The demonstration remained peaceful. What we know HOUSTON - A group called Houston Unidos organized a rally Sunday in Houston, marching from Ervan Chew Park to Herman Park, demonstrating against recent immigration policy. The group said on an event flyer the rally is "a call for justice and an end to cruel immigration practices." Hundreds were seen with signs and flags to share their message. What they're saying One demonstrator, Frida, held a sign that read "My parents fought for my future so we're fighting for theirs." "We're here to protest for the rights of our parents - they've sacrificed everything for us," she said. "I'm really hurt with children and parents getting detained. It hurts everyone around," said another participant and activist, Itsel. Local perspective Houston Police were seen blocking off cross streets down Dunlavey with units, giving the rally a safe path from one park to another. HPD mounted patrols also trailed behind the crowd, monitoring the situation. The demonstration remained peaceful. "It's actually really beautiful seeing everyone get together and support right now - it's difficult times right now and coming together as one is very powerful," said Valerie, another demonstrator.

Markets start to gear up for summer drama
Investors have a problem to work through: How to decide how and when to invest or sell - and what all that entails. Stocks had a good week, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rising 1.5% and closing above 6,000 for the first time since Feb. 21. Friday's big rally had some market watchers declare 6,500 on the index a real possibility. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter The other big averages rose at least 1.2% on the week. The small-cap Russell 2000 Index jumped 2.9%. There were lots of winners like: On Semiconductor (ON) , up 19.4%.Quantum Computing (QUBT) , up 21%.Robinhood Markets (HOOD) , up 13.2%.Appliance/electronics retailer Best Buy (BBY) , up 10.2%. And one clear non-winner: Tesla (TSLA) , down more than 14.8% in the wake of CEO Elon Musk's flame-throwing departure from the White House. An important downside: Bond yields moved up. The 10-year Treasury finished Frida with a 4.512% yield. Mortgage rates adjusted nearly to 7%. "I truly find it remarkable that interest rates (the foundation of all discounted dividend/cash flow models) are climbing so rapidly, yet equities are unconcerned," Doug Kass wrote in his Daily Diary on the Street Pro. Related: Scott Galloway sends blunt message to Elon Musk The week ahead offers some important earnings reports, but if you you're thinking of putting money to work, take a breath. This may also be a week in which what happens outside the stock and bond markets may prove more important that what happens. The events start with the meeting scheduled Monday in London between trade representatives from the United States and China to get the tariff negotiations moving. There is an August deadline get to a deal done, and President Donald Trump, not known for patience, may begin to get antsy. Related: Berkshire Hathaway shares sag since Buffett say he's retiring There is a closer deadline: July 9 for all the other trade deals to get done, and one isn't hearing much on that front, either. Markets will start getting nervous over these problems, and it will be tricky then because second-quarter earnings reports will start to come out. In addition, Apple (AAPL) is holding its World Wide Developer Conference this week. News may be committed at the event. Delta Air Lines (DAL) and PepsiCo (PEP) are expected to report the week of July 7. JPMorgan Chase (JPM) says it will report on July 15. Another factor to consider: an expected drop off in foreign travel to the United States. A December estimate for an 8.7% increase in foreign visitors to the U.S. in 2025 has been revised to an 8,7% decline, Bloomberg News reported. Marriott (MAR) has already trimmed its guidance for 2025 because of expected softness in U.S. and Canadian business. NurPhoto/Getty Images So far, 2025 has been a dramatic, nay wild, year for stocks. But a bad year? Not really or yet. The S&P 500 is up 2% on the year, with eight of 11 sectors showing gains. The Nasdaq is up 1.1%. The Nasdaq-100 Index, dominated by big tech stocks, is up 3.6%. Most of the gains have come since the market bottom in April. Industrials are leading the S&P 500 with a 9.7% gain this year, led by Howmet Aerospace (HWM) , which makes components for jet engines, GE Aerospace (GE) , which makes aircraft engines, and GE Vernova (GEV) , which concentrates on power equipment. The weakest sector is Consumer Discretionary, down 6.8%. The group includes Tesla, Caesar Entertainment (CZR) and homebuilders Lennar (LEN) and D.R. Horton (DHI) . Information technology, including Microsoft (MSFT) , Apple, Nvidia (NVDA) and Broadcom (AVGO) , is up 1.1%.

