U.S. stocks fell midday Friday as President Donald Trump renewed trade tensions, proposing a sweeping 35% tariff on Canadian imports. The announcement rattled equity markets, pushing the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all into negative territory.

The proposed tariffs weighed heavily on shares of Canada-linked firms. Among them, Royal Bank of Canada (RY) and Spotify Technology (SPOT) which is headquartered in Luxembourg but has significant exposure to the Canadian market both saw notable declines.

Elsewhere, shares of Albemarle (ALB) dropped after UBS analysts downgraded the lithium producer, citing concerns about a growing supply glut that could pressure global lithium prices.

Despite the broader market weakness, Nvidia (NVDA) continued its record-setting run. The chipmaker, central to the AI boom, climbed higher again today after recently surpassing a $4 trillion market capitalization joining the ranks of the most valuable companies in history.

Cryptocurrency-related stocks also rallied. MicroStrategy (MSTR), MARA Holdings (MARA), and Riot Platforms (RIOT) moved higher as bitcoin hit another all-time high.

Defense stocks saw upside as well, following remarks from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who pledged to streamline procurement processes and increase Pentagon spending on domestically-produced drones. AeroVironment (AVAV) and Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (KTOS) both rose on the news.

Fundamental analysis in trading is very important for understanding the general trend of an asset.

But since most traders struggle with reading and interpreting complex economic data, I’m going to share with you today a quick shortcut to simplify the process.

Instead of diving into endless news and reports, we’ll follow what the "big bosses" banks and institutions are doing. The tool we’ll use is called the Commitment of Traders (COT reports).

So, how do you quickly tell whether institutions are buying or selling, without getting lost in economic details?

Here’s a simple method based on just two key values: Net Positions and Open Interest.

 Quick Guide to Institutional Sentiment:

Open Interest ↑ + Net Positions ↑ = Strong Bullish Trend (new money entering the market)
Open Interest ↑ + Net Positions ↓ = Strong Bearish Trend (increased short positions)
Open Interest ↓ + Net Positions ↑ = Short Covering Rally (weak bullish move)
Open Interest ↓ + Net Positions ↓ = Long Liquidation (weak bearish move)

For example, this week according to the latest COT reports:

Gold is showing bearish sentiment with a weak move (likely due to long liquidation).
NASDAQ is showing buying interest but also with a weak move (possibly a short covering rally).

Wall Street was mixed at midday Tuesday as investors assessed the latest wave of tariffs from the Trump administration and their broader economic implications. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 0.2%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both hovered slightly in the red.

The energy sector saw renewed volatility, particularly among alternative energy names. Enphase Energy (ENPH), First Solar (FSLR), and NextEra Energy (NEE) all fell sharply after President Donald Trump signed an executive order slashing federal support for renewable energy projects, a move expected to reverberate across the solar and wind industries.

Meanwhile, gold miners took a hit as Newmont Corporation (NEM) and peers slipped in tandem with gold prices. Rising bond yields reduced the allure of the non-yielding asset, prompting a retreat from the precious metals sector.

Bank stocks also came under pressure following a downgrade from HSBC. Bank of America (BAC), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), and Goldman Sachs (GS) lost ground as analysts warned that the recent rally in financials may be overdone in light of economic headwinds.

On the upside, Stanley Black & Decker (SWK) gained after Wolfe Research upgraded the stock, citing improving fundamentals in end markets and dismissing earlier concerns about earnings volatility.

In M&A news, GlobalFoundries (GFS) surged after the chipmaker announced the acquisition of AI and processor IP firm MIPS. Though financial terms were not disclosed, the deal signals GFS’s push into high-growth AI infrastructure markets.

Shares of Sequans Communications (SQNS) rocketed higher after the French semiconductor firm disclosed it had raised $384 million to begin acquiring bitcoin, marking a surprising pivot into digital assets.
