To The Moon

The Shipping sectors rose an average of 1.64%, primarily driven by rising freight rates, ongoing Red Sea rerouting effects, resilient dry bulk and specialized shipping demand, and positive market momentum from geopolitical tensions and trade flows.

U.S. stocks advanced on Friday and Treasury yields rose as investors absorbed a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court striking down President Donald Trump’s tariffs, while also parsing a weak GDP report and higher-than-expected inflation data.

All three major U.S. stock indexes moved higher immediately following the Supreme Court’s decision. All three indexes posted gains on the week.
