@breaded_ Lock tf in

@breaded_ My bags go up only

Tuesday • Trump nuclear line: Trump says he will take whatever action is necessary if Iran breaks the interim deal, putting nuclear compliance above the economic fallout. • Inspection clash: Vance says Tehran agreed to bring IAEA inspectors back, while Iran says the technical round made no new monitoring commitments. • Muscat mechanism: Iran and Oman issued a joint maritime statement and launched a working group on Hormuz navigation, services and future operating costs. • Toll-free Hormuz window: Oman and Iran formally set commercial vessel transit through Hormuz at zero tolls during the 60-day implementation window, blocking hardliner pushes for unilateral passage fees. • Regional control test: the Muscat track shifts Hormuz from a US blockade problem into a direct Iran-Oman management fight. • Russia fuel escalation: Crimea’s civilian fuel restrictions deepen, while wider shortages and vehicle-sale limits spread across Russian regions. • Russia import turn: Moscow is now actively discussing fuel imports and subsidies to plug gasoline and diesel shortages, showing the domestic squeeze has moved from distribution stress into a structural supply emergency. • Russia market stress: the rouble and MOEX came under fresh pressure after Gazprom’s sub-100 rouble break, as fuel panic turns into a broader confidence problem. • UK transition: Labour opens leadership nominations July 9, aiming to install Starmer’s successor before parliament returns in September. • Burnham front-runner: Andy Burnham is now the clear early favourite, putting Britain’s G7 execution role into domestic transition mode. • Baltic escalation: German Eurofighters were scrambled to intercept two Russian Tu-142 maritime reconnaissance aircraft near critical undersea energy pipeline infrastructure by Denmark, opening a sharper Northern Europe energy-security front.

Wednesday • Qatar expansion: Qatar has now entered Muscat, with Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani pushing to widen the Iran-Oman mechanism into a broader Gulf-Iraq regional framework. • Insurance veto: despite the toll-free guarantee, commercial shipping is still gridlocked as insurers refuse to restore standard cover until Western navies verify Iranian sea-mine removal. • Abu Dhabi workaround: the UAE and Iran formalized an emergency maritime-clearing channel using Emirati dirhams (AED), letting regional shipping groups clear transactions through Abu Dhabi banks and bypass part of the Western dollar/SWIFT bottleneck. • Regional control test: Hormuz is no longer just a US blockade issue — it is turning into a direct Gulf-run execution fight over shipping, payments and legitimacy. • UN escalation: the US and E3 (UK, France, Germany) requested an emergency UN Security Council session to try to codify the IAEA inspection mandate into a binding UNSC resolution. • Russia funding crack: Moscow cancelled its weekly OFZ bond auction, citing elevated volatility and surging yields as market stress spreads beyond fuel into sovereign financing. • Kremlin damage control: Putin says Ukrainian strikes on oil and gas infrastructure are meant to destabilize society, while the Kremlin insists the rouble slide is no cause for concern. • Russia fuel stress: Crimea’s civilian fuel restrictions and broader shortages still show the squeeze has moved from distribution stress into a structural domestic emergency. • Yeysk strike: Ukraine hit the Yeysk Naval Air Station in Krasnodar Krai, reportedly destroying a warehouse with Shahed drones and grounding Russian patrol aircraft tied to southern maritime defense. • UK transition: Burnham’s path is getting cleaner after rivals backed away, putting him on track to potentially take Labour and Downing Street by July 17 if no challenger emerges.

