A rare rate check by the New York Federal Reserve lifted the yen from recent lows and signalled heightened U.S.-Japan alignment on currency risks.

Dyne Therapeutics sits at an interesting intersection for biotech traders: a beaten-down-to-basing chart near $18, meaningful short interest, and a 2026 narrative tied to progress in genetically driven muscle diseases. With liquidity that looks more like a well-funded developer than a fragile microcap, the risk can be framed with a clean stop while…
Tokyo’s hints that it could join Washington in buying yen have provided short-term support, but historical experience and rising worries over Japan’s fiscal outlook mean any intervention may only temper, not reverse, the currency’s decline. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s snap election, driven by promises of expanded stimulus including a suspension…
U.S. stock futures moved in a narrow range as investors prepared for a busy corporate earnings calendar and a Federal Reserve policy decision.

Against this ba…

OPKO Health (OPK) sits in a weird place the market tends to misprice: a sub-$1.1B health services and biopharma hybrid with credible assets, real operating infrastructure, and a long history that has trained investors to shrug. At ~$1.30, the stock is priced like the future is mostly disappointment. But the setup says the opposite is plausible - va…
FLGT has rebounded enough that the stock no longer screams deep value, but valuation is still reasonable for a company with no debt, strong liquidity, and a chart that’s stabilizing. I like a defined-risk long trade into the $30-$31 area, with a tight stop under recent support.
