☕️ GM Munchers! The market ripped so much yesterday, my wife asked if she could take her dream trip to Australia. I had to lie to her and say that Warren Buffett was holding cash and that we should follow his lead. She said Warren Buffett has $397 billion and we are not Warren Buffett. She is extremely correct and I had no follow-up.

On today’s menu:

• 📈 The Market Just Ripped For 3 Reasons

• 🚀 Massive Day For Crypto

• 🚗 Nvidia & Ford Pump The Market

• 🥩 Ground Beef Just Hit $7 a Pound

• 🤯 He Used AI to Recover $400K of Bitcoin He Lost 11 Years Ago

Yesterday’s numbers:

BREAKING NEWS

📈 Three Things Sent The Market Ripping Yesterday. All Of Them Are Big.

Yesterday was a good day. New all-time highs, green across the board, and three genuine catalysts that actually justified a rally for once.

Here is what drove it:

• 🇺🇸🇨🇳 Trump and Xi agreed that the Strait of Hormuz should remain a free waterway and that Iran should not be able to impose payments on shipping traffic. Xi also told the room "we should be partners, not rivals." Whether that holds is another question. But those words coming from Xi publicly moved markets instantly. Tech, chips, and everything connected to global trade ripped hard.

• 🤖 The US approved sales of Nvidia's H200 AI chips to select Chinese firms. $NVDA jumped 4.36%. $AVGO gained 4.26%. Jensen Huang flying to Beijing as part of Trump's delegation was not a coincidence. It was a negotiating chip that just paid off.

• ₿ The CLARITY Act cleared the Senate Banking Committee in a 15-9 vote. $COIN ripped 9%. Bitcoin crossed $82,000. Crypto finally got its moment and the market priced it in fast.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both closed at fresh all-time highs. The Dow crossed 50,000. Seven weeks of straight gains. The rally that nobody believed in back in March has now added over $10 trillion in market cap.

The Munch Take: Yesterday had three legitimate reasons to rally and the market used all three of them. The Strait of Hormuz language from Xi is the most important. If China is publicly committed to keeping shipping lanes open, oil stays contained and the inflation picture gets a lot less scary. That changes the entire Fed narrative. Yesterday was a genuinely good day. Not every green day deserves that label. This one does.

🚀 Massive Day For Crypto. The CLARITY Act Just Cleared Its Biggest Hurdle.

It happened. The CLARITY Act cleared the Senate Banking Committee today in a 15-9 vote, the most significant step forward for crypto regulation in American history. Every Republican voted yes. Two Democrats crossed the aisle to make it bipartisan. Four months of delays, 100-plus amendments and a banking lobby revolt later. It’s finally moving.

The market responded instantly:

• ₿ Bitcoin surged above $82,000 on the news. The long-term thesis just got a major piece of institutional validation.

• 🪙 $COIN ripped 9% and led all crypto-related stocks higher. $MSTR Strategy climbed 8%. XRP jumped 4%. We bought Coinbase at $160. Today, it feels good to be patient.

• 📈 $CRCL Circle, which had been down 6% earlier in the session, reversed and closed green. The stablecoin compromise that unlocked this vote is already paying dividends.

What happens next? The House already passed its own version of the bill last year. The two versions now need to be reconciled before a final vote sends it to Trump's desk. The White House is targeting July 4th for Trump's signature, America's 250th birthday as the moment crypto gets its legal framework. The symbolism would be hard to beat.

The remaining hurdles are real. Democrats still have unresolved concerns around law enforcement and an ethics provision preventing government officials from profiting on crypto. Several senators voted yes today while explicitly reserving the right to vote no on the Senate floor if those issues are not addressed. This is not done. But yesterday was the biggest gate and it’s now open.

The Munch Take: Yesterday validated everything we have been saying about the crypto regulatory thesis. The CLARITY Act does not make Bitcoin go to $200,000 overnight. What it does is remove the single biggest institutional barrier to crypto adoption. When the rules are clear, the big money comes in. And when the big money comes in, everything already inside goes up. We are staying long $COIN and $BTC. The July 4th finish line is close enough to see now.

