Und besonders spannend dabei ist immer: Wie sieht das Artwork aus? Inzwischen bekommen auch viele Karten in neuen Sets alternative Illustrationen oder begehrte Staples werden als Secret Lair neu gedruckt.

Markets posted a fourth straight day of gains, reclaiming the 20-DMA and pushing back toward all-time highs—with the Dow breaking above 48,000 for the first time. The bullish trend remains intact as a momentum buy signal sits on the verge of triggering. Under the surface, rotation is driving the story. Healthcare continues to outperform, even outpacing Tech. Staples are starting to recover from deeply oversold levels, with a potential momentum shift if they clear the 20- and 50-DMA. Finance is improving from oversold conditions with strengthening relative strength. Meanwhile, Disney beat earnings and boosted buybacks, though content remains its weak spot. Amazon continues to support Consumer Discretionary, but strip it out, and activity slows noticeably. If this rotation out of Tech continues, these beaten-down sectors could help push markets even higher into the end of the week.

In “Beyond the Rate: Why Accuracy, Transparency and Context Matter”, Joe Lynch and Dawn Salvucci-Favier, President of Triumph, discuss how accuracy, transparency, and network connectivity are the new drivers for precision and confidence in the logistics industry. About Dawn Favier Dawn Salvucci-Favier serves as President of Triumph's Intelligence segment following the acquisition of Greenscreens.ai in May 2025. She brings more than 30 years of leadership experience in transportation management and logistics technology. Prior to joining Triumph, Ms. Salvucci-Favier served as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Product Officer of Greenscreens.ai, a dynamic pricing infrastructure solution for the logistics industry. Throughout her career, she has led global product strategy and management at several major transportation management system (TMS) providers, including Manugistics, JDA Software, Shippers Commonwealth, RedPrairie (now Blue Yonder), and 3Gtms.

About Triumph Triumph is a financial and technology company specializing in payments, factoring, intelligence, and banking. The company is pioneering innovative solutions within the transportation industry, delivering unmatched precision, secure and transparent transactions, and enhanced working capital to its customers through the Triumph brand. Driven by the Triumph Network—a platform dedicated to modernizing and simplifying freight transactions—Triumph empowers its customers to Transact Confidently. Key Takeaways: Beyond the Rate: Why Accuracy, Transparency and Context Matter In “Beyond the Rate: Why Accuracy, Transparency and Context Matter”, Joe Lynch and Dawn Salvucci-Favier, President of Triumph, discuss how accuracy, transparency, and network connectivity are the new drivers for precision and confidence in the logistics industry. The Convergence of Finance and Intelligence: The acquisition of dynamic pricing infrastructure expert Greenscreens.ai by the financial and technology company Triumph highlights a critical shift: the future of transportation is driven by combining secure financial transactions with AI-powered market intelligence for unmatched precision. Accuracy is the New Rate: Relying on static or historical rates is no longer sufficient. Accuracy in pricing requires a real-time, dynamic pricing infrastructure (Greenscreens.ai's specialty) to minimize risk, ensure profitability, and provide a true competitive advantage "Beyond the Rate." Transparency Builds Trust (and Capital): As emphasized by the Triumph Network, Transparency in freight transactions—through secure and precise operations—is essential. This level of clarity fosters trust among partners and directly results in enhanced working capital for customers. The Power of 30-Year Experience: Dawn Salvucci-Favier's three decades of leadership across major Transportation Management System (TMS) providers (like JDA, Blue Yonder, and 3Gtms) and logistics operations provide the unique operational perspective needed to build technology that truly solves the industry's biggest pain points. 'Contacts' is Now 'Network': The traditional value of personal Contacts is being amplified by robust digital networks. The Triumph Network exemplifies this evolution, acting as the essential platform to modernize and simplify the complex interactions and transactions between all parties in the freight ecosystem. Technology Must Deliver Financial Outcomes: Dawn's career trajectory, from logistics operations to leading product strategy, underscores that successful logistics technology must move beyond simple workflow management and deliver concrete financial benefits, such as better pricing precision and optimized working capital. The Holistic Differentiator: The ultimate competitive edge is no longer achieved by focusing on a single metric (like the lowest rate). It is the strategic and integrated combination of technological Accuracy, financial Transparency, and deep industry Contacts (human and digital) that allows companies to "Transact Confidently."

