[+9] u/achay10: Wall Street traders have cooked up a new food-themed acronym for President **Donald Trump’s** Iran war deadlock – “NACHO” – as the Strait of Hormuz disruption drags on and keeps oil markets on edge.
The label has reportedly emerged in trading circles where skepticism of the president’s ability to reopen the strait, a key global energy trade route, is now such a trend that it merits its own code name.
Bloomberg columnist **Javier Blas** revealed “NACHO” on Wednesday, citing a trader who told him the acronym stands for: “Not A Chance Hormuz Opens.”

[+6] u/drew-gen-x: Universal Music Group said on Wednesday it would sell half of its equity stake in Spotify and double its share buyback programme, as it reported first-quarter revenue held back by a weaker U.S. dollar.

This appears to be a big FU response to Bill Ackman bid.
"The move comes three weeks after activist investor Bill Ackman made an unsolicited $64 billion bid for UMG, arguing the market was not fully valuing its 2.7-billion-euro Spotify stake
UMG's board has now moved independently, approving a sale on its own terms rather than returning the proceeds directly to shareholders, as Ackman had advocated.."
