Good morning, traders! ☕🦀🇺🇸
Tuesday, June 30, 2026 Pre-Market Overview — closing out Q2 and the first half of the year on a constructive note.
Futures Snapshot (≈ 6:30–7:00 AM ET)
•S&P 500 futures ($ES): ~7,505–7,507 +0.08% to +0.09%
•Nasdaq 100 futures ($NQ): ~30,095–30,110 +0.16% to +0.19%
•Dow futures ($YM): ~52,613–52,621 +0.09%
Modest green bias expected at the open. Nasdaq continues to lead as AI/mega-cap tech momentum carries into quarter-end. Dow recently closed above 52,000 for the first time.
European Markets (early session)
Risk-on tone across the board:
•DAX: +1.35%
•FTSE 100: +0.87%
•CAC 40: +0.49%
•Broader EuroStoxx also higher
Key Drivers
Geopolitics & Oil — Positive carryover from U.S.-Iran de-escalation/stand-down developments. Reduced tensions around the Strait of Hormuz have eased the geopolitical risk premium. Oil prices have pulled back meaningfully on the news flow.
AI/Tech Leadership — Nasdaq on track for one of its strongest quarters in years. Chipmakers and AI-related names remain the primary market leaders despite some Mag 7 rotation chatter.
Quarter/Half-Year Close — S&P 500 eyeing its best quarterly performance in six years. Wall Street wrapping up a strong H1 with momentum intact into the holiday-shortened week.
Commodities
•WTI Crude ($CL / $USO): ~$70.70–$70.80 (down sharply month-to-date on de-escalation)44
•Gold: ~$4,027–$4,042 (modestly higher)
•Silver: +~0.9–1.15%
Today’s Economic Calendar (ET)
•9:00 AM — S&P Case-Shiller Home Price Index (April)
•9:45 AM — Chicago Business Barometer / PMI (June)
•10:00 AM — Consumer Confidence (June)
•10:00 AM — JOLTS Job Openings (May)
No major inflation or employment prints today — focus is on housing, sentiment, and labor demand signals ahead of Thursday’s June jobs report. Thin holiday-week volume expected into Friday.
Bottom Line
Constructive pre-market with geopolitical relief and AI leadership providing the main tailwinds. Modest gains across the board, Europe leading the risk-on move, and oil remaining under pressure. Data today is secondary but still worth watching for any surprises.
Have a great trading day and strong finish to Q2! 💪

Pre-Market Overview – Monday, June 29, 2026 (as of ~7:45 AM ET)
Futures Snapshot
Positive open expected with clear tech leadership:
•Dow Jones Futures ($DJI): ~52,456 | +247 pts | +0.47%
•S&P 500 Futures ($ES / $SPX): ~7,465 | +64 pts | +0.85%
•Nasdaq 100 Futures ($NQ / $NDX): ~29,715 | +347 pts | +1.18%
Risk-on tone into the 9:30 AM ET cash open. Nasdaq leading suggests growth/tech appetite is back in focus after recent action.
Key Drivers & Themes
•AI Infrastructure + Space Momentum: High-growth tech and space names in focus premarket. $RKLB (Rocket Lab) active on space/defense interest and NASA-related developments. Broader rotation into AI infra plays ($NVDA, $SMCI noted in momentum scans).
•Big Corporate Catalyst: $CMCSA (Comcast) surging sharply (reports of +20%+ moves) after announcing plans to spin off media and tech businesses into separate public companies. Major restructuring news driving attention.
•Geopolitics & Energy: WTI crude $69.95, up ~+1%. Modest gains amid ongoing Middle East developments and reports of potential peace talk progress. Lower energy prices generally supportive. Gold softer ($4,047, -1.2%).
•Calendar: Very light — no major US economic data today. Focus on stock-specific catalysts, technical levels, and sector flows. (Busier week ahead with jobs data and other releases.)
European markets mostly flat to slightly softer (FTSE -0.3%, DAX near flat).
Overall Sentiment
Constructive bias to start the week. Traders appear to be rotating back into momentum/growth areas (AI infra, space, high-growth tech) with Nasdaq strength. Bargain hunting or follow-through after any weekend consolidation. Lighter calendar puts the emphasis on individual names and technical setups.
What to Watch at the Open:
•Follow-through volume in Nasdaq/tech — especially $RKLB and AI-related names.
•How the Comcast spin-off news trades post-open.
•Any rotation or profit-taking in recent leaders.
•Microcap participation — broader risk appetite looks supportive if the tape holds.
Good setup for a bullish-leaning morning tone in your updates. Key cashtags to track: $ES $NQ $RKLB $NVDA $SMCI $CMCSA $CL.
Oil holding in the $69–70 zone remains a net positive for risk assets. Quiet data day should let stock-specific stories drive action.
Trade safe out there.

