This index covers large and mid-cap stocks in the U.S., accounting for approximately 85% of the U.S. free float market capitalization.

Ultimately, MSCI did not exclude DAT companies, allowing Strategy to remain within the index system.

Yzi Labs investment partner Alex Odagiu recently wrote to the CEA Industries board, accusing it of recklessly delaying the annual shareholder meeting, which could put the company at risk of being delisted from Nasdaq.The letter pointed out that it has been over 400 days since the last shareholder meeting. The board attempted to exploit a loophole by changing the fiscal year-end date to April 30 through "accounting maneuvers," extending the interval between meetings to 16 months. Alex Odagiu stated that this move by the board was to evade voting and that last December, they used the excuse of a "ski vacation" to cover up their actions of obstructing shareholder democracy through the "poison pill plan" and amending the bylaws.The letter emphasized that although the board tried to comply technically, its malicious manipulation could trigger Nasdaq's delisting discretion. Yzi Labs demands that the board immediately announce the date of the 2025 annual shareholder meeting and cease actions that jeopardize the company's listing status to maintain their positions.

As the selection of the Federal Reserve Chair approaches a conclusion, JPMorgan suggests "selling 2-year U.S. Treasuries" as a tactical trade. The bank expects that, despite Kevin Warsh potentially taking the helm at the Federal Reserve, the room for significant rate cuts will be limited in the context of solid economic fundamentals.JPMorgan predicts that the core CPI in January may rise to 0.39% month-on-month, higher than the market's general expectation of 0.31%, reflecting the price adjustments at the beginning of the year and ongoing price pressures. Strategists point out that strong economic growth and persistent inflation will limit the downward space for front-end rates, stating that "front-end rates are unlikely to significantly decline from current levels."The current market expects the Federal Reserve to cut rates by 25 basis points as early as July, with another cut before the end of the year. The yield on 2-year U.S. Treasuries has slightly rebounded to 3.47% ahead of the CPI data release.However, there are also dissenting voices. David Einhorn, founder of Greenlight Capital, bets that the rate cuts under Warsh's era will exceed market expectations and has purchased SOFR futures to position for a more accommodative policy path.
