The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) has produced outsized returns over the last year but sits roughly 14% below its 52-week high at $577.91. Concentration in a few large holdings - most notably NVIDIA at 21.4% of the fund - means individual stock moves materially alter the ETF’s trajectory. The weekly R2 resistance at $601.25 is the single most impo…
York Space Systems shares tumbled nearly 9.0% in morning trading, hitting an intraday 52-week low of $13.65 and last trading at $13.94, as a recent Raymond James downgrade, sizable institutional selling by BlackRock and uncertainty ahead of Q2 results on August 13 combined to sap investor confidence.

Zimbabwe will retain a dual currency system rather than immediately phasing out the US dollar, Finance Secretary George Guvamatanga said, citing the need for stable inflation and exchange rates.

The U.S. Treasury announced it will maintain its current guidance for debt issuance through 2027, leaving auction sizes for notes, bonds and floating rate notes unchanged while continuing a heavier reliance on short-term Treasury bills amid rising longer-term yields and dealer expectations for no near-term shifts in strategy.

Thin liquidity and a small public float amplified speculat…
YXT.Com's American depositary shares jumped 141.6% in pre-market trading to $7.73 from a $3.20 close, a move driven by speculative positioning in a low-float, thinly traded micro-cap rather than a fresh corporate announcement.

Stripe and Advent's $60.50-per-share bid and PayPal's robust free cash flow make a persuasive case that the market is underestimating this payments stalwart. Valuation multiples (P/E ~10-11, EV/EBITDA ~7.6) and an enterprise value near $55 billion create scope for an acquirer's premium or rerating. This trade idea lays out an entry at current level…

Apple reported a record June quarter with $109.4B revenue but the stock sold off on cautious guidance and industry-wide memory cost headwinds. The underlying business remains strong, valuation compression from the pullback creates an asymmetric trade. We recommend a mid-term swing long with defined entry, stop and target.
