David Bahnsen delivers a “normal” Monday Dividend Cafe covering the weekend’s major news—an assassination attempt tied to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner that ended without fatalities and had no market impact—then recaps mostly flat markets (Dow -63; S&P/Nasdaq slightly up) amid unusually extended semiconductor trading. He notes the 10-year yield near 4.3%, sector moves, and elevated oil closing near $97 alongside an Iran proposal involving reopening the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for delaying nuclear talks. Bahnsen highlights M&A skewed toward mega-deals, retail ETF flows chasing recent performance, and discusses a potential federal convertible loan to Spirit Airlines. Economic updates include healthy jobless claims, a pickup in wage growth for job changers, sharply slowing home price appreciation, expectations for a Walsh-led Fed as Powell’s term ends, and a focus on Mag 7 earnings—especially AI capex plans.
