Chatgpt Summary: Overall Tone: Cautious optimism. The agreement is seen as a positive development, but real benefits hinge on execution and trust. Markets appear to be in a "wait and see" mode, with little immediate reaction due to expectations already being priced in.
US, China Officials Say Consensus Reached on Geneva Framework
All this time, I genuinely believed Jetstar was a proud Singapore budget airline. I mean, every flight I took, I was greeted by friendly Asian stewardesses with that unmistakable chio bu energy — how could it not be local? Fast forward to Today... I stumble upon the truth: Jetstar is actually owned by Qantas.

He wants to kick out "Too Late"? Can he do that? Make more enemies and I am curious to see how this pans out after 4 years when he is no longer president
Hooters has suddenly shuttered dozens of locations, despite having recently declared it was here to stay following a bankruptcy filing—a clear sign of deeper structural issues. As for Friday’s economic numbers, I’m not optimistic. Even if the data comes in positive, I don’t see any meaningful upside for the U.S. economy over the next six months.
U.S. May Nonfarm Payrolls Preview: Risk of Disappointing Jobs Looms, Can Unemployment Hold at 4.2%? S&P Braces for Volatility
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Everyone saw the warning signs—Tesla’s numbers in Europe and China were faltering. But it didn’t matter.

Small business optimism is at a decade low, and commercial real estate defaults continue to rise. There's no clear earnings or macro driver for this rally. This market euphoria may be short-lived as financial stress quietly builds underneath.
