AAPL is under pressure today. Apple and Brussels are blaming each other for delays to the EU rollout of Siri AI. That's bad timing. Short interest on Apple already crossed 1% of free float for the first time in months. Bears are clearly not waiting for resolution.
CRWV keeps appearing across data types. Short interest rose to 18.4% of free float this week. A director filed $230M in sales. Despite the broader AI rally, bears are building positions in CoreWeave while insiders cash out.
NVDA had a rough patch too. Short interest spiked to 1.28% of FF on May 27, worth roughly $63B. A director filed $221M in sales near all-time highs. Chip stocks rebounded Monday, giving bears some pain.
DELL saw $694M in sales filed by Silver Lake, its 10% owner. The trades spread across June 2–4. That's the single largest insider transaction this week.
Retail sales came in strong. The Redbook index rose 9.1% year-on-year for the week ending June 6. That's a solid consumer backdrop heading into Tuesday's earnings.
JNJ got a boost. The UK regulator approved its nipocalimab treatment for myasthenia gravis. That's a meaningful label expansion for Johnson & Johnson.
Stellantis faces a recall of over one million Jeep vehicles due to fire risk.
European stocks are mixed today. The Apple-EU standoff over Siri is adding friction. Defence stocks rallied after Ukraine ratified a $105 billion EU loan deal. European chipmakers tracked Wall Street's rebound earlier in the week.
BT Group posts full-year 2026 results Wednesday. The UK telecom is one of the week's key European earnings events to watch.
