Data as of 8:09 AM ET
Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Futures are barely moving, with the S&P and Nasdaq inching lower while the Dow clings to green, so today looks like a stock-picker's session rather than a broad tape trade. The headlines are coming from corporate deal desks and product launches, not the Fed. Here's your morning rundown.
👀 What to Watch Today
With futures sitting flat, the action today is company-specific. Keep GSK front and center after it agreed to a deal worth up to 750 million dollars for a trispecific T cell-engager cancer drug from a China-based biotech. That is the kind of pipeline move that can ripple across the entire oncology and biotech space.GM is also worth a look as it prepares to roll out a new customer software experience with its redesigned Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups later this year. As trucks go more digital, GM is trying to own the in-vehicle interface the way tech firms own screens.
On the macro side, the 10-year Treasury yield sits at 4.96 percent and the dollar index is steady near 99.60. Watch whether rates hold under 5 percent, since that level has been a psychological line for equity buyers all quarter.

Text Me the Alerts🌏 Overnight Recap
Overseas trading was measured overnight, mirroring the muted tone in US futures. Asian markets took cues from a quieter macro calendar, while European desks focused on GSK, whose oncology deal put a spotlight on cross-border biotech dealmaking between Europe and China.One story with real infrastructure weight: Amazon Web Services still cannot restore access to its cloud facility in Bahrain or one of three hosting zones in the UAE after damage during the Iran war. That is a reminder that geopolitical risk now shows up directly in cloud uptime, and AMZN watchers will want clarity on the timeline.
Crypto stayed under pressure, with Bitcoin down 1.68 percent to about 76,879 dollars. Sentiment did not get help from US authorities moving to seize 61 million dollars in crypto tied to Iranian oil sales laundered through China.

Get This "Fed Ticker" Before September 16
Larry Benedict went 20 straight years without a losing year and generated $274 million for his clients. Now he's watching one overlooked ticker he believes could move before most investors even know why.
September 16 is the date. When Trump's Fed announces its decision, billions could shift within minutes. The ticker sitting in its path is already identified.
📊 Pre-Market Movers
GSK is the name to track pre-market after announcing a deal worth up to 750 million dollars for a trispecific T cell-engager designed to help T-cells target cancer, sourced from a China-based biotech. Deals like this tend to move both the buyer and the broader oncology group.GM could see interest as it teases a new infotainment and customer software experience arriving with its redesigned Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. Investors will weigh whether software becomes a real differentiator against digital-first rivals.
AMZN is worth monitoring given the unresolved AWS outage in Bahrain and one UAE zone, an operational overhang that could weigh on sentiment even as the broader tape stays flat.
🔍 Today's Watchlist
- GSK for follow-through on its up to 750 million dollar cancer drug acquisition and any read-across to oncology peers.
- GM as it details the new software experience launching with redesigned Silverado and Sierra pickups.
- AMZN and cloud names as AWS works to restore war-damaged Bahrain and UAE data zones.
- The 10-year Treasury yield at 4.96 percent and whether it stays below the 5 percent line.
- Bitcoin near 76,900 dollars after a 1.68 percent drop and fresh crypto seizure headlines.

Chaikin: Buy This Stock By Sept. 29
Marc Chaikin's Power Gauge flashed bullish on Nvidia before it ran 50,001%. Now it's signaling on one off-the-radar AI stock he believes could explode on or before Sept. 29.
It's not Nvidia. Not Apple. This company built chips that run 1 trillion times more powerful than today's data centers, using 99% less energy. The U.S. government is already pouring billions in.
🎯 The Morning Playbook
With futures flat and yields calm, this is a session to lean into individual catalysts rather than chase the index. GSK gives you a clean thesis on biotech dealmaking, while GM offers a slower-burn story about software becoming part of the auto value stack.Keep an eye on AMZN for headline risk from the ongoing AWS restoration effort, and watch how crypto trades after the latest seizure news pressures Bitcoin. Rates holding under 5 percent keeps the door open for equity bulls.
Quiet mornings are when disciplined homework pays off. Pick your spots, size sensibly, and let the news do the heavy lifting today.
