Team,

We found out last night that the US & China would negotiate trade on 5/8. Fed Wednesday came and went today. We also got news that Trump would ease semiconductors exports imposed during the Biden administration.

But after all of this news…US equities are barely changed 🤔

Let’s take a look under the hood and gauge reward/risk. HAGE🍻
