- Yahoo Finance · NVDA, SMH · Aug 24, 2026Nvidia Could Drop 20% On Poor Earnings
Chip stocks have dragged the market lower just as Nvidia's earnings approach, and some commentators warn Nvidia could fall 20% if results disappoint. But a well-known analyst argues investors still underestimate the company, setting up a classic beat-the-pessimism trade.
- CNBC · TLT, TMF, VBTL · Aug 24, 2026Yields decline on CNBC report Treasury could use General Account to fund buybacks
The Treasury might use nearly $1 trillion of its cash account to buy back its own long-term bonds, and yields already fell on the news. That's a big buyer stepping into the long end of the bond market.
- CNBC · CAD=X, FXC, USDCAD · Aug 24, 2026Trump says U.S. will hike Canada auto tariffs to 50% as trade war escalates
Trade talks between the US and Canada have collapsed, and Trump says auto tariffs will jump to 50% in 2027 on top of a new 50% tax on many Canadian goods. Analysts note Canada's smaller, more trade-dependent economy has more to lose, and the Canadian dollar is already sliding.
- CoinDesk · GDX, GLD · Aug 24, 2026Live updates: Bitcoin climbs past $79,000 early Monday, with gold topping $4,700
Gold just pushed above $4,700 while Bitcoin holds near $79,000, and all eyes are on Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's big speech at Jackson Hole later this week. Both hard assets are rallying even though bond yields are near multi-year highs, which is unusual and telling.
- CoinDesk · SOL · Aug 24, 2026New Solana vote could ramp daily SOL burns to $800,000 and slow new token creation
Solana is voting on changes that would destroy far more SOL tokens every day and slow how fast new ones are created, making SOL scarcer right as crypto demand surges. With Bitcoin having its best week in years and big players stockpiling billions in cash to buy crypto, a supply squeeze on SOL could push its price higher.
- CoinDesk · BTC, ETH · Aug 24, 2026Bitcoin steadies near $78,000 as gold rallies, altcoins consolidate after best week in 3 years
Bitcoin just had its best week in three years and is holding near $78,000 after a Treasury buyback announcement forced sellers out. Meanwhile, Tom Lee's company just made its biggest Ethereum purchase in nearly two months, betting the rally has further to run.
- MarketWatch · NVDA, QQQ · Aug 23, 2026Nvidia is the beating heart of the AI boom and the stock market — which sets up a big test
Nvidia reports earnings Wednesday and a huge swath of the market moves with it. At the same time, the government is failing to hold down long-term interest rates — a second, slower-moving pressure on expensive tech stocks.
- Yahoo Finance · AMD, NVDA · Aug 21, 2026NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) & Advanced Micro Devices (AMD): Nvidia Might Ship AI Chips With Less Memory. AMD Says It's Not Worried

- Bloomberg · SOXL, SOXX, TQQQ · Aug 14, 2026Leveraged ETFs Snap Back as Casino Crowd Mints $50 Billion

