Presented by Kalshi: Think you know what Trump will say this week? Will he say “crypto”? Or, how about “Karoline”? What about “Who are you with”? Turn your takes into trades and claim a $20 bonus today.

A weekend takeover bombshell is doing most of the work in premarket, with a legacy retailer's surprise bid for a marketplace name forcing both sides of the deal to move sharply in opposite directions. Crypto platforms are also catching a bid after a bipartisan breakthrough in Washington gave the long-stalled market structure bill its clearest path forward yet.

On the other side of the tape, a cruise operator's forward guidance is bearing the brunt of higher fuel costs tied to the U.S.-Iran war, and a biopharma is getting punished for a wider-than-expected loss.

Every word from Donald Trump can move markets—crypto, policy, press briefings, and beyond.

On Kalshi, you can trade real-time prediction markets on what Trump will say next, from Bitcoin mentions to White House press room moments.

When the market prices in the next headline, you’ll already be there.

eBay (EBAY): +8%

The online marketplace is surging after GameStop dropped a Sunday bombshell, an unsolicited, non-binding offer to buy eBay for roughly $55.5 billion. CEO Ryan Cohen pitched the merger as a way to build a real challenger to Amazon (AMZN), and the market is taking the offer seriously enough to send eBay sharply higher.

Circle (CRCL): +6%

Crypto names are catching a bid after Senators Thom Tillis and Angela Alsobrooks reached a bipartisan weekend agreement on key language in the CLARITY Act, the long-debated crypto market structure bill.

Lumentum (LITE): +4%

The photonics name is rising after Rothschild & Co Redburn launched coverage with a buy rating, citing AI data center networking as a major tailwind. Higher optical content per rack is exactly the kind of structural demand story the market has been rewarding.

Tyson Foods (TSN): +1.7%

The Jimmy Dean and Hillshire Farm parent beat on both the top and bottom line for its fiscal second quarter. After a stretch of margin pressure across packaged protein, a clean beat is enough to remind the market that this is still a cash-flow story.

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH): -6.7%

The cruise operator beat on Q1 earnings, but forward guidance is the real problem. Higher fuel costs tied to the U.S.-Iran war are squeezing the margins, and management's outlook for the current quarter and full year came in well below what the street wanted to see.

Axsome Therapeutics (AXSM): -2.5%

The biopharma posted a wider-than-expected Q1 loss while revenue came in line. For a name where the bull case rests on disciplined commercial execution, a deeper loss is the kind of detail that gets punished.

GameStop (GME): -2.2%

The flip side of the eBay move. GameStop's $55.5 billion unsolicited bid is being read as a stretch by the market, and shareholders are voting accordingly. Cohen has been clear about wanting to take on Amazon, but acquiring eBay is a far bigger swing than anything GameStop has attempted.

The Fed doesn’t just move rates—it moves markets. Every cut, pause, or surprise decision reshapes stocks, bonds, real estate, and your portfolio.

On Kalshi, you can trade real-time markets on how many rate cuts the Fed will make in 2026 and position yourself before policy decisions become headlines.

Don’t wait for the announcement—trade where the market thinks rates are headed next.

Etsy (ETSY)

Retail traders spent the weekend war-gaming GameStop's $55.5 billion swing at eBay and concluded that Cohen aimed too high. The cleaner target circulating across Stocktwits and X is Etsy: smaller, niche-commerce focused, and a much more digestible bite for a company with roughly $9 billion in cash. Michael Burry himself floated the name on X as a more realistic acquisition path for GameStop alongside Roku and Wayfair.

Etsy hasn't moved yet, but a single tweet, deal rumor, or 13D filing could change that quickly. With M&A speculation suddenly back on the table for marketplace names, this is the kind of setup that can either fizzle or rip without warning.

✌️That’s it for today.
