The Dallas-based Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE) will begin a phased live trading rollout starting Monday, opening first to TXSE members and gradually bringing thousands of stocks online for public trading over July. By Q3 it aims to list Exchange-Traded Products and by Q4 offer corporate listings, backed by about $275 million in startup funding, as it seeks to position Dallas as a national financial hub and provide a viable alternative to NYSE and NASDAQ with a digital platform and a Dallas presence.

SpaceX Options Debut Triggers Wild Trading and High Volatility

SpaceX's options began trading with strike prices from $25 to $380; traders expect a chaotic session with wide spreads and high implied volatility, driven by retail investors who are likely to buy calls and sell puts. Weekly expirations may boost near-term volumes, and SpaceX could become one of the most-traded options, a pattern some compare to Tesla.

Trump’s Trading Surge Outsizes Congress, Sparked Tax-Theory Debate

Slate Money reports that President Trump’s trading volume jumped roughly 10x quarter over quarter, with dollar terms exceeding all trading by Congress combined. One theory floated by host Felix Salmon is that changes in personal capital-gains tax exposure under the 2026 tax code could have unlocked more aggressive trading. The piece notes the STOCK Act requires disclosure but does not ban presidential or congressional stock trades, and it highlights headline risk, disclosure lag, and the market-moving potential of public statements as key takeaways while more data and policy reforms remain undecided.

Oil traders take billions in losses as Iran war unsettles markets

Oliver Wyman’s analysis finds commodity trading groups lost billions at the start of the Iran war after bets on falling energy prices misread the market; the surprise jump in Brent as ships were trapped and cargo replacements surged triggered heavy margin calls and losses on physical shipments, some of which have since been reversed for Vitol, Trafigura and Mercuria. Trading houses also boosted working capital (Vitol and Trafigura ~$3bn each; Gunvor ~$1.5bn). Last year’s industry earnings fell to about $92bn (the lowest since 2021), with metals trading up and oil desk profits down; baseline annual earnings are projected at $90-110bn excluding geopolitics.

The Shiny Mew Emblem: A Mega Shine Collecting Challenge

Pokémon Pocket's Mega Shine set centers on shiny cards; to unlock the Shiny Mew Secret Emblem you must collect all 30 Mega Shine shinies (including Immersive Mew), a feat made extremely difficult because shinies are rare—packs have six cards and shinies appear in about 5% of packs (roughly 1 in 20). Completing the collection yields a cosmetic blue Mew emblem on your profile, signaling rarity rather than gameplay power; it's likely out of reach for free-to-play players, though joining a trading group to swap duplicates can make the goal more feasible. Mega Shine features sought-after shinies like Mega Charizard X ex and Mega Gengar ex, plus visually striking forms such as Phantump/Trevenant, Ponyta with blue flames, and Axew/Haxorus; all shiny forms are new to this set.

Six plays to ride a post-war oil unwind

The piece outlines six trades to consider if/when the Iran conflict ends and Hormuz oil flow resumes: 1) short oil; 2) oil-sensitive equities (airlines, transports, cruises such as Carnival); 3) bet on disinflation and potential Fed rate cuts; 4) bet on global stocks (Japan, Germany) on energy stability; 5) short the USD; 6) trade gold depending on the outcome. The main driver is the oil price move, with a swift peace potentially pushing oil lower, while rates, currencies, and gold moves will hinge on the post-war macro backdrop.

Arc Raiders' meteoric rise unlocks Embark's bolder future

Arc Raiders has sold 12.4 million copies on Steam, and Embark Studios says the breakthrough gives the studio resources to pursue a bigger, more ambitious roadmap.
