SpaceX in focus as Russell index inclusion brings $2.68 billion demand, short interest up

SpaceX in focus as Russell index inclusion brings $2.68 billion demand, short interest up

SpaceX is heading into Friday’s Russell index rebalance with a 31.5% drop from its post-IPO peak, putting pressure on supply. The shares slipped 1% Wednesday to $154.54, but remain 14.5% higher than their $135 IPO price. SpaceX’s market cap stood at around $2.03 trillion. Jefferies Financial Group is projecting that funds tracking Russell indexes may end up buying $2.68 billion in SpaceX shares, which would amount to around 17.3 million shares at Wednesday’s close. “The options activity has gotten more balanced. It’s not as completely euphoric as it was day one,” Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers Group, said.

Social Security payment set for June 24, next month’s schedule moves

Social Security payment set for June 24, next month’s schedule moves

The U.S. Social Security Administration will send out its final June payment on Wednesday. This payment goes to people with birthdays from the 21st to the 31st, the fourth-Wednesday group listed on the agency’s 2026 calendar. The agency says to wait three extra mailing days before calling if the payment doesn’t show up. Social Security payments for most people who started getting benefits after May 1997 are set by birth date. Payments land the second Wednesday if the birthday falls between the 1st and 10th, the third Wednesday if it’s the 11th to 20th, and the fourth Wednesday for the 21st to 31st. For those collecting on another person’s record, the Social Security Administration takes the worker’s birthday as the reference, AS USA said.

NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) Slips as Traders Eye Tight Levels Ahead of Next AI Test

Nvidia stays under $5 trillion as chip stocks drag and Micron test next

  • Theravance Biopharma (TBPH) Slides 3% After $929M Zymeworks (ZYME) Deal Announced
    June 30, 2026, 10:24 AM EDT. Theravance Biopharma (TBPH) shares slipped about 3% on June 29, 2026, after Zymeworks (ZYME) said it would buy the company in an all-cash deal valued at around $929 million. The deal is set to close in H2 2026. Theravance went up for sale after its main drug, ampreloxetine, missed in Phase III trials. Most of Theravance's revenue came from a single COPD collaboration. The buyout gives shareholders $17 per share, which is a 22% premium to the March 3 close, plus CVRs linked to future ampreloxetine proceeds. Management called the move the best route for shareholder value as operational cuts and slow growth continue. Theravance has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
