Let's get into it.

1. Tech earnings have injected some caution into the market. Apple, Microsoft and Alphabet all reported Tuesday after the market closed. Futures steadied after the tech-heavy Nasdaq saw its biggest one-day fall in over two months.

2. Bank of America thinks lumber prices will rally again. Though lumber has fallen more than 70% from its recent peak, wildfires and hurricanes could push the price back up in the next few months. Bank of America gave three reasons why a summer lumber rally may be coming.

3. Jeremy Grantham anticipates a stock market disaster, but his firm is looking toward one of the best investing opportunities of the last 20 years.

4. Earnings on deck: Facebook, PayPal, Pfizer, McDonald's, Shopify and more, all reporting.

5. Your $5 latte might get more expensive soon. Extreme frost in Brazil's coffee-crop region is sending coffee prices to a six-year high. Arabica beans jumped to $2.08 per pound, and traders fear prices will continue to rise.

7. Goldman Sachs filed to create an ETF for DeFi and blockchain stocks.

The filing comes on the heels of a report that found 60% of ultra-wealthy family offices own crypto.

8. Stocks can't keep rising forever - they're due for a 5-8% pullback, says LPL Financial. After a strong performance this year so far, LPL Financial believes that the S&P 500 is about ready for a dip. The last time the market had as much as a 5% pullback was October 2020.
