@frazfinance: 😱THIS IS CRAZY😱 More Information 👇 The S&P 500 rose 0.6% to a new all-time intraday high, with the Nasdaq adding 1.2%, while the Dow shed around 154 points. It’s a narrow rally though — just 143 S&P 500 holdings were actually advancing, with tech dominating while utilities led the losses. The headline macro story is inflation. CPI came in at 3.8% year-over-year in April, the highest in three years , and today’s PPI print also surpassed expectations, with wholesale prices rising beyond the forecast 0.5%. Two hotter-than-expected prints in two days has killed rate cut hopes and pressured rate-sensitive sectors like banking and retail. The Fed, interest rates, and the cost of living crisis are all back in focus. Fuelling the inflation is oil. WTI crude surged 4.2% to $102.18 per barrel after Trump declared Iran’s ceasefire demands “unacceptable” and called the truce “on massive life support.” Shell’s CEO warned the Iran War may have already removed a billion barrels from global supply, with shortages potentially ahead. Geopolitics, war, oil prices, and your wallet are all connected right now. Tech and AI are carrying the market regardless. Nvidia rose over 2%, Micron gained over 3%, and the semiconductor ETF SMH advanced 2%. The biggest story is the Cerebras Systems IPO — the AI chipmaker is pricing tonight and listing on Nasdaq tomorrow as CBRS, targeting $150–$160 per share for a near $50 billion valuation, with the deal 20 times oversubscribed. This is the hottest IPO of 2026, riding the AI boom, the investing frenzy, and the wealth building conversation that is dominating fintech and stockmarket TikTok right now. On the losing side, Palantir dropped 4.31% despite strong earnings, hit by valuation concerns and $435 million in insider selling. JPMorgan and Home Depot also fell as inflation fears bit into economically sensitive stocks. The bottom line is a tale of two markets — AI and semiconductors printing money while everything else struggles under the weight of sticky inflation, $100 oil, and a Middle East conflict with no end in sight. Passive investing, index funds, and long term wealth building are being tested, but the stock market, trading, financial freedom, and the road to financial independence remain the dominant conversation. Whether you are a beginner investor, day trading, or building generational wealth, today’s market is one you need to understand. #stockmark#stockmarketg#investingi#irani#china​#ai​​​​​​​
