Sunrise Futures saw a slight uptick today, with intraday prices moving from $45.20 to $46.05, driven by stronger commodity-linked equity sentiment. Analysts note that rising crude oil prices have boosted hedging demand, potentially keeping the momentum in place over the next week. Just in case you’re wondering, no, there is no Taylor Swift or Olivia Rodrigo vinyl this time around, so that may cut down a bit on line-cutters. But contemporary hit artists are still well-represented, including Post Malone, Benson Boone, GloRilla, Jelly Roll and Role Model. The way I see it is, we are living in a turbulent time—a ton is possible, for good or bad. Yes, the oligarchs are in formation, but we, too, are getting in formation. And, there are many more of us than there are of them. There are millions of us who are sick and tired of the status quo, who want good jobs, healthcare, lower rent, a four-day work week, and a stable planet. Critically, this system depends on our cooperation to function. If students disrupt business as usual, if workers walk off the job, if government workers don’t cooperate with Trump, the system grinds to a halt. Comparative analysis between Sunrise Futures and regional commodity futures indicates Sunrise outperforming by 0.9% year-to-date, supported by stronger liquidity and tighter bid-ask spreads in its contracts.