Geopolitics breaks from Hormuz tanker warfare into a direct US-Iran strike cycle as Washington hits Qeshm/Sirik, Tehran retaliates. • US kinetic retaliation: after Trump called Iran’s drone strike on the commercial ship Ever Lovely a “foolish violation” of the ceasefire, the US launched a 90-minute air campaign. • Qeshm/Sirik strike package: six US aircraft hit four targets across Qeshm Island and the southern Iranian port of Sirik, targeting drone/missile storage facilities and coastal radar sites. • CENTCOM containment line: CENTCOM called it a “powerful response” to protect freedom of navigation, stressing it was a localized retaliatory action rather than a full restart of major combat operations. • IRGC retaliation: within hours, Iran’s IRGC announced immediate retaliatory strikes targeting regions where US forces are deployed in the Middle East. • MoU legal clash: the IRGC said the US strikes violated the standing MoU, arguing the deal gave Tehran control over maritime traffic inside the Strait of Hormuz. • Iran warning: Iranian state media warned any repeated Western aggression would be met with an even “more extensive” military response. • Israel exits MoU: Netanyahu declared Israel is “not a party” to the MoU and will treat the 60-day window as legally non-existent. • G7 AED sanctions trigger: Washington and G7 treasury officials finalized sanctions on any regional financial institution using the AED-clearing track if Iran slows or blocks newly deployed IAEA inspection teams through Muscat. • SCOTUS: the Court backed Trump’s restrictive border policy, allowing officials to turn back asylum seekers at the US-Mexico border without a hearing. • US legal shift: the Court also restricted thousands of Roundup cancer suits against Bayer/Monsanto. • US dollar carve-out: the Treasury granted Iran a 60-day sanctions exemption to sell crude oil and petrochemicals in US dollars. • Dollar contradiction: Washington is threatening secondary sanctions over the AED route and IAEA access. • UAE tanker defiance: regional maritime operators used the Abu Dhabi AED-clearing loop to greenlight transits, with at least two UAE-owned oil tankers attempting to cross Hormuz without Western mine-clearance verification. • Gulf drone counter-attack: a commercial oil tanker loading at a regional terminal was targeted and damaged by an explosive one-way drone in the Gulf of Oman. • Lebanon talks continue: despite Netanyahu’s hardline position, Lebanese and Israeli diplomats extended Washington negotiations into a fourth day. • Damascus escalation: Israeli precision missiles destroyed a suspected IRGC weapons-distribution hub outside Damascus. • Russia fuel blackout: Roskomnadzor issued an emergency decree banning domestic media from publishing retail fuel prices or filming gasoline queues after the MOEX selloff and cancelled OFZ auction. • Venezuela quake shock: 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes struck Venezuela, with rescue efforts complicated by the existing sanctions environment. • US TPS ruling: the Supreme Court cleared the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status, putting roughly 350K Haitians and 6K Syrians at risk of deportation. • Burnham security fast-track: Starmer requested an emergency Privy Council intelligence briefing to clear Burnham on sensitive G7 files and the UK-Japan Frontier Technology Partnership before Monday morning. The week’s real shift: Hormuz has now moved past workaround politics and into direct enforcement conflict. Before, the fight was over routes, insurance, sanctions channels and who gets to control transit on paper. Now the US has already used force to enforce its freedom-of-navigation line, and Iran has answered with retaliation while arguing the MoU gives Tehran legal control over maritime traffic in Hormuz. So the core question now is no longer just whether Hormuz is “open.” It is: Who actually enforces order there… Washington or Tehran?

