Daily Financial Update
Market Pulse: Markets shrugged off yesterday’s noise and edged higher, thanks to a late buying surge in tech and financials that set a positive tone before the bell.
Key Movers: Great Southern Bancorp kicked off Q2 with a reliable $1.72 EPS print, Union Bankshares declared its dividend on strong mid-year results, and Huntington (HOMB) underlined its consistency mantra—yield hunters are buzzing.
Macro & Politics: President Trump mused about firing Fed Chair Powell—unlikely to materialize but enough to rattle rates—and hinted at a Ukraine strategy pivot that’s got defense budgets on watch.
What’s Next: Earnings and dividend declarations dominate the calendar, so keep your watchlist handy and an eye on Powell whisper traffic into the open.
Market Commentary
Here’s what everyone’s missing: the froth under the hood in crypto open interest is screaming caution. “Bitcoin resistance at $120K normal due to ‘frothy’ open interest near all-time highs” (Cointelegraph) confirms that chasing the rally without hedges is a fast track to a gut punch. Stablecoin staking might not be sexy, but it’s a shock absorber when volatility hits.
You won’t hear this on CNBC, but the tech-policy tango is heating up. Nvidia’s Jensen Huang downplays his role in lifting the US chip ban in China (Financial Post), while the State Council’s anti-involution campaign targets EV makers (Forbes). It’s a two-front gamble: US tech supremacy versus China’s industrial push, and you can’t ignore the geopolitical lever when sizing your semis exposure.
Action time: lean into covered-call overlays on your dividend stalwarts like Great Southern Bancorp and HOMB while treading lightly on headline-driven small caps like Red Cat Holdings (ETF Daily News). And if you want a safer crypto foot in the door, stake USDT for daily income.
