The Open Bell — Ep. 009 — 7 Jul 2026
Today on The Open Bell:
SpaceX joined the Nasdaq-100 this morning, which means the index funds sitting in millions of retirement accounts had no choice but to buy $4.3 billion worth of Elon Musk's rocket company, because that's just how passive investing works.
OPEC+ has now hiked oil output three months in a row, WTI crude is below $68.65 a barrel, and if you're filling up this week you should actually notice the difference at the pump.
Foxconn, the company that assembles most of the world's iPhones, just reported a 40% revenue jump, and almost none of it came from smartphones.
If this helped you make sense of today, a five-star rating takes about ten seconds and helps a lot.
