What’s Hot Today?
It was a choppy day for the markets! The Dow and S&P 500 both finished lower, while the Nasdaq just clocked its worst day since December. Volatility is back in the spotlight, thanks to geopolitical tensions, supply chain drama, and the big tariff ruling everyone’s still waiting on from the Supreme Court.
Market Highlights
No Supreme Court Tariff Decision: Investors are still on edge, waiting for a ruling that could reshape US-China trade. The uncertainty is weighing especially heavy on tech and manufacturing names.
China Bans US Cybersecurity Software: This move cranked up US-China tech tensions, sending cybersecurity stocks tumbling and putting even more pressure on global tech giants.
Silver Hits All-Time High: While equities wobbled, silver powered to a new record. Gold is holding strong as investors hunt for safety.
Corporate Corner
Investors are digesting a new round of earnings as companies drop hints about the year ahead—some optimism, lots of caution.
Big Picture
Geopolitics and lack of clarity from the Supreme Court are making for a classic risk-off week. Defensive plays (gold, silver) are back in vogue, and traders are watching Washington for the next headline.
