🐦The Twitter-Killer

$META, the parent company behind Instagram and Facebook, has entered the messaging arena with its sizzling new app, Threads! 🔥 

This text-focused messaging platform aims to entice users who've grown weary of Elon Musk's unpredictable Twitter ownership.

Available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play, Threads has set a record reaching almost 100 million users in 48 hours 🚀.

Within 24 hours of launching Elon Musk has already sued, for stealing employees to make a copy-cat product.

Our Spicy Take 🌶️ We discussed this in our recent newsletter with $AAPL, and our opinion is still the same. Profit-rich tech giants, newly powered by AI, are set to maintain their dominance and rapidly boost revenue.

With 3 billion Facebook users, $META has the ability to swiftly conquer any new social media platform, as they have done historically.

The introduction of the Threads app further solidifies their position as advertising leaders, turning it into a lucrative money-making machine.

🪙Jobs Surge / Rates Next?

In June, private companies tossed in a whopping 497K jobs, surpassing economists' expectations and hitting the highest level since February 2022. The leisure and hospitality sector led the charge, adding 232K jobs, while construction and trade, transportation, and utilities followed suit.

But hold the guacamole! Despite the job surge, wages are growing at a snail's pace, marking their slowest increase since 2021. On the bright side, those staying put in their current positions enjoyed a respectable 6.4% raise compared to the previous year.

Our Spicy Take 🌶️ Before you get too comfortable, be prepared for potential pain ahead. The Fed has been dropping hints about rate hikes, and a robust labor market only adds fuel to that fire.

The FedWatch Tool is giving a whopping 92% chance of a rate increase at the upcoming July 26 meeting. So, keep those rate hikes on your radar as you navigate the markets! 🌯

• First Target: 36.00 = Middle of the range

• Second Target: 32.00 = Low of the range

• Stop Loss: 42-44 = Previous week’s high
