Here are five crucial items investors should know before starting the trading day:
1. Smooth sailing The S&P 500 fell 0.16% on Friday, but gained 0.6% for the week. Recent gains in the broad market index have been accompanied by relatively low volatility.
2. Living Wills Banking regulators said Friday that they uncovered vulnerabilities in the resolution plans, or “living wills” of four of the eight major US institutions.
3. Target plus Shopify Target is searching for new brands. The big-box retailer announced Monday that firms who use e-commerce platform Shopify can apply to join Target Plus, its third-party marketplace.
4. Who owns Nvidia? It’s a name that investors are constantly hearing. But what happens outside the stock market? Not so much.
5. Sip this. For some homosexual men, the classic vodka soda has become their go-to drink and cultural emblem. Others are catching on. Its place in the present LGBTQ+ zeitgeist has piqued the entrepreneurial interest of local bar owners and canned cocktail makers, among others.
