U.S. stocks ended the week on a bearish note after President Donald Trump called for a 50% tariff on European goods and threatened Apple with tariffs on foreign-made iPhones.

Nike (NYSE: NKE) is raising prices on adult apparel and footwear starting June 1 and will return to Amazon after a five-year absence, signaling a renewed push to regain revenue and channel strength. 

The company confirmed modest increases across categories between $2 and $10, depending on product type, while excluding key price-sensitive segments like children’s items and Air Force 1s.

Nike’s reentry to Amazon marks a strategic reversal from its 2019 exit and will allow the brand to regain direct control over a high-traffic digital sales channel. Amazon confirmed it will source a broader selection of Nike products directly, giving existing independent sellers time to clear overlapping inventory.

The dual move signals Nike’s recalibrated strategy amid shifting consumer habits and rising sourcing costs. This reflects renewed pricing discipline and a sharper focus on digital distribution scale—two levers that could support margin resilience without over-relying on promotional activity.

Nike also emphasized broader retail initiatives, including expanded physical partnerships and AI-powered search features across its online platforms.

As Q2 approaches, the focus now turns to whether these operational resets can stabilize Nike’s performance following recent softness in North American sales.

The U.S. is stepping up efforts to secure Asian investment in the $44 billion Alaska liquid natural gas (LNG) project to turn a long-anticipated export vision into reality. On June 2, top U.S. energy officials will host delegates from Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan in Alaska to promote the project's strategic role in the Pacific energy supply.

So far, only Taiwan has made a formal commitment. In March, the state-owned CPC Corporation signed a letter of intent to invest in and purchase LNG from the project. Japan and South Korea, key U.S. allies with high LNG demand, have yet to make binding moves.

The lack of traction underscores Washington's challenge in turning diplomatic ties into hard capital. The administration has framed the project as a tool to enhance Indo-Pacific energy resilience, but investor caution and geopolitical friction remain key obstacles.

Ironically, despite being the first to commit, Taiwan was hit with a 32% U.S. tariff, now suspended, further complicating the optics. Japan and South Korea, meanwhile, continue to weigh their options, leaving the project without the financial momentum it needs to advance.

For now, Alaska LNG is long on ambition but short on cash. Unless the June summit produces firmer commitments, U.S. hopes of anchoring regional energy security through this platform remain more a strategic talking point than a deliverable.

Policy changes often spark market moves—and this latest investor report pinpoints 6 stocks aligned with current trends in Washington.

These companies could benefit from targeted spending, sector incentives, and regulatory tailwinds.

PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP) no longer faces a federal case over alleged price discrimination after the U.S. Federal Trade Commission officially dropped its complaint. Initially filed in January, the lawsuit accused the company of giving Walmart favorable pricing terms.

The decision to dismiss the case removes a potential regulatory overhang related to PepsiCo's retail pricing practices. The FTC had alleged that PepsiCo's arrangements with Walmart disadvantaged smaller grocery and convenience store chains, which could have impacted competitive dynamics across the retail channel.

For investors, the outcome signals a return to business as usual. PepsiCo emphasized that it has consistently applied fair, non-discriminatory pricing across its customer base.

With the legal issue now resolved, the focus shifts back to how the company manages input costs, channel performance, and brand pricing amid shifting consumer demand.

Although the case stirred brief headlines, it is unlikely to have a lasting financial impact. Still, the episode highlights the ongoing regulatory interest in pricing structures used by major brands and their largest retail partners.

PepsiCo's dismissal also comes at a time when policymakers are increasingly scrutinizing retail and food giants regarding inflation, discounts, and supply chain equity.

Lightbridge Corp [LTBR] $15.20 (+42.59%)
