## Immediate Opportunities
* Buy PRIO3 on the next correction: rising oil + Wahoo production = record profit.
* Increase exposure to GOOGL – the Anthropic deal solidifies Google Cloud as the backbone of AI.
* Invest in S&P 500 ETFs (like IVVB11) while the tech rally and hope for an Iran deal keep the index rising.
* Build a position in AMD – data center growth remains strong and the valuation isn't as stretched as Nvidia's.
## Risks on the Radar
* Record U.S. debt: if the market loses confidence in the fiscal trajectory, long-term interest rates could spike and trigger a sell-off in risk assets.
* Iran/Ukraine Geopolitics: any escalation could reverse the short-term rally, especially in oil and aviation.
* AI Concentration: excessive optimism around AI could lead to violent corrections if any big tech disappoints in its guidance.
* U.S.-Spain Trade Tensions: $213 billion in cross-border investments are at risk, which could taint sentiment towards European markets and companies with Iberian exposure.
