Trump claims Iran deal progress but a nuclear inspection row threatens the truce. Vance says the foundation’s solid.
FDX tops Q4, a freight bellwether flashing resilience in a wobbly tape.
NVDA stalled at $200, dragging AMD and semis lower. GROQ grabs $650M to challenge Nvidia’s grip.
Real yields grinding to 2.21%, financial conditions still loose (-0.52). Bessent bets on GDP boom—Kalshi traders strongly disagree.
This week’s a tug-of-war: peace deal hopes vs. a fragile tech trade. Watch NVDA’s $200 line and any Iran headline for the next leg.