Get first access and exclusive content by subscribing at https://thisisreno.com/subscribe/Burner trashPost‑Burning Man garbage littering northern Nevada generated a lot of online chatter. It appears the Burn's longstanding “leave‑no‑trace” ethos has morphed into mass dumping of garbage at places like WalMart and Staples. While the event still injects cash into the local economy — airfare, hotels, retail, etc. — some say the financial benefits may be outweighing the environmental fallout.Ribs and tariffsAfter numerous comments bemoaning the prices at the annual rib fest, Kristen did a deep dive into pork market data. She found a near‑20 % jump in St. Louis‑style rib costs over the past year. Trump tariffs on Canadian piglets and feed, and broader supply‑chain pressures that have been nudging food prices upward for several years, account for high rib prices. That's causing some folks to grill in their own backyards instead of getting their samplers from Rasta Joe's.Can parking tickets rescue the city's budget situation?By reconnecting its ticketing system to the DMV, the city of Reno unearthed — think of the bureaucratic equivalent of Raiders of the Lost Ark — thousands of old parking citations, raking in roughly $265,000 in just two months. But at least one motorist received a city-issued parking ticket dating back to 2021 for a car he had sold the year prior. The situation was further muddied by a recent state‑wide cyber‑attack, including on the DMV, which delayed processing. Alas, the city is so far in the hole, because of lack of tax revenue and dramatically increased costs in recent years, particularly on employee salaries, that the cash infusion is only a drop in the bucket.The ‘state of the county' was propagandaWashoe County's “State of the County” meeting resembled a glossy PR reel more than a substantive overview of what's going on at the county. Critics noted glaring omissions: no discussion of the CARES campus, homelessness initiatives, crime statistics or upcoming fire‑service consolidations. About that fire stationMeanwhile, residents of west Washoe Valley have a fire‑station deficit. Building a new station could cost upwards of $17 million — a sum the financially strapped Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District can't secure, despite attempts at state and federal grants.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 10: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump ain't dead, and neither is his cover-up of the Epstein Files. The TRUMPStein Files. And if you gave him a script and told him what to do to RE-IGNITE the Trumpstein Tire Fire every time it begins to go out, it would start with: A) leak an anonymous statement to Republicans considering signing the Massie Discharge Petition to force release of the real files B) make sure that statement read as much likely a slightly sanded down threat from a mafia boss as possible, like, oooh, quote: "Helping Thomas Massie and Liberal Democrats with their attention-seeking, while the DOJ is fully supporting a more comprehensive file release effort from the Oversight Committee, would be viewed as a very hostile act to the administration. C) actually release only the same documents Pam Bondi released to the Libs of TikTok worm Chayik and the DC Draino dipshit in those $2.69 thin three-ring binders they bought at Staples in February D) send a military flyover to try to drown out the Epstein survivors’ news conference on the steps of the capitol E) choose THIS moment to ask the Supreme Court to overturn where the court found him GUILTY of being LIABLE FOR SEXUAL ABUSE of E. Jean Carroll and of DEFAMING a sexual abuse victim and of course F) sit there as THIS actual bona fide excellent comprehensive question is rolled out in front of world media when you can only come back with an answer that makes everybody think “wait, he said THAT? Maybe he IS dead and he just forgot to lie down.” WHERE WAS TRUMP LAST WEEK? We know the media won't probe. We can assume the following: he wasn't dead. He also wasn't at a psychiatrist to help him get past these hallucinations that he 'turned the water on' in California or solved seven wars (including, no doubt, The War Of The Planet Of The Apes). He also wasn't at a political retreat figuring out what to do about New York other than pull Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa out of it to make sure it's a Trump Referendum in a city that's 75% registered Democrats. Plus, the unusual but all-too-plausible explanation for what is really behind the RFK Jr/MAGA hatred of the Covid vaccine that saved their lives but won't, next time. B-Block (33:05) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: It's bad enough that Stephen A. Smith doesn't see he's risking his career by diving into politics. But in a time of rampant gun violence against children and politicians, he's chosen to name his new political show "STRAIGHT