Yesterday's three numbers: top gainer Oil Baron Energy (XONM) +9.64%; top decliner Milemark Digital (MRAX) -8.21%; most active Coreforge Graphics (NVHD) at 1.28B CC.
Yesterday's headlines: Institutions across the city raise their AI computing spending plans in unison; A key port shuts down and manufacturing deliveries across the city slip; The city tightens mortgage and development-loan rules; Several Consumer companies complete first-wave rollouts of new products; Several Internet & Software companies see usage dip after new releases; Several Tech Hardware companies carry channel inventory above comfortable levels.

End of brief. Good trading.
