Ai is an awesome tool, but you still need an experienced steady hand on the tiller. Over 20 years of institutional level trading background in the quant world.
Risk assets roared back today in a textbook buy-the-FOMC-dip reversal, with mega-cap tech driving the rally and the Nasdaq leading the majors after yesterday's hawkish Warsh debut crushed the tape. The trigger was twofold: a sweeping US–Iran peace deal collapsing the war premium in crude, and a sharp re-rating in the AI complex as Nvidia, Broadcom, AMD, and the chip cohort caught aggressive dip-buying into next week's NVDA AGM and Micron earnings. Breadth flipped — Technology and Consumer Discretionary led while Energy and Financials lagged on the crude collapse and curve flattening. Gold got taken behind the shed as the Iran de-escalation unwound the safe-haven bid and the dollar firmed on the hawkish dot-plot. Volatility melted as the post-Fed fear trade unwound in a single session, and the Russell joined the rally even with September hike odds now elevated — a tape that wants to discount the hawkish Fed shift in favor of an AI capex super-cycle and a Middle East peace dividend.
Fluor (FLR) is a sneaky nuclear renaissance play. The 100-yr-old engineering giant is also the largest shareholder in NuScale (SMR). With Trump targeting 400 GW of US nuclear by 2050, FLR sits on a $25.5B backlog and $2.7B net-cash (≈38% of mcap). Worth a look 👇https://t.co/5qAGDE4twg
Arista Networks (ANET) is the cleanest pure-play on AI data-center networking — they build the high-speed Ethernet switches that wire hyperscaler GPU clusters together. Just raised the 2026 AI target to $3.5B (doubles YoY) and FY26 guide to $11.5B. 15 of 15 analysts Strong Buy. Worth a look 👇https://t.co/X07vv6XQ2G
Breadth came roaring back today as a blowout JOLTS print confirmed labor demand is reaccelerating, giving the cyclical and small-cap trade fresh legs after yesterday's narrow defensive tape. The Russell led the majors and eight of ten S&P sectors finished green, with Utilities, Tech, Materials, Energy, and Industrials all out in front — a classic risk-on combination of growth, cyclicals, and yield plays moving together. Hormuz tensions kept a bid under crude for a second day even as the broader tape shrugged off the geopolitical overhang, and copper extended its run on the back of the strongest manufacturing momentum in four years. Q1 earnings season is closing with blended growth crushing prior expectations and AI semis catching another bid into Broadcom's capstone print Thursday. Volatility leaked back lower, the curve steepened on labor strength, and Health Care alone was the meaningful drag — a tape that wants to push higher into a hot macro week.
Fluence ($FLNC) builds the giant battery packs that store power for the grid — and now AI data centers. Just signed 2 hyperscaler deals (1st of 26 vendors qualified), backlog hit a record $5.6B, and analyst price targets are racing to catch up. Worth a look 👇https://t.co/FHJxb4jvH6
May ISM Manufacturing ripped to 54.0 — a four-year high and the 5th straight month of expansion. Consensus was 53.0. The internals were even better than the print.
New Orders 56.8 (+2.7). Backlogs 52.2, fifth month growing. New Export Orders flipped back to expansion at 50.6. Production 54.3. 16 of 18 industries grew.
The warts: Employment still contracting at 48.6 (32 straight months, but up 2.2). Prices Paid 82.1 — cooled but still scorching, 43 commodities up, ZERO down.
Computer & Electronics led every dimension. Panelists explicitly cited "data center creation" driving prices — AI capex cycle confirmed at the goods level. Wood Products the only outright contractor.
Biggest tell for June: does Employment finally cross 50? That separates a true cycle from inventory restock + Iran-driven front-loading.
Full breakdown below.
