Since last week: The market has rebounded amid the Strait of Hormuz opening but the ongoing war has consumer sentiment spiraling.
1. Lower Consumer Sentiment
Even as markets turn around, consumer sentiment is at the lowest level ever recorded. Things were already in motion, but the war in Iran has only accelerated it. With no clear path from leadership to course correct, this isn’t likely to change anytime soon. This has long-term implications on the economy and it’s up to you to build the kind of portfolio that can protect against what’s ahead. Click here to learn how you can do that.
2. Nvidia’s Rally
Nvidia has been rallying lately, several percentage points over consecutive days. It continues proving why it’s one of the world’s most valuable companies by being at the front of the AI boom. What many don’t know is that what comes next could be even bigger, and the company is already making a move to profit.

3. Gold Holds
Gold seems to have found a comfortable place to rest for now as its price holds steady around $4800 per ounce. Traders are watching to see if some sort of peace agreement can be reached in Iran, and once that becomes more clear one way or another, gold is poised to move again.

4. Nuclear in Space
With the Artemis II mission being deemed a success, the US is looking at what comes next. It wants to establish a permanent base on the moon and that’s going to need power. That’s why NASA, the Pentagon, and the Department of Energy are advancing nuclear-space technologies, including plans for a reactor on the Moon to power future missions. In order to move ahead in the next era of manned space exploration, nuclear power is an absolute necessity. That’s good news for uranium miners and anyone who invests in them.

What to Look For
Earnings season is near and tensions are easing somewhat, so traders will be watching to see if this trend holds.
