A White House Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy report contends that the perceived threat from Iran has imposed a persistent "terror premium" on global crude prices, inflating costs by an estimated $5 to $15 per barrel.

U.S. stock index futures moved higher on Monday, lifted by gains in large technology stocks including Meta and Nvidia, even as crude oil prices settled around $100 a barrel due to disruptions near the Strait of Hormuz.

Nebius shares surged and Nvidia also increased its strategic…
Nearly all economists polled expect the Swiss National Bank to leave its policy rate at 0% through 2026 and use foreign exchange interventions rather than negative interest rates to counter further appreciation of the Swiss franc, which has strengthened amid safe-haven flows since the onset of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

European authorities are expected to move first by cutting taxes on transport fuels in response to a recent spike in oil and short-dated gas prices. Citi Research economists say such steps would be the immediate fiscal response, with more expansive measures possible if elevated energy costs persist and household utility bills begin to rise sharply.
Federal Reserve officials convene amid rising oil prices and escalating hostilities involving Iran, a crisis that has temporarily sidelined roughly one-fifth of global oil flows. With inflation already about a percentage point above the Fed's 2% target and oil jumping nearly 50% in two weeks, officials must determine whether to maintain a tight sta…
AeroVironment has spent the last year building orders and capacity. Backlog north of $2.1B, a new manufacturing expansion and rising demand for counter-UAS and loitering munitions set up the company to convert orders into revenue. The setup is actionable: a long entry around $210 targets a move into the high-$200s if bookings translate to shipments…

This trade targets a rebound to $240 over…
Adobe beat Q1 with $6.4B in revenue and $6.06 in EPS, yet the stock plunged amid a CEO transition and risk-off positioning. Fundamentals and cash flow argue the drop overshoots the signal; technicals show an oversold setup.

Nu Holdings reported robust Q4 momentum (revenue +45%, net income +50%, ~131M customers) but shares sold off on expansion worries. We view accelerating consumer credit originations as a tangible earnings lever over the next 1-3 months. Combine a beaten-down technicals setup (RSI ~29) with manageable short interest and a reasonable entry at current …

U.S. futures rose Monday as investors assessed the persistence of the U.S.-Israeli assault on Iran, now entering its third week. The conflict has pushed oil prices higher and heightened inflation worries, while attention is also fixed on Nvidia's annual developer conference and a key Federal Reserve policy decision later this week. The confluence o…
Roku's recent margin expansion and move to positive net income, paired with $478m of free cash flow and a clean balance sheet, create a trade set-up where incremental advertising and distribution revenue can flow almost directly to the bottom line. At a market cap near $13.5B and P/S around 2.8, we think a long position captures an earnings-driven …
