In this edition of Dividend Cafe, David provides a market update from an unconventional setting at JFK airport.

Key sectors such as energy, materials, and consumer staples are highlighted, alongside underperformers like technology and communication services. Bahnsen reviews Bitcoin's decline, diverging trends in gold and silver, and significant movements in major indices and the bond market. Additionally, it covers notable corporate news related to AI funding, Oracle's significant capital raise, potential shifts in Nvidia's investment in OpenAI, and positive developments in the ISM manufacturing index. David also touches on declining rent prices and previews an upcoming detailed analysis on Kevin Warsh's Federal Reserve Chair nomination in the next Dividend Cafe episode.
