Welcome to Markets Desk, your midday read on the stories moving money and markets.
Fifty-six million Americans lack access to a workplace retirement plan, and the White House is now targeting that gap directly. A new executive order from the Trump administration aims to expand access to tax-advantaged retirement accounts, potentially unlocking significant new capital flows into equity and bond markets as more workers gain incentivized savings vehicles for the first time.
Shifting to small caps, three under-the-radar names are quietly printing new all-time highs in two thousand twenty-six. AXT Incorporated, Northwest Pipe, and Arteris are each catching a bid driven by structural tailwinds — data center buildout and water infrastructure spending — two spending categories that continue to attract capital regardless of the broader macro noise. Worth watching as rotation into smaller names picks up.
And on the personal finance side, Poppi cofounder Allison Ellsworth made headlines after revealing she deposited five thousand dollars into each of her three children's Fidelity accounts, giving them discretion to pick stocks and absorb real losses. It's a sharp reminder that financial literacy built early, including the sting of a bad position, tends to compound alongside the portfolio itself.
That's the tape.
