📊 Insider Buying Spurs Biotech & REIT Momentum

Good Morning Investors,

Today's core small-cap indices were a mixed bag: Russell 2000 slid down by 0.2%, the S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index grew by 0.4%, and the tech-driven NASDAQ Composite escalated by an impressive 1.2%. Among the day's headlining stories was the Trump administration imposing additional tariffs on semiconductors and chips.

However, the semiconductor sector seems to remain upbeat, with the Dow Jones U.S. Semiconductors Index climbing 0.6%. From retail to healthcare to aerospace there's a profusion of exciting moves happening. With Firefly's expected Wall Street debut, small-cap space companies might just take off! But bear in mind, industries are adjusting their supply chains in anticipation of tariff pressures, increasing potential volatility in the retail sector. Let's get to the rest of the day's news and numbers.
