    Omnivery Research Finds Email Clicks Are Following Opens Into the Bot Era

    In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady discusses the findings of Omnivery's latest research, The State of Email Bots 2026, which highlights the growing influence of automated activity on email engagement metrics. The research, available on Omnivery's website at https://omnivery.com, reveals a significant rise in bot-generated email clicks, a trend that poses challenges for marketers, publishers, and email platforms worldwide. The study shows that while only about 2% of clicks on business-to-consumer emails were generated by bots in 2023, this figure is projected to rise to approximately 16% by 2026, indicating an eightfold increase. This shift in email engagement metrics could have profound implications for digital marketing strategies, as clicks are crucial for segmentation, automation, attribution, and advertising payments. Omnivery's research analyzed email engagement across 126 mailbox-provider families in six global regions, uncovering dramatic differences in bot activity by provider. For instance, Microsoft Outlook and Hotmail show approximately 30% bot contamination among consumer clicks, while Apple iCloud has reached around 12%. Gmail experienced a notable increase, with bot-click share jumping to approximately 22% in early 2026. The study also highlights the importance of distinguishing between different types of automated activity, such as privacy proxies, security scanners, crawlers, and fraud bots, as none represent genuine human engagement. Omnivery recommends that organizations focus on reporting human-only engagement metrics and ensure that marketing automation and artificial intelligence models operate on human-classified data to maintain data quality and accuracy in understanding customer behavior.

    J. Rotbart & Co. Releases Analysis of Asian Gold Holding Trends Ahead of India Gold Conference 2026

    In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady discusses the latest analysis from J. Rotbart & Co., an international precious-metals brokerage and storage firm, which has released its findings on Asian gold holding trends ahead of the India Gold Conference 2026. The analysis reveals a significant shift in gold demand and supply dynamics across Asia, with a particular focus on India. Despite a 5.9% decline in gold demand in India, spending reached a record 21 billion United States dollars, and recycled gold supply fell to its lowest level in eleven quarters. This trend indicates that Asian households and investors are opting to hold onto their physical gold rather than selling it, even as local prices have increased by 59% compared to the previous year. For more information, visit J. Rotbart & Co.'s website. The podcast further explores how these trends are not isolated to India but are part of a broader regional pattern. Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, have seen an increase in bar and coin demand, while China's central bank continues to add to its reserves. The analysis highlights the importance of Hong Kong and Singapore as key hubs for gold storage and trading, reflecting mainland Chinese demand and policy. J. Rotbart & Co. emphasizes that the center of gravity in the physical gold market is shifting towards Asian vaults, with policy changes like India's import duty rise impacting these hubs first. This episode underscores the importance of understanding the structure and jurisdiction of precious metal ownership for investors worldwide.