The Path To A September Rate Cut (Despite AI Inflation)
A lot has changed in the past 24 hours. After Thursday’s CNBC interview, it seemed obvious (to me) that I needed to write about how there is a real path to a Fed Rate Cut in September. Not only has the market priced in a 75% chance of a hike in September, and 1.25 hikes by the December meeting, most have also taken any chance of a cut off the table. I think that is missing the path that I believe Warsh is trying to create. We argued last weekend, The Fed and Rates, that Warsh had curtailed the tail risk on the long end of the curve. We switched from bearish to neutral on the long end of the curve (10s went from 4.46% to 4.37% this week). The more we think about it, the more we believe that he has started us on a path, that despite his hawkish rhetoric, sets up for a cut in September to be followed by another cut in October, just ahead of the midterms.
Two things occurred, making me rethink today’s topic: Iran and doubts about the AI trade.

Good morning ☕🦀🇺🇸 Happy Saturday!
US stock index futures are trading modestly lower in pre-market/after-hours activity ahead of the next trading session (Monday, June 30, given the weekend).
Key Futures Levels (as of recent data)
•Dow Jones Futures: Around 52,161 (down ~0.3–0.34% or ~48–178 points from prior close).
•S&P 500 Futures: Around 7,397 (down ~0.06–0.49%).
•Nasdaq-100 Futures: Around 29,283 (down ~0.29–1.6%, showing more pronounced weakness in tech).
Recent close (Friday, June 26): Markets ended mixed to lower, with tech under pressure extending a tough week. The Dow showed relative resilience, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq posted weekly losses amid ongoing AI/tech rotation concerns, chip stock weakness, and broader sentiment.46
Broader Context
•Tech/AI focus: Continued selling in semiconductors and big tech names weighed on the Nasdaq. Recent earnings (e.g., Micron strength offset by others) and AI-related developments (including SpaceX/Nasdaq-100 news) have driven volatility.
•Rotation: Some strength in small-caps (Russell 2000) and non-tech sectors (financials, defensives) as investors rotate amid uncertainty.
•Global/Other: European markets were soft; Asian indices mixed-to-lower. Commodities saw oil lower and gold firmer.
•Sentiment: “Extreme fear” noted in some gauges, with focus on macro (Fed, inflation, geopolitics like Iran/Hormuz developments) and corporate news.19
Pre-market movers often include earnings reactions, news catalysts, or low-volume volatility in individual names (e.g., small-caps or biotech gappers). Check real-time sources like CNBC, CNN, or Barchart for the latest specific stocks.
Note: Weekend futures activity is thinner with lower liquidity. The implied open can shift with new data/news. Markets are closed Saturday/Sunday. Always verify live data, as this is a snapshot. For trading, consider wider spreads and risks in pre-market hours.

Good morning ☕🦀🇺🇸
Pre-market overview for June 26, 2026 (as of ~7 AM ET):
US stock futures are pointing to a lower open, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq under the most pressure amid ongoing weakness in chip and AI-related stocks.
Major Index Futures
•Dow Jones Futures: ~52,275–52,283 (down ~0.12% or ~60–64 points).

