MP Materials Drops 13.4% in June as China Adds It to Export-Control List; Magnet Production Now in Focus
July 6, 2026, 5:08 AM EDT. MP Materials shares slid 13.4% in June after being put on China’s export-control list. The move came even as the company reported zero Q1 2026 revenue from rare-earth concentrate. Instead, revenue from NdPr oxide and metal soared 192% to $71.1 million, as MP moved away from selling concentrate. Now, investors are watching for possible export-control impacts on equipment and parts, and whether that slows MP’s U.S. magnet production plans. MP’s market cap is about $9.49 billion, backed by U.S. government support aimed at boosting rare-earth supply for defense and manufacturing.

SpaceX Tackles Rising Satellite Disposal Costs as Nasdaq 100 Debut Nears
July 6, 2026, 5:07 AM EDT. SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX) has retired 609 Starlink satellites, about 5.7% of its fleet, according to an FCC filing detailing increased end-of-life costs. The company says 260 satellites will burn up from December 2025 through May 2026, with another 349 scheduled to exit. SpaceX’s focus on regular satellite replacement brings higher spending, pressuring its outlook. The stock is joining the Nasdaq 100 on July 7, which will mean $4.3 billion in passive flows coming in, even as shorts have climbed to 31% of available shares and valuation fears swirl. Pre-market, SpaceX is around $162, while it’s reportedly heading for a $4.9 billion loss next year and trades at a valuation way above Nvidia and other peers.

NVIDIA Nears $200 as Market Cap Faces $126 Billion Test after Chip Selloff
July 6, 2026, 5:06 AM EDT. NVIDIA (NVDA) ended at $194.83, now closing in on $200 a share. That price would add roughly $126 billion in market value, bringing it near $4.75 trillion. Shares slipped 1.4% last week after semis dropped ahead of the July 4th break. NVDA is still down 5% for the month, wiping $251 billion in cap. Q1 revenue, though, jumped 85% year over year to $81.6 billion, with 92% of the gain from data center. The market values NVDA at about 15.8 times annualized Q1 data center sales. Traders are still watching memory prices. SK Hynix aims for a U.S. IPO, Samsung gives a cautious U.S. view, and supply strains around AI remain tight. Jensen Huang said AI demand is moving fast and called Nvidia key to data centers.

SpaceX Set for Nasdaq-100; Funds May Snap Up Shares, but History Points to Only Brief Lift
July 6, 2026, 4:57 AM EDT. Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) is set to join the Nasdaq-100 index 15 trading days after its record-shattering IPO on June 12. The move means index funds like the $481 billion Invesco QQQ ETF will have to buy as much as $7 billion of SpaceX stock. With just 281.2 million shares available for trading, demand will run high. Still, the past shows that price pops after index inclusions usually don’t last. Investors tend to buy ahead of the addition, pushing prices up, then sell into the event, which often triggers a drop. So while SpaceX could see a quick bump when it joins the Nasdaq-100 on July 7, history says it probably won’t stick.

US Stock Futures Higher; Volatility Drops, Growth Sectors in Play
July 6, 2026, 4:54 AM EDT.US stock futures traded higher Monday, with S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures up 0.4% to 1.2%. The move comes after mixed global growth reports, as private sectors in Europe and Asia hovered near flat. The volatility index (VIX) slipped 2%, pointing to higher investor risk appetite. Small caps and cyclical names saw more interest, though defensive plays like utilities and real estate stayed active on shifting sentiment.

Wheaton Precious Metals TSX:WPM Valued 35% Below Estimate After Acquisition, Analysts Say
July 6, 2026, 4:53 AM EDT. Wheaton Precious Metals TSX:WPM is back in focus. A recent acquisition turned up just a 3% internal rate of return at US$70 silver, while silver is now trading under US$60. Shares have held up in the long run, gaining 33.86% over the past year and 225.89% in five years. Analysts raised their fair value target to CA$259.31, up from CA$190.41, and say the shares may be 35% undervalued versus Tuesday’s CA$168.27 close. That call comes with improved top-line outlook, higher margins, and richer P/E multiples for higher-growth names. Still, risks from new rivals, rule changes, and metal prices hang over the outlook. The stock’s current P/E of 29.9x is above the group, leaving little room for negative surprises if growth wobbles.

Analysts see the calm backdrop as good for further gains but remain cautious with earnings and geopolitical risk ahead.

Seraphim Space Investment Trust (LSE:SSIT) Added to FTSE 250, Eyes Growth in SpaceTech
July 6, 2026, 4:43 AM EDT. Seraphim Space Investment Trust (LSE:SSIT) has joined the FTSE 250, putting more attention on the trust from institutional investors. Its portfolio companies like ICEYE and HawkEye 360 have landed funding and reported revenue gains.

SSIT still works through financial challenges-its operating cash flow is negative and earnings have swung with changes in portfolio value. The trust carries no debt, leaving it with room to maneuver, but charts show little positive momentum in the short term. Seraphim is still the first listed SpaceTech trust, aiming to ride the global shift toward space-based infrastructure and services.

SpaceX Stock Lands in 148 ETFs, Hits Major Index Lists After IPO
July 6, 2026, 4:40 AM EDT. SpaceX stock has moved into 148 ETFs after its record-breaking IPO, based on data as of July 3. It’s now ranked as a top-15 position in 35 of those funds. The stock’s been picked up by key indexes like the Russell 1000 and MSCI USA, so major ETFs such as iShares Russell 1000 and Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF added SpaceX to their holdings. But float limits keep its weight light-less than 0.2% in most broad market funds. Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) and other S&P 500 trackers are still on the sidelines and won’t add SpaceX until 2027 or later. Still, investors are getting some SpaceX exposure through ETFs, even if they can’t buy shares outright.
