LD Wells Fargo is maintaining its forecast for two Federal Reserve interest rate cuts in 2026, even after recent inflation data came in hotter than expected and raised fresh concerns about the path of consumer prices. The bank said elevated inflation tied to geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing conflict involving Iran, is likely to keep Federal Reserve policymakers cautious in the near term and reinforce a “wait-and-see” stance on monetary policy. Recent Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index reports both exceeded economists’ expectations, fueling speculation that the Fed could delay easing measures. Despite those inflationary pressures, Wells Fargo believes underlying weakness in the labor market will ultimately push the central bank toward additional policy support later this year. While labor conditions have shown some signs of stabilization, the firm said risks remain tilted toward slower economic momentum and softer employment trends. As a result, Wells Fargo continues to project a total of 50 basis points in rate reductions during 2026. The bank currently expects the Fed to deliver two 25-basis-point cuts at its October and December Federal Open Market Committee meetings, a slightly later timeline than previously anticipated, it noted.

Elon Musk and Sam Altman had very different experiences while testifying at a trial that will determine OpenAI's future , including who runs it, where its research funding comes from, and who can profit from its boldest new technologies. Musk—who filed the lawsuit alleging that OpenAI under its current leadership has abandoned its nonprofit mission to build AI that benefits humanity and instead serves to enrich people like Altman— spent three grueling days on the stand . At times, he lost his temper, as OpenAI's lawyer, William Savitt, tried to poke holes in Musk's claims that OpenAI executives teamed up with Microsoft to "steal a charity" after duping Musk into donating $38 million in early funding. On Tuesday, Altman did not face such a grilling from Musk's lawyer, Steven Molo. Instead, Altman appeared jittery at first but steeled his nerves rather quickly. He hopped off the stand after about four hours of rather calmly discussing evidence that he's hoping shows that Musk's claims about OpenAI's for-profit restructuring are disingenuous. Since Musk filed the lawsuit, Altman has insisted that Musk is only after revenge, supposedly stemming from his jealousy that he was not picked as OpenAI's CEO and that his rival company, xAI, now lags behind.

US President Donald Trump speaks to members of the media on the South Lawn of the White House before boarding Marine One in Washington, DC, US, on Tuesday, May 12, 2026. Bonnie Cash | Bloomberg | Getty Images Prediction market traders think President Donald Trump will make some major announcements in his trip to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. Traders on Kalshi give an 86% chance that he will announce China will buy aircraft from domestic manufacturer Boeing . That belief is shared with Wall Street, as Boeing's stock advanced nearly 2% on Wednesday ahead of the meeting. "The speculation is that Trump wants this to be the largest order ever announced, which could mean a Boeing purchase commitment in the triple-digit billions," wrote Tobin Marcus, head of U.S. politics and policy at Wolfe Research, in a note. "Investors will need to await clarification from the company about how 'real' those numbers are and what specific airframes are included." Traders are also placing more than 81% odds that Trump will announce an extension of the U.S.-China tariff truce . In their October deal, China agreed to pause export controls on rare earths while the U.S. cut tariffs on the country related to fentanyl to 10% from 20%. Barclays predicted that tariff might move a few percentage points lower if China purchases aircraft, as well as American oil and soybeans. While Kalshi traders see a 79% chance a soybean purchase is announced, oil purchases have a much lower probability at just 24%. Traders also think there's a 69% chance a U.S.-China Board of Trade is announced. This is a key goal of U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, Wolfe's Marcus noted. "We suspect that this will be done primarily through ongoing purchase commitments, with the Board of Trade eliciting a centralized answer from the CCP about what China will buy from the US to mitigate their bilateral trade surplus," he wrote. Trump told reporters on Tuesday as he departed for the trip that while he e...

A quick glimpse at the sector ETFs since the March 30 low tells us what we already know. There's outperformance, and then there's what Technology has done versus the rest of the market over the last six weeks — complete domination. But we know one thing: it can't last forever. What we don't know is when the group finally sees some profit taking and how the rest of the market will respond when that happens. For this uptrend to continue, it would most likely need to morph into a slower, more consistent (even boring) trading environment, much like we saw from May–October 2025. For that to happen, we'll need to see rotation. First, let's take a look at an important ratio: S & P 500 vs. RSP Equal Weight S & P 500 . Despite the SPX continuing to make new highs, equal-weight performance has once again lagged, meaning the largest stocks have remained firmly in control. This is widely understood. We'll recall that the non-tech outperformance from late 2025 through the first quarter of 2026 helped spike this ratio line, but that leadership shift quickly faded, and the ratio has rolled over once again. Now, with the RSP/SPX ratio approaching new relative lows and momentum getting close to oversold territory again, an important question emerges: is this extreme discrepancy between market-cap-weighted and equal-weight performance due for another reversal? If breadth begins to improve, it could signal that participation beneath the surface is finally broadening once again. That has yet to happen, but it may soon. The good news is that many key ETFs have built bases that are close to being triggered. Any of the other 10 sectors could stand to benefit, but three in particular are sporting potentially constructive chart formations that we'll focus on today: XLF Financials, XLI Industrials, and XLC Communication Services. Financials: The potential bullish pattern If tech is, indeed, going to cool off soon, we'll likely need the large, non-growth sectors to begin contributing more mea...

Jonathan Ernst "The Iran shock has upended the inflation environment," Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said Wednesday, noting that before the Iran war, he had “some confidence” that inflation was moving toward the Federal Reserve's 2% target. "Inflation is still too high," he said at a St. Paul Area Chamber event. "It's run above our target for five years." And the higher prices aren't just from oil prices. Fertilizer, for example, has also jumped. (In April's Producer Price Index, the services index part of the measure also advanced.) "There's a big question mark on how long the Strait of Hormuz will be closed," Kashkari said. When asked if the economy is now in a “new normal” where it would be okay for inflation to run slightly hotter, such as 3%, Kashkari said that's not acceptable. If the Fed increased its inflation target, consumers would raise their expectations for inflation and would seek bigger raises, which would feed into an inflationary cycle, he explained. "We need to get back to 2% because we need to let people know that we're not going to move the goalposts." The second half of the Fed's dual mandate is full employment. Kashkari described the labor market as "lukewarm" but said it "looks like it's hanging in there." 1:57 PM ET: " The U.S. is by far the most competitive economy in the world," he said. Kashkari doesn't see that changing soon, but he doesn't know at what point the U.S.'s large fiscal deficit will enter the "danger zone." 1:55 PM ET: In speaking about the role of the Fed chair, Kashkari said that person "has a lot of influence" in that they set the agenda for the Federal Open Market Committee and the topics that will be considered. But that person only has one vote. The person with the best idea who's most persuasive will prevail, he said. 1:50 PM ET: While overall, U.S. economic growth has been solid, he acknowledged the gap between higher-income and lower-income households. "Folks on the lower end of the economic distribution ha...
