Former Goldman Sachs vice chair joins NVIDIA board in July Stock Titan

While they both have strong long-term track records, the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEMKT: SCHD) and the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSEMKT: VTI) construct their portfolios very differently. This Vanguard exchange-traded fund (ETF) essentially invests in the entire investable U.S. equity market. This Schwab ETF targets dividend-paying stocks with healthy balance sheets, long histories of dividend payments, and above-average yields. They can both fit into almost any portfolio, but one of them is built to do better over the long term. Continue reading

Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York, US, on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. Michael Nagle | Bloomberg | Getty Images U.S. equities rose on Friday following a better-than-expected April's jobs report and as traders eyed developments between the U.S. and Iran. The S&P 500 advanced 0.84% to end at 7,398.93, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.71% to 26,247.08. Both indexes hit new all-time intraday highs in the session and closed at records. The Dow Jones Industrial Average inched up 12.19 points, or 0.02%, to settle at 49,609.16. All three major averages posted weekly gains, propelled by strong earnings. Upbeat tech earnings lifted the Nasdaq to a 4.5% climb, while the S&P 500 gained 2.3%. Both posted six straight winning weeks, marking the longest win streak since 2024 for the broad market benchmark and the tech-heavy index. The Dow Industrials lagged with a week-to-date gain of 0.2%. Sentiment was bolstered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics reporting that nonfarm payrolls rose by 115,000 last month, more than the 55,000 that economists polled by Dow Jones were expecting. The U.S. jobless rate also held steady at 4.3%, in line with expectations. However, oil prices were marginally higher, with West Texas Intermediate crude futures rising 0.64% to $95.42 per barrel, after the U.S. and Iran exchanged fire in the Strait of Hormuz. Each side claimed the other struck first. U.S. Central Command said that military forces "intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes" as a trio of U.S. Navy destroyers transited the waterway. In a Truth Social post Thursday night, President Donald Trump said there was "no damage done to the three Destroyers, but great damage done to the Iranian attackers." He also reportedly said that the ceasefire is still in effect, saying the strikes against Iranian targets were "just a love tap." Investors have been awaiting a response from Iran on the proposal to end the conflict in the ...

油价小幅上涨，交易员权衡美国与伊朗的最新冲突是否会破坏脆弱的停火，从而削弱短期内达成和平协议的希望。黄金价格走高。伦铜期货大幅上涨，创自10月初以来最大单周涨幅。 原油：油价小幅上涨 海湾冲突威胁停火协议 油价小幅上涨，交易员权衡美国与伊朗的最新冲突是否会破坏脆弱的停火，从而削弱短期内达成和平协议的希望。 全球基准布伦特上涨1.2%，收于每桶约101美元，但本周仍下跌约6%。 尽管美国官员表示期望伊朗将很快回应最新提议，但波斯湾再度爆发冲突仍令市场不安。 市场关注点仍集中在自2月底战争爆发以来陷入瘫痪的霍尔木兹海峡航运。 伊朗批评美国违反停火协议，据塔斯尼姆通讯社报道，伊朗准备制定有关霍尔木兹海峡“法律制度”的计划。 “对霍尔木兹海峡的控制已成为伊朗最有力的谈判筹码，”法兴银行分析师Ben Hoff等在报告中写道。“近期对船只的扣押和骚扰表明，尽管外交是基准情景，但存在冲突重燃的实质性风险。” 美国总统特朗普周五下午宣布俄罗斯和乌克兰将实施为期三天的停火，这推动油价短暂回落。 本周油价在约10美元区间内波动，反映市场对冲突前景的预期不断变化。 6月WTI上涨0.6%，结算价报每桶95.42美元； 7月布伦特小幅上涨1.2%，结算价报每桶101.29美元。 贵金属：金价走高 即便中东再起冲突，黄金价格依然上涨，市场出现新的买盘迹象。 伊朗对三艘在霍尔木兹海峡航行的美国海军驱逐舰开火后，美国打击了伊朗境内的军事目标。不过，特朗普称停火依然有效。 Pepperstone Group Ltd．的分析师Ahmad Assiri表示，中国央行持续购买黄金的势头“可能会鼓舞到亚洲买家”。他指出，“我们目前看到市场在为潜在的上涨行情做早期布局”，一旦中东冲突最糟糕的时期过去，上涨行情就可能随之而来。” 截至纽约时间下午4：15，黄金现货上涨0.7%，报4717.94美元/盎司； 白银现货上涨2.5%，报80.4146美元/盎司。 基本金属：伦铜创七个月来最大单周涨幅 随着市场对美伊冲突即将结束的预期升温，伦铜期货大幅上涨，创自10月初以来最大单周涨幅。 周五，伦铜上涨1.3%，收于每吨13，573美元，为1月29日以来的最高收盘水平。尽管美伊在霍尔木兹海峡附近发生冲突，铜价仍然上涨。 若美伊达成协议，将有助于提振对工业金属需求前景的信心，但随着紧张局势持续，交易员也在计入上升的供应...

尽管近几个月私募信贷市场部分头部机构限制投资者赎回基金，但美联储表示，后续私募信贷赎回请求引发的稳定性风险似乎“有限且可控”。 该机构在周五发布的金融稳定报告中指出：“尽管2026年第一季度这些基金的资金流出小幅超过新资金流入，但赎回请求仍保持可控。” 美联储指出，持续的赎回和负面情绪可能导致部分借款人的信贷可得性下降，尤其是信用风险相对较高的借款人。 责任编辑：丁文武

According to a recent SEC filing , Crescent Grove Advisors, LLC sold 104,808 shares of the Angel Oak UltraShort Income ETF (NASDAQ:UYLD) during the first quarter of 2026. The estimated transaction value was $5.37 million, calculated using the average closing price for the first quarter of 2026. The estimated transaction value was approximately $5.4 million, calculated using the average closing price during the quarter. At quarter-end, the fund held 243,870 shares valued at $12.5 million. Angel Oak UltraShort Income ETF (UYLD) is a non-diversified ETF that provides exposure to a portfolio of ultrashort-duration fixed-income assets. This looks like a straightforward portfolio trim rather than a loss-of-confidence moment. Crescent Grove cut its UYLD stake by about 30% -- from roughly 348,700 shares to 243,900 -- but it still holds a meaningful position worth $12.5 million, or roughly 1.2% of AUM. Moves like this are common among wealth management firms as they fine-tune their allocations each quarter. Continue reading

McDowell reiterated the operating plan as the review continues, saying the strategy is "centered on the stabilization of the portfolio through increased leasing activity, the timely disposition of non-core assets, managing leverage and very selective capital recycling into new DUA assets" and that management "expect these efforts to result in core FFO per share growth in 2026 and beyond" (CEO McDowell).

That is an all-time record for us," said Vice Chairman, Co-CEO & President Peter Hoetzinger, adding, "Every single property in the U.S. and Canada had higher revenues than in Q1 of last year" and "adjusted EBITDAR increas[ed] 24% year-over-year."
