Today's Thesis: Trump's Hormuz deadline expires tonight while 45-day ceasefire talks grind on, CPI lands tomorrow morning with the 10-year already above 4.55%, Warsh's first FOMC is seven days out, chip stocks staged a 10% rebound while Apple's AI relaunch fell flat, 900 vessels are jammed at Hormuz driving shipping costs higher, and SpaceX prices its $1.75 trillion IPO in three days — so your gas bill, your mortgage rate, your 401(k), and the price of everything that crosses an ocean are all waiting on what happens between now and Friday.

The REAL Reason Trump Is Invading Iran
Forget about Trump’s ties to Israel.
Forget about reports of Iran’s nuclear program.
Because my research has led me to believe we’re risking World War 3 with Iran for a completely different reason.
If you have even a single dollar invested in the U.S. stock market, this is going to directly impact you.

Trump's Hormuz deadline expires tonight — deal or "all hell"
|
|
Trump extended his deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by 20 hours on Monday, pushing it to Tuesday evening, and threatened to unleash "all hell" if the strait isn't reopened to all shipping traffic by then. Behind the scenes, Axios reported that the US, Iran, and regional mediators are working on the terms of a 45-day ceasefire that could lead to a permanent end to the war. Markets held up Monday — the S&P 500 gained 0.30% and the Nasdaq rose 0.86% — because the strikes over the weekend spared Iran's oil export infrastructure and there's been no full Hormuz blockade. But tonight's deadline is the binary event: a deal calms oil and yields, a collapse sends both sharply higher heading into CPI Wednesday and the FOMC next week.
|
|
The other side: Trump told Axios he's "very close to a final deal," and oil actually pulled back from 4% overnight gains to close up just 1% on Monday — the market is betting the deadline is a negotiating tactic, not a trigger.

CPI Wednesday · 10-yr 4.55% · FOMC 7 days

|
CPI drops tomorrow morning — and your mortgage rate is waiting on the number
|
|
The May CPI report lands Wednesday at 8:30, with the 10-year yield already sitting at 4.55% and the 30-year back above 5% after Friday's blowout payrolls. A hot number would cement the rate-hike case heading into Warsh's FOMC on June 16-17 and push mortgage rates higher during peak home-buying season. A cool one would be the first piece of good news for borrowers in two weeks. Fed Governor Schmid said Friday that inflation is "the biggest risk facing the economy" — so the bar for a dovish surprise is high.
|
|
The other side: Wage growth cooled to 3.4% in Friday's payrolls, and oil pulled back from $95 to $92 — both of which suggest core inflation might come in softer than the headline data would imply.

Micron +10% · Marvell joins S&P 500 · AAPL -1%

Chip stocks bounced 10% — and Apple's AI relaunch left Wall Street cold
|
|
Micron jumped 10% on Monday, clawing back most of Friday's 13% drop, and Nvidia and Broadcom also gained. Marvell and Flex were added to the S&P 500, replacing Campbell's and Pool Corp — Marvell rose 9% and is now up 210% year to date. Apple unveiled a revamped Siri and next-generation Apple Intelligence at WWDC in what was Tim Cook's last keynote as CEO — shares rose 3% during the presentation, then reversed to close down 1% as investors realized the new features won't ship until a beta this fall.
|
|
The other side: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called Friday's selloff a buying opportunity, and the 10% Micron bounce suggests the AI trade isn't dead — it just needed a shakeout after a two-month run.

900+ vessels jammed · Hormuz handles 20% of world oil

|
900 ships are jammed at Hormuz — and that means higher prices on everything that ships
|
|
More than 900 vessels moving through the Strait of Hormuz — which handles 20% of the world's daily crude — had their navigational signals disrupted by "extreme jamming" from the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas. The IMF's Kristalina Georgieva warned Monday that the world needs "resiliency to a new reality of rolling global shocks." Oil export infrastructure was spared in this round, but the shipping disruption adds cost to everything that crosses the strait.
|
|
The other side: Oil still closed near $92 on Monday — well below the $100 level it hit in March — and more ships are getting through than the jamming headlines suggest, which is why crude pulled back from overnight highs.

SpaceX prices its $1.75 trillion IPO in three days — into the worst week for it
|
|
SpaceX's IPO is still set for Friday at $135 a share with a $1.75 trillion valuation — the largest in US history. Retail investors can request shares through Robinhood and SoFi, but the listing arrives after the Nasdaq's worst day in a year, a war escalation, and a CPI report that could move yields sharply either way.
|
|
The other side: Institutional demand for SpaceX shares was strong through Thursday's roadshow, and a Hormuz deal or soft CPI by midweek could flip the mood entirely before Friday's open.
