Mitrade Backs World Snooker Tour as Official Trading Partner as New Generation Rises Across Asia

Published

on

MANILA, Philippines, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mitrade is sponsoring the World Snooker Tour (WST) as its Official Trading Partner. The move comes as Asia-Pacific’s retail trading population turns markedly younger: CME Group cites participation in the region has grown 16% over the past five years, with younger Southeast Asian investors driving much of that expansion.

That same generational shift is reshaping snooker’s own following. 80% of the sport’s fans in China are 50 or younger, against 27% in the UK, according to WST figures reported by TIME. Together, these trends strengthen the case for financial education and disciplined decision-making.

Mitrade has been growing alongside that same generation. Since January 2026, the group reports that active trading clients increased 54% year on year, while the number of trades rose 79% and total lots traded grew 149%. The WST sponsorship gives Mitrade an international platform to deepen engagement with a growing community of traders and fans.

“The World Snooker Tour is a prestigious international platform with a strong global following, and we are proud to support its reach,” said Kevin Lai, Vice President of Mitrade Group. “The concentration, composure and judgement the sport demands reflect qualities we value: thoughtful decision-making, discipline and respect for risk. This sponsorship reflects our responsible growth and commitment to helping traders understand financial markets, and we look forward to a meaningful relationship with WST’s community.”

“We are delighted to welcome Mitrade to the World Snooker Tour,” said Peter Wright, Chief Commercial Officer of WST. “This is a significant partnership with a dynamic global brand, and we are excited about working together across our European events.”

Mitrade’s involvement with WST will kick off at the British Open in Cheltenham on 31 August 2026.

Gigasoft 2026 JavaScript Chart Comparison: ProEssentials, Highcharts, SciChart, LightningChart, ECharts

Published

on

By

ProEssentialsJS is not faster, it’s [magnitudes] faster. LightningChart’s published refreshing test is 1,000,000 points at 10 Hz, which is 10 million points per second. ProEssentialsJS runs 25,000,000 points at 25 frames per second, or 625 million points per second. At 100,000,000 points and 7 frames per second it is 700 million. Measured on an RTX 3090, a card from 2020.

DALLAS, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Gigasoft, Inc. releases new product ProEssentialsJS, their first javascript product.

A desktop engine, not just a another web library. The same native C++ engine Gigasoft has evolved since 1995, running inside instrumentation, SCADA, medical and test-and-measurement products, ported to WebAssembly.

The JavaScript property names are the WinForms property names. AI coding assistants are grounded by pe_query.py and the Ai-Data repository, which validate answers against the compiled engine rather than searching documentation. No hallucination.

Compute shaders feeding compute shaders, and a zero-copy path. The chart is handed a pointer into the WebAssembly heap, and GPU stages consume each other’s output without returning to the CPU. This is full-data-replacement work: large line data, 3D surfaces, 2D contours, where the whole dataset changes every frame. A charting engine designed by electrical engineers, engineered to the nth degree. Nobody Renders Like We Do! See example 123 in our live javascript charting demo.

No WebGL context limit. Canvas2D is not a GPU context, so putting many charts on one page does not run into the browser’s cap. The GPU is engaged where the chart needs it.

Free for commercial use under USD 250,000 revenue, redistribution included. No license key, no activation, no domain lock, no phone home, no watermark.

Read the full JavaScript chart comparison, the methodology behind the fastest JavaScript chart claim, and how the zero-copy data path works. Every example runs in the browser at live JavaScript chart demos. Terms are published in full at license.

About Gigasoft, Inc. Gigasoft has built charting components since 1995 and has served roughly 6,500 customers, including NASA, NASA JPL, Rockwell, Emerson Process, ABB, Siemens and Halliburton. ProEssentials runs on WinUI, WPF, WinForms, MFC, Delphi, ActiveX and, now, the browser. Support is free and unlimited for the life of the version.

JustMarkets Analyzes How Global Market Sentiment Shapes Trading Strategies

Published

on

By

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JustMarkets released an in-depth analysis on how global investor sentiment influences currency, commodity, and equity markets. The global broker explains how understanding risk-on and risk-off sentiment can help traders interpret market movements and make more informed decisions across multiple asset classes.

What Is Risk-On and Risk-Off?

Risk-on sentiment typically develops during periods when investors hold positive economic expectations. In these environments, traders may be more willing to take on additional risk in pursuit of higher returns. However, this does not mean that profits are guaranteed.

Risk-off behavior emerges amid growing uncertainty. Geopolitical tensions, slowing economic growth, inflation concerns, or unexpected market disruptions typically prompt investors to shift toward defensive assets and safer investments.

