🧭 Assessment

SpaceX surged 29% on day one with record-breaking $350B+ demand, establishing a new valuation anchor for the space sector — but closed-end funds holding SpaceX shares dropped 6-7%, as markets reprice the primary-to-secondary market spread.

Trump’s Iran rhetoric reversed sharply — from “war is over” to “terms have nothing to do with the agreement” — increasing rather than diminishing geopolitical uncertainty.

Oil rebounded nearly $4 from its intraday low of 83.82 to 87.60, suggesting the Hormuz Strait risk premium remains underpriced by the market. Supply disruption tail risks are far from resolved.

US Treasury yields hitting intraday highs alongside imminent Michigan inflation expectations data could reinforce the hawkish FOMC narrative for next week, with gold at 4186 facing a critical test.

Adobe’s 8% plunge to a 7-year low may signal a broader market reassessment of traditional software companies in the AI era, with tech sector divergence likely to intensify.
