Tyler Adams to miss US-Switzerland friendly because of foot injury
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — U.S. midfielder Tyler Adams will miss Tuesday night's friendly against Switzerland because of a foot injury. 'I hope it's not a big issue,' coach Mauricio Pochettino said Monday. 'I think we can manage in a good way and rest him a few days and then see if he can be ready for the Gold Cup.' Adams played the second half of Saturday's 2-1 loss to Turkey. The Americans open the CONCACAF Gold Cup against Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday. They already are missing are Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Tim Weah, Antonee Robinson, Sergiño Dest, Yunus Musah, Folarin Balogun and Gio Reyna. Some are hurt, some want time off and some will be at the Club World Cup. The U.S. will be trying to avoid its first four-game losing streak since dropping five straight in 2007. Pochettino praised goalkeeper Matt Freese, who made his debut against Turkey in place of Matt Turner, the U.S. starter since 2022. Turner did not play for Crystal Palace after March 1. 'He was very, very good,' Pochettino said. 'Things that he needs to prove? Of course. But he needs to play and needs games with the national team. … He has amazing potential. Yes, it's a good competition for us, now to discover than he can cope with the pressure to play in front of the national team.' ___ AP soccer:

Why Tesla Stock Was Slumping Again Today
Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) stock had a rough week last week, dropping nearly 15%. Shares fell again today with its robotaxi launch in Austin, Texas, coming soon. While the company hasn't confirmed the specific June date for the launch, reports say it could be Thursday, June 12. One Wall Street analyst thinks investors are going to be disappointed by the much-hyped event. That helped push Tesla stock lower by as much as 4.5% early Monday. Shares had recovered from that drop and even turned slightly positive at 12:33 p.m. ET. Tesla's self-driving technology needs to impress Baird analyst Ben Karrow downgraded Tesla shares from a buy to a hold rating for reasons that include high expectations for the upcoming robotaxi launch as well as the very public feud CEO Elon Musk had with President Trump last week. Regarding the robotaxi introduction, Musk has said much of his company's value should be based on Tesla's self-driving technology. Investors anticipating that event have helped push Tesla stock higher by more than 12% in the past month, even including last week's decline. The Baird analyst thinks lofty expectations for the event are already built into Tesla's share price. He also cited uncertainty and potential blowback from the public spat between Musk and President Trump, reports Barron's. Tesla needs government support in the form of favorable autonomous driving regulations, among other matters, beyond any electric vehicle (EV) credits that have been used to help spur demand for its products. Tesla's robotics head leaves company More news came from the EV leader this weekend, too. Milan Kovac, Tesla's executive in charge of Tesla's Optimus humanoid robotics segment, said on Friday that he is moving on from the company. He started at Tesla in 2016 and reported directly to Musk. Kovac expressed confidence in Tesla's future, and Musk thanked him for his "outstanding contributions." That just adds more uncertainty for investors, though, as Optimus is another key future catalyst for Tesla. For now, all eyes will be on the robotaxi news coming soon. Don't miss this second chance at a potentially lucrative opportunity Ever feel like you missed the boat in buying the most successful stocks? Then you'll want to hear this. On rare occasions, our expert team of analysts issues a 'Double Down' stock recommendation for companies that they think are about to pop. If you're worried you've already missed your chance to invest, now is the best time to buy before it's too late. And the numbers speak for themselves: Nvidia: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2009, you'd have $367,516!* Apple: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2008, you'd have $38,712!* Netflix: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2004, you'd have $669,517!* Right now, we're issuing 'Double Down' alerts for three incredible companies, available when you join Stock Advisor, and there may not be another chance like this anytime soon. *Stock Advisor returns as of June 9, 2025

Nat-Gas Prices Slip as US Weather Forecasts Moderate
July Nymex natural gas (NGN25) on Wednesday closed down by -0.006 (-0.16%). July nat-gas prices on Wednesday posted modest losses as temperature forecasts moderated across the central and eastern US, which could curb nat-gas demand from electricity providers to run air-conditioning. Forecaster Atmospheric G2 stated on Wednesday that forecasts shifted cooler across the southern half of the US, with a large portion of the central and eastern US expected to be cooler than normal for June 9-13. Nat-gas prices were also under pressure Wednesday on expectations for a larger-than-seasonal build in nat-gas supplies. The consensus is that Thursday's weekly EIA nat-gas inventories will climb by +110 bcf for the week ended May 30, above the five-year average of +98 bcf for this time of year. Lower-48 state dry gas production Wednesday was 103.9 bcf/day (+2.2% y/y), according to BNEF. Lower-48 state gas demand Wednesday was 69.2 bcf/day (-5.6% y/y), according to BNEF. LNG net flows to US LNG export terminals Wednesday were 13.3 bcf/day (-4.9% w/w), according to BNEF. A decline in US electricity output is negative for nat-gas demand from utility providers. The Edison Electric Institute reported Wednesday that total US (lower-48) electricity output in the week ended May 31 fell -1.8% y/y to 76,711 GWh (gigawatt hours), although US electricity output in the 52-week period ending May 31 rose +3.28% y/y to 4,248,428 GWh. Last Thursday's weekly EIA report was bearish for nat-gas prices since nat-gas inventories for the week ended May 23 rose +101 bcf, right on expectations, but above the 5-year average build for this time of year of +98 bcf. As of May 23, nat-gas inventories were down -11.7% y/y and +3.9% above their 5-year seasonal average, signaling adequate nat-gas supplies. In Europe, gas storage was 49% full as of June 2, versus the 5-year seasonal average of 60% full for this time of year. Baker Hughes reported last Friday that the number of active US nat-gas drilling rigs in the week ending May 30 rose +1 to 99 rigs, modestly above the 4-year low of 94 rigs posted on September 6, 2024. Active rigs have fallen since posting a 5-1/2 year high of 166 rigs in Sep 2022, up from the pandemic-era record low of 68 rigs posted in July 2020 (data since 1987).