- Bloomberg · BRK.B, DAL, GOOGL · Aug 14, 2026Berkshire Boosts Delta, Alphabet Stakes as Abel Taps Cash Pile
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, famous for sitting on a giant cash pile, just disclosed it bought more Delta Air Lines and Alphabet stock last quarter under new chief Greg Abel. The same evening of big investment filings, Nvidia revealed a $21 billion stake in SpaceX — the biggest players in investing are clearly putting money to work in stocks again.
- Bloomberg · IEF, TLT · Aug 13, 2026Stay In The Belly Of The Curve: BlackRock's Chaudhuri
The U.S. just had to pay the highest interest rate in a quarter century to borrow money for 30 years, and there is growing speculation it will shift toward shorter-term borrowing instead. BlackRock's top bond strategist says the safest spot in the Treasury market is the 'belly' — medium-term bonds of roughly 5 to 10 years — not the long end.
- Yahoo Finance · COST, DG, WMT, XLY · Aug 12, 2026CPI report shows inflation cooled again, but still outpaced paychecks in July
Inflation has cooled for two straight months, but prices are still rising faster than people's paychecks — and the Fed looks set to sit on its hands rather than cut rates. That keeps household budgets squeezed, which historically pushes shoppers toward Walmart, Costco, and dollar stores while they cut pricier purchases.
- Barron's · QQQ, SPY · Aug 12, 2026Services Inflation Saw a Rebound in July
The headline inflation numbers have cooled for two months, but the part the Fed worries about most — services like rent, travel, and haircuts — ticked back up in July. With the Fed chair scheduled to lay out his thinking at the big Jackson Hole central-bank conference in late August, a tougher-than-expected speech could catch a stock market that has rallied on the idea that rate hikes are over.
- Yahoo Finance · QQQ, SPY, USO · Aug 13, 2026Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq trending higher on rate hike bets, earnings
Inflation data came in exactly as expected for the second month in a row, giving the Federal Reserve breathing room to stop aggressively hiking interest rates. That relief has pushed the S&P 500 and Nasdaq toward record highs, while falling oil prices are dragging overall inflation down even further.
- Yahoo Finance · NBIS · Aug 12, 2026NBIS Stock Surges 30% After Earnings, Defying Michael Burry's Bet Against Nebius
AI infrastructure startup Nebius just crushed earnings and soared 30%, embarrassing famous short-seller Michael Burry. At the exact same time, rival AI chip maker Cerebras plummeted 16% despite raising its forecasts — proving investors are dumping weak AI stories and piling into the proven winners.
- Reuters · PSLV, SLV · Aug 14, 2026Gold heads for weekly loss as investors unwind inflation-fuelled rally - Reuters
Gold is pulling back as investors stop betting on runaway inflation, but silver has been on a tear — up 70% over the past year — and is often the first metal to bounce when the threat of rate hikes fades. With a key wholesale inflation report looming, the setup favors catching silver's next leg up while gold lags.
- Reuters · BOIL, UNG · Aug 13, 2026Oil steadies after US threatens to blockade Iran indefinitely - Reuters
Oil prices are sliding because inflation is cooling, but a new U.S. threat to blockade Iran creates a supply risk just as massive AI data-center buildouts lock in decades of electricity demand. Natural gas is the quiet winner caught between shrinking oil weakness and surging power needs.
- Reuters · AMD, NVDA, SMICY · Aug 13, 2026Chinese chipmaker SMIC increases prices on strong AI demand - Reuters
The global AI spending boom is creating massive demand for computer chips, pushing Chinese foundries to raise prices. The need for capital to fund this infrastructure build-out is intensifying, evidenced by AMD's multi-billion-dollar fundraising and Goldman Sachs arranging financing for Nvidia's clients.
- Reuters · TLT · Aug 14, 2026AI-driven surge in bond yields could be next risk for markets and growth

- CoinDesk · ADA, BTC · Aug 12, 2026One overlooked group has added $1.78 billion of selling pressure to bitcoin market
Bitcoin miners have been quietly dumping nearly $1.8 billion worth of coins onto the market, adding relentless downward pressure just as prices look fragile. Meanwhile, Cardano — a major altcoin — just flashed a classic fakeout pattern that charts warn could trigger a 50% crash, signaling broader weakness across crypto beyond just Bitcoin.
- Bloomberg · FXY, USDJPY · Aug 12, 2026JPM/USD: Why Yen Intervention by Japan and US Has Limited Impact
The Japanese yen is struggling despite government efforts to support it, while stubbornly high U.S. inflation—compounded by rising oil prices—is keeping the door open for higher interest rates. This combination makes holding U.S. dollars much more attractive than yen.
- Bloomberg · IEF, TLT · Aug 12, 2026Pimco’s Seidner Says Angst Over Fed Credibility is Unwarranted
Pimco says fears about inflation are overblown and that government bonds look like a great buy at current prices, while a major energy agency is forecasting a massive drop in oil demand as high fuel prices force people to consume less.
- Yahoo Finance · ASML · Aug 10, 2026ASML Faces a Fresh Threat Out of China. Is the Dip in the Stock Worth Buying?
ASML, the Dutch company that makes the machines printing the world's most advanced computer chips, just got knocked down on fresh China-related fears. But that company is essentially a monopoly — nobody else can build what it builds — so panics like this have historically been buying opportunities.
