Why the rally on Wall Street could be running out of steam
The stock market's run to all-time highs after a dreadful spring sell-off has many on the Street feeling good about equities. Others take a darker view. Wells Fargo said Friday it sees the S & P 500 running as high as 6,600 in 2025. Citigroup earlier this month also raised its year-end target on the benchmark to 6,600, while Oppenheimer in late July bumped its forecast all the way to 7,100. To be fair, there are good reasons to be optimistic. As CNBC's Michael Santoli pointed out in his Saturday column, the IPO market is showing signs of strength, credit spreads are tight and expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts are sky high. But not everyone is optimistic. RBC's Lori Calvasina, for example, thinks further gains may be harder to come by. .SPX YTD mountain SPX year to date "We continue to think the summer rally in the S & P 500 has generally made sense from a sentiment perspective, but is also starting to run out of room from that angle," the bank's head of U.S. equity strategy wrote Tuesday. Calvasina highlighted that the current rebound began more than 90 trading days ago. "Note that the rebounds of 2010, 2011, 2016, and 2022 all lost momentum around this point in time," she said. "As of August 15th, the 2025 rebound has been most closely correlated with the rebound off the Dec-2018 low. Now is right around when that rebound took a breather, with a 7% drawdown between late April and early June of 2019." Other issues are plaguing the market as well, including a high valuation and massive concentration in a few megacap tech names. "Mindful of this valuation pressure, along with the tendency of September and October to be tough months for S & P 500 performance in recent years, and the sudden deterioration in [American Association of Individual Investors] net bullishness, we remain on guard for choppy conditions in the balance of the year," said Calvasina. Calvasina has a 6,250 target on the S & P 500, which implies downside of 3.1% from Monday's close.

How Long Does It Take to Ship from China to the USA?
When businesses or individuals source goods from China, one of the most common questions is: how long will the shipment take to arrive in the United States? The answer depends on the chosen shipping method, the specific origin and destination, and external factors like customs clearance or seasonal demand. Air freight is the fastest option for shipping from China to the USA. Standard air freight: typically takes 5–10 days, including handling at both airports. Express couriers (DHL, FedEx, UPS): the quickest solution, usually 2–5 business days. This method is more expensive but highly reliable for small or urgent shipments. Best suited for samples, electronics, and high-value goods. Sea shipping is the most common method for bulk orders because it is cost-effective. Port-to-port shipping time: approximately 15–35 days, depending on the route. Door-to-door delivery: can extend to 30–40 days, as it includes customs, unloading, and inland trucking in the USA. East Coast ports (e.g., New York, Savannah) often take longer than West Coast ports (e.g., Los Angeles, Long Beach). Best for large, heavy, or non-urgent cargo. Although not as popular, rail freight via China–Europe–USA routes (combined with ocean or air transport) is an option. Transit time: usually 25–35 days, but not as direct as sea or air. Customs Clearance – Delays may occur if documentation is incomplete or inspections are required. Seasonal Demand – Peak seasons like Christmas or Chinese New Year can add several days or even weeks. Weather Conditions – Typhoons or storms in the Pacific can slow down sea freight. Port Congestion – Busy ports in Los Angeles or Shanghai often experience backlogs, leading to longer transit times. Method Average Transit Time Cost Level Best For Express Courier 2–5 days $$$ Urgent, small parcels Air Freight 5–10 days $$ Medium-sized, high-value shipments Sea Freight (West) 15–25 days $ Bulk cargo, cost-sensitive goods Sea Freight (East) 25–35 days $ Large shipments to Eastern USA Rail + Multimodal 25–35 days $$ Alternative routes, special cases The shipping time from China to the USA can range from just 2 days to over a month. Businesses usually balance speed and cost when choosing the right method. For urgent orders, express couriers and air freight are the best solutions. For bulk imports, sea freight remains the most economical, even if it requires more patience. Understanding these timelines helps importers plan inventory, manage supply chains, and avoid unnecessary delays. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
