We break down how short squeezes actually work, whether there's a real turnaround underneath the meme, and the traps that make these moves so dangerous in both directions.Then we cover a split-personality market: AI doubts rattled tech early in the week before Micron's blowout earnings — including a massive $50 billion revenue guide — reignited the AI memory trade. We explain why it matters and the hidden "AI tax" quietly raising the price of phones and PCs.Finally, inflation: why a crash in oil prices doesn't mean the inflation fight is over, the lesser-known triggers that could still push the Fed toward a rate hike, and the May PCE report — the Fed's preferred inflation gauge — arriving Thursday morning.⚠️ Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice.
