📈 What’s Moving Markets Today?
🔥 Futures Perk Up on Trade Hopes (Yes, Again)
Markets woke up feeling... cautiously optimistic. U.S. stock futures are ticking higher this morning, with the Dow up 0.5%, S&P 500 gaining 0.6%, and the Nasdaq 100 advancing 0.7%. Why the lift? Two words: trade talks.
📌 Key Points:
The U.S. and China are finally planning to talk again. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and top Chinese trade official He Lifeng will meet this weekend in Switzerland. Reuters has the scoop.
Beijing says it’s “re-engaging,” but don’t expect them to roll over. The Chinese side warned it "will never agree to a deal" if it's just a smokescreen for pressure and coercion.
This meeting could be the start of cooler heads prevailing, or another diplomatic flameout. Either way, Wall Street’s betting on progress.
Private Markets Aren’t Just for the 1% Anymore.
Institutions invest billions into private markets because they may provide superior market positions and steady cash flow, even in a shaky market–now you can too.

🏦 Fed Holds, Powell in the Spotlight
Let’s be real: The Fed isn’t doing anything today. No rate hikes, no cuts. But what it says could shift markets big-time.
📌 What to Watch:
The Fed is expected to leave rates unchanged, but Chair Powell’s press conference could drop hints about the rest of the year.
There’s a weird tug-of-war going on: Trump wants lower rates (again), but the Fed’s sticking to its “wait-and-see” mantra.
Inflation data is messy, the labor market is strong, and GDP is... meh. So Powell has a tough job threading this needle.
Watch for any commentary on Fed independence,a subtle shot at Trump wouldn’t be a shock.
⚙️ AMD's Outlook Surprises... But Watch the Fine Print
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) dropped some revenue guidance yesterday,and Wall Street actually liked it. The stock edged up in after-hours trading. But under the surface, there’s a bit of a storm brewing.
📌 Highlights:
AMD’s Q2 guidance beat expectations, likely because customers are rushing to buy ahead of new U.S. chip export rules.
CEO Lisa Su admitted the company will take a $1.5 billion hit this year from those export curbs,ouch.
The biggest damage will hit in Q2 and Q3. But on the bright side, Su expects double-digit growth in AI data center revenue.
✨ Gold Slips as Risk Appetite Rises
Gold’s recent shine is starting to dull, at least for now. The news of U.S.–China talks (aka less global chaos) gave traders the green light to jump back into riskier assets.
📌 Market Moves:
Spot gold fell 1.3%, dipping to $3,386.97/oz. Gold futures also slid 0.8%.
Investors are rotating out of safety and into risk,thanks, trade optimism.
Meanwhile, oil prices popped, helped by a surprise 4.5 million barrel draw in U.S. crude stocks. Demand might not be dead after all.
🎢 The Takeaway: Chips, Central Banks, and China,Oh My
Today’s market mood? Guarded optimism with a twist of geopolitical anxiety. You've got bullish AMD bulls, a hawk-eyed Fed, and a potentially high-stakes U.S.–China sitdown on the books.
🍸 My Two Cents:
If Powell plays it straight, markets will breathe easy. If he dodges questions, buckle up.
AMD’s chip optimism is real, but don’t ignore the looming China export headache.
Trade talks always sound good,until they don’t. Keep an eye on headlines out of Switzerland this weekend.
Stay ahead, stay informed, and most importantly, stay profitable.
‘til next time,
TradingLab
