Evercore Sees S&P 500 Hitting 9,000 in 2026; Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) Seen as Buy
July 12, 2026, 5:48 AM EDT. Julian Emanuel, Evercore’s chief equity strategist, says the S&P 500 could climb another 19% to hit 9,000 in 2026 after already posting an 11% gain. Emanuel points to lower oil prices curbing inflation and stronger profits as AI spending picks up. He expects the Fed will hold off on raising rates, a move that could push some of the $8 trillion sitting in money markets over to stocks. He likes the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) for broad S&P exposure and low fees, calling it a pick for investors betting on more upside.

Lundin Gold Holds 2026 Outlook as Shares Slide 33%, Analysts Call Stock Undervalued
July 12, 2026, 5:47 AM EDT. Lundin Gold (TSX:LUG) stuck with its 2026 production target for Fruta del Norte in Ecuador, even as the shares have dropped 33% in the past three months. The stock last traded at CA$78.23, well under its projected fair value of CA$108.09-leaving it about 27.6% undervalued. Analysts point to upside from resource expansion and drilling, with bets on bigger reserves and a longer mine life, but note the risks around swings in the gold price and how exploration goes. The stock trades at 14.7x earnings, a bit above the Canadian metals group and LUG’s peers, but just under a fair 15.8x P/E. There’s some optimism on Lundin’s long-term story, though investors are balancing it with the risk.

Bitcoin stuck in bear market; analysts see shot at $100,000 even as rates bite
July 12, 2026, 5:00 AM EDT. Bitcoin is trading at about half its record $126,000, locked in its longest bear market since 2022. Four-year cycles drive investor moves and these downturns, Bitwise’s Matt Hougan said. Inflation hit 4.1% year-over-year in June, pushing the Fed toward more rate hikes, which has lined up with weaker Bitcoin prices, according to Grayscale’s Zach Pandl. Higher rates keep investors in safer bets, not crypto. Heavy leverage in the sector has also fueled swings and stress. But some analysts still call for a rally to $100,000 by year-end on more institutional interest and industry tailwinds.

Greggs LSE:GRG and BRP TSX:DOO Trade Higher as Oil Slides
July 12, 2026, 4:59 AM EDT. Oil prices are down as ceasefire talks and OPEC+ production plans hit the market, sending investors into value and consumer discretionary names set to benefit from lower energy costs. Greggs LSE:GRG, the UK high street bakery chain with a £1.6 billion market cap, is in the mix, but has to watch its margins and UK-heavy footprint.

Investors are weighing the moves as inflation holds at 4.2% and rate decisions remain in focus.

Lion (TSE:4912) Pushes Oral Care Gains as Investors Weigh Risks
July 12, 2026, 4:45 AM EDT. Lion Corporation (TSE:4912) is chasing growth from its Oral Health Care business, aiming for 8% annual gains in revenue and margins. Shares fell 2.48% recently, but the name has a 15.83% total return over one year and trades about 14.8% below the ¥1,960 fair value mark. Some investors question if market caution is legitimate, with concerns overseas could stall and higher-margin products may not deliver. Lion’s earnings multiple is still above rivals, which leaves the growth story looking mixed. The 5-year total return dropped 5.69%, pointing to uneven progress. Analysts say to watch fundamentals and keep an eye on global plays as Lion angles for a reset.

Nifty 50 Under Pressure as Strait of Hormuz Shuts, Oil Prices Jump
July 12, 2026, 4:44 AM EDT.Indian equities are likely to stay volatile after Iran shut the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off a key oil route in the wake of US strikes. Oil prices shot higher, raising concerns for India, a major crude importer. The Nifty 50 index just lost its four-week run, Sensex fell 0.25% and Nifty dropped 0.26%. Banking and IT earnings have helped cushion the drop. But if crude sticks above $80 a barrel, oil marketing, airlines, and paint stocks could take a hit. Nifty’s support is seen around 23,800-24,000-below that could bring more selling. Bank Nifty has held up, and clearing 58,800 could target 60,000 next. Investors are wary, watching oil and macro data for direction in the days ahead.

Jefferies Says NSE IPO Would Lift Governance, Draw Investors
July 12, 2026, 4:43 AM EDT. Jefferies said in a report that a potential IPO of the National Stock Exchange would round out India’s market infra set with NSE, CDSL, and BSE all publicly traded. Listing would support transparency, governance and price discovery, and could allow NSE to get into MSCI and FTSE indices, pulling in more global investors. Jefferies also said a share sale could help re-rate capital market stock valuations and give NSE more room for tech spending and growth. But the report noted that regulators need to clear up the co-location case before any deal can happen. Jefferies called the listing a possible driver for deeper markets, more retail flows, and a stronger case for India as a financial center.

Meta (META) Jumps as Analysts Keep Bullish View, But AI Costs Loom for 2026
July 12, 2026, 4:32 AM EDT. Meta shares rose 4.7% to $631.48 after strong Q1 numbers, with revenue up 33% to $56.3 billion and net income up 61%. Ad business drove the gains, as ad revenue also jumped 33%. Meta’s Q2 forecast calls for $58-$61 billion in revenue, lifted by firm ad demand and better AI efficiency. Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs kept upbeat ratings, putting 12-month targets near $840. But there are worries over AI infrastructure spending, which could hit $125-$145 billion in 2026 and put pressure on free cash flow. Meta’s plans to sell extra computing power through cloud could help, but investors are watching to see if these bets pay off soon, even with solid numbers and bullish calls.

Toyota (TSE:7203) DCF Flags 41.5% Overvaluation After Strong Run
July 12, 2026, 4:31 AM EDT. Toyota Motor Co (TSE:7203) has gained 64.8% in five years, but valuation signals are now mixed. Discounted Cash Flow puts the shares about 41.5% overvalued, with heavy investment-like the US$3.6 billion Tacoma expansion in Texas-factoring into the call. Earnings multiples paint the stock as relatively cheap. Toyota delivered a 16.0% return last year even as global sales slowed and rivalry picked up. Between big spending and low free cash flow, analysts warn the price sits well above fair value.

Bitcoin, Ether Hold Steady After U.S. Hits Iran as Oil Traders Wait for Monday
July 12, 2026, 4:30 AM EDT.Bitcoin and Ether barely moved after the latest U.S. strikes on Iran, a quiet reaction compared with moves after the Strait of Hormuz closure in March. Back then, Brent crude oil jumped above $100 a barrel. But this time, with oil and stocks shut for the weekend, crypto was the only market trading. Oil’s reaction will show up on Monday. Hormuz handles about 20% of world seaborne oil, so crude could see a risk premium. The main question is if oil gaps up next session while bitcoin stays flat, showing traders might see Tehran’s warning as just talk.