SHOOTER." A great line from a conservative about how Trump was just caught literally about losing his marbles. And Laura Loomer blasts the foreign-born judge who thwarted Trump's child-trafficking and demanding we have no more foreign-born judges. You mean like Aileen Cannon, moron? C-Block (45:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The relentlessly principle-free Joe Scarborough has done it again: whored himself out to Trump, demanding JB Pritzer "partner up" with the dictator on militarizing the streets of Chicago. Scarborough has been getting away with this at MSNBC for 23 years. It's his life (if you call getting up at 4 AM every day to find some new part of democracy you can sell out for cash, a "life").See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Original Release Date: July 11, 2025As U.S. retailers manage the impacts of increased tariffs, they have taken a number of approaches to avoid raising prices for customers. Our Head of Corporate Strategy Andrew Sheets and our Head of U.S. Consumer Retail and Credit Research Jenna Giannelli discuss whether they can continue to do so.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Head of Corporate Credit Research at Morgan Stanley.Jenna Giannelli: And I'm Jenna Giannelli, Head of U.S. Consumer and Retail Credit Research.Andrew Sheets: And today on the podcast, we're going to dig into one of the biggest conundrums in the market today. Where and when are tariffs going to show up in prices and margins?It's Friday, July 11th at 10am in New York.Jenna, it's great to catch up with you today because I think you can really bring some unique perspective into one of the biggest puzzles that we're facing in the market today. Even with all of these various pauses and delays, the U.S. has imposed historically large tariffs on imports. And we're seeing a rapid acceleration in the amount of money collected from those tariffs by U.S. customs. These are real hard dollars that importers – or somebody else – are paying. Yet we haven't seen these tariffs show up to a significant degree in official data on prices – with recent inflation data relatively modest. And overall stock and credit markets remain pretty strong and pretty resilient, suggesting less effect.So, are these tariffs just less impactful than expected, or is there something else going on here with timing and severity? And given your coverage of the consumer and retail sectors, which is really at the center of this tariff debate – what do you think is going on?Jenna Giannelli: So yes, this is a key question and one that is dominating a lot of our client conversations. At a high level, I'd point to a few things. First, there's a timing issue here. So, when tariffs were first announced, retailers were already sitting on three to four months worth of inventory, just due to natural industry lead times. And they were able to draw down on this product.This is mostly what they sold in 1Q and likely into 2Q, which is why you haven't seen much margin or pricing impact thus far. Companies – we also saw them start to stock up heavily on inventory before the tariffs and at the lower pause rate tariffs, which is the product you referenced that we're seeing coming in now. This is really going to help mitigate margin pressure in the second quarter that you still have this lower cost inventory flowing through.On top of this timing consideration, retailers – we've just seen utilizing a range of mitigation measures, right? So, whether it's canceled or pause shipments from China, a shifting production mix or sourcing exposure in the short run, particularly before the pause rate on China. And then really leaning into just whether it's product mix shifts, cost savings elsewhere in the PNL, and vendor negotiations, right? They're really leaning into everything in their toolbox that they can.Pricing too has been talked about as something that is an option, but the option of last resort. We have heard it will be utilized, but very tactically and very surgically, as we think about the back half of the year. When you put this all together, how much impact is it having? On average from retailers that we heard from in the first quarter, they thought they would be able to mitigate about half of the expected tariff headwind, which is actually a bit better than we were expecting.Finally, I'll just comment on your comment regarding market performance. While you're right in that the overall equity and credit markets have held up well, year-to-date, retail equities and credit have fared worse than their respective indices. What's interesting, actually, is that credit though has significantly outperformed retail equities, which is a relationship we think should converge or correct as we move throughout the balance of the year.Andrew Sheets: So, Jenna, retailers saw this coming. They've been pulling various levers to mitigate the impact. You mentioned kind of