Zelenskiy dons more formal attire for high-stakes meeting with Trump
By Steve Holland WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The last time Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy visited the White House, his dark military-style outfit drew scorn from U.S. President Donald Trump, who wears suits every day. Zelenskiy's garb at that February meeting featured in a disastrous session with Trump in which the two leaders bickered and the Ukrainian president was escorted out of the White House early, without lunch. On Monday, with his country facing pressure to accept a peace deal to end Europe's deadliest war in 80 years, Zelenskiy showed up for his talks with Trump wearing more formal attire. The black-on-black ensemble, sans tie, wasn't exactly a suit, but it seemed to please Trump all the same. A reporter who had asked Zelenskiy in February why he was not wearing a suit complimented the Ukraine leader on the attire he chose for his latest Oval Office session with Trump. "You look fabulous in that suit," the reporter said. Trump chimed in: "I said the same thing." This time, Zelenskiy got in a good-natured dig. "You're wearing the same suit," he told the reporter, drawing laughter. "I changed." The media-savvy Ukrainian leader had worn military-type outfits to show solidarity with the troops fighting Russian invaders since Moscow's 2022 full-scale invasion. But after the February meeting with Trump, Zelenskiy switched to a more formal wardrobe. When the two leaders met at Pope Francis's funeral in Rome in April, the Ukrainian president wore a heavy black field jacket and black shirt buttoned to the collar, with no tie. The negative focus on Zelenskiy's attire at the White House was widely criticized at the time by Ukrainians, who have largely rallied around their leader since Moscow's invasion.

Vistra Stock Could Chart Path Back to Record Highs
Vistra Corp (NYSE:VST) stock is up 0.6% to trade at $198.53 at last check, not too far off from its Aug. 5 all-time high of $216.85. The equity is looking to snap a three-day losing streak, with the $190 region providing support as it pulled back from that record peak. Better yet, a historically bullish signal now flashing could soon help shares extend their healthy 150.4% lead. Per Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White, Vistra stock's pullback placed it within one standard deviation of its 50-day moving average. The equity was above this trendline in at least eight of the last 10 trading days, and spent 80% of the past two months above it. Within these parameters, eight other signals occurred over the last three years, after which the security was higher one month later 75% of the time, averaging an 8% gain. From its current perch, a similar move would place back above $213. At the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), VST's 50-day put/call volume ratio of 1.17 ranks higher than all readings from the past year. In other words, the security could benefit from an unwinding of pessimism. Options are affordable, making this an opportune time to bet on VST's next moves. This is per its Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 49%, which stands in the 10th percentile of readings from the past year.

Starbucks to give all North America salaried employees 2% raise this year, company says
(Reuters) -Starbucks (SBUX) will provide a modest 2% hike to all salaried employees in North America this year, the company told Reuters on Monday, as the coffee chain tries to keep a tight lid on costs as part of CEO Brian Niccol's turnaround efforts. Starbucks, under Niccol, has cut some jobs, tightened dress codes and incentivized keeping costs under control for executives as it invests in reducing service wait times and returning to a coffeehouse environment at its stores. Bloomberg News first reported on the hike, and added that the raise will apply to all corporate staff, workers in manufacturing and distribution, as well as store managers. The hikes for salaried employees were thus far decided by managers, but as the company invests in Niccol's turnaround plan, Starbucks needed to "carefully manage all our other costs", Bloomberg's report said, citing a company spokesperson. Starbucks is also in the midst of contract negotiations with unionized baristas. In April, union delegates voted to reject the coffee chain's latest proposal that guaranteed annual raises of at least 2%, which the Workers United union said did not offer changes to economic benefits such as healthcare or any immediate pay hike.
