The group (=E2=80=9CMagic United=E2=80=9D) is seeking higher pa= y=E2=80=A6 and probably more ventilation in the Donald Duck suit.

The= S&P 500 rode to a record high on Thursday, but snapped its five-week w= in streak on Friday as investors digested hotter-than-expected inflation re= ports. Traders slimmed bets on early interest-rate cuts. Meanwhile, bitcoin= sailed past $50K on #hodlers=E2=80=99 high hopes for spot ETFs.
