🚢 Stock futures stall as focus tightens on Trump's trade deal progress
Wall Street’s hitting the brakes. On Wednesday, U.S. stock futures barely budged, each major index creeping up just 0.1%, as investors watched the calendar tick toward July 9, when Trump’s broad tariffs are set to kick back in. The focus now? Whether deals with the EU and Japan land in time. Trump’s message? ā€œTake it or leave it.ā€

šŸ”‹ Tesla drops as Elon & Trump start arguing again, what’s next?
Tesla’s moment of truth lands Wednesday morning. With Q2 production and delivery numbers on deck, traders are bracing for a 5% swing in either direction. Shares just dipped nearly 5%, sliding to $303, fueled by tension between Elon Musk and Trump over his ā€œOne Big Beautiful Bill.ā€, which Elon has once again criticized.

ā¬‡ļø Powell confirms that the Fed would have cut by now were it not for tariffs
Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank would’ve likely cut rates already, if not for Trump’s tariffs. Inflation projections jumped, forcing the Fed to hold steady since December. Powell added that any rate move now depends entirely on incoming data.

šŸ’µ Why is the US dollar falling by record levels in 2025?
The U.S. dollar just posted its worst start to a year since 1973, diving 10.8% in the first half of 2025. Global investors have soured on the greenback amid Trump’s economic moves and trade tensions. Even with a 90-day tariff pause, confidence hasn’t bounced back. The dollar’s ā€œsafe-havenā€ crown is now in question.

Invest & Strategies

😨 How to avoid FOMO
FOMO isn’t just about hype, it’s wired into us. We naturally follow people who seem like us, which is why investment trends spread fast. Marketers know this, flooding inboxes when gold or crypto surges. But just because it’s working for someone else doesn’t mean it’s right for you. Stick to your strategy if it fits your goals, you don’t need to chase every hot tip.

šŸ˜ļø How to Make Money in Real Estate
The real estate secret? Don’t sell. Ben Carlson shares that successful investors, especially baby boomers, tend to buy and hold, largely to avoid taxes. Two-thirds of boomers have stayed in their homes for 16+ years, sitting on $17 trillion in equity. With high transaction costs and low mortgage rates locked in, there’s little incentive to move. Long-term ownership wins in real estate.

šŸ“‰ What’s Better Than U.S. Bonds for Downside Protection?
For decades, U.S. Treasury bonds were seen as the safest bet in a volatile market, but that narrative’s shifting. After a brutal 30% drop in 2022 and a Moody’s credit downgrade, even seasoned investors are rethinking bonds as the go-to hedge. Are they still the best fallback, or is it time to diversify your downside protection?

šŸŽ Wednesday is last day to claim Apple Siri settlement money
July 2 is your last shot to claim part of Apple’s $95 million Siri privacy settlement. If you owned a Siri-enabled device between Sept. 2014 and Dec. 2024, you could get up to $20 per device, maxing out at five. That includes iPhones, iPads, Macs, and more.
