Good MorningThe tape staged a decisive comeback Tuesday after war jitters sent markets lower Monday, as Iranian missile strikes failed to escalate into a full assault on energy infrastructure. Oil, volatility, and Treasury yields all pulled back in tandem, with tech claiming leadership and the S&P 500 closing at a fresh all-time high.
Oil's retreat offered relief, but the macro picture remains complicated. The JOLTS report reflected a robust labor market, and strong ISM data with surging prices reinforced hawkish Fed arguments, keeping rate-cut hopes sidelined. With the FOMC next meeting in June, futures traders are pricing no change to the current target rate, but the path to cuts keeps narrowing.
Micron surged on AI-driven demand for high-bandwidth memory, with HBM products reportedly sold out through 2026. Intel jumped on reports of a potential Apple processor partnership. Palantir slid despite record revenue, reflecting the overhang that elevated multiples create even when earnings quality impresses. PayPal fell after downbeat guidance overshadowed a solid beat, a reminder that forward outlook is driving positioning more than results. Tyson Foods jumped on strong margins. The market is digesting AMD's after-hours report and awaiting Friday's April jobs number for the next read on whether the Fed's hold becomes a hike. Featured: A 25,000% opportunity (Ad)
