Fayafi unveils revolutionary Market Emotional Knowledge & Kinetic Analysis algorithm
MEKKA, an acronym for Market Emotional Knowledge & Kinetic Analysis, was created by Fayafi Investment Holding's Executive President Dr Patrick Pilati in 2017 in collaboration with Swiss mathematicians.
The advanced financial platform recognizes that markets are driven by human emotions, biases, and psychological patterns. MEKKA integrates sentiment analysis, AI-driven market forecasting, and real-time behavioural insights to optimize investment strategies.
MEKKA relies on Market Emotional Knowledge (MEK) to understand and quantify investor sentiment, cognitive biases, and emotional market drivers. It also uses Kinetic Analysis (KA) to study market momentum driven by behavioural patterns, liquidity flows and investor reactions. MEKKA helps institutional investors like Fayafi anticipate market shifts before they occur.
"While traditional financial models focus purely on quantitative and fundamental analysis, MEKKA combines psychology, AI, and trading analytics to deliver a more complete understanding of market behaviour. By integrating market sentiment analysis, AI-driven behavioural finance models, and predictive trading intelligence, MEKKA enables a more complete understanding of market sentiment. It allows investors to identify opportunities before they gain mainstream attention," said Dr. Patrick Pilati, Executive President of Fayafi Investment Holding.
MEKKA continuously scans and quantifies investor sentiment using AI-powered real-time monitoring of news and social media analysis to detect sentiment and market shifts. It tracks proprietary indicators measuring emotional states in equity, commodity, and bond markets. It also offers decision-makers investor sentiment heatmaps, visually depicting emotional trends across global financial markets. These insights enable investors to detect early signs of market movements.
"MEKKA represents a transformational shift in financial markets, proving that investor psychology is as crucial as technical and fundamental analysis. MEKKA empowers investors to understand hidden psychological market drivers, capitalise on market inefficiencies and mitigate risk through behavioural-based trading strategies. With MEKKA, investment decisions are no longer based solely on numbers but are also guided by deep insights into human psychology and market emotion," he added.
MEKKA offers deep insights into niche strategic investments such as isotope copper of which Fayafi holds USD 3.6 billion in reserves within its Dubai vaults at Ferrari Logistics DMCC. Fayafi Investment SPV has succeeded in commoditizing and securitizing isotope copper, making available USD 1.44B in Euroclear security certificates backed by the metal on the SIX Swiss Exchange in February 2025.
In 2025, Fayafi Investment Holding Limited integrated MEKKA into its investment framework, enhancing its ability to navigate market trends, manage risks and capitalize on behavioural-driven opportunities. MEKKA has enabled Fayafi to optimise its investment decisions by aligning commodity investments with sentiment-based market trends, and enhance liquidity management by timing transactions based on emotional flow predictions.
Backed by Fayafi Investment Holding, MEKKA is evolving rapidly. Upcoming milestones include the launch of automated financial advisors powered by MEKKA's reasoning engine, integration with blockchain and DeFi, and expanding MEKKA's insights beyond commodities into other sectors including real estate, venture capital and private equity markets. A key goal, according to Dr Pilati, is to begin offering MEKKA's capabilities to investment banks and sovereign wealth funds as a licensed platform.
"MEKKA has enabled Fayafi to achieve stronger market positioning, mitigate risks, and maximize returns by aligning investments with psychological market trends. With its rapid improvements and new features, MEKKA is set to reshape the future of behavioural finance-driven investing while keeping Fayafi Investment Holding Limited at the forefront of global financial market intelligence," Dr Pilati concluded.

Fed rate-cut drumbeat pegs back dollar; Asian stocks take a breather
SINGAPORE: The U.S. dollar was under pressure on Thursday as traders piled into wagers that the Federal Reserve will resume cutting interest rates next month, powering Bitcoin to a record high, while a blistering rally in regional stocks took a breather. MSCI's gauge of equities in Asia excluding Japan nudged higher and lingered near its loftiest level since September 2021, taking cues from Wall Street, where the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes hit new closing highs for the second straight day. The MSCI All Country World Index rose to a record high for the second straight session on Wednesday. Japan's Nikkei fell after a searing six-day rally that boosted it past the 43,000 mark for the first time. Shares in Korea and Taiwan were slightly lower as well. China's blue-chip stock index and shares in Hong Kong gained. The dollar fell to a two-week low against a basket of major peers on shifting expectations of U.S. rate cuts, with comments from the U.S. Treasury Secretary also helping bolster expectations of an outsized 50 basis point cut. The Japanese yen hit a three-week high of 146.38 per dollar in early trading. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Wednesday that an aggressive half-point cut was possible in September after revised labour market data from last week showed that job growth had slowed sharply in May, June and July. Goldman Sachs said on Wednesday in a research note it expects the U.S. Federal Reserve to deliver three 25-basis-point interest rate cuts this year and two more in 2026. Traders are pricing in certainty of a rate cut in September with odds of a 50 bps cut rising to 7%, up from 0% a week earlier. While a tame U.S. inflation report this week boosted the case for rate cuts, some analysts have cautioned against market complacency, saying that upcoming data may alter expectations. "We're not as convinced of a 25bp FOMC rate cut in September as financial markets, let alone a 50bp rate cut," said Carol Kong, economist and currency strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia. "There will be another CPI and payrolls report ahead of the September meeting that can make or break the case for a rate cut," Kong said. BITCOIN, GOLD Optimism on monetary policy easing in the world's largest economy also powered cryptocurrency bitcoin to an all-time high of $124,002.49 with analysts also pointing to recent financial sector reforms as a tailwind for the asset class. Bitcoin has risen 32% so far in 2025, and the second largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, has climbed 41% and is hovering just shy of its all-time high hit in November 2021. In commodity markets, gold prices rose 0.5% to $3,371 and crude oil prices edged up after hitting a two-month low on Wednesday as investors kept their focus on the summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Friday. Trump on Wednesday threatened "severe consequences" if Putin did not agree to peace in Ukraine but also said that a meeting between them could swiftly be followed by a second one that would include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. In the past, Trump has said both sides will have to swap land to end fighting that has cost tens of thousands of lives and displaced millions. "While lack of progress towards a ceasefire may lead to renewed threats of secondary oil tariffs/sanctions, we see limited risk of large disruptions in Russia supply," analysts at Goldman Sachs wrote in a note. Large volumes of Russian exports, the possibility of deepening price discounts to maintain demand, and the likely eagerness of key buyers India, and especially China, to continue energy cooperation with Russia are expected to avert major disruptions, they said. Trump signed an executive order last week levying an additional 25% tariff on India's exports to the U.S., saying that the country directly or indirectly imported Russian oil. He has also hinted at similar tariffs on China.
