Tove Pre-Fall 2025 Collection
Tove's pre-fall 2025 collection had been in a state of flux until now. Ready and waiting to be revealed for some time, the release was put on hold, owing to fears it would be replicated by retailers, as has been the case in the recent past. So much so, they've taken legal action. 'We had to protect it,' founders Camille Perry and Holly Wright said at a preview. 'We're giving them loads of inspiration before we've even had the chance to sell it ourselves.' In the digital age this is, rather disappointingly, to be expected.
For Perry and Wright, pre-fall felt like a 'representation of signatures.' Newness arrived in the form of higher hemlines and fresh takes on their interlaced knitwear––accented with custom textured-metal buttons. A new enveloping silhouette seen throughout was, while effortless as an end product, the result of a labor-intensive draping exercise, realized in various fabrications including supple leather and sequins (the latter was a Tove first). A scarlet, single-breasted wool coat that hits the shins is one of their favorite looks. 'There's an ease to everything,' they said.
With a background working at Topshop (where they met), Perry and Wright are familiar with the nature of copy culture on the high street. But they stress that nowadays, it feels more prevalent. 'It was much more about capturing a moment,' Perry said about conjuring a certain mood, something they strive to do at Tove.
Tove customers, a loyal cohort, will be pleased that pre-fall is finally here—available via the 'see-now, buy-now' model that many brands have adopted to ensure they can own the sales at the time of a debut. Even if this collection is mimicked, Perry and Wright have created a world (beyond the clothes themselves) that women want to invest in.

Gold prices edge higher as dollar weakens
Gold prices inched higher on Monday morning, and continue to trade near all-time highs, with weakness in the dollar offering support to the precious metal. Gold futures (GC=F) were up 0.2% at $3,293.30 an ounce at the time of writing, while the spot gold price climbed 1.4% to $3,286.03 per ounce. Meanwhile, the US dollar ( index, which measures the greenback against a basket of six currencies, was down 0.2% to 97.17. Gold tends to have an inverse relationship to the dollar, as it is typically traded in the US currency, so weakness in the greenback makes the precious metal cheaper for overseas buyers.

Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "Exuberance is set to continue at the start of the week, as more trade deal scores are on the doors and geopolitical tensions have eased off. "Talks between Canada and the US are back on the cards, after an agreement to scrap a tax targeting American tech firms," she said. "There will now be speculation that other countries, like the UK, will be forced to drop their own taxes targeting the biggest tech firms in the world when further talks take place." Streeter added: "The trade deal announced again between the US and China, has poured more optimism into glass half full attitudes. Even though it's still pretty scant on detail, the agreement looks set to give US companies better access to crucial rare earth minerals, exported from China." The pound dipped 0.1% lower against the dollar (GBPUSD=X) on Monday, to trade at $1.3694, as investors weighed the latest UK economic data releases. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) confirmed a preliminary estimate that the UK economy expanded by 0.7% in the first three months of the year However, the household savings ratio, a measure of how much people save, fell for the first time in two years, to 10.9% from 12%, as people spent more on fuel, rent and restaurant meals. Danni Hewson, head of financial analysis at AJ Bell (AJB.L), said: "Confirmation that the UK economy delivered the fastest growth of any G7 country at the start of the year feels almost redundant.

"The early growth spurt looks set to be an anomaly rather than the sustained expansion the government needs if it's to pad treasury coffers without resorting to tax rises or further spending cuts," she added. In other currency moves, the pound was slightly lower against the euro (GBPEUR=X), trading at €1.1683 at the time of writing. Oil prices dipped on Monday morning, amid easing geopolitical risks, following sharp movements in the commodity last week. Brent crude (BZ=F) futures edged 0.1% lower to $66.74 per barrel, at the time of writing, while West Texas Intermediate futures (CL=F) fell 0.3% to $65.35 a barrel. Stocks: Create your watchlist and portfolio "With the Iran-Israel-US truce holding, geopolitical tensions have calmed and that's kept downwards pressure on oil prices," said Hargreaves Lansdown's Streeter. "Brent Crude has fallen 14% over the past week as the easing of supply disruption worries collided with expectations that OPEC+ nations would ramp up production. There is still expected to be fall out for global growth, due to the impact of US trade policies, so the expectation of lower demand for energy is also weighing on prices." More broadly, the FTSE 100 (^FTSE) fell 0.3% on Friday morning to 8,773 points. For more details, on broader market movements check our live coverage here.

Advent to buy majority stake in data center equipment maker LayerZero
(Reuters) -Private equity firm Advent International said on Monday it has agreed to acquire a majority stake in LayerZero Power Systems, which manufactures power infrastructure equipment for data centers. The majority stake in the Aurora, Ohio-based company is valued at about $1 billion, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters. A surge in use of artificial intelligence services such as ChatGPT is driving demand for data centers, and with it, investment in power infrastructure as companies race to expand energy capacity. LayerZero's products include power distribution units, remote power panels and static transfer switches, which ensure the safe and reliable distribution of electricity for facilities such as data centers. "As data centers evolve to support the growing needs of AI and high-performance computing, our role has become even more important," LayerZero co-founder Milind Bhanoo said. After the deal closes, LayerZero's founders, Bhanoo and James Galm, will remain minority equity holders in the company. Advent will support LayerZero in scaling up manufacturing capacity, expanding its customer base and growing service capabilities. Annette Clayton, an operating partner at Advent and former CEO of Schneider Electric North America, will serve as LayerZero Chair after the deal closes. Private equity deal-making is rebounding after a pause induced by tariffs and global uncertainty, driven by renewed buying appetite and improving confidence in the market's trajectory. Earlier this month, Advent International announced a 4.4 billion pound ($6.03 billion) takeover of Spectris, a London-listed precision instruments maker. ($1 = 0.7302 pounds)
