Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn's critically acclaimed new movie Hoard has confirmed a UK release date.

Directed by Luna Carmoon, the film, which has already garnered rave reviews, will hit cinemas in the UK and Ireland on May 10, 2024 (via Twitter).

The movie, which stars Saura Lightfoot Leon opposite the Eddie Munson actor, premiered at this year's Venice International Film Festival and subsequently received a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes - though this has since fallen to 90% at the time of writing.

As previously reported by Digital Spy, the film held its UK premiere on October 9 at the BFI London Film Festival but it seems fans will have to wait a little bit longer for the theatrical release.

Set in London in 1984, Hoard tells the story of a 7-year-old girl named Maria (played by Lily Beau-Leach) and her mother who live in a world of their own which is "built on sorting through bins and collecting shiny rubbish".

Following a dramatic event which sees the mother and daughter's world torn apart, the film then skips ahead ten years where an older Maria (played by Lightfoot Leon) is living with a foster mother.

Per the official synopsis, "an older stranger, Michael (Joseph Quinn), then enters their home, opening the door to past trauma, magic and madness…"

Starring Hayley Squires, Deba Hekmat and Cathy Tyson alongside Quinn and Lightfoot Leon, the film will serve as Carmoon's feature debut.

Describing the performances from its lead actors as "arresting", The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw wrote: "Everything and the kitchen sink is thrown into this deeply strange and emotionally extravagant story with its continuous topnote of hysteria: and there's a lot of storytelling substance. Hoard isn't perfect but its pure vehemence and the commitment of its performances are arresting."

Hoard will be released in the UK and Ireland on May 10, 2024.

Hedge fund study on U.S. Treasury issuance fuels debate
A hedge fund study that said the U.S. Treasury last year effectively provided economic stimulus by moderating long-dated bond sales has sparked a debate in the bond market and a denial from the U.S. Treasury that said it was not aiming for such an effect. The U.S. Treasury Department announced in November it would slow the pace of auction size increases of long-dated debt securities, a move that gave relief to bond markets rattled by previous increases in long-term debt supply. This led to a decline in 10-year Treasury yields equivalent to the economic stimulus that would be provided by a one percentage point reduction in the Fed's policy rate, according to a study published by Hudson Bay Capital Management.

Yellen: Emerging markets share concerns on China's excess factory capacity
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Friday that emerging markets, including some G20 countries, share her concerns about China's excess industrial capacity and should press Beijing to change its economic model. Yellen told Reuters in an interview that the concerns about China overinvesting in factories and flooding the world with cheap goods extends well beyond the wealthy G7 democracies to countries including G20 host Brazil, which has raised tariffs on Chinese steel and electric vehicles. Yellen said that China is not taking advice from other countries and the International Monetary Fund to revive its economy with measures to increase consumer spending and demand for services.

Six banks settle European bond price fixing litigation in New York
Six banks including Bank of America and Citigroup agreed to pay $80 million to settle antitrust litigation in New York accusing them of conspiring to rig prices of European government bonds. A preliminary settlement with Bank of America, Citigroup, Jefferies, NatWest, Nomura and UBS was filed late Friday in Manhattan federal court, and requires a judge's approval. Investors led by three public pension funds accused the banks of having colluded, including in online chatrooms, to bid high prices at bond auctions to ensure a dominant market share, and then to sell the bonds at inflated prices to mutual funds, pension funds, insurers and other investors.
