Today (Here’s 3 things you need to know)  

  1. Trumps Winning Treasury Pick

The stock market got a nice little boost today, and it seems Trump’s Treasury pick is behind the upbeat mood.

Enter Scott Bessent, hedge fund guru and founder of Key Square Group, who's being hailed as the economic equivalent of a safety net. A former George Soros protégé, he’s got a deep understanding of the markets, especially bonds, and is ready to help America grow its way out of debt. Talk about a money makeover!

Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index took a bit of a dive, dropping nearly 1%. Treasury yields weren’t in the best of moods either—10-year yields slid 11 basis points to 4.30%, and the 2-year yields dipped six points to 4.31%. Looks like Bessent’s appointment has the market hitting refresh!

  1. The 2 Hottest Stocks Get Upgrades

Wall Street’s darlings, Nvidia and Palantir, had a day of mixed fortunes, proving even stars can shine differently.

Nvidia hit a patch of black ice, sliding nearly 3% despite a bullish nod from Rosenblatt, which reaffirmed its buy rating and hyped the upcoming Blackwell AI chip.

Yet, the stock stumbled below its 140.76 consolidation entry, according to MarketSurge. Still, Nvidia’s long-term swagger remains intact.

Meanwhile, Palantir was the life of the party. It jumped more than 2% after Bank of America not only repeated its buy rating but also jacked up its price target from $55 to $75.

The AI powerhouse is making waves with its knack for "digitizing enterprises," pushing it 42% above its 50-day line. Looks like Palantir’s stock is living its best tech-bro life!

  1. Zoom Set to Zoom Higher?

Zoom (NASDAQ: ZM) is stepping into the earnings spotlight today, and here’s what the buzz is about.

Last quarter, Zoom didn’t just meet expectations—it out-Zoomed them, with a 1.1% revenue beat, bringing in $1.16 billion, up 2.1% year-over-year.

It crushed analyst estimates for billings and EBITDA, and added 50 big-spending enterprise clients (those paying over $100K annually), reaching a total of 3,933. Talk about leveling up your contacts list!

This quarter, the crystal ball says more steady growth, with analysts forecasting revenue to climb 2.4% year-over-year to $1.16 billion and adjusted earnings dialing in at $1.31 per share.

The big question: Will Zoom keep the party going, or will the market hit “leave meeting”? Grab the popcorn; it’s about to get interesting!
