U.S. stocks climbed as the Fed’s rate cut and dovish outlook boosted sentiment, while Nvidia’s $5B investment in Intel sparked a tech-led rally that pushed the S&P 500 to new highs.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) just threw $5 billion into Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), buying shares at $23.28 apiece.

The deal also comes with a plan to build custom AI data centers and new PC chips together, giving Intel more than money—it gives it a lifeline.

Intel has been stumbling for years, losing almost $19 billion last year and missing most of tech’s biggest shifts.

Now, with government backing and Nvidia’s support, it suddenly looks like a player again instead of a patient on life support.

Why Nvidia Wants This Tie-Up

This isn’t charity. Nvidia gets a direct path into Intel’s CPU and x86 ecosystem, something it couldn’t crack before.

That means tighter control of the data center stack and a stronger push into PCs.

At the same time, Intel borrows Nvidia’s shine, regaining credibility while getting the chance to rebuild.

It’s a partnership of convenience, but one that changes the shape of the market.

The Stakes From Here

Together, the two can squeeze rivals like AMD and Qualcomm, while splitting risk in a sector that moves fast.

Nvidia cements dominance, and Intel proves it’s not out of the AI race yet.

It may not be the prettiest partnership, but it could be one of the most profitable. Sometimes survival makes the strangest bedfellows.

American Express (NYSE: AXP) rolled out a new Platinum package with over $3,500 in perks, from Lululemon credits to Uber One memberships.

At the same time, the annual fee climbed $200 to $895.

That price tag sounds wild, but AmEx never chased bargain shoppers. Its brand has always been about turning a piece of plastic into a status symbol.

Why the Price Hike Isn’t Scaring Them Off

Platinum cardholders aren’t just paying for transactions; they’re paying for a bundled lifestyle.

Travel lounges, fine dining credits, and hotel upgrades—AmEx packages it like a subscription that feels worth it if the perks are used.

Younger customers buy into that story just as much as older ones, treating the card like a membership badge.

Raising the fee tests that loyalty, but history shows AmEx cardholders rarely walk away.

The Angle That Matters

Every perk that keeps members hooked means steadier recurring revenue and fatter margins. That stickiness makes rivals like Citi look like they’re chasing scraps.

AmEx isn’t trying to be for everyone as it’s doubling down on people who spend big. That’s exactly why profits hold up, and why the stock still looks like a solid long-term play.

On Behalf of The FUTR Corp.

Most “next big AI” stories are still burning cash.

But not this one.

The foundation is already in place:

Now comes the real catalyst.  The rollout of consumer AI agents.

Agents that can read your bills, flag your renewals, pay your obligations, and reward you for sharing your structured, verified data.

Every bill, contract, and policy hides valuable zero-party data. A new payments backbone combined with a Utility Token unlocks it, creating a consent-driven marketplace where every transaction generates recurring revenue.

This isn’t just another startup promise. It’s a scaled, profitable engine ready to tap one of the fastest-growing markets of the decade.

And right now, the market hasn’t priced it in.

General Mills (NYSE: GIS) is trading near $50, close to the bottom of its 52-week range. At these levels, the stock offers nearly a 5 percent dividend yield, the richest it has been in years.

For a household staple name with brands like Cheerios and Betty Crocker, that combination of low valuation and high yield doesn’t come around often.

It has the feel of a setup where patience could pay.

Why the Setup Looks Appealing

Rates are expected to fall over the next couple of years, which makes dividend payers more attractive.

General Mills already has a long record of dividend hikes, giving income hunters confidence in the payout.

On top of that, the balance sheet looks steady. Debt is manageable, and cash from selling the yogurt business has strengthened buybacks and capital returns.

What Could Unlock More Upside

Quarterly numbers haven’t been flashy, with revenue down on divestitures and brand reinvestments.

But margins are improving, and signs point to growth picking up again as the year goes on.

If sales stabilize and costs ease, the stock could grind higher, especially with tailwinds from consumer staples demand.

That makes General Mills a quiet candidate for both income and recovery.
