A memorable Singapore evening with my friend Paula Nava of Marquis Inc. at ATLAS, in Parkview Square’s Art Deco lobby.
ATLAS’s gin tower holds 1,300+ gins and is often called the world’s best gin library. In 2020, it ranked No. 4 on The World’s 50 Best Bars list and was named Best Bar in Asia. Thanks to Hector for the exclusive tour and Paula for arranging it!
After that we headed to Lau Pa Sat for dinner. “Old market” in Hokkien, it’s an 1894 octagonal cast-iron market whose frame was forged in Glasgow and shipped here in pieces. Now a national monument and hawker centre in the financial district, its independent food stalls include Michelin Bib Gourmand recipients.
Thanks again to Paula for an amazing evening!

Ooof. U.S. #wheat export shipments were just 75,413 tonnes (2.8 million bushels) last week—the lowest weekly total since records began in 1983.
Futures remain under pressure despite Black Sea shipping disruptions, as funds keep adding to shorts.

Happy 71st to my dad! He’s had health setbacks but keeps fighting. He says I got my attitude and grit from him—and he’s right. He got his from his mother, Twitter’s favorite margarita-drinking grandma 😂

He literally refers to this disk as “big boy”
I’ve never seen him more proud than when he’s using it, though. Watching him back it out of the shed blows my mind. He can back up equipment better than men with 50 more years of experience
Gen is in there too. She’s his shadow
Good looking povertygrass, buddy! #wheat

Not a terrible place to write The Weekender—from the infinity pool on Level 57 at Marina Bay Sands.

Dinner at Spago on the 57th floor, looking out over Gardens by the Bay and the Singapore Strait.
The lights past the gardens are ships. Around 1,000 vessels sit in Singapore's port waters at any given time — about a third alongside at the terminals, the rest at anchor or waiting in the Strait. A ship arrives or leaves every two to three minutes, roughly 130,000 calls a year.
It’s one of the busiest shipping hubs on earth, and a good share of what's out there floating is grain, oilseeds and palm oil.
I’m excited to be in Singapore this week for CME Group's APAC Commodities Forum, then heading to Bali at the end of the week for IPOC. 🌴🌱

Meetings and the estate tour were one part of the week. Here are a few of my other favorite parts of Malaysia. 🇲🇾🧵
I found the squishy jackpot at a shop near the Petaling Street Market. $1-2 each vs. $10-15+ for the same thing in the States. They even had #corn 😂
