Tether has dismissed two senior precious-metals traders it hired from HSBC three months earlier, according to a person with direct knowledge.

The recent pullback and heavy shorting create an asymmetric trade: buy at $96.90 with a $130 target over a mid-term (45 trading days) horizon and a $80 stop. This trade banks on accelerating ARR, capacity-funded expansion, and a re-rating as profitability guidance arrives.

Klarna's pullback has turned it into a high-risk, high-reward dip-buy. The payments-to-lending hybrid trades at a price that suggests muted growth and continued loss absorption. If you believe management can stabilize credit losses and refocus the business on higher-margin product flows, the trade offers asymmetric upside. If not, the stock can sta…

PBF Energy (PBF) is a buy for a mid-term trade. Geopolitical disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz and record diesel/gasoline prices have pushed U.S. crack spreads to multi-year highs, and PBF's refining footprint, low valuation versus potential earnings, and recent technical momentum argue for a tactical long. Entry at current levels, tight stop, an…