My notes on where AI money is going now (Via StocksEarning)

Even with the Fed holding rates steady, one trend has not cooled off: AI infrastructure spending. February inflation came in at 2.4% year over year, which keeps the market focused on quality growth, and that is where a lot of serious money is still flowing. See the full setup here.

The biggest winners in the next leg of AI may not be the household names everyone already owns. They may be the suppliers, enablers, and software businesses quietly benefiting while Wall Street keeps expanding AI budgets. Major tech firms are projected to spend roughly $635B to $665B on AI in 2026. Take a look at the 9 stocks here.

I just published a fresh report: Top 9 AI Stocks for This Month.

Inside, I break down a chip company linked to U.S. AI manufacturing, a cloud name with a stronger setup than most investors realize, and a data analytics player with potential upside from public-sector demand. Read the full report here.

If you want to study where AI capital could flow next instead of chasing yesterday’s move, you can review the list here.

MARKET OVERVIEW

🍿 Tasty Movers & Shakers

🤖 $NVDA advanced 4.39% after the US approved sales of its H200 AI chips to a select group of Chinese firms. The chip restrictions are loosening and Nvidia is the first one through the door.

🚗 $HMC Honda just reported its first annual loss since 1957. Not a typo. Since 1957. The Iran war, rising input costs, and a brutal EV transition have combined to end a 69-year winning streak. That is a staggering number to sit with.

🧊 $YETI gained 6.13% on an earnings beat driven by strong US demand for drinkware and coolers. Americans are still buying $40 tumblers in a rough economy. YETI has figured something out about brand loyalty that most companies can only dream about.

🎟️ $STUB StubHub ripped 13.7% after beating on both revenue and profitability and reaffirming its full-year guidance. People are still paying absurd amounts of money for concert and sports tickets. The live events business is completely recession-proof, apparently.

🔋 $F Ford rose 6.63% after Morgan Stanley called out its battery technology and energy storage business as a serious long-term competitive advantage. The market has been sleeping on this part of Ford. Morgan Stanley just set an alarm.

✈️ $BA Boeing dropped 4.73% after Trump's China visit produced a smaller aircraft order than Wall Street was hoping for. The deal exists. It is just not big enough. Investors wanted a feast and got a snack.

🍔 $JACK Jack in the Box cratered 14.15% after missing on both revenue and earnings. When you miss on everything in this market, the stock pays double.

CHART OF THE DAY

🥩 Ground Beef Just Hit $7 a Pound. This Is Terrible News For Gym Bros Everywhere.

Protein is getting expensive. Average ground beef prices broke $7 a pound for the first time in history, while steak surged past $13 a pound. Ground beef has gone up 77% since 2020, when it cost $3.89. That is not inflation. That’s a completely different product at this point.

Here is why it happened:

• The US cattle herd is at a 75-year low. Persistent drought, high feed costs, and rising production expenses have wiped out millions of animals.

• Import restrictions on Mexican livestock and a 76% tariff on Brazilian beef have cut off the two biggest alternative sources simultaneously. Less supply. Same demand. Classic recipe for a price explosion.

Will it come down? Not soon.

The Farm Bureau says cattle numbers will not recover until at least 2028. The USDA is projecting another 10% price increase in 2026. The Justice Department just opened an antitrust investigation into major beef producers for potential price fixing. Even if they find something, investigations take years.

Can traders take advantage? Sort of.

Cattle futures trade on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange under the ticker $LE for live cattle and $GF for feeder cattle. Both have ripped. Shares of $TSN Tyson Foods have also caught a bid as higher beef prices mean fatter margins for the processors. You don’t need to become a rancher. You just need to own the people selling to the rancher.

The Munch Take: $7 ground beef is the clearest sign that inflation is not just a headline number. It is showing up in the most basic item in the American grocery cart. The gym bros are quietly switching to chicken. The steak guys are switching to ground beef. The ground beef guys are switching to eggs. And the egg guys are in full crisis mode because eggs are also expensive. My wife came home from the grocery store last week and handed me the receipt without saying a word. That was the most effective inflation briefing I have ever received.
