The Federal Reserve is widely expected to raise its policy rate by 25 basis points to a 3.75%-4.00% range. Because inflation remains comfortably above the Fed’s 2% goal and global borrowing costs have edged higher, attention is focused on how Chair Kevin Warsh presents the decision and his outlook for future policy. Investors will judge whether the…
Montana voters will decide this November whether to enact Initiative 194, a ballot measure that would prohibit corporations and other "artificial persons" from spending money on elections. The measure, dubbed the Montana Plan, does not directly challenge the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision but instead targets corporate powers gra…
Riot’s reported $9.1 billion AI/data-center agreement reframes the firm from a pure-play Bitcoin miner into a potential digital infrastructure operator. The market has started to price the story, but fundamentals remain challenged: negative EBITDA metrics, steep free cash flow losses, and a high valuation on sales. I’m constructive on a trade sized…
U.S. oil and gas drilling activity rose by 8 rigs in the latest week, the largest weekly increase since a 10-rig jump in late May and the second-largest weekly move so far in 2026. The Permian Basin accounted for the bulk of the gain, while public operator counts held steady and the share of rigs run by companies covered by UBS edged down.
Union Pacific shares climbed in pre-market trading after UBS raised its rating to Buy and increased its price target, citing stronger volume expectations and earnings estimates that outpace consensus.

Alvotech shares jumped about 5.6% in pre-market trading after Barclays upgraded the biosimilars developer to Overweight from Underweight and raised its price target from $4.00 to $8.00.

Deutsche Bank upgraded Amadeus IT Group from hold to buy and raised its price target to €71.50 from €58 after conversations with company executives and its own travel-booking AI experiments. The bank found that even a severe AI-driven disintermediation case produces only a modest hit to 2028 earnings-per-share, and that current valuation already em…
JB Hunt Transport Services Inc. shares dropped as much as 9% in premarket Wednesday after the company issued an uncommon intra-quarter earnings outlook and pointed to rising costs at a Morgan Stanley conference.

Goldman Sachs reported August credit-card performance showing mildly higher delinquencies but a sharper-than-expected decline in net charge-offs, along with above-seasonal loan growth. The bank said these trends leave card issuers on track to beat consensus loss estimates for the third quarter unless losses accelerate markedly in September.
Deutsche Bank moved Aena from sell to hold after Spain’s Council of Ministers approved a 0.33% annual tariff increase under the Dora III regulatory framework.

The firm cites stronger-than-expected dividend performance across regions, earnings upgrades driven by AI-capex beneficiaries - notably semiconductor firms - and a supportive sector mix in E…
UBS says the Swiss franc is under pressure because low domestic yields have widened the gap with other G10 currencies amid rising energy costs and expectations of further tightening from the ECB, Fed and BoE. The bank expects the SNB to hold in September and not to hike, which could allow EUR/CHF to retest 0.96 in the near term. Over the medium ter…
Oil futures climbed back above $108 per barrel after Saudi Arabia shut down its East-West pipeline, offsetting an earlier dip tied to reports of possible GCC-Iran talks and weaker demand forecasts. Citi analysts say near-term price support comes from the combination of geopolitical risk and steady physical demand, while available inventories and ex…

Recent announcements — notably an $800M Chile investment plan — and sector momentum give a clear re-rating p…
TISCO Securities moved its view on Thailand's electronic components sector from neutral to overweight, pointing to a brighter second half of 2026, clearer data-centre spending plans for 2027 and a recent pullback that it says has already priced in much of investor pessimism. The broker upgraded Delta Electronics Thailand and Hana Microelectronics t…
Piper Sandler recommended investors avoid heavy equity exposure after identifying deteriorating intermediate-term breadth and momentum. The firm highlighted sell readings in its 26-week and 40-week indicators, a rise in weekly downtrends versus uptrends, and uneven sector performance amid a spike in the U.S. 10-year yield and volatile oil prices.
Citi's latest survey finds that consumers plan to replace smartphones more frequently, with average holding periods shrinking to between 2.1 and 2.7 years from prior ranges of 2.9 to 4.3 years across regions. Demand for AI-capable devices is a key driver, lifting purchase consideration for Apple amid interest from older iPhone owners in Apple Intel…
CEA Industries has positioned itself as an unconventional BNB accumulator. The market currently treats the stock like a microcap shell, leaving an opportunity for a high-reward long trade if management proves the token stash and the market values those assets. This is a high-risk, event-driven trade best sized as a satellite position.
