Tanker Takes Off: Oil Shipper Soars 317% Amid Geopolitical Tensions

Good Afternoon! 

Hey, everyone. It's Adam from Elite Trade Club. Here’s what moved the market today.

This July, a little-known rule goes into effect—forcing Big Banks to rethink what qualifies as “real money.”

Surprisingly, they’re not betting on stocks, bonds, or even the U.S. dollar… they’re going all-in on physical gold.

According to Peter Schiff, it’s now “the only form of money trusted by the banking system.”

Investors tied to traditional accounts like IRAs or 401(k)s may be left behind.

But there’s still time to act.

U.S. stocks fell Friday as Israel's strike on Iran and Tehran’s retaliatory missile barrage rattled markets, sending oil prices surging and triggering a global risk-off move.

Meta (NASDAQ: META) is deepening its infrastructure investments with a new agreement that could reshape how big tech companies power AI.

The company has signed a deal with XGS Energy to develop 150 megawatts of advanced geothermal power in New Mexico, a move set to fuel its growing data center needs in the state.

Instead of traditional geothermal methods that rely on water or steam, this next-generation system utilizes dry heat technology, which can be deployed in more locations and emits zero carbon.

Once built, the electricity will be routed into the grid and used by Meta's data centers, as part of a long-term plan to meet the soaring energy demand for AI without increasing emissions.

For investors already holding Meta, this is a clear signal that the company isn't just focused on flashy AI features.

It's laying serious groundwork to support the backend power surge that AI requires.

Geothermal is a niche but rising player in the renewable space, and Meta's early move here mirrors Google's geothermal deal with Fervo Energy last year.

This deal doesn't directly move the needle in the short term, but it demonstrates Meta's commitment to building infrastructure that scales sustainably with AI growth.

As the energy needs of data-hungry models like LLaMA 3 and those that follow grow exponentially, investors can expect more moves like this not just from Meta but across the tech sector.

Ford (NYSE: F) is now facing a major materials challenge that could disrupt its electric vehicle expansion.

The company is struggling to secure rare earth magnets, a critical component in the motors that power electric vehicles (EVs).

These magnets are essential to the function and efficiency of most modern electric motors.

Without a stable supply, Ford could be forced to slow down production or absorb higher costs, both of which would ripple through its electric vehicle (EV) pipeline.

For current shareholders, this signals a new operational risk to watch: supply chain volatility tied to raw materials that Ford doesn’t fully control.

While the company has been vocal about scaling its EV offerings, its success will depend on more than just battery output and factory investments.

The ability to secure key materials, such as magnets, is just as critical and currently uncertain.

For prospective investors evaluating an entry into Ford, the magnet shortage underlines the importance of closely tracking raw material sourcing strategies.

The auto sector's shift to electric isn't just about technology. It's about who can secure the building blocks of that technology before prices rise or availability dwindles.

The rare earth supply crunch isn’t unique to Ford, but it may affect Ford more severely if alternative sourcing or motor technologies aren't implemented quickly enough.

Investors will want to see tangible action in upcoming quarters to mitigate the long-term impact.

Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is reorganizing its healthcare business into six operating units as it tries to reset its strategy in a fragmented, low-margin sector that has frustrated some of its most high-profile efforts.

The move follows several executive departures in recent months and appears aimed at restoring structure and leadership focus.

Each new unit, ranging from clinical care to pharmacy services, will now operate with defined leadership as part of a streamlined structure under Amazon Health Services.

This is not Amazon's first major attempt to crack the multitrillion-dollar U.S. healthcare market. Previous efforts, such as Amazon Care and the Haven joint venture, have failed to gain lasting traction.

Even its $3.9 billion acquisition of One Medical, which gave it physical clinic presence, has struggled to deliver profitability.

For investors, this restructuring signals that the company isn’t retreating from healthcare; it’s doubling down, but with a new approach.

Streamlining may improve execution and accountability, especially in areas like Amazon Pharmacy and One Medical, both of which are under pressure to scale sustainably.

With new clinics opening and pharmacy services expanding to more cities, Amazon is building capacity.

Whether this translates to profitability and competitive edge is something investors should watch closely.

This isn’t just politics—it’s a financial flashpoint.

Central banks and billionaires are already stockpiling it—before the fallout begins.
