Daily Financial Update
Opening Recap
Market Pulse: Yesterday’s markets paused after a week of gains, with bank earnings driving a surge in financials after hours. Biotech caught fire on an FDA nod for a weight-loss jab. Ether shorts are sweating as analysts eye a historic squeeze, fueling crypto chatter.
Key Movers: First Financial, Regions Financial, AAR and South Plains Financial blasted past earnings estimates, igniting bank stocks. Sarepta’s refusal to halt gene therapy shipments amid patient fatalities grabbed headlines, keeping investors on edge.

Unfiltered Market Commentary
Investors are so drunk on biotech hype that they’re ignoring the elephant in the room: Sarepta’s decision to keep shipping its gene therapy even after patient deaths. That kind of risk appetite is nuts, but when a next-gen “belly-fat-melting” jab stands on FDA’s doorstep, everyone’s willing to look the other way. Don’t be the one standing alone when the after-party turns into a hangover.
At the same time, a regulatory green light from the Genius Act and whispers of an Ether short squeeze are blending into a single thesis: when Washington lets crypto run free, traders jump in headfirst—even if fundamentals don’t back it. You’ve got politics and tech colliding in the most explosive way, and nobody’s connecting those dots.
My take? Lock in profits on the biotech sprint until that FDA decision lands and hedge your crypto bets—if Ether squeezes, you want to be in, but have an exit plan. Markets are cooking, but you need a game plan before you get burned.
