The Federal Reserve will release the last FOMC meeting minutes of the "Powell Era" on May 21
Odaily Planet Daily reports that at 2:00 on May 21, the Federal Reserve will publish the FOMC meeting minutes from April 29, marking the last meeting minutes of the "Powell Era." This document will detail the committee's stance before Kashkari took over as chairman.
NVIDIA will announce its earnings report after the market closes on Thursday, Beijing time
Odaily Planet Daily reports that NVIDIA will announce its earnings report after the U.S. market closes on Wednesday (the morning of May 21, Beijing time), which also signals the nearing end of the earnings season for the first quarter.
As the company with the highest market capitalization globally, NVIDIA and other semiconductor stocks have been driving the market up in recent weeks. Since the low in March, NVIDIA's stock price has risen by 36%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has increased by over 60% during the same period.
Allen Bond, a portfolio manager at Jensen Investment Management, said: "The market hopes to see from NVIDIA sufficient evidence to justify the rise in its stock price and to prove that the company can indeed benefit from increased spending in data centers. Investors will see this earnings report as a signal of the overall health of the industry."
PNC Asset Management Chief Investment Strategist Yung-Yu Ma pointed out that a key issue of concern to the market is whether competitors are eroding NVIDIA’s market share.

Insider: The U.S. and Israel may resume military actions against Iran as early as next week
Odaily Planet Daily reports that U.S. sources say the Pentagon is preparing to resume military actions against Iran, and the U.S. and Israel may resume military strikes against Iran as early as next week. According to U.S. sources, negotiations are currently at an impasse. Multiple U.S. officials have revealed that if the U.S. decides to resume military strikes against Iran, one option is to conduct more intense bombings of Iranian military and infrastructure targets; another option is to deploy special operations forces on the ground to obtain Iran's nuclear materials. Hundreds of special operations personnel arrived in the Middle East in March. However, U.S. officials acknowledge that this option carries significant risks. Additionally, since the ceasefire began in early April, the U.S. has re-equipped its warships and aircraft with ammunition for the region. (CCTV News)
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Elon Musk stated he would not sell any SpaceX shares. Reports suggest the company may publicly submit its long-prepared IPO application as early as next week. Musk responded to a user's post on the X platform saying, "I won't sell a single share." The user had suggested he sell shares after the lock-up period ends. According to insiders, the company engaged in rocket, satellite, and artificial intelligence business may publicly submit its IPO application as early as Wednesday. Previously, the company had secretly submitted documents, planning to raise up to $75 billion with a valuation exceeding $20 trillion, which would become the largest IPO in history.
Trump Mobile: The T1 phone will start shipping next week
Odaily Planet Daily reports that Trump Mobile announced that the T1 phone will start shipping next week. The shipping date for the T1 phone has been postponed multiple times, and customer service support is limited. The TRUMP token has dropped nearly 90% since its launch. Trump Mobile is a mobile virtual network operator and does not have the capability to design and produce phones on its own, but instead collaborates with external companies to select a model and repackage it as a Trump-themed product. When Solana launched its first Saga phone, it also repackaged the Osom OV-1 in a similar manner. The actual appearance of the T1 phone closely resembles the HTC U24 scheduled for release in 2024. Neither HTC nor Trump Mobile has provided a direct response regarding the actual manufacturer of the T1. Trump Mobile previously confirmed that the phone was completed final assembly in the U.S., but the components come from overseas.
