Tariffs, Tech, and a Whole Lotta Nope

😎 Market Vibes

Markets are stumbling into Thursday like they forgot there was a quiz on tariffs, tech tension, and bond market mood swings. Rate-cut hopes just got a cold shower, macro feels messy, and traders are back to arguing over whether sideways is the new bull. Oh — and Bitcoin’s acting suspiciously stable. Weird flex, but okay.

⚖️ Tariffs vs Tech - Choose Your Fighter

• 📉 S&P 500 Flirts With Breakout Levels: The index opened at 5,892.58, stuck in no-man's land between breakout euphoria and a tariff-fueled rug pull. Bulls and bears both squinting at CPI tea leaves.

• 🏛️ Dow Stalls as Trade Fears Return: The Dow started at 41,405.48, weighed down by tariff jitters and China tension headlines. Defensive sectors are back in fashion - because vibes aren't.

• 💻 Nasdaq Sizzles Under Global Heat: Tech-heavy Nasdaq opened at 17,928.14, with semis and cloud stocks catching stray bullets from cross-border policy drama. This rally's sweating through its hoodie.

• ₿ Bitcoin Sideways but Stubborn: BTC held the $102K line, thanks to steady ETF inflows. It's not mooning, but it's not folding either - crypto's acting like the adult in the room for once.

• 💸 10-Year Yield Ticks Up to 4.54%: Bonds are back to being moody, climbing as inflation whisperers resurface. Rate-cut hopes just got iced... again.

💸 Trade Talk

Tariffs: The Gift That Keeps on Taking
Just when markets thought they had a handle on trade tensions, the U.S.-China tariff truce throws a curveball. Former Fed President Bill Dudley warns that this temporary relief might delay necessary rate cuts, potentially exacerbating economic woes. Investors, brace yourselves: the Fed's next move might be more reactive than proactive.

The #1 free indicator I’ve used for the last 30 years (no one else does)

In 2008, I went on CNBC and warned of a huge crash in the market. They laughed at me on live television. I told readers to get out of stocks in February 2020 before one of the fastest crashes in US history. Others still were skeptical. I'm not guessing when I make these calls. All you needed was one, FREE indicator. This indicator alerts me when I should buy and when to sell. My name's Scott Redler. I'm one of the most well known traders on Wall Street. Get the indicator...and the 23-page book I wrote for you FREE.

Saudi Arabia's AI Chip Bender
Saudi's throwing billions at silicon like it's Black Friday at a Best Buy. Their new AI unit, Humain (yes, with an "i"), plans to gobble up hundreds of thousands of Nvidia and AMD chips to juice 500 megawatts worth of AI data centers. Bonus: Super Micro locked a $20B deal to build out the infrastructure. Oil money is cool - but AI clout is hotter.

Macquarie Invents a Whole New Market... by Accident
Turns out Macquarie spent the last 14 years straight-up fabricating short interest data - not on purpose, just "oopsie code." Over 1.5 billion trades were wrongly reported, inflating short volumes by up to 50%. That's not a glitch... that's a whole simulation. SEC's mad, the stock dipped, and traders are wondering if anything they see is even real anymore.
