A temporary fair opened on the National Mall to inaugurate a 16-day program commemorating the United States' 250th anniversary.

UBS reports the two-month rolling correlation between the S&P 500 and the 10-year Treasury yield has dropped to -0.69, the lowest reading since 1996. Historically, negative bond-equity correlations have offered downside protection for balanced portfolios because investors flock to government bonds when equities fall. That relationship is weakening …
Bolivia announced it will abandon its 15-year fixed exchange-rate regime and adopt a flexible system, a policy change designed to address severe dollar scarcity, shore up external competitiveness and restore macroeconomic stability. The central bank will manage the transition after the government issued a decree citing the need to strengthen macroe…

Pan American Silver (PAAS) has pulled back from its 2026 highs into key technical support while fundamentals — record 2025 revenue, planned production growth and high-grade exploration hits at La Colorada — argue for upside if silver remains elevated. This trade idea outlines a mid-term long with a clear entry, stop and target and a tight framework…
Cable One (Sparklight) trades like a distressed asset on the equity side while continuing to generate meaningful free cash flow. At a market cap of roughly $300M and free cash flow of $279M, equity looks cheap on a price-to-FCF basis, but the enterprise value and leverage tell a different story. This trade idea buys the mismatch: a long with clear …
Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh enters a consequential week as the U.S. Supreme Court readies a potential decision on the legality of President Donald Trump’s attempt to remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook, and Warsh prepares to appear at the European Central Bank’s annual forum in Sintra. A ruling that protects Cook from at-will removal would reduce p…
Blue Owl (OWL) looks like a classic 'priced-for-the-worst' situation: heavy retail and institutional flows into private credit have become a liquidity risk, investigations and fund gating headlines are persistent, and technicals show distribution. I outline a mid-term (45 trading days) short with a clear entry at $8.65, stop at $9.50 and a primary …
Aeluma (ALMU) sold off after an earnings miss tied to timing of government contracts, but the business has non-dilutive program wins, new partnerships, and a clear path to commercializing quantum dot lasers. Valuation is lofty on current revenue, yet the market has already priced in future growth. For disciplined traders, a long entry around $20 wi…
GDS Holdings is trading well below its 52-week high despite accelerating AI-driven bookings, a recent $385M DayOne monetization and improving margins. Q1 revenue of $488.1M (+23.6% YoY) and record 200MW bookings show demand strength; conservative full-year guidance and headline selling have left the stock oversold. This trade idea targets a mid-ter…
Citi argues the rout in Chinese internet stocks has been overdone after investors rotated into AI hardware winners. The bank lists PDD, Meituan, Baidu, NetEase, Trip.com and Full Truck Alliance as preferred picks, noting large cash cushions, ongoing buybacks and valuations that are near the cheapest levels seen in years despite continued cash flow …
McCormick (MKC) offers a compelling risk-reward: an immediate yield around 4%, solid free cash flow of about $1.02B, and a valuation that looks compressed at roughly 8.5x earnings. Combine that with an active M&A backdrop and the pending Unilever foods deal and you have a tactical long with defined risk to capture roughly 35% upside to $69 over a 1…
Lenovo's PC business still gets headlines, but the company is executing an AI infrastructure pivot: AI revenue grew 84% and now accounts for 38% of the quarter, supported by a $15.5B AI server pipeline and partnerships with NVIDIA. With a market cap of roughly $37.5B and a P/E of ~19.6, the stock looks tradeable to the long side as the market re-ra…
Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) offers a durable 5.9% yield, $2.2B in free cash flow and a conservative valuation (P/E ~13.4, EV/EBITDA 11.6). Against MPLX, EPD's sheer scale, diversified fee-based cash flows and stronger free cash generation make it my preferred long trade for a 180-trading-day horizon. Trade plan: long EPD at $36.58, stop $33.…
Alphabet's shares have retraced into the mid-$300s after a strong run into May. Fundamentals - $64.4B free cash flow, a $4.07T market cap, 33% return on equity - and ongoing hyperscaler AI capex argue this dip is a buying opportunity. This trade lays out precise entry, stop and target with horizon and risk framing.
Pilbara Minerals (PILBF) is trading below its short- and medium-term moving averages and shows oversold momentum, while short interest remains extremely elevated. If the lithium cycle stabilizes and flows rotate back to survivors with scale, a conviction long with tight risk management offers asymmetric upside over the next 45 trading days.
Recent interviews with 18 Americans who voted for Donald Trump in 2024 show broad unease with the interim agreement ending U.S. hostilities with Iran.

Orient Express, a joint venture run by Accor with LVMH as partner, has launched its first of two large yachts aimed at the ultra-rich.

Bernstein lowered its price target on BMW to €85 from €108 while retaining an Outperform rating, citing a weaker China demand outlook, reduced earnings and profitability projections, and higher competitive pressure in Asia-Pacific. The firm cut its 2026 guidance assumptions after BMW’s own reduction in guidance, but still sees the automaker’s Neue …
Iran said it carried out strikes on targets it linked to U.S. forces on Saturday, describing the actions as a response to U.S. airstrikes on Iranian coastal surveillance installations.