Understanding these two market modes may provide traders with a strategic advantage before executing trades.

Assets That Often Reflect Market Sentiment

Market sentiment shifts typically trigger varying responses across financial instruments.

Risk-On Assets

When trader optimism rises, capital may flow toward:

Indexes such as US500, US100, and US30Technology and growth stocksCommodity currencies (AUD, NZD)Industrial commodities

Risk-Off Assets

As uncertainty increases, investors may gravitate toward:

Gold (XAU/USD)Japanese yen (JPY)US dollar (USD)Defensive instruments

Key Correlations Traders May Watch

Equities and Gold

The relationship between stock markets and gold represents one of the most closely observed correlations in trading. During favorable market sentiment, stock indices may attract capital while gold interest may decline. Conversely, gold may become more attractive as a protective asset during market stress.

US Dollar and Risk Aversion

The US dollar often appreciates during periods of market turmoil, reflecting its critical role in the global financial system. As risk appetite declines, traders may allocate funds toward USD-based assets. A strengthening dollar typically coincides with weaker stock indices and increased safe-haven demand.

Japanese Yen as a Safe-Haven Currency

The Japanese yen is traditionally regarded as a safe-haven asset. During unfavorable market conditions, traders may reduce risk exposure by allocating capital to Japanese yen, which often results in depreciation of currency pairs such as USD/JPY.

Building a Comprehensive Market Picture

Most traders focus on individual charts, yet markets remain interconnected – market sentiment spreads across asset classes simultaneously. Monitoring stocks, foreign exchange, commodities, and precious metals together may help traders develop a more complete understanding of overall market conditions before executing trading decisions.

Through multi-asset CFD trading, live market analysis, and advanced trading capabilities offered by JustMarkets, CFD traders can analyze global market sentiment from a single platform. While recognizing market sentiment patterns does not guarantee trading success, it may help traders align their strategies with prevailing market conditions.

About JustMarkets

JustMarkets is a global financial CFD trading platform designed to eliminate technical noise and enable investors to focus on what matters most: making informed decisions. With modern infrastructure and professional services, JustMarkets serves as a reliable partner for traders seeking to navigate the financial markets.

Risk Warning: Trading CFDs on financial instruments involves significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Market conditions can change rapidly, and losses may exceed deposits. Ensure you understand the risks involved and trade responsibly.

BeautyPlus Bedazzled Gem Filter Gains Viral Momentum Across Japan and Thailand

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BeautyPlus users across Asia are turning selfies, food, drinks, and everyday snapshots into gem-covered creations with the app’s Bedazzled Gem Filter. The sparkling effect has gained strong organic momentum in Japan and Thailand, with interest also emerging in Taiwan region and Hong Kong SAR.

In Japan, one post on X amassed 8.1 million views, 30,000 likes, and 3,500 reposts. In Thailand, a popular post on X drew 2.6 million views, while multiple Instagram posts surpassed 1 million views. The scale of activity across both markets suggests the trend is traveling across audiences rather than staying within a single local community.

Part of BeautyPlus’s broader AI filters collection, Bedazzled Gem has moved well beyond selfies as users apply it to desserts, coffee, accessories, and lifestyle shots. Its bold, decorative look also fits naturally with the Y2K, kawaii, and maximalist aesthetics already popular online, making the effect easy to recognize, recreate, and share.

BeautyPlus data shows that Bedazzled Gem usage rose 200% in both Japan and Thailand from August 21 to 23. During the same period, BeautyPlus reached No. 4 in Japan and No. 1 in Thailand in the App Store’s Photo & Video category. BeautyPlus also saw ranking gains in Taiwan region and Hong Kong SAR during the same period.

App rankings reflect multiple factors, but the timing points to a notable overlap between the filter’s social momentum and increased attention to BeautyPlus.

“What’s been especially exciting is seeing how users have made it their own,” said Vincent Lu, Product Lead at BeautyPlus. “It started as a photo effect, and now people are applying it to food, everyday moments, and whatever catches their eye. That’s exactly the kind of self-expression we want BeautyPlus to enable.”

The Bedazzled Gem Filter is available now in the BeautyPlus photo editing app and takes just a few taps to apply. The app also includes tools such as the AI Image Enhancer, which helps improve photo resolution, color, and contrast.

About BeautyPlus

BeautyPlus, developed by Pixocial, is a photo and video editing app and website offering beauty, AI, and creative tools that help users edit content and express themselves through visual creation.
