$AMZN - AWS MOMENTUM DRIVES AMAZON PT HIKE
Wells Fargo raised Amazon's price target to $313 from $312 while maintaining its Overweight rating.
The firm expects AWS growth to accelerate on strong AI demand, expanding compute capacity, and improving pricing power. While Prime Day timing may weigh on near-term revenue, Wells Fargo believes Amazon's cloud leadership and AI investments support stronger earnings and long-term upside.

JUNE JOBS REPORT IN FOCUS
Markets expect the U.S. to have added 114,000 jobs in June, down from 172,000 in May, with unemployment seen at 4.3%.
A resilient labor market could keep the Fed cautious on rate cuts, while a weaker-than-expected report may boost easing hopes. Economists expect limited market reaction unless payrolls or wage growth significantly exceed forecasts.

GOLDMAN: INVESTORS TRIM BIG TECH EXPOSURE
Goldman Sachs says investors are reducing exposure to the Magnificent Seven as they favor AI beneficiaries, such as semiconductor companies, over hyperscalers funding heavy AI spending.
The bank believes markets are rewarding companies generating returns from AI investments while questioning those bearing the costs. Until hyperscalers show stronger earnings growth, caution toward mega-cap tech is likely to persist.

JPM: AI CHIP RALLY MAY BE HARD TO SUSTAIN
JPMorgan says AI chip stocks may struggle to keep outperforming hyperscalers over the long term.
The bank expects either stronger AI monetization will help cloud providers catch up, or heavy AI spending could eventually curb hyperscaler capex and weaken chip demand. While JPM favors the positive scenario, slowing capex forecasts remain a key risk for semiconductor stocks.

SAUDI OIL EXPORTS SURGE AFTER HORMUZ REOPENS
Saudi Arabia is shipping its most crude through the Strait of Hormuz since the U.S.-Iran truce reopened the waterway.
Four Bahri supertankers carrying about 8 million barrels have exited the Gulf, signaling higher exports. The increase follows Saudi Aramco's recent spot sales to Asia and reflects improving regional shipping flows as OPEC's top producer ramps up exports.

HORMUZ SHIPPING STABILIZES, UNCERTAINTY REMAINS
Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has recovered to an average of 40 vessel crossings per day, according to Kpler.
Shipping rebounded after recent attacks disrupted transit, but uncertainty persists over who controls passage. Iran claims authority over the strait, while the U.S. says no country has the right to restrict navigation.

TRUMP: U.S. PAYS TOO MUCH FOR NATO
President Trump said the U.S. spends far more on NATO than any other member while receiving little in return.
He cited $999 billion in U.S. defense spending versus $90.5 billion for the U.K., $66.5 billion for France, $48.8 billion for Italy, and $44.3 billion for Poland, calling the imbalance "ridiculous."
