Theodore #Gillibrand, son of Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, raised $30 million to launch American Perpetuals Exchange Corp. (#APEC), a #derivativesexchange for #perpetualfutures. APEC, valued at $300 million, aims to list #perpetuals for #equities and #stockindices, not cryptocurrencies. Perpetual futures, popular in digital asset trading, have gained traction in traditional finance, with the #CFTC approving their listing on U.S. exchanges. https://fortune.com/2026/06/18/theodore-gillibrand-senator-kirstin-gillibrand-apec-american-perpetuals-exchange-corporation-lux-capital/?eickercrypto.com #crypto #blockchain

Over the past trading week:

• Cyclicals improved
• Bonds stabilized
• Banks strengthened
• Commodity leadership weakened

A more balanced intermarket backdrop emerged relative to recent weeks.

Stocks aren’t the inflation shield many assumed. 📉

- Recent data shows equity returns lagging behind CPI, eroding real‑term gains.
- High valuations, earnings pressure, and sector‑specific risks are breaking the low‑correlation myth.
- Diversification still matters, but expect less inflation‑hedging power from stocks right now.

Why The Cheapest Software Stocks May Be The Most Dangerous Bargain In 2026 

Back in 2015, a certain kind of stock looked irresistible… Tilly’s (TLYS) was trading at a single-digit P/E. So was Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF). American Eagle (AEO). The Buckle (BKE). A whole shelf of mall-based apparel names had been bludgeoned by Amazon (AMZN), and bargain hunters were lining up to scoop them out of the discount bin. The pitch wrote itself. Real revenue. Real stores. Real dividends. And a multiple that left almost nothing to the downside.......Continue […]

Bloomberg’s John Authers: The combination of #equities like 2000 and #bonds like 2007 is unnerving. The big difference is that this time, there is a genuine force powering positively through the #economy — the #artificialintelligence revolution. Nothing remotely comparable was afoot in 2007 #markets

Weekly Watch: Intermarket Rotation

This week’s market structure remained highly fragmented:

• Energy and commodities surged
• Bonds weakened further
• Cyclicals deteriorated
• Metals stayed weak
• Dollar strength returned

Headline indices masked a much more selective internal backdrop.

#IntermarketAnalysis #Macro #Markets #Commodities #Equities

2 BMO: U.S. #equities continue to largely ignore #oil/inflation/Iran #risks, rallying hard yesterday and #futures point to a further moderate advance at the open, largely on #AI enthusiasm. #WTI #oil prices are steady at around $101. #markets

A notable rotation shift this week:

• Tech and growth accelerated higher
• Energy and commodities weakened
• Gold and silver strengthened
• Bonds stabilized

Still a mixed intermarket environment beneath the surface.
