In this article @CL.1 Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT A sign displays the prices of unleaded, premium, and diesel gasoline at a Speedway gas station in Columbus, Ohio, US, on Monday, May 11, 2026. Brian Kaiser | Bloomberg | Getty Images President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans are proposing suspending the federal gas tax as prices at the pump continue to soar ahead of the 2026 midterm elections . Gasoline and oil prices have soared since the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran broke out over two months ago. Iran has largely brought the Strait of Hormuz, which normally carries a fifth of the world's oil, to a standstill since the first strikes began. Trump said in the Oval Office on Monday that he would "reduce" the tax, shortly after saying in an interview with CBS News that he wants to pause the tax "for a period of time." "I think it's a great idea," he said in the CBS interview. "Yup, we're going to take off the gas tax for a period of time, and when gas goes down, we'll let it phase back in." Trump cannot declare a gas tax holiday alone, since Congress has sole authority over taxation. But several Republican lawmakers on Monday floated suspending the gas tax, which clocks in at 18.4 cents per gallon, the same amount it's been since 1993. Federal gas taxes primarily pay for federal highway construction and maintenance and also fund some public transit.

Eka Jaya Permana/iStock via Getty Images I looked at iShares MSCI USA Equal Weighted ETF ( EUSA ) iShares MSCI USA Equal Weighted ETF ( EUSA ) 8 weeks ago and liked it enough to add to my 85-ETF ETF watchlist but rated it a Hold at the time. It has advanced slightly and still seems unique to me, and I am updating my perspective. What Makes EUSA Interesting Like Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF ( RSP ), which I upgraded from Hold to Buy recently, EUSA focuses on a strategy that I think is very timely: equal weighting rather than market-cap weighting. Again, the S&P 500 is quite concentrated. This was shrinking earlier in the year but has picked up. The Top 10 names currently represent 39.6% and include the Elite 8 (and Magnificent 7) plus one other name. EUSA holds each of these names, as does RSP, but the total is currently only 1.9%. The Top 10 in EUSA represent less than 4%. Readers can learn more about EUSA on the website that iShares hosts for it, and the Fact Sheet was updated as of the end of Q1. The ETF holds 537 stocks, with iShares pointing to a 3.4X price to book ratio and a trailing PE of 24.2X. It is measured relative to the MSCI USA Equal Weighted Index , while RSP is measured against the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index . The MSCI index is certainly different, but the two indices are remarkably similar. As of late April, the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index had an average market cap of $112.5 billion, while the MSCI index had an average market cap of $137 billion. The returns of the two indices have been fairly consistent. Through the end of April, the S&P 500 Equal Weight had a total return over the prior 10 years of 209.5%, while the MSCI index was at 197.7%. As of May 7th, the sector exposure of EUSA was quite different from the S&P 500: iShares While the breakdown is somewhat different from RSP, it is quite similar. Compared to the sectors of the S&P 500, the largest sector in EUSA, Technology at 20%, is way below the amount in SPY. currently near 37%. Other l...

Pongsak Sapakdee/iStock via Getty Images AI Trade Draws Attention: ARK Invest Bullish Rotation Toward Hypersclarers Cathie Wood’s high-profile ARK Disruptive Innovation ETFs are often seen as gauges for investor sentiment toward cutting-edge technologies across AI, robotics, biotech, and aerospace.

The fund also trimmed its position in AMD ( AMD ), which is up more than 300% in the past year, but remains a top five ARK holding. As I highlighted in an article last week, AMD soared another 38% after topping Q1 earnings and revenue. The piece also highlighted a top Strong Buy stock in the Alpha Picks portfolio , Micron Technology ( MU ), which is not included in Wood’s ARK funds.