Macro gets UMich relief, but trade weakness now meets fresh strikes & Hormuz supply risk. • US Trade -$105.8B vs -$85B; UMich 49.5 vs 48.9, 1Y/5Y infl 4.6%/3.3% • CA Sales -0.7% vs +0.6% • Tokyo CPI 1.7%; SG IP 13% vs 17% • IT Conf 92.4 vs 94.5; FR Jobs 3.116M vs 3.1M Next: • US Dallas, JP/ES Retail, CN IP Jun 29 • ES CPI, EU/UK M3, EU Conf Jun 29 Friday gave markets a cleaner consumer-confidence relief signal. UMich sentiment rose to 49.5 vs 48.9. Expectations jumped to 50.7 vs 49.3. And inflation expectations eased again: • 1Y 4.6% vs 4.8% prev. • 5Y 3.3% vs 3.4% expected. That is the first real counterweight to yesterday’s sticky-PCE problem. But the current picture was still weaker. Current conditions missed at 47.7 vs 48.4. So households are feeling better about where things could go… while still saying conditions right now are rough. The goods side was worse too. US trade deficit blew out to -$105.8B vs -$85B expected. Retail inventories ex autos slowed to +0.4%. Wholesale inventories only rose +0.3%, down from +0.7%. Canada wholesale sales also rolled from +0.6% to -0.7%. That is not a clean demand-reacceleration signal. Asia added another warning. Singapore IP missed hard: → 13% YoY vs 17% expected → -0.7% MoM vs +2% expected Tokyo inflation, meanwhile, firmed versus May. Core rose to 1.6% YoY from 1.3%. Headline accelerated to 1.7% from 1.4%. Global split is getting sharper: → US consumers are less pessimistic about the future → US goods and trade are deteriorating → Canada sales are rolling over → Singapore factory momentum is weakening fast → Tokyo inflation is moving higher closer to the target → Italy firms are stable, but consumers are softer → French jobseekers are rising again And this all lands into a far uglier geopolitical backdrop. UAE tanker route, AED clearing track, G7 secondary-sanctions threat and fresh tanker-drone risk are turning supply disruption back into a live inflation problem. So markets are now caught between two competing messages: → UMich says inflation fears are easing → Trade and production data say growth is getting softer → Hormuz says the supply-side risk can return at any moment Does next week turn into a relief trade on softer inflation expectations… or a growth-plus-supply scare as trade cracks and Hormuz risk keeps rebuilding?

@notanotherquant I am not ready for another week 🫠

@notanotherquant @finviz_com

Stocks dump as fresh Hormuz tanker strikes test truce, while G7 sanctions cloud AED workaround. • S&P 500 -0.05%, Nasdaq -1.33%, Dow -0.51% — on semis drag vs UMich relief • STOXX 50 -0.87% — on weak FR Jobs & IT Conf • Nikkei -2.24%, Hang Seng -0.66% — on SG IP miss Next: • US Dallas, JP/ES Retail, CN IP Jun 29 • ES CPI, EU/UK M3, EU Conf Jun 29 We got a hard split by the weekend. Semis got sold again, and even Micron fades prior ~20% gains amid earnings. $AVGO -3.7% $ARM -3.9% $NVDA -1.6% While Mag7 regained prior losses: Microsoft +5.7% Meta +6.3% Apple & Amazon +3% Healthcare also caught a major bid: $LLY +7.1% $JNJ +4% Market is still punishing the chip-and-infrastructure side of the AI buildout. But it is willing to own cash-rich platform names, defensives and healthcare when the macro/geo tape gets unstable. Meanwhile… Macro gave a little rate relief, but not enough to fix the broader setup. Consumers expect a little more improvement ahead. Yet the present economy still does not look comfortable. And then there is Hormuz. G7 AED-sanctions threat now hangs directly over the UAE payment workaround. At the same time, Washington’s temporary dollar carve-out for Iranian crude creates another channel for potential flow relief. • Brent $73 -2% • WTI $69.7 -1.7% Will US-Iran ceasefire survive this weekend?

