Wall Street is using the word "melt-up" and the biggest strategists are racing to raise their targets. But melt-ups always end. This midweek check-in breaks down what's real and what to watch. Five segments this episode: The Melt-Up Thesis — Yardeni just raised his S&P 500 target to 8,250. JPMorgan sees a path to 8,000. Brandon breaks down what a melt-up actually means, what's fueling it — earnings breadth at 4-year highs, AI momentum, collapsing volatility — and what could flip the tape fast. Macro Dashboard — Full read on SPY, QQQ, IWM, VIX, crude oil, and the 10-year yield going into a compressed 4-session holiday week with major data on Thursday. Micron (MU) — This chip maker was worth $70 billion a year ago. It just crossed $1 trillion in market cap after an 18% single-day surge. UBS tripled their price target. HBM capacity is sold out through 2026. Revenue is up 196% year-over-year. And the forward P/E is still 8x. Brandon breaks down the bull case, the cycle risk, and whether the easy money is already gone. Momentus (MNTS) — A micro-cap space infrastructure company almost nobody was talking about tripled in two days. Real revenue, insider buying by a former astronaut, SpaceX IPO tailwind, and a fresh $25M capital raise. We explain what's driving it and how to think about the risk. Earnings and Economic Calendar — Thursday is a 90-minute data bomb: Q1 GDP revision, Core PCE inflation, durable goods, and jobless claims all at once. Plus major earnings from Salesforce, Marvell, Costco, Dell, and Zscaler. Everything to know before you trade. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice. Investing involves risk.

New Fed Chair Confirmed + Cerebras IPO Set to Explode? + Trump-Xi Summit Moves Markets

Five things moving markets right now: 1. Trump-Xi Summit (Beijing, May 14-15) — The two most powerful leaders in the global economy are face-to-face. Tariffs, Iran, AI guardrails, and rare earth exports are all on the table. Musk, Cook, Fink, and the Boeing CEO traveled with Trump. The most likely outcome is a limited deal, not a grand bargain — but any signal on tariff levels or Iran cooperation could move tech and energy names sharply. 2. Macro Check-In: SPY, QQQ, VIX, Bitcoin — The S&P 500 hit record highs above 7,300 on a six-week winning streak. QQQ near 52-week highs. VIX around 18. Bitcoin holding near $80,600. But CPI came in at 3.8% YoY — hotter than expected — and PPI accelerated to +1.4% MoM. The rate cut conversation is effectively closed for 2026. Brandon reads the tape. 3. Kevin Warsh Confirmed as Fed Chair — The 54-45 Senate vote was the most partisan confirmation in Fed history. Warsh takes over from Powell with a "regime change" mandate — tighter Treasury coordination, balance sheet reduction, and a stated belief that rates can move lower. Powell stays on as governor. First Warsh-led FOMC: June 16-17. Brandon explains what this transition actually means for everyday investors. 4. Cerebras IPO ($CBRS) — The AI Chip Trade's Biggest Bet Yet — Priced at $185/share, raising $5.55 billion, 20x oversubscribed. Cerebras designs AI inference chips built around a wafer-scale engine that packs 4 trillion transistors on a single processor — a direct challenge to NVIDIA's dominance. The risks are real: 86% of revenue from two UAE customers. But if this IPO pops, it's a clear signal the AI buildout trade has another leg. 5. Economic Calendar & Earnings — CPI and PPI already printed hot this week. Retail Sales hit Thursday, UMich Sentiment Friday. Cisco just reported a record quarter ($15.8B revenue, +12% YoY) on AI networking demand. Applied Materials reports Thursday — the semiconductor capex bellwether with an 8.7% expected move. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice.
