Commodity markets were firmer, with gold and crude oil posting notable…

Two fatal shootings by federal officers in Minneapolis have intensified scrutiny of the Trump administration's large-scale immigration enforcement operation, prompting partisan clashes in Congress, unease among some Republicans and gun-rights advocates, and renewed calls from Democrats to block funding for agencies that oversee ICE ahead of a loomi…
Two separate shootings in Minneapolis this month involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents left two U.S. citizens dead and have prompted sharp disputes between local officials and the federal government over whether the officers acted lawfully.

Senior administration figures defended the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, asserting the agents acted in self-defense after alleging Pretti assaulted officers and obstructed a law enforcement operation. Multiple bystander videos reviewed by Reuters appear to show Pretti holding a phone rather than a gun a…
A deep freeze sweeping much of the United States sent real-time wholesale electricity prices sharply higher on Sunday after demand in Virginia - home to the world’s largest concentration of data centers - exceeded forecasts. PJM Interconnection reported a late Saturday-night surge in demand and projects a potential all-time winter peak this week, w…
At least 80 individuals whom Venezuela's Foro Penal considers political prisoners were freed across the country on Sunday as part of a continuing release process, the group's director said.

The U.N.

Delta Air Lines is operating a reduced flight schedule as a winter storm affects multiple U.S. regions. The carrier says proactive schedule adjustments mean currently planned flying is proceeding as scheduled, while it monitors conditions in the Northeast and at its Atlanta hub.

Foreign exchange markets opened the week cautious about the possibility of official yen purchases after a volatile session that sent the currency sharply higher on Friday and a weekend statement from Japan’s prime minister warning against speculative or abnormal market moves. Thin trade in the early Asian hours, compounded by an Australian holiday,…
Canada affirmed its adherence to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement commitment not to pursue free trade agreements with non-market economies, Prime Minister Mark Carney said in Ottawa. Responding to a U.S. threat of steep tariffs if Canada struck a deal with China, Carney said Canada has no intention of such an agreement, while noting recent…
Robotaxi headlines have pressured sentiment around Uber, but the economics point to a slower, multi-player rollout where demand aggregation, pricing, and marketplace liquidity still matter. With shares around $82 and technicals washed out, this sets up a mid-term long trade toward a reclaim of key moving averages, with clearly defined risk below re…
A federal judge in Boston has issued a preliminary injunction blocking the Department of Homeland Security from terminating humanitarian parole that allowed over 8,400 family members of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents from seven Latin American countries to live in the United States while awaiting immigrant visas.

Israeli strikes in northern Gaza and Gaza City wounded and killed civilians on Sunday, local health officials said, while U.S. envoys continued diplomatic engagement aimed at advancing a phased Gaza arrangement. The incidents underscore persistent insecurity following the October 7, 2023 attack that triggered the war and a ceasefire framework whose…
Abbott just printed a painful post-earnings air pocket and tagged a fresh 52-week low near $105.78. The selloff looks more like a reset of expectations than a permanent impairment: ABT still carries strong profitability (ROE ~27%), low leverage (debt-to-equity ~0.25), and meaningful free cash flow (~$6.9B). With RSI deeply oversold (~16) and heavy …

Energy and precious metals futures also moved higher, while local FX pa…

He highlighted ongoing supply-chain issues, problems with engine deliveries, a major November software recall and the need for s…
LLY sold off after an FDA timing delay for its oral GLP-1, and the tape is now treating that as a bigger competitive loss to Novo than it likely is. With the stock sitting near its 10- and 50-day averages and momentum washed out, the setup favors a defined-risk long trade into a potential sentiment rebound and upcoming catalyst window.
CBL has slipped from its recent high and is now trading below short-term moving averages with a subdued RSI. For a mall REIT with a single-digit P/E, mid-single digit dividend yield, and meaningful free cash flow, that pullback looks more like a reset than a breakdown. This is a mid term trade idea built around mean reversion back toward the 20-day…
President Trump filed a $5 billion lawsuit accusing JPMorgan Chase and CEO Jamie Dimon of closing accounts for political reasons, marking an escalation in his confrontations with major banks. The action comes alongside proposals to cap credit card interest rates, an administration push to favor fintech and crypto competitors, and a simultaneous reg…
Satellogic just printed a new 52-week high on heavy volume, and the tape is finally paying attention to its low-cost Earth observation pitch. Even after the spike, the market cap sits around $710M, while the company is pointing toward higher-resolution NextGen satellites and distribution partnerships that can widen demand. This is a momentum-plus-c…
NeoGenomics sits in a sweet spot of cancer testing: it is big enough to be embedded across community oncology workflows, but still small enough that sentiment can swing fast. With shares around $12.82, improving trend signals (RSI 56, price above key moving averages) and meaningful short interest (about 7.9M shares, ~4.9 days to cover), NEO looks s…
Hims & Hers (HIMS) has gone from market darling to market punching bag in less than a year, sliding from a $72.98 high to the high $20s. But the selloff is starting to look more like a reset than a terminal breakdown: RSI is oversold-ish (34.6), price is extended below key moving averages, and short interest remains heavy (67.1M shares as of 12/31/…
Natural gas prices in the United States rose sharply this week as an intensifying Arctic cold front moved toward large swaths of the country.
