🎯 Session Review
Green across the board today, folks. The S&P 500 climbed 0.58% to 7,818.93, the Nasdaq added 0.45% to 27,599.79, and the Dow tacked on 0.49% to 51,521.28. It was the kind of broad advance that makes everyone feel a little smarter about their holdings.The real fireworks came from the energy corner, where Constellation Energy (CEG) exploded higher by nearly 33 points to 300.40 after signing a massive 3.6-gigawatt power deal with Google. Treasury yields eased slightly, with the 10-year dipping to 5.27%, giving stocks a little extra tailwind.
Throw in a softer dollar at 101.85 on the DXY, and you had a recipe for risk appetite. Even Bitcoin's small slip to $85,591 couldn't dampen the mood.

Today was all about power and dealmaking. Google's agreement to buy 3,590 megawatts from Constellation Energy, with new nuclear supplying about a quarter of it, sent CEG and clean-energy peers like Clearway (CWEN, +1.17) and FuelCell (FCEL, +2.58) higher. The AI power grab is now a full-blown energy story.M&A also kept bankers busy. Uber (UBER) is scooping up catering platform ezCater for $2.3 billion, C.H. Robinson (CHRW) agreed to buy rival RXO, and Emera (EMA) is acquiring Canadian Utilities in a roughly $10 billion all-stock deal.
Chips chipped in too. Micron (MU) settled its Netlist patent fight for $600 million, clearing an overhang, while AMD jumped 17.67 to 649.42 and Marvell (MRVL) added 15.76.

🎭 Investor Mood
Investor Pulse: Powered Up
Investor sentiment leaned confidently upbeat today, and for good reason. When Google locks in 3.6 gigawatts of power, the market reads it as proof that the AI buildout has staying power, not just hype. That confidence rippled straight into utilities and data-center plays.The wave of M&A announcements added another layer of optimism. Deals signal that boardrooms see value worth paying for, which tends to lift the whole room. Uber, C.H. Robinson, and Emera all striking deals on the same day is not a coincidence, it is a trend.
Still, there were reminders that not everything is sunny. Google is fighting a £1 billion UK lawsuit over app store fees, and the U.S. trade deficit widened in August as imports climbed. Markets shrugged, but the regulatory and macro clouds haven't fully cleared.

Why Gold Keeps Returning to the Conversation
Central banks never stopped holding it. Governments never fully walked away. And right now, with debt levels, inflation, and currency questions dominating financial headlines, gold is back at the center of the conversation for a reason.
A no-cost guide breaks down the history, the economics, and what it could mean for your retirement savings.
💸 Bottom Line
Today's session connected two of the market's biggest themes: AI's insatiable appetite for electricity and a dealmaking environment that's clearly heating up. Constellation's surge is a signal worth remembering. Power is now a strategic asset in the AI arms race, and the companies that supply it are getting repriced accordingly.Keep an eye on the IPO pipeline too. Nvidia-backed Lambda (NVDA) is reportedly raising up to $4 billion at a $14.5 billion valuation ahead of a planned public debut, a reminder that capital is flowing freely into AI infrastructure.
With yields drifting lower and the dollar softening, the backdrop stays supportive for risk assets. The question heading into the rest of the week is whether earnings season can validate these elevated valuations.
