The Treasury Department's $6 billion bond buyback, an effort to stem rising yields, fell far short of expectations Thursday. The repurchase of government debt led to Treasury yields continuing to climb, with the 10-year note topping a three-year high. Potential home buyers and refinancers hoping for some mortgage rate relief instead saw rates creep toward, and in some reports, top 7%.
Yields were mixed Friday, with the 10-year Treasury remaining just below 5%.
In an interview Thursday evening with conservative strategist Steve Bannon on "War Room," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent disputed the talk that the buyback program failed.
"This whole nonsense today that our operation didn't work — well, our operation didn't work, because we only had $10 billion of offers for our buyback program," Bessent said. "Normally, we get $20 billion, and we only buy the bonds back cheap. People seem to want to keep their long-term bonds, because we only had half as many offers. So, it's a bunch of noise, and in my career, I made money ignoring the noise."

Known as Conquest Planning since its launch in 2018, the fintech company has unveiled a refreshed brand and visual identity, shortened its name from Conquest Planning to Conquest, and announced a pivot beyond financial planning to signal the broader role its financial advice engine plays.

"Financial advice was never meant to be static," said Brad Joudrie, chief executive officer of Conquest, in a prepared statement. "Clients' lives change constantly, and the advice they receive should be able to keep pace."
The engine can power AI-enabled advisor, client and white-label experiences, helping firms deliver financial guidance across any wealth segment, channel and surface, according to the company.

Circle Internet Group (NYSE: $CRCL) President Heath Tarbert warned lawmakers on Wednesday that the United States could lose its financial influence if the next generation of money and capital markets develops on infrastructure governed outside the country.
Testifying before the House Financial Services Committee, Tarbert argued that the rise of stablecoins, tokenized ****** ets, and blockchain-based settlement is turning financial infrastructure into software, according to his written testimony. He claimed that this is giving governments a new battleground over where money moves and which laws govern it.
"Congress cannot determine which technologies will succeed. It can determine whether American law, American institutions, and the dollar will remain embedded in the systems that do," Tarbert said.

Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:MRVL) reports its fiscal second-quarter 2027 results on Thursday, Aug. 27, with the conference call set for 4:45 p.m. ET. The chipmaker arrives at the date hot.
The growth stock trades near $243 as of this writing, close to four times its 52-week low of $61.44. The latest leg came a week ago, when Marvell disclosed an expanded custom chip agreement with Google -- the search giant owned by Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG)(NASDAQ:GOOGL), plus a warrant that could eventually hand Google stock equal to about 7% of the company.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Some investors may go looking for that agreement in Thursday's numbers. But most of it isn't there yet. And Marvell's own filing says exactly where it will be.

SpaceX (SPCX) stock is back around its IPO price, putting investors in a familiar dilemma: Is this a buying opportunity or another warning sign? Shares dropped nearly 5% on Thursday to $132.69, slipping beneath the company's $135 IPO price and ending a streak of six consecutive closes above that benchmark. The decline came after SPCX repeatedly struggled to break through $150, the price at which it opened on June 12.
For a stock that once surged to $225.60, the reversal has been dramatic. ******* eX has already fallen nearly 40% from its June peak and traded as low as $104.83 on Aug. 3. Yet the underlying business is growing at a remarkable pace. That makes the question of whether to buy SPCX stock more complicated than simply looking at the chart.

Free rent explains $1.46B of the well occupied balance, with 280 Park Avenue accounting for $1.075B.
Floating rate debt and elevated operating expenses sit behind most of the rest.
Trepp reviewed $97.2B of performing securitized office loans and found $12.1B that cannot cover their own debt payments. None of those loans are delinquent. The unexpected part is where that balance sits. More than two-fifths rests on buildings that are at least 80% occupied.

