Dividend seekers gravitated toward utilities, consumer staples, and financials: stable, mature businesses that reliably returned cash to shareholders. Tech stocks, meanwhile, were the domain of growth chasers willing to forgo income in exchange for capital appreciation. But the AI revolution is scrambling that conventional wisdom.

After weeks of urging Iran to make a deal, Donald Trump on Monday posted a video from Fox News host Mark Levin, making the case that negotiating with Iran was now pointless.The clip spoke to the US president’s growing frustration that his barrage of threats had so far failed to bring any real concessions from the Islamic Republic.

Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you are likely aware that the “Rotation Trade” has been the toast of the town this year. Apparently the powers that be decided that the stock market was going to look a lot different in 2026 than it has over the last several years.

The Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Friday, but the trade tax turmoil is far from over. Fallout over the ruling is already threatening to further strain global trade relations, and the U.S. economy is likely to suffer, economists told CNBC. In 6-3 decision, the high court ruled that President Trump did not have the legal authority to implement his sweeping tariffs imposed last April under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA. Trump later leveled new tariffs up to 15% effective immediately on an array of U.S. trading partners, further escalating global trade tensions. European…

XRP, Solana, and Chainlink recorded small inflows, but these were insufficient to offset broader, persistent altcoin outflows. Investor appetite for digital asset funds remains muted after $288 million in weekly outflows. This is the fifth week in a row of redemptions, which propelled aggregate withdrawals to $4 billion, still trailing the $6 billion logged last year. Market participation has thinned significantly, as ETP trading slid to $17 billion, the weakest level since July 2025, amidst signs of disengagement among institutions and retail allocators alike globally this quarter.
