BREAKING NEWS

🇺🇸 U.S.–China Trade Talks: Markets Smell a Deal

Stocks ticked higher Monday as U.S. and Chinese officials held marathon trade talks in London. On the table? Critical mineral exports and handshake-level diplomacy.

💡 Why traders care:

  • Semis popped as the market priced in lower tariff risk.

  • U.S.-China peace = bullish for supply chains, chipmakers, and Apple’s supply lines (yes, even if Apple just announced another boring OS redesign).

  • Risk-on vibes lifted large caps and commodities alike.

👀 What to watch:

  • Talks resume Tuesday. If there's an actual breakthrough, expect a rotation into China-linked names, semis, and industrials.

  • If talks fall apart? Get ready to short the optimism out of the S&P faster than my confidence during earnings season.

🪙 Silver Hits a 13-Year High

Silver hit $36.6/oz — its highest level since 2011 — and traders are acting like it’s the GameStop squeeze all over again.

💥 What happened:

  • Metal markets are catching fire. Some say it’s due to inflation hedging. Others say it’s Musk's next battery idea. We say: just ride the momentum.

📈 Why it matters:

  • Silver is the risk-on cousin of gold. It spikes when inflation jitters + industrial demand heat up.

  • A surge here usually drags up mining stocks, precious metal ETFs, and TikTok trading advice that definitely should not be followed.

📊 What to watch:

  • $36.6 is a key resistance. Break it and silver could test $40.

  • Keep an eye on gold/silver ratio — narrowing = risk-on.

  • If Powell sneezes about inflation, silver might moon again.

👶 Trump Wants to Buy $SPY for Babies

Trump is proposing “Trump Accounts” — a $1,000 investment into the stock market for every American baby born between 2025–2029.

Yes, really. Your newborn might be long $SPY before they’re out of diapers.

📜 The plan:

  • $1K from the government + optional $5K/year from family/friends.

  • Funds are invested in the stock market.

  • Kids get access to half at 18, full at 25.

🧠 Why traders care:

  • If passed, it’s bullish for the S&P 500 (even if junior can’t spell ‘dividend’).

  • Promotes long-term buying pressure.

  • Could lead to a generational wave of equity holders (translation: more bagholders by 2035).

🎯 What to watch:

  • Senate still needs to approve the plan.

  • If passed, expect a media blitz and speculative inflows into $SPY (and maybe $VTI).

If babies are about to out-invest you… it might be time to step up your game.

CRYPTO

 🟠 Bitcoin Bounces Back (Again)

Bitcoin is back.

After dipping below $101K last week, BTC has launched itself back above $110,000 like it forgot it was supposed to be in a bear market. That’s a +9% bounce fueled by big money, macro fears, and—of course—whales doing whale things.

Here’s why it ripped:

  •  ETF flows: Institutions are still YOLO-ing into Bitcoin ETFs. Billions flooded in during May/June.

  • 💼 Risk hedge: With Powell and tariffs stirring the pot, BTC looks tasty as a safe-haven play.

  • 🐋 Whales bought the dip: A classic “thank you for your liquidity” moment.

  • 📈 Broad market vibes: Stocks are strong, traders are feeling spicy, and the risk-on rally lives.

Bonus catalyst: SEC Chair Paul Atkins just publicly backed crypto self-custody, calling it “a foundational American value.” Somewhere, Satoshi just fist-pumped.

What to watch next:

  • ETF inflows 📊

  • Yields and CPI 📉

  • Elon’s next meme 🤡

Bitcoin’s back. Again. And if this keeps up, my wife might finally stop calling it “magic internet money.” Might.

MARKET OVERVIEW

🍿 Tasty Movers & Shakers

$AAPL ( ▲ 0.92% ) We called it. Apple’s WWDC was more snooze than news. Stock dipped after Tim Cook unveiled... a redesigned iPhone operating system called Liquid Glass. It’s the first refresh since 2013, which is coincidentally the last time anyone was excited about a new iOS.

$OPENAI ( 0.0% ) ChatGPT has officially hit beast mode. OpenAI just crossed $10 billion in annual recurring revenue—only 2.5 years after launch. That’s faster than my trading account hits zero on CPI days.

$QCOM ( ▲ 0.13% ) Qualcomm jumped 4% after announcing a $2.4B acquisition of Alphawave. Smart move. When in doubt, buy the chips. (Preferably before Nvidia does.)

$TSLA ( ▼ 0.71% ) Tesla spiked 5% after Trump said he’s keeping his gifted Tesla. No word on whether he actually knows how to charge it.

$HOOD ( ▲ 0.62% ) Robinhood tanked as much as 4% after traders realized it’s not getting added to the S&P 500. Hope you didn’t FOMO in early thinking it was the next Tesla.

$LULU ( ▼ 1.32% ) Lululemon’s still stretching—for a bottom. Stock’s down 20% in a week, and Morgan Stanley just cut its price target to $280. That’s a 6% upside from here… or what we call a rounding error.
