Good morning!

While you were sleeping, the prediction market whales were busy. Here's what the smart money is betting on, plus today's top bond picks across sports, finance, politics, and tech.

News Briefing

It was a bruising session for Wall Street yesterday, where the major indices tripped over a "mixed" bag of earnings from heavyweights like Bank of America and Wells Fargo.

While equities sulked, the paranoid and the prescient popped champagne as gold and silver blasted to fresh all-time highs of $4,650 and $93 respectively—apparently, apocalypse insurance is the new growth sector.

President Trump offered a brief respite for commuters by cooling his rhetoric on Iran, sending oil tumbling back to $60, though rumors he’s pivoting to eyeing Greenland (again) suggest the geopolitical risk premium isn't going anywhere.

Amidst the carnage, TSMC proved chips are the real safe haven by posting a massive 35% profit jump, and Bitcoin clawed its way back to $97,000.

Market of the Day

Market of the Day

The Bullish Sound of Silence: Yesterday’s silence from the Supreme Court was the most bullish signal the "Yes" side has seen in months, driving odds up to 33%. The logic is straightforward: a slam-dunk rejection of the tariffs would have been quick and unanimous.

The continued delay suggests the Justices are wrestling with a "messy" compromise—likely trying to find a way to rule against the President without forcing the Treasury to cough up $150 billion in retroactive refunds. In this market, "complexity" is a lifeline. If the Court stays quiet again on Friday, expect the odds to keep grinding higher as "legal reality" takes a backseat to "budgetary survival."