Previous close (June 25): Dow +0.14%, S&P 500 flat to -0.01%, Nasdaq -0.46%.
Key Themes Driving Pre-Market
•Tech/Chip Selloff Continuation: After a brief Micron-led rally (strong earnings), the sector is resuming declines. Concerns include AI momentum cooling, valuation resets, and broader tech weakness. Stocks like $NVDA, $INTC, and others are seeing pre-market pressure.
•Economic Data: Hotter-than-expected PCE inflation readings and mixed signals on Fed policy (hawkish undertones) are weighing on sentiment.
•Global Markets: Mixed-to-lower session. Asia saw notable declines (e.g., Nikkei -4.15%), while some European indices are also soft.
•Commodities: Oil down sharply (~3%) on geopolitical developments (potential Iran-related flows). Gold holding firm/up modestly.
Pre-Market Movers (Highlights)
Gainers (volatile/small-caps often dominate early): $ILLR (Triller), various low-float names, utilities like $ATO, and some defensives.
Losers/Active: $MU (down after recent move), $NVDA, $INTC, and other semis/tech names.
What to Watch Today
•Economic Releases (8:30 AM ET): International Trade in Goods, Wholesale/Retail Inventories.
•Consumer Sentiment (10 AM ET).
•Earnings and any Fed/ geopolitical updates could shift momentum quickly.
Overall Sentiment: Cautious with a risk-off tilt in growth/tech stocks. The Dow is relatively resilient compared to Nasdaq. Markets remain volatile amid inflation, policy, and sector rotation concerns. Futures can swing significantly before the 9:30 AM open.

Pre-Market Stock Overview – Thursday, June 25, 2026 (as of ~8:20–8:35 AM ET)
Futures Snapshot
Futures are pointing to a positive open, led aggressively by tech:
•Dow Jones Mini Futures: ~52,325 (+46 pts / +0.09%)
•S&P 500 Mini Futures: ~7,474.75 (+46.5 pts / +0.63%)
•Nasdaq 100 Mini Futures: ~30,131.5 (+617 pts / +2.09%)
Implied opens suggest further upside at the bell, especially for the Nasdaq.24
Key Driver: Micron (MU) Blowout Earnings
Micron crushed Q3 FY2026 results (reported after yesterday’s close), triggering the big Nasdaq surge:
•Revenue: ~$41.46B (massive beat vs. ~$35.6–35.8B estimates; enormous YoY growth)
•EPS: $25.11 vs. ~$20.20 consensus
•Driven by AI memory demand — high-bandwidth memory (HBM) sold out through 2026, record gross margins near 85%, and huge cloud/data center sales
MU stock ripped 15–17%+ in after-hours yesterday. The momentum is lifting the entire chip/memory/AI complex today and easing recent AI investment jitters. IBM is also seeing strength on its own AI chip news.
Economic Data Watch (Releases at 8:30 AM ET)
This is the big focus for the rest of the session:
•Core PCE & Headline PCE (May) — Fed’s preferred inflation gauge
•Initial Jobless Claims
•Personal Income & Spending (May)
•GDP Final revision (Q1)
PCE is the main event. Cooler-than-expected prints would likely support risk assets and rate-cut hopes; hotter prints could spark selling.
Commodities & Other Notes
•WTI Crude (Aug ’26): Trading ~$69.50–$69.80 (down ~0.8–1.2% today). Recently pressured into the $69.40 area. Geopolitical headline risk remains (Iran warnings on Strait of Hormuz transit), but prices are reflecting softer near-term dynamics.
•Broader tone: Risk-on bias into the open on the AI/tech relief rally. Some retail/meme flow noted in names like Wendy’s (WEN). Lower oil is being watched as a potential new disinflationary factor for the Fed.
Bottom line: Strong pre-market bid led by Nasdaq/tech on MU’s monster print. Direction after the open will likely hinge on the PCE data at 8:30 AM ET. Classic “earnings-driven relief + data-dependent” setup.

$AABB Asia Broadband Opens Guadalajara Office to Strengthen Operations Near Its Etzatlán Gold and Silver Processing Plant
LAS VEGAS, June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asia Broadband Inc. (OTC: AABB) (“AABB” or the "Company”) is pleased to announce the opening of the Company's new offices in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. This move is designed to strengthen the Company’s regional operations presence in Mexico, as AABB moves forward in implementing strategic growth initiatives.
The decision to open offices in Guadalajara stems primarily from the strategic location of the Company's Etzatlán gold and silver processing plant, as well as the significance of Guadalajara as a major commercial, financial, administrative, and logistics hub in Mexico. The new office will act as a regional support center for the Company's Mexican operations, enabling the Company to coordinate efforts and communications between management, plant operation, suppliers, technical services, advisors, and business partners.
AABB feels that having an office in Guadalajara will be of great benefit as the Company advances its Etzatlán processing plant initiatives and infrastructure development.

