Foreign Cargo Ship Struck By 'Massive Projectile' Just Off Iraq A commercial cargo ship navigating the Arabian Gulf was struck by an unidentified projectile, triggering a "large explosion," according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO). The maritime strike took place approximately 65 nautical kilometers (40 miles) southeast of Umm Qasr, Iraq . At this time, the UKMTO noted that it is unaware of any environmental damage resulting from the blast. Source: UKMTO Initially Iraqi media reported the blast was due to "mechanical failure" - but soon after other regional media said it was the result of being hit by a "massive projectile" . "A cargo ship was hit by a massive projectile explosion off the coast of Umm Qasr in Iraq, according to Al Hadath , a Saudi-owned channel. According to another maritime industry source : Most of the attacks on commercial shipping in the Gulf region since the war in Iran started have been in and around the Strait of Hormuz , the Gulf of Oman, extending as far west as Bahrain and Qatar. Only one other attack reported off Iraq was on the Greek-owned chemical/product tanker Zefyros and the US-owned Safesea Vishnu on 12 March which left one seafarer dead. There have also been incidents off Kuwait with Suezmax tanker Sonangol Namibe anchored 30nm southeast of Mubarak Al Kabeer was hit with a large explosion on 5 March.

We are buying 50 shares of Johnson & Johnson at roughly $221.43. Following the trade, Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust will own 340 shares of JNJ, increasing its weighting to 1.9% from 1.62%. We're picking up shares of J & J here and lowering our average cost basis as healthcare and drug stocks move lower on Monday. The group came under pressure after oil prices surged and interest rates climbed in response to another potential setback in the U.S.-Iran peace deal negotiations. Healthcare is one of only two sectors in the market down for the year, alongside financials. Johnson & Johnson's stock has dipped about 3% since the beginning of May because healthcare has become completely unfavored in this AI-driven bull market. We'll take advantage of these negative group moves and continue to scale into this position gradually. The pharma and medical technology giant has a strong multiyear growth outlook, driven by the ramp up of several new drugs. The one we are most positive on is Icoytde, the recently approved oral IL-23 inhibitor to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. At the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting over the weekend, J & J provided several encouraging updates to its oncology portfolio, including positive data for Rybrevant for advanced head and neck cancer and Erleada in prostate cancer. Analysts at Leerink wrote Monday morning that both drugs could become the standard of care in the populations studied. (Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is long JNJ.

"Now Hiring" signage past recruiters as they speak to jobseekers during the WorkSource North Seattle Career Fair in Seattle, Washington, US, on Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2026. David Ryder | Bloomberg | Getty Images Traders on Kalshi expect that job creation in May will see a slowdown but still surpass Dow Jones consensus. Dow Jones estimates that May's nonfarm payrolls report — due Friday from the Bureau of Labor Statistics — will show a gain of 90,000 jobs. The consensus reflects an anticipated decline from April's recorded 115,000 nonfarm payrolls and March's 185,000, the highest this year has seen so far. Kalshi traders on Monday were assigning a 56% probability that the report would beat the Wall Street forecast. Odds that over 100,00 new jobs would be added jumped after April's job report was released and currently stand at 49%. Traders on Monday also put a 40% chance that new jobs will surpass 110,000. RBC Economics had a more hopeful outlook compared to Dow Jones. "We expect 99K jobs were added to payrolls with the unemployment rate holding steady at 4.3%," the firm reported last Friday. "So far in 2026, the labor market appears to be on solid footing. Still, on aggregate, new job creation has been quite limited with monthly payroll gains averaging 55K over the past six months." The job report is set to come out ahead of the Federal Reserve's first meeting with new Chair Kevin Warsh on June 16-17. Markets are expecting the Federal Open Market Committee to stay on hold at the meeting, though the jobs report could influence that decision. Dow Jones also expects hourly earnings to increase by 3.4% annually, a slight dip from last month's 3.6%. Economists also put average hourly earnings to increase by 0.3% month-over-month, slightly higher than last month's 0.2%.
