Good Morning Investors,
Markets closed with a jolt of optimism as small-caps staged a strong comeback. Russell 2000 climbed 1.4%, powered by momentum from the US-Japan trade agreement that’s reigniting investor confidence.
Biotech stocks surged, with the NASDAQ Biotech Index jumping 1.9%, while energy and semiconductors gained 1.5% and 1.3% respectively. GoPro drew fresh attention with a volume spike ahead of its Q2 earnings webcast, and Safety Shot soared 30% after locking in a $16.3M capital raise. With Powell’s future under scrutiny, tariff talks stirring in Canada, and a potential market rotation looming, investors have plenty to navigate as we close out the week.
