Trade Ideas

Oil supply tightens in June.
Every energy expert expects tightening of oil supplies in June as long as the Strait of Hormuz is effectively shut, which will push oil prices higher. The U.S. extending a Russian oil waiver (not Iranian) does not fully offset this supply constraint.
Jensen Huang CEO, NVIDIA 21:09
China chip demand is incredible.
Demand for NVIDIA chips in China is incredibly strong, and he expects the Chinese market to eventually open up for imports of AI chips, which is bullish for NVIDIA's sales prospects. He believes the Chinese government will allow more AI capacity over time.