@Cyrax_Labs @finviz_com Messy week ahead

@GreenMandMqq @finviz_com Absolute disaster…

Macro hardens on sticky PCE & Hormuz turns kinetic despite US GDP beat. • US: GDP +2.1% vs +1.6%; PCE +4.1%; Jobs 215K vs 225K; Goods -4.5% vs -5% • ES: GDP +2.7%; PPI +10.5% vs +8.3% • Conf: UK -54 vs -41; DE -29.2 vs -27.8; FR 84 vs 83 • HK Trade -$44.2B vs -$29.5B Next: • US Trade, UMich, CA Sales Jun 26 • TK CPI, SG IP, IT Conf, FR Jobs Jun 26 Thursday gave markets a more complicated US read. GDP was revised up hard: +2.1% vs +1.6% expected. But Atlanta GDPNow fell to 2.5% from 3%. So the backward-looking data improved while the live growth tracker softened. Inflation did not really bail out the rates trade either. Headline PCE held at 4.1% YoY. Core PCE stayed at 3.4%. Both were inline, but still too elevated to give markets a clean dovish signal. The stronger part was demand. Personal spending rose +0.7% vs +0.6%. Initial claims fell to 215K vs 225K expected. Core durables also jumped +1.3% vs +0.5%. That says the consumer and investment side still have life. But there are cracks underneath. Continuing claims rose to 1.821M. Durable goods were still down -4.5%. And Atlanta GDPNow slipping to 2.5% suggests the next-quarter pulse is not matching the backward GDP revision. Outside the US, Europe stayed mixed-to-soft. Spain held growth inline, but PPI jumped to +10.5% from +8.3%. France confidence improved to 84. Germany’s GfK worsened to -29.2. UK distributive trades collapsed to -54 vs -41. Australia was stronger: → Jobs +40.3K vs +31.2K → Unemployment held at 4.4% → Participation stayed high at 66.7% And Hong Kong trade stayed ugly, with the deficit widening to -$44.2B from -$29.5B. The geopolitical backdrop is now making this macro mix nastier. Hormuz has moved from a payment-and-insurance problem into a control fight: Iran rejected the UN sailor plan, a cargo vessel was reportedly struck near Oman, and Tehran warned against unauthorized alternative routes. That means sticky US inflation is now colliding with a Strait that is becoming physically harder to reopen. By the end of the day we have: → US GDP and spending still look resilient → PCE is not cooling enough for easy rate relief → Labour is holding, but continuing claims are rising → Europe remains fragile → Australia’s labour market re-accelerated → Hormuz risk is shifting from paper gridlock into kinetic supply risk Does Friday confirm that US demand is still strong enough to keep inflation sticky… just as Hormuz risk starts rebuilding the supply-side problem?

Stocks sunder as Iran rejects UN plan & oil surges, while US keeps rate pressure alive. • S&P 500 -0.01%, Nasdaq -0.92%, Dow +0.34% — on firm GDP/jobs vs megacap dump • STOXX 50 +1.04% — vs mixed UK/DE/FR Confidence • Nikkei +0.08%, Hang Seng -1.66% — on HK Trade miss Next: • US Trade, UMich, CA Sales Jun 26 • TK CPI, SG IP, IT Conf, FR Jobs Jun 26 S&P closed flat. But underneath it, the tape was brutal. Dow held green. Europe rallied. Oil, gold and silver caught a fresh bid. While the Nasdaq rolled lower again. Macro print did not give expensive growth much relief again. US GDP beat: • GDP +2.1% vs +1.6% • Initial Claims 215K vs 225K • Core Durable Goods +1.3% vs +0.5% • Personal Spending +0.7% vs +0.6% Inflation was not soft enough to fix the rates problem either: • PCE 4.1% YoY vs 4.1% • Core PCE 3.4% YoY/ +0.3% MoM, inline Yes, GDPNow slipped to 2.5% from 3%. And continuing claims rose to 1.821M vs 1.800M. But these is no “Fed rescue” setup. It is a slower-growth-at-the-margin setup with inflation still elevated. Then Hormuz flipped the commodity tape. Iran rejected the UN sailor plan. A cargo vessel was reportedly struck near Oman. The IRGC warned alternative routes would not be tolerated without Iranian approval. Oman and Qatar can build emergency bypasses. But they cannot solve the bigger fight: Who controls the waterway. That sent the physical-risk premium straight back into crude. And it left equities with the worst possible mix: → oil higher → inflation risk back → growth still firm enough to keep rates → mega-cap AI still getting sold The AI complex was not a broad rebound. $MU +15.7% amid strong earnings and $AMD +2.5% were the exceptions. The biggest names still got hit: $AAPL -6.1% $MSFT -3.5% $AMZN & $META -3.1% Market is now dividing into two completely different stories. Energy, metals, defensives and parts of financials are pricing geopolitical control risk. Megacap tech is still pricing the rate-and-capex problem. S&P being flat hides how ugly that split really was. Can UMich finally give tech rate relief?
