Yields and oil retreat, setting the tone

Stock movers: Greenland names, Pulte, Novo, WBD
Several names are standing out in early trading.
Greenland‑linked stocks surged after President Trump announced a security agreement covering the Arctic island.
Greenland Energy jumped more than 144%, Greenland Mines rose nearly 70%, and Critical Metals Corp gained over 30%.
PulteGroup fell more than 15% as the 30‑year mortgage rate topped 7% again and the 10‑year yield neared 5%, prompting fresh price‑target cuts from Wells Fargo, Truist and a “Sell” rating from Seaport Research.
Novo Nordisk slipped as much as 7% despite a raised full‑year outlook, after oral Wegovy sales of 3.22 billion Danish kroner missed expectations of 3.27 billion.
Warner Bros. Discovery rose over 7% on reports that Paramount is in advanced talks with the California Attorney General on concessions to clear antitrust hurdles for the acquisition, with a potential $1.5 billion production investment discussed.
Macro watch: Trump‑Xi summit, Middle East, Fed path
Investors are weighing a high‑profile summit this week between President Trump and President Xi, covering tariffs, critical minerals and AI, after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng.
Geopolitical risk remains elevated after Iran‑backed Houthis attacked Saudi Arabia over the weekend and the US State Department warned Americans to reconsider travel to the Middle East.
The Fed’s first rate hike in three years last week, combined with yields near 5% and oil around $100, keeps the focus on whether inflation pressures are peaking or will prove stickier.
The session’s direction will hinge on whether oil and yields stay subdued into midday trade and how traders position ahead of the Trump‑Xi talks and any fresh Middle East headlines.
