If you thought the markets were getting boring, think again—today’s headlines are reshaping commodities, chips, EVs and even the very direction of the S&P. Let’s dive into the five stories you can’t afford to miss. First, corn is making a comeback after the deepest one‑week liquidation on record. teucrium reports that fund managers dumped more than 120 000 contracts in the week ending June 9, turning a net‑long position of roughly 115 000 contracts into a net‑short of about 5 000 in a single breath.

The company unveiled the Dragonwing IQ10 at Computex, boasting 350 TOPS INT8 and a sparse‑peak of 700 TOPS—figures that could rival GPUs in power‑constrained devices. Revenue guidance now hinges on a $5 billion automotive AI line and growing IoT licensing, yet the robot revenue remains hidden inside the IoT bucket, leaving analysts scrambling for a clear valuation. In short, Qualcomm is betting that token‑per‑watt efficiency will fuel a new Snapdragon‑style boom, but the market hasn’t priced the robot upside yet. The electric‑vehicle sector, however, is in retreat. Business Insider notes that the end of the federal $7,500 tax credit in September 2025 triggered a 27 % Q1 2026 delivery drop, following a 46 % plunge in the preceding quarter. Major players—Ford, Nissan, Acura, Volkswagen—have already shelved flagship models, while Hyundai is pulling the standard
