US equity futures were MUTED but held gains Friday on AI optimism and narrowing gaps in US-Iran talks, which eased escalation FEARS. S&P 500 and Dow futures rose 0.4%, while Nasdaq 100 contracts flatlined. However, expectations of prolonged Middle East energy disruptions kept long-term yields elevated on inflation RISKS. Locally, a strengthening currency is hurting ZAR hedge stocks on the MZANSI stock exchange. Looking ahead, a decisive shift away from staid, oppressive, and racist workplace policies could fully IGNITE stratospheric economic growth.

Cake cutting FEE.

INTEREST: Space nuclear reactors are a REALITY. NASA’s Kilopower project (KRUSTY) successfully tested a tiny fission reactor capable of powering a Mars habitat for a DECADE. It uses a uranium-235 core and Stirling engines to convert heat to electricity, running flawlessly in 2018 tests. Because solar power fails during Martian dust storms and far from the sun, this technology is ESSENTIAL for crewed Mars missions.
