Apple stock took a wild ride after earnings on Thursday night. Shares initially traded lower following the release of the earnings report. But it bounced back, and more, after Apple offered a strong outlook for the June quarter.

In April, CBOT wheat gained nearly 7%, corn climbed nearly 4%, and soybeans rose 2%. Brent crude surged Thursday to a four-year high exceeding $126/bbl on fears that the Middle East war could see renewed military conflict and lead to a protracted supply disruption that could hurt global economic growth, but prices later turned around and finished lower. The strength of oil prices, which have been rising due to supply disruptions linked to the war, has lifted the soy complex and corn futures, as soybeans and corn are feedstocks for biofuel. Early planting of U.S. soybeans and corn has progressed well, and forecasts for drier weather for the U.S. Corn Belt through this weekend eased some market concerns that storms could delay seeding in some areas, Reuters reported.

Nvidia 's (NASDAQ: NVDA) earnings and stock price have soared in recent years as customers rushed to get in on its artificial intelligence (AI) chips. The company makes the most powerful chip systems, ones that have guided AI models through crucial tasks such as training and inference -- and this strength has kept big tech customers coming back. Who are Nvidia's customers? The company doesn't list them, but commentary from these players tells us that they are giants such as Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) , Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) , Microsoft , Meta Platforms, and others. In the case of cloud service providers, like the first three I mentioned here, they then offer their customers access to Nvidia's platforms. As the AI boom roars on, investors have brought up a logical question: What's next for Nvidia? Everyone has wondered whether the chip giant will continue to reign and generate enormous levels of growth or whether growth will slow. The latest news from Amazon and Alphabet offers us an idea that's strikingly clear. Continue reading
In a series of social media posts Thursday, President Trump withdrew his nomination of Make America Health Again influencer Casey Means to be surgeon general, lashed out at Sen.

In a series of social media posts Thursday, President Trump withdrew his nomination of Make America Health Again influencer Casey Means to be surgeon general, lashed out at Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) for Means' stalled nomination in the Senate, then announced a new nominee: Nicole B. Saphier, a breast radiologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, a Fox News contributor, and founder of an herbal supplement company who has questioned vaccines. Trump's abandonment of Means comes as no surprise. The nomination of the Stanford University-trained doctor has been stalled in the Senate since her February confirmation hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, which Cassidy chairs. Afterward, it became clear that several Republican lawmakers, including Cassidy, had reservations about her nomination . Doubts about Means Specifically, concerns centered around her vaccine views and qualifications. Although she has a medical degree, she dropped out of her medical residency and does not hold an active license, which means, if confirmed, she would serve as the country's top doctor without being able to practice medicine. During her hearing, she largely tried to skirt questions about vaccines, avoiding explicitly recommending lifesaving shots or contradicting the views of anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Read full article Comments

avdyachenko/iStock via Getty Images Today we want to revisit Townsquare Media, Inc. ( TSQ ), a name we have covered over the years (most recently in this July 2025 article ) and continue to maintain a decent-sized allocation within some of our portfolios. The Company has been a winner in an industry that has been hit with competition from new forms of media while also positioning itself as one of the survivors by having been early to address its weaknesses and shoring up the balance sheet . After last month's conference call, which followed the release of Q4 2025 and FY 2025 results , we believe that the Company is adjusting to the negative impacts of AI on its business while also continuing to focus on growth engines within current business segments. The management team hit on a lot of items we were curious about, and while headwinds still exist, it seems that the worst may now be behind us, and the Management team has a plan in place to replace lost revenues and profits. With the Company now set to announce Q1 earnings on May 11th , we wanted to update readers on some of the key items to pay attention to. The AI Impact One of the headwinds that Townsquare faced in 2025 was a significant hit to their remnant indirect revenue, which in 2024 was a $20 million business and fell by 40% in 2025 to $12 million. This was caused by the search engines implementing AI into their search results, which had the negative effect of impacting all website owners via lower traffic and engagement numbers. This business is nearly 100% profit, so the impact was significant and noticeable on results. Management has been very transparent on this topic, and on the conference call, Bill Wilson (CEO of Townsquare) stated that "the year-over-year comparison for remnant indirect revenue will be quite negative through August of this year." Management is calling for remnant indirect revenue to decline by roughly 40% in each quarter (on a year-over-year basis) for the first half of the year and ...

Prices as of at 4.00 p.m. Eastern time. Privacy coin Zcash (CRYPTO:ZEC) surged 9% on strong inflows into the Grayscale Zcash Trust (OTC:ZCSH) . Dogecoin (CRYPTO:DOGE) gained again today. The memecoin’s price has increased 10% in the past month, in part due to speculation about the upcoming launch of Elon Musk’s X Money payment platform. In the past, Musk’s social media messages have propelled Dogecoin upwards. Top cryptocurrencies were little changed today as Bitcoin struggled to hold above $77,000, and profit-taking prevented broader gains. Bitcoin ETFs saw about $138 million in net outflows yesterday, reflecting wider concerns about inflation and soaring oil prices. Continue reading

China has built a state-driven campaign to harvest American data and weaponise it as a strategic asset that could prove critical in a conflict with the US, including over Taiwan, a key advisory committee to the US Congress heard. Experts told the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission on Thursday that Washington was falling short in countering Beijing’s data-collection drive, one that could have far-reaching implications for American society and the economy, as well as US wartime...

US equity-index futures opened higher after Wall Street climbed to fresh highs, buoyed by resilient US economic growth and solid corporate earnings, while oil retreated from a four-year peak. The yen gained on a report of Japan’s intervention. Futures contracts for the S&P 500 Index and the tech-heavy Nasdaq opened higher early Friday. The underlying gauges both closed at a record highs on Thursday on solid earnings from tech megacaps. Apple Inc. rose in late trading after reporting better-than-expected revenue, driven by strong demand for iPhones and Macs. Several Asian markets are closed for a public holiday Friday. Gains were also supported by strong US economic data. The yen was steady early Friday after surging more than 2% for its biggest gain in three years, after Japan intervened in the foreign-exchange market hours after officials delivered a “final” warning to investors against selling the currency. The Finance Ministry in Tokyo didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. However, Japan’s Nikkei newspaper, citing a government official, reported that the government bought yen and sold dollars. Several traders and strategists also said the abruptness of the move indicated action. US crude was steady at the open on Friday after Brent slipped in the previous session, easing pressure on inflation and helping lift Treasuries even as the Strait of Hormuz remained shut. Brent had risen as high as $126.41 on Thursday amid concerns about the situation in the Middle East escalating. The moves signaled the artificial-intelligence engine was on full display in the first quarter, powering the economy through headwinds from a war-fueled increase in inflation. Investors will test that narrative in the coming weeks, with markets watching whether AI-led momentum can keep offsetting price pressures and geopolitical risks. “As long as the economy continues to grow and companies are able to grow earnings, we can see higher stock prices even in the face of higher energy...
