Autonomous Vehicle Provider Speeds to 39% Gains

Good Afternoon!
Hey, everyone. It's Adam from Elite Trade Club. Here’s what moved the market today.
Uranium Supply Crunch (Sponsored)
On Behalf of Azincourt Energy Corp
Right now, the US has 94 nuclear reactors.
And 90% of the fuel they run on? It’s imported.
Tariffs are coming. Tensions are rising. And the government knows it needs more domestic-friendly supply.
Why Peter Thiel just joined the board of a uranium enrichment startup. Why Canada’s uranium is now more strategic than ever.
And why one tiny explorer in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin could be positioned perfectly. The company has two active projects.
It’s drilling in the richest uranium district on Earth.
And as the US tries to secure its nuclear future, Canadian explorers like this one may be the first call utilities make.

UPS Moves Into Canada’s Healthcare Supply Chain with $1.6B Andlauer Acquisition
UPS (NYSE: UPS) has agreed to acquire Canadian logistics firm Andlauer Healthcare Group for $1.6 billion, a move that strengthens its foothold in specialized cold chain transportation and expands its healthcare logistics network across Canada.
Announced today, the deal hands UPS a robust network of temperature-controlled facilities that are critical for transporting sensitive medical supplies. UPS noted that Michael Andlauer will remain at the helm of the company’s healthcare logistics operations in Canada post-acquisition.

Healthcare logistics, especially cold chain, isn’t just about moving goods. It’s about ensuring life-saving reliability. With Andlauer’s infrastructure, UPS is positioning itself to meet that demand head-on, building a competitive edge in a space where precision is everything.
UPS described the deal as a key step toward becoming the global leader in complex healthcare logistics. It builds on a string of investments in international healthcare supply chains as the company looks to diversify beyond its core U.S. delivery business. Integrating Andlauer’s employees into UPS Healthcare’s Canadian operations signals a smooth transition plan, preserving expertise while scaling up.
Still, the move makes sense. The healthcare logistics market rewards those who can deliver under pressure, and UPS is betting big on that future.
Uranium Bull Market (Sponsored)
On Behalf of Azincourt Energy Corp
In 2018, UEC was a forgotten uranium stock trading for just $0.60.
Five years later? It had exploded into a $3.11 billion juggernaut.
That’s the power of timing the uranium cycle.
But this time, the fuel behind it is different:
30+ countries committing to triple nuclear capacity
Domestic enrichment startups like General Matter raising tens of millions
And right now, a tiny uranium explorer in Canada’s Athabasca Basin is sitting on drill-ready projects… just like UEC once was.
The opportunity is hiding in plain sight.
History doesn’t repeat, but in uranium… it often rhymes.

No Negotiations, No Concessions: China Shuts Down Trade Talk Hopes
China has firmly rejected any trade negotiations with the United States, dismissing recent White House overtures that suggested a possible easing of hostilities.
Beijing’s Ministry of Commerce stated unequivocally that “absolutely no negotiations” are underway, directly contradicting remarks from U.S. President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent earlier this week. Chinese officials made it clear that the U.S. must first lift “all unilateral measures,” including steep tariffs, before any serious dialogue can start.

This latest exchange feels like a hardening of positions. The back-and-forth has already fueled aggressive tariffs, with the U.S. slapping 145% duties on Chinese imports and Beijing retaliating by tightening controls on critical mineral exports. Global markets are now stuck in limbo, caught between escalating rhetoric and economic fallout.
What stands out this time is China’s bluntness. While Washington dangles hints of progress, Beijing is drawing a line, prioritizing concrete concessions over diplomatic posturing. It’s a familiar cycle, but the stakes feel higher now. Wall Street banks are already slashing China’s GDP forecasts, and multinational supply chains are scrambling to navigate the growing uncertainty.
Neither side shows signs of backing down, and the ripple effects are hitting markets and industries worldwide. We’ll be watching closely to see if either power blinks or if this deadlock becomes the new normal for global trade.

United Adds Another Early-Stage Aircraft Play to Its Sustainability Push
United Airlines (NASDAQ: UAL) has taken a stake in JetZero, a California startup developing a blended-wing aircraft that claims to cut fuel consumption by roughly half. The deal allows us to order up to 100 jets, with an option for 100 more if the company meets key milestones such as a full-scale test flight in 2027.
We’ve been tracking aviation tech for years, and this move fits as United leans hard into its strategy of embracing innovative, high-potential ideas. With Airbus and Boeing narrow-body slots booked out for the foreseeable future and fuel remaining the airline industry’s biggest expense, any breakthrough in efficiency is critical.

The Air Force is backing the project with $235 million for the demonstrator. We see United’s involvement as a clear sign of its ability to spot promising tech early. They’ve made similar moves before, investing in electric air taxis and a supersonic concept, and while not every bet pays off, their proactive approach stands out.
Most airlines are content to wait for traditional manufacturers to iterate; United is actively seeking the next leap forward.
If JetZero delivers, United secures early delivery slots and a powerful shield against rising fuel and carbon costs. If the project falters, the airline’s exposure is limited to early-stage investment, and the insights gained will still inform future strategies as new aircraft tech emerges.

Future of Global Energy (Sponsored)
On Behalf of Azincourt Energy Corp
When Peter Thiel joins the board of a uranium enrichment startup and backs a $50 million raise, you pay attention.
Because this isn’t just Thiel.
It’s Gates with TerraPower. Bezos with General Fusion. Altman with Oklo. And now Thiel with General Matter.
The smartest minds of this generation are placing billion-dollar bets on one thing: Nuclear.
And it’s not hard to see why.
Global electricity demand is set to soar 50% by 2050.
AI. Data centers. EVs. Every megatrend needs power — and clean, baseload nuclear is the only source that scales.
Meanwhile, uranium production can’t keep up.
That’s why a tiny uranium explorer in the Athabasca Basin — home to the world’s highest-grade deposits — may soon be on every investor's radar.
Drill programs are planned. Momentum is building. And the market hasn’t caught up.