US Stock Market Today – Wednesday, June 24, 2026 (Pre-Market)
Markets are pointing to a higher open after Tuesday’s sharp tech-led selloff.
Yesterday’s Close (June 23)
•Dow Jones: 51,666.84 (-0.09%)
•S&P 500: 7,365.46 (-1.44%)
•Nasdaq Composite: 25,587.04 (-2.21%)
The Nasdaq and S&P 500 took the brunt of the damage as AI/semiconductor stocks sold off hard globally. Asia (especially Korean chip names) led the decline, with profit-taking in high-valuation AI names, concerns over massive capex spending, and some hawkish rate commentary adding pressure.
Pre-Market Futures (as of ~8:10 AM ET)
•Dow Futures: ~52,121 (+0.08–0.10%)
•S&P 500 Futures: ~7,460 (+~0.30%)
•Nasdaq 100 Futures: ~29,841 (+~0.60%)
Tech is attempting a rebound, with Nasdaq futures leading. The bounce is modest so far — more relief than conviction.
Key Drivers Today
•Micron $MU earnings after the close — This is the main event. MU dropped ~13% yesterday and is a key bellwether for AI memory demand (HBM/DRAM). The stock has been one of the biggest winners this year. Wall Street will scrutinize guidance on pricing, supply tightness, and data center demand. Expect big moves in semis and AI-related names post-print.
•Profit-taking in the broader AI complex after a massive run-up (some headlines referencing “Big Tech’s $2.7 trillion AI bill coming due”).
•Supportive macro comments from Treasury Secretary Bessent on GDP growth potential and AI-driven productivity.
•Commodities: Oil softer (~$71, down 3%), gold pulling back ($4,055, down ~2.3%). VIX easing to ~18.8 but still elevated.
Bottom line: Cautious rebound vibe in pre-market, but the real test for the AI/memory trade comes after hours with Micron. Semis and high-valuation tech names will likely dominate the reaction.
Good morning ☕️🦀🇺🇸
Pre-market overview for Tuesday, June 23, 2026 (as of ~11:00 AM UTC / early morning ET).912
Major US Index Futures
US stock futures are pointing to a lower open, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq leading the declines amid a continued sell-off in chip/semiconductor stocks and broader AI-related names.
•Dow Jones Futures: Around 51,837–51,844, down ~0.5% (–275 to –282 points).
•S&P 500 Futures: Around 7,433–7,435, down ~1.4% (–106 to –109 points).
•Nasdaq-100 Futures: Around 29,795–29,803, down sharply ~2.8% (–850+ points).
Previous close (June 22): Dow +0.29%, S&P 500 –0.37%, Nasdaq –1.32%.
The Nasdaq is under the most pressure due to weakness in memory chipmakers and AI trade skepticism.
Key Themes Driving Pre-Market
•Tech/Chip Sell-Off: Global chip stocks are weak, with memory names (e.g., Micron/MU down significantly in pre-market) leading the rout. This is weighing on broader AI sentiment. South Korea’s Kospi fell ~10% in the session, highlighting regional tech pressure.
•SpaceX $SPCX: Continued volatility post-IPO/debut; trading lower in pre-market after recent sharp moves.
•Broader Context: Geopolitical easing around Iran (peace deal signals) is providing some offset, but not enough to counter tech weakness. A stronger dollar and potential Fed rate concerns are also in focus.
Pre-Market Movers (Highlights)
Gainers (volatile small-caps often dominate):
•Examples include $ORIS (+27%+), $AIXI (+50%+ range), and others with news-driven or low-float moves.
Losers/Active:
•Memory/chip-related: MU, INTC, NVDA, SMCI showing notable declines or pressure.
•High volume in names like SPCX, tech ETFs (e.g., bearish SOXS active).
Other Markets
•Commodities: Oil relatively flat (WTI ~$73.80), Gold down ~1.5%, Silver weaker.
•Europe/Asia: Mixed-to-lower; European indices down modestly, Asia led by heavy Korea tech losses.
•Bonds/Currencies: Treasury yields mixed; USD firmer.
•Economic Data Today: PMI Flash (Composite, Manufacturing, Services) at 9:45 AM ET; Richmond Fed Manufacturing at 10:00 AM ET.
Bottom line: Expect a soft open with tech leading downside. Watch chip/AI names closely for continuation, alongside any reaction to PMI data. Pre-market volume can be thin and volatile, so futures may shift as the regular session approaches (9:30 AM ET). Markets remain sensitive to AI trade rotation and macro signals.

