The Dow slipped 0.1%, while the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ rose 0.1% and the $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ gained 0.2%. Markets were quiet as investors awaited Friday’s PCE inflation report, the Fed’s preferred gauge. August PCE: +2.7% YoY September estimate: +2.8% YoY A cooler-than-expected reading would likely boost odds of a Fed rate cut, which could support stocks. The Russell 2000 jumped 0.7%, hitting its 7th record close of 2025, helped by optimism around lower interest rates (small-caps are more debt-sensitive).

According to a Washington Post report cited by Reuters, $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ is preparing to end its long‑standing partnership with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) as the e‑commerce giant expands its nationwide delivery network. Amazon USPS Financial Impact Amazon has been USPS’s largest customer, generating more than $6 billion in annual revenue in 2025. The potential exit could significantly hurt USPS, which has relied on large delivery contracts to offset heavy losses. USPS recorded a $9.5 billion loss in 2024 and has accumulated over $100 billion in losses since 2007, despite restructuring and legislative reforms.

Equities Rebound as Risk Signals Turn Green U.S. equities regained their footing on Tuesday as investors cautiously rotated back into riskier assets. The $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ rose 0.6%, outperforming the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ (+0.3%) and the Dow Jones (+0.4%), reversing the hesitant tone that marked the start of December. Index The session’s leadership came from the higher-beta corners of the market: tech, momentum, and risk-focused ETFs. Meanwhile, traditionally defensive segments such as value, dividends, and low volatility lagged, underscoring a renewed, though still fragile, risk appetite. The shift aligned with broader sentiment improvements following last week’s run-up and a temporary pause early this w

Conclusion: A Tentative but Rising Confidence Tuesday's session reinforced a growing pattern: when crypto stabilizes, and tech earnings surprise to the upside, risk sentiment tends to snap back quickly.  While investors remain cautious after a strong November, the renewed strength in semiconductors, megacap tech, and consumer-driven platforms such as $Apple(AAPL)$  suggests underlying confidence is improving. Still, with the Fed's rate decision imminent, the durability of this rally depends on whether macro conditions align with the market's optimistic year-end hopes.  For now, momentum is turning upward, but the real test arrives next week… @TigerStars

Despite the pullback in indices, risk sentiment was mixed: Bitcoin slumped, but mega-cap tech held firm, and silver surged to a record high, offering an unusual bright spot in the commodities s
