What’s Happening in the Market
Right now, two sectors are standing out from the crowd: tech and shipping. Here’s why:
- Tech is making a comeback: After a rocky start to the year, big tech names like Meta ($META) are heating up again thanks to AI. Companies are spending billions on AI tools, and Meta is right in the middle of it.
- Shipping rates are through the roof: Attacks in the Red Sea and port delays have pushed shipping costs up 120% this year. That’s great news for companies like Diana Shipping ($DSX), which owns a fleet of ships.
