📈 Futures rise as tech gets a temporary tariff reprieve
U.S. stock futures climbed Monday as investors digested mixed signals from the Trump administration on China tariffs. S&P 500 futures rose 1.4%, with Nasdaq up 1.8%, and the Dow gaining 0.8%, driven by a short-lived reprieve for tech giants like Apple and Nvidia after a temporary tariff exclusion on electronics.

But the calm didn’t last, Commerce officials and Trump himself backtracked, hinting that the entire electronics supply chain could soon face new levies. Markets now brace for another week of tariff-induced whiplash.

🤔 Here's Where Forecasters See Stocks Ending the Year
Wall Street’s confidence is slipping. Over half of major market forecasters have cut their S&P 500 outlooks, rattled by the ongoing tariff chaos. The gap between the most bullish and bearish year-end targets has widened sharply, reflecting deep uncertainty.

💰️ How Normal People Created a Net Worth of Over $500,000
You don’t need a six-figure salary to build wealth. Financial experts like Tenerelli and Harrison say it’s more about smart investing, tax strategy, and living within your means. One big mistake? Waiting too long to invest. Many delay until debts are gone, but time in the market beats timing the market.

Harrison suggests starting with protection: insure what matters, then grab the “easy pick-ups”, like maxing employer benefits, switching to biweekly mortgage payments, and cutting bank fees.

🇺🇸 Global investors don't trust the U.S.
Global investors just got a wake up call. For decades, U.S. Treasury bonds and the dollar were go-to safe havens, not anymore. In a historic week, both sold off alongside stocks, flipping the script on crisis playbooks from 2008 and 2020.

The 10-year yield surged from under 4% to 4.57%, while the dollar index dropped 3.4% in days, massive by currency standards. Analysts warn: Confidence in the U.S.-led financial order is cracking, and the world may be moving faster toward de-dollarization than anyone expected.

📆 What To Expect in the Markets This Week
Earnings season heats up this week with big names across banking, tech, and health care set to report, including Goldman Sachs, Netflix, and UnitedHealth. Markets are still reeling from last week’s tariff-fueled volatility, and fresh data on retail sales and housing could add more fuel to the fire.
