The IPO of the Century Is Coming: SpaceX Targets June 12 Listing — Which Stocks Could Benefit? SpaceX, Elon Musk's commercial space leader, has reportedly accelerated its IPO timetable. The company may file its prospectus as early as May 21, begin its global roadshow on June 4, and list on Nasdaq as early as June 12. The IPO could raise $80 billion or more, with a potential valuation of $1.75 trillion to $2 trillion, which would make it one of the largest IPOs in capital-market history. The proceeds are expected to support two strategic priorities: accelerating large-scale regular launches of the next-generation Starship program, and building a low-Earth-orbit space data-center network.

GLD Short Volume Doubles as Inflation Shock Revive January Flash Crash Concerns Short sellers significantly stepped up their bets against Gold ($SPDR Gold ETF(GLD)$ ) on Thursday, with short volume surging to 1.49 million shares — double the approximately 745,000 shares shorted the prior session. Three reasons stood out. As a pair of hotter-than-expected inflation prints last week forced a dramatic repricing of Fed expectations and raised an uncomfortable question: could gold be setting up for a repeat of its late-January flash crash? A one-two inflation punch. The bearish case crystallized last week when back-to-back inflation reports came in above estimates. CPI printed at 3.8%, edging past the 3.7% consensus
Nvidia Post-7-Day Streak: Chart Signals $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ 's breakout is arriving with unusual market heat behind it: the stock has risen for seven straight trading days, its market cap is approaching the $6 trillion mark, and it has gained about 18% since May, leading the Mag7. More importantly, the AI trade may be rotating back toward Nvidia after earlier strength in memory and CPU-related names, as investors refocus on the core AI infrastructure leader. Daily Chart: Breakout Confirmed, but Not an Early Entry The daily chart has shifted from recovery to right-side confirmation. NVDA has cleared its multi-month $165–200 base, turning the old resistance zone into a new support reference. Trend structure is s
Precious Metals Bloodbath: Gold, Silver Miners Crushed as Dollar and Yields Surge Against the backdrop of continued strength in U.S. economic data and a market rapidly repricing the Federal Reserve's rate-cut path, the precious metals sector suffered its most severe systemic selloff of 2026 on Friday. Spot gold plunged 6.38% while spot silver collapsed 8.45%, triggering a broad-based selloff across precious metals and mining stocks. At the same time, the U.S. dollar index and Treasury yields surged sharply, becoming the key drivers behind the collapse in bullish sentiment toward the sector. Data showed the ICE U.S. Dollar Index rose about 0.3% to around 99.17, while the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield briefly climbed to 4.54%, marking its highest level in nearly a year. For gold and silver, th
Microsoft Retail Traders Build Bullish Positions After Ackman Takes Stake $Microsoft(MSFT)$ is seeing retail traders build bullish option positions in the tech giant, betting they can profit from billionaire Bill Ackman's disclosure, which could trigger increased institutional buying of the stock that has trailed its Magnificent Seven peers this year.

Targeting $279: Can NVIDIA's Q1 Earnings Justify Wall Street's High Expectations? As $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ prepares to report its fiscal first-quarter 2027 results on May 20, 2026, Wall Street analysts maintain a nearly universal bullish stance.
