Opening Recap
Market Pulse: Tech and crypto slid as AI-driven hype failed to deliver across U.S. earnings, shaking confidence just before the open. Bitcoin slid over 2%, pushing its monthly skid past 10%.
Key Movers: SpaceX insiders are again fueling IPO fever with an $800 billion valuation tease, per The Wall Street Journal. Silver’s rally, backed by industrial demand and ETF inflows, faces simmering valuation concerns flagged by Axis Mutual Fund.
Macro & Politics: U.S. authorities detained an oil tanker off Venezuela just before a warrant expired, underscoring how sanctions-driven flashpoints can rattle energy markets. Shipping rates and refinery runs could curve sharply if tensions escalate.
What’s Next: Expect headline-driven swings in crypto, metals and energy; lean into sectors with clear fundamentals and keep your watchlist tight for sudden opportunity.
Market Commentary
Everyone’s so fixated on AI earnings and crypto roller-coasters that they’re missing a creeping liability in big pharma. “Jury orders Johnson & Johnson to pay $40 million to two women in latest talc trial” isn’t a one-off verdict—it’s a goddamn reminder that legacy lawsuits can still blow holes through defensive balance sheets.
Meanwhile, the contrast between the SpaceX IPO buzz and a seized Venezuelan tanker highlights two extremes: one driving speculative euphoria in tech floats and the other underlining raw geopolitical risk in energy. When Wall Street chases rocket-stock valuations, it better keep one eye on shipping lanes, or the ride could get ugly.
Bottom line: volatility is the name of the game. Rotate into industrial names and select EM plays—like the surge for CRH in Ireland—instead of gambling on headline hype. Your edge comes from balance sheets, not buzz.
