Early Bird
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5th
GOOD MORNING
U.S. stocks held near record territory Thursday with the S&P 500 edging up 0.1% and sitting about 0.5% below its all-time high, the Nasdaq rising 0.2%, and the Dow slipping 0.1%. The market’s modest moves followed a recent stretch of volatility, as investors weighed earnings, economic signals, and policy headlines.
Technology continued to be a primary driver. NVIDIA was among the most active stocks and ended the day up 2%. Energy and Infrastructure also gained traction after the Department of Energy announced $800 million in new funding to accelerate small modular reactor development, sending SMR-related stocks into buy-range conversations. Commodities were firmer, with crude oil and gold posting gains. The White House also weighed in on inflation, adding a bit more noise to an already busy week.

ATLX is One of the Most Advanced Lithium Developers to Watch in 2026
Atlas Lithium (NASDAQ: ATLX) is emerging as one of the most strategically positioned names in the global battery metals surge.
Anchored by the largest lithium exploration footprint in Brazil, the company sits directly in the path of one of the strongest lithium booms in the world. Its Definitive Feasibility Study shows breakout economics — a 145% IRR and an astonishing 11-month payback — backed by a fully paid-for modular processing plant and major support from Mitsui & Co., the Berkshire Hathaway–linked global giant.
Add in a $19 price target from HC Wainwright, and ATLX is quickly proving itself to be one of the most advanced, capital-efficient operators in the sector.
But the story doesn’t stop at lithium. Through ATLX’s 28% stake in Atlas Critical Minerals (OTCQB: JUPGF), the company also gains exposure to rare earths, titanium, graphite, and uranium — forming a high-leverage platform tied directly to the clean-energy transition.
With permits secured, infrastructure moving into place, and Brazil establishing itself as a premier lithium jurisdiction, Atlas Lithium is poised to shift from explorer to producer just as global demand tightens.DISCOVER WHY ATLX COULD BE THE NEXT BREAKOUT NAME IN BRAZIL’S LITHIUM VALLEY.