Eagle Capital Management, an investment management company, released its second quarter 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. In the quarter, Eagle Capital Management discussed how enthusiasm around AI capital spending has driven strong S&P 500 earnings growth while also increasing risks from elevated valuations, concentrated demand, and aggressive investment ***** umptions. Eagle remains a strong believer in AI but prefers constructing a portfolio that can perform across multiple outcomes rather than relying on one forecast. The firm believes current earnings can overstate underlying economics because semiconductor equipment is depreciated over several years, while free cash flow growth remains much weaker. It also expects competition and additional capacity across AI labs, hyperscalers, and semiconductors to eventually create winners and losers. These dynamics are encouraging Eagle to recycle capital toward attractive opportunities outside the most crowded AI trades while maintaining selective exposure to high quality beneficiaries. The portfolio trades at a 20% market discount with faster expected EPS growth. Please review the Strategy's top five holdings for key selections.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Eagle Capital Management highlighted Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM). Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) manufactures, packages, tests, and sells integrated circuits and other semiconductor devices in Taiwan and internationally. On August 18, 2026, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) closed at $413.41 per share. The one-month return of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) was -0.99% and its shares gained 82.43% over the past 52 weeks. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) has a market capitalization of $1.95 trillion.
Eagle Capital Management stated the following regarding Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Half of our capital here is invested in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE:TSM) and ASML, two of the most dominant businesses in the semiconductor supply chain. The other half is invested across the three major hyperscalers. We ascribe a portion of the value of each of these three companies to their cloud business and the balance to the remainder of the company; i.e., 60% of the value of Amazon is from AWS and 40% is from retail.
TSMC and ASML are two of the best businesses in the semiconductor industry. TSMC is the world's fab, where most leading-edge logic chips, ranging from Apple to NVIDIA, are made. Both companies are well positioned over the next 5-10 years to participate in the sector's secular growth while maintaining their competitive positions. That said, they will face pressures when the next downturn comes.

Colombia's state-controlled oil company Ecopetrol (NYSE: EC) has completed its roughly $1.2 billion acquisition of a controlling 51% stake in Brazil's Brava Energia, significantly expanding its position in one of Latin America's most important oil-producing markets.
The deal combines approximately 25% of Brava's shares acquired through a voluntary tender offer with another 26% purchased under an agreement reached with existing shareholders in April. Ecopetrol had offered R$23 per share in the tender and said earlier this month that the auction had been successfully completed.
The acquisition gives Ecopetrol control of a sizeable portfolio of Brazilian offshore and onshore **** ets. Brava produced an average of around 78,800 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) during the first half of 2026, rising to approximately 84,400 boed in June.
Brava also reported 459 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) of proved reserves at the end of 2025 under PRMS standards. Ecopetrol previously described Brava as Brazil's second-largest listed independent oil company by reserves and production.
At the approximately $1.2 billion purchase price, Ecopetrol is paying an implied $8.40 per boe of proved reserves and around $6.30 per boe of proved-plus-probable reserves. Brava generated approximately $2.34 billion in revenue and $1.05 billion in EBITDA during the 12 months through June 2026.

Accidents can happen anywhere and at any time. Someone could slip on ice on your front walkway and break several bones. Or perhaps your tires lose traction on a rainy day, causing you to rear-end the vehicle in front of you, totaling the car, and injuring the other driver. Your home or auto insurance can help cover the costs of accidents like these if you're found liable. However, if the damages exceed your policy's liability limits, you could be responsible for paying the remaining costs out of pocket.
"That's where an umbrella policy would come into place," said Kim Bowser, vice president of national product and experience development at Grange Insurance. "Your auto or home insurance would typically cover the loss first. Umbrella kicks in as an extra layer on top of that coverage protection."
Umbrella insurance is a safety net protecting you from financial disaster. It pays to know what an umbrella policy is, how it works, and what it covers.

Wall Street usually spends earnings season talking down the next quarter. This time it's doing the opposite.
More S&P 500 (^GSPC) companies are raising their profit outlooks than cutting them, and the gap is the widest in the Bloomberg Intelligence data that starts in 2011.
Analysts are lifting 2026 and 2027 estimates instead of trimming them, a reversal from the usual midyear markdown.
The beats are loud too.
Through July 22, roughly 93% of the companies that had reported topped estimates, per Fundstrat, against a 78% five-year average — what financial writer Mike Zaccardi called "a whopping 15.5% surprise."

