Executive Summary

Market color: Space stocks led a broad retreat as SpaceX's post-IPO momentum faded and a short-seller note called listed space names a 'reality check,' dragging ASTS, RKLB, RDW, and MNTS lower. AI semis were mixed — META surged on its new AI agent and MRVL/AMD rose on Piper Sandler's new Overweight AI-chip coverage — while crude topping $100 and multi-year Treasury yields kept macro pressure on the tape ahead of today's inflation report.