Good morning ☕️🦀🇺🇸
Stock Market Outlook: Week of June 22–26, 2026
Markets enter the week on a constructive note after a volatile but ultimately positive close to the prior (holiday-shortened) week. The S&P 500 closed Thursday, June 18 at 7,500.58 (+1.08%), recovering from post-FOMC weakness.
The index has shown resilience with YTD gains around 9–10% amid AI-driven enthusiasm, even as it digests earlier highs near 7,620. The Nasdaq and Russell 2000 have also participated in recent bounces, with improving breadth noted in some sessions.
Key Economic Calendar (US Focus, ET)
The week is relatively light on data, which generally reduces headline risk—except for Thursday’s inflation read.
•Monday, June 22: No major data. Fed Governor Christopher Waller speech (policy/economic outlook—Waller has recently leaned hawkish, discussing removal of easing bias and openness to hikes if inflation persists). Treasury bill auctions.
•Tuesday, June 23: S&P Global flash Manufacturing PMI and Services PMI (June).
•Wednesday, June 24: New Home Sales (May); Leading Economic Indicators (May).
•Thursday, June 25 (highlight day): Core PCE (Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, May—expected ~0.2% m/m); Final Q1 GDP revisions; Durable Goods Orders (May); Weekly Jobless Claims.
•Friday, June 26: Lighter slate (possible advance indicators).
Main Drivers & Themes
Supportive factors:
•Geopolitical de-escalation: US-Iran ceasefire/MOU developments and reduced Strait of Hormuz risks have eased energy disruption fears. WTI crude has stabilized around $76–77.50, a welcome retreat from higher tension-driven levels.
•AI/capex momentum: Hyperscalers continue heavy spending; broader earnings resilience supports growth narratives.
•Light calendar + risk-on sentiment: Post-ceasefire bounce and lower oil are tailwinds for equities.
Key risks/watchpoints:
•Inflation & Fed path: May CPI printed hot at 4.2% (highest in 3 years). Thursday’s Core PCE (~3.3% y/y recently) is critical. In-line or cooler prints could support rate-cut hopes or at least pause pricing; hotter readings risk reinforcing hawkish Fed signals and higher yields.
•Fed speak: Waller’s Monday comments could move markets if they echo recent hawkish tones (possible rate hikes later in 2026).
•Yields & technical digestion: 10-year Treasury yield hovers around 4.45–4.49%; 2-year near 4.18%. Elevated yields pressure growth multiples. S&P 500 shows short-term digestion (lower highs in June) with support near the 50-day MA (~7,315–7,400 zone) and resistance toward 7,600+.
•Seasonality & concentration: June is often a mean-reverting month. Mega-cap tech leadership remains dominant but volatile; upcoming large IPO activity (e.g., SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic unlocks) could add supply pressure later in H2.
Weekly Scenarios
Base case (moderately bullish bias): Choppy trading with an upward tilt if PMIs are solid and PCE comes in as expected or softer. S&P eyes a retest of recent highs near 7,600. Small-caps (Russell) could see rotation flows if risk appetite broadens and rate concerns ease.
Bull case: Benign inflation data + dovish-leaning Fed speak → lower yields, risk-on rally, outperformance in small/mid-caps and cyclicals.
Bear case: Hotter PCE or hawkish Waller comments → yield spike, growth/tech sell-off, and consolidation or shallow pullback toward 7,350–7,400 support.
Sector & Style Notes
•Tech/AI: Resilient core driver but prone to volatility (e.g., post-earnings reactions).
•Energy: Mixed—lower oil helps broader market but pressures the sector directly.
•Small-caps / Value: Potential relative strength if breadth improves and macro data cooperates (user-relevant given micro-cap focus).
•Defensive / Quality: May act as ballast amid data sensitivity.