Magnolia Oil & Gas has agreed to acquire privately held WildFire Energy in a transaction valued at approximately $4.06 billion, a move that more than doubles its acreage in the Giddings area of South Texas and creates one of the region's largest Eagle Ford and Austin Chalk positions.
The acquisition adds approximately 810,000 net acres to Magnolia's existing holdings, bringing its total Giddings position to more than 1.25 million net acres. The combined portfolio provides exposure to multiple productive formations, including the Austin Chalk, Eagle Ford and Woodbine, while strengthening the company's presence near premium Gulf Coast markets.
Magnolia said the acquired **** ets currently produce around 53,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, with roughly 70% of output consisting of oil. The company expects the transaction to immediately increase cash flow, free cash flow and earnings per share while lowering its corporate reinvestment rate.
The company also expects to generate more than $100 million in annual synergies through operational efficiencies, infrastructure integration and lower corporate costs. Included in the acquisition are a sand mine that supplies most of Magnolia's completion sand needs and more than 500 miles of gas gathering pipelines in Giddings.
Reflecting confidence in the combined business, Magnolia announced a 9% increase in its quarterly dividend to $0.18 per share, payable in the third quarter of 2026, while maintaining its existing share repurchase program.

July 17 (Reuters) - Global equity funds attracted inflows for an eighth consecutive week through July 15, as investor risk appetite was lifted by a strong start to the earnings season and cooler U.S. inflation data that eased expectations of Federal Reserve rate hikes.
Investors made net purchases of $12.46 billion in global equity funds during the week, following a hefty $48.35 billion in net buying the previous week, LSEG Lipper data showed.
Leading Wall Street banks including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley reported robust earnings earlier this week, alongside ASML, a dominant supplier of AI chipmaking equipment.
By region, Europe led equity fund inflows with net purchases of $9.49 billion during the week. Asian funds also drew $5.4 billion in inflows, while investors divested roughly $4.8 billion from U.S. funds.
Among sector funds, technology attracted $3.37 billion, though that was the smallest inflow in three weeks. Financials and healthcare funds also posted weekly inflows of $567 million and $558 million, respectively.

Our ***** ysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here.
Bloomsbury Publishing is sticking with its full-year guidance, helped by ongoing AI licensing revenue and growth in its Academic & Professional division. The publisher expects adjusted profit of about £49.9 million (about $67.3 million) this year, up from £44.9 million last year, despite a consumer division that is still waiting for big fantasy releases and fresh Harry Potter momentum. The lesson is simple. Magic wands are nice, but licensing your back catalogue to AI companies may be the new enchanted object.
Bloomsbury said it remains confident of meeting full-year market expectations after the first four months of its financial year.
The London-listed publisher, best known as the UK home of Harry Potter and the publisher of Sarah J. Maas, said consensus expectations stand at revenue of £354.2 million and adjusted profit of £49.9 million for the year to February 2027.
That would compare with revenue of £325.9 million and adjusted profit of £44.9 million in the previous financial year.

In my former career as a stock research ******* yst, a unique dynamic always signaled a high-conviction idea. While I sat there building out earnings models and reworking valuation ******* umptions, the technical ******* ysts would look for relative strength or weakness. The chartists would regularly poke holes in my fundamental ******* ysis recommendations. However, occasionally, my research would independently flag an undervalued stock that the technical ******* ysis supported as a breakout. The recently launched Defiance KSM TipRanks ******* yst ETF (RANK) brings these two investment approaches together nicely. The new index ETF can act as a bridge that blends fundamental research and momentum investing.
The newly launched RANK ETF blends fundamental ******* ysis and technical trends in one TipRanks index approach.
Risk management constraints keep individual stock weights capped at 6% and Walmart (WMT) was a recent top position.
RANK's underlying TipRanks index outpaced standalone strategies over a trailing three-year stretch, achieving a 37% annualized return as of June 2026.

At first glance, broad-market funds seemingly offer similar exposure to the exact same underlying stocks. Various **** et managers offer several heavyweight funds that claim to capture the broader market. However, subtle differences in how these products are built, priced, and managed mean they are far from interchangeable.
Many funds track the same indexes.Structural and management differences such as fee structures and composition make products far from interchangeable.
Investors can potentially optimize their portfolios by choosing between different funds for the same index. For example, selecting SPY for high liquidity and active trading or SPYM for cost-efficient, long-term holding.
