Markets cheered Monday after Iran signaled it wants to de-escalate tensions with Israel and return to negotiations, easing geopolitical jitters that had rattled investors and sent oil prices <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45940903/a-thin-strip-of-water-keeps-the-world-economy-on-edge-will-it-trigger-a-100-oil-shock">surging last week.</a>
A report from the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/a-battered-iran-signals-it-wants-to-de-escalate-hostilities-with-israel-and-negotiate-9feab4ae">Wall Street Journal</a> revealed that Iran, facing mounting economic and military pressure, has quietly told Arab intermediaries it's open to resuming talks over its nuclear program—on the condition that the United States refrains from entering the conflict.
Reports also emerged that Iran requested Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Oman to urge President Donald Trump to pressure Israel into agreeing to an immediate ceasefire.
The overture follows days of intense Israeli airstrikes and threats from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who remains committed to dismantling Iran&#8217;s nuclear capabilities and missile infrastructure.
Despite Netanyahu's firm stance, Tehran&#8217;s signals appear to have reignited risk sentiment, easing fears escalation of Middle East conflict and leading to a risk-on rally across global equities.

Wall Street Roars Back As Iran Signals De-Escalation: Nasdaq 100 Nears All-Time High

Davis Commodities Limited (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DTCK#NASDAQ">DTCK</a>), a leading Singapore-based agricultural commodities trader, has announced a groundbreaking strategic initiative following the successful approval of its $30 million fundraising plan. The initiative is set to revolutionize the company's business model by integrating Bitcoin reserves and Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization, positioning Davis Commodities as a global leader at the intersection of digital finance and agricultural commodity markets.
Strategic Allocation of Funds
1. Bitcoin Reserves: A Hedge Against Inflation and Catalyst for Growth The company plans to allocate approximately 15% of the funds ($4.5 million) in the first phase towards Bitcoin reserves, leveraging its status as a scarce, globally accepted digital asset with significant inflation-hedging properties. Over time, 40% of the total funds raised will be strategically deployed into Bitcoin reserves.
Bitcoin's historical track record demonstrates its potential as a high-yield investment. The cryptocurrency surged 156% in 2023, 121% in 2024, and has already increased by over 14% in 2025. Davis Commodities anticipates that its Bitcoin reserves could yield measurable returns over the next 36 months, contingent upon prevailing market conditions and increasing global adoption. This allocation is expected to enhance the company's financial resilience, diversify its asset management framework, and strengthen its long-term growth potential.
2. RWA Tokenization: Unlocking Liquidity in Agricultural Commodities In a bold step toward innovation, Davis Commodities will invest 50% of the funds ($15 million) into pioneering RWA tokenization projects, with a focus on the agricultural commodities sector. By tokenizing real-world assets such as sugar, rice, and edible oils, the company aims to unlock new liquidity channels, streamline transactions, and enhance efficiency in agricultural trading.
RWA tokenization is a rapidly emerging market, projected to reach a global market size of $16 trillion by 2030, according to industry analysts. As an early adopter in this space, Davis Commodities is positioning itself to capitalize on this growth. Early projections suggest that within 24 months, the tokenization strategy could generate an additional $50 million in annual revenue, fueled by expanded market access, faster trading cycles, and significantly reduced transaction costs.
3. Investment in Technology and Partnerships The remaining 10% of the funds ($3 million) will be allocated toward building advanced technological infrastructure, implementing robust security measures, and fostering strategic partnerships. These investments will ensure seamless integration of digital assets into the company's operations and maintain robust operational excellence.

<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Recent Report Shows That Sen. John W Hickenlooper Bought Up to $500K Worth of Liberty Broadband Stock

Ondas Holdings's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONDS#NYSE">ONDS</a>) short percent of float has fallen 29.1% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 6.16 million shares sold short, which is 5.36% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.0 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Ondas Holdings's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Ondas Holdings's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.59%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.