The shares are up 7.3% this year but up 42% from the April post-tariff announcement low. The earnings estimate is $1.64 a share, up slightly from a year ago's $1.63. The revenue estimate is $15.6 billion, up 9% from a year ago. Adobe (ADBE) is best known for tools to design and produce content. Anyone who has sent a .pdf file to any where has probably used Adobe software. The earnings estimate is $4.97 a share, up 11% from a year. Revenue is estimated at $5.8 billion, up 9.3%. Adobe shares are down 6.2% this year. Mostly that is because valuation is more appropriate. The shares had been at 30 times earnings. That's down to 20. Smucker (SJM) , the Ohio maker of jams, peanut butter (Adams) bought Hostess Brands, makers of no less than Hostess Twinkies, for $4.6 billion. Digesting the acquisition has been hard. The sweet snacks business faces huge headwinds in the demand for healthier snacks. (Can you say Wegovy and Mounjaro?) Smucker shares are up just 0.7% this year.

But the Panthers said it anyway. With the Edmonton Oilers poised to take a 2-0 stranglehold on the Stanley Cup Final and move two wins away from the first title of the Connor McDavid-Leon Draisaitl era, the Panthers rolled into Rogers Place and flexed some of that championship muscle. They overcame 2-1 and 3-2 deficits Friday, shrugged off Corey Perry's tying goal with 17.8 seconds left in regulation and won it 5-4 in double overtime, evening the series and stealing away the home ice advantage that some feel could be the difference in this thing. 'Tough one to swallow, but this is the Stanley Cup Final, it's not supposed to be easy,' said Perry, who plans on putting the dejection to bed as soon as his head hits the pillow. 'You can think about it, dwell on it, but what's it going to do? It's not going to do anything for you now. Get some rest, get on the plane and get ready for Game 3.

Please try again This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'It's frustrating, but we're in the Final for a reason.' That's the only way they can look at it, but the Oilers know they let one slip away. Teams that open the final at home and jump out to a 2-0 series lead are 40-3 all time. Those odds fall dramatically when the road team gets the split. 'There's going to be some disappointment,' said Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch. 'but we've had the mentality that whatever happens — bad game, close game, overtime, heartbreaking, easy, whatever it is — we put it behind us and get ready for the next one. 'In the playoffs things don't always go your way. But we've done a pretty good job of responding and putting whatever happens behind us and focusing on the next game.' Florida also knew the math and they answered with a vengeance. Instead of being dead, they're dead even after Brad Marchand's breakaway winner 8:05 into the second extra period. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'It's a good one to win, I like the way we played tonight,' grinned Marchand, who had his fingerprints all over this game with two goals and all of his usual extra-curricular antics. 'It was pure excitement, adrenaline for the whole group. It was a very important game for our team.' While the Oilers have shown all playoffs that they are stronger, deeper and more determined than the team that came up short in seven games last year, it's pretty clear that the Panthers juggernaut is also on another level. And now everything we thought about this epic final is playing out the way we thought it would. Two games in it's taken almost nine periods to determine the winners. This is going to be a long, drawn-out battle, as much a war of wills as a clash of systems and talent. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'Every game is tight at this time of the year,' sighed Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl. 'It's two really good teams. It's never going to be easy. We need to regroup and be ready for Game 3. 'At this time of year, you've got to move on. There's no time to think about it for too long. Obviously it stings right now, but we've got to move on.' This is just the sixth time in NHL history that the first two games of the finals went to overtime, and it was a wild one right from the start. The first period featured five goals, 11 minor penalties and saw the Oilers and Panthers go at each other like hungry dogs. Sam Bennett made it 1-0 Panthers on a power play goal at 2:07. Evander Kane and Evan Bouchard scored at 7:39 and 9:19 to give Edmonton the lead. Seth Jones tied it again at 11:37, and then things reached a boiling point when Bennett took another run at Stuart Skinner, hurting but not injuring the Oilers goalie at 12:13. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Edmonton made him pay, scoring in the ensuing power play to take a 3-2 lead into a much-needed first intermission that gave everyone watching a chance to catch their breath. It was the Oilers themselves who needed to take a deep breath during the second intermission because two Florida goals, one of them a shorthanded breakaway by Marchand, put them down 4-3. The Oilers, who spent most of the period hemmed in their own end trying to avert disaster, were lucky to get out of it with just two goals against. For the second time in two games, Edmonton entered the third period trailing by a goal. Just like Game 1, they found the equalizer, but not the OT winner. 'Each game could have gone either way,' said Knoblauch. 'When you win the first one you're disappointed that you don't follow up and win the second one, but we're going there with a split and that's fine with us. We're comfortable playing on the road.'