the last lever that they want to pull is prices, raising prices, which is the macro thing that we care about. The thing that would actually show up in inflation.How close are we though to kind of running out of other options for these guys? That is, the only thing left is they can start raising prices?Jenna Giannelli: So closer is what I would say. We're likely not going to see a huge impact in 2Q, more likely as we head into 3Q and more heavily into the all-important fourth quarter holiday season. This is really when those higher cost goods are going to be flowing through the PNL and retailers need to offset this as they've utilized a lot of their other mitigation strategies. They've moved what they could move. They've negotiated where they could, they've cut where they could cut. And again, as this last step, it will be to try and raise price.So, who's going to have the most and least success? In our universe, we think it's going to be more difficult to pass along price in some of the more historically deflationary categories like apparel and footwear. Outside of what is a really strong brand presence, which in our universe, historically hasn't been the case.Also, in some of the higher ticket or more durable goods categories like home goods, sporting goods, furniture, we think it'll be challenging as well here to pass along higher costs. Where it's going to be less of an issue is in our Staples universe, where what we'd put is less discretionary categories like Beauty, Personal Care, which is part of the reason why we've been cautious on retail, and neutral and consumer products when we think about sector allocation.Andrew Sheets: And when do you think this will show up? Is it a third quarter story? A fourth quarter story?Jenna Giannelli: I think this is going to really start to show up in the third quarter, and more heavily into the fourth quarter, the all-important holiday season.Andrew Sheets: Yeah, and I think that's what's really interesting about the impact of this backup to the macro. Again, returning to the big picture is I think one of the most important calls that Morgan Stanley economists have is that inflation, which has been coming down somewhat so far this year is going to pick back up in August and September and October. And because it's going to pick back up, the Federal Reserve is not going to cut interest rates anymore this year because of that inflation dynamic.So, this is a big debate in the market. Many investors disagree. But I think what you're talking about in terms of there are some very understandable reasons, maybe why prices haven't changed so far. But that those price hikes could be coming have real macroeconomic implications.So, you know, maybe though, something to just close on – is to bring this to the latest headlines. You know, we're now back it seems, in a market where every day we log onto our screens, and we see a new headline of some new tariff being announced or suggested towards countries. Where do you think those announcements, so far are relative to what retailers are expecting – kind of what you think is in guidance?Jenna Giannelli: Sure. So, look what we've seen of late; the recent tariff headlines are certainly higher or worse, I think, than what investors in management teams were expecting. For Vietnam, less so; I'd say it was more in line. But for most elsewhere, in Asia, particularly Southeast Asia, the rates that are set to go in effect on August 1st, as we now understand them, are higher or worse than management teams were expecting.Recall that while guidance did show up in many flavors in the first quarter, so whether withdrawn guidance or lowered guidance. For those that did factor in tariffs to their guide, most were factoring in either pause rate tariffs or tariff rates that were at least lower than what was proposed on Liberation Day, right?So, what's the punchline here? I think despite some of the revisions we've already seen, there are more to come. To put some numbers around this, if we look at our group of retail consumer cohort, credits, consensus expectations for calling for EBITDA in our universe to be down around 5 percent year-over-year. If we apply tariff rates as we know them today for a half-year headwind starting August 1st, this number should be down around 15 percent year-over-year on a gross basis…Andrew Sheets: So, three times as much.Jenna Giannelli: Pretty significant. Exactly. And so, while there might be mitigation efforts, there might be some pricing passed along, this is still a pretty significant delta between where consensus is right now and what we know tariff rates to be today – could imply for earnings in the second half.Andrew Sheets: Jenna, thanks for taking the time to talk.Jenna Giannelli: My pleasure. Thank you.Andrew Sheets: And thank you as always for your time. If you find Thoughts to the Market useful, let us know by leaving a review wherever you listen.
