1547 ET – U.S. natural gas futures end the week lower as the market enters the shoulder season where summer cooling demand tapers off before early-season heating demand starts to kick in. Last week’s 40 Bcf storage injection was bigger than expected, but smaller than average, leaving inventories 148 Bcf above the five-year average. “Elevated production and falling power demand point to larger injections ahead, leaving firm LNG demand as the main counterweight to the seasonal loosening,” Gelber & ***** ociates says in a note. Nymex front-month gas settles down 0.1% at $2.831/mmBtu for a 4.8% loss on the week.(anthony.harrupwsj.com)
0951 ET – U.S. natural gas futures are giving back yesterday’s small gains and on track for weekly losses as summer ends and cooling demand is set to ease into the autumn. Futures “remain in a sell-the-strength type trade,” Dennis Kissler of BOK Financial says in a note. “While the fundamentals still favor the bears, the market seems to be well supported near the $2.75-$2.70 area.” Nymex natural gas for October delivery is off 0.7% at $2.813/mmBtu.(anthony.harrupwsj.com)

Small and midsize shippers are often forced to stitch together various tools for parcel labels, freight quotes, tracking, and much more. The fragmentation gets more expensive as a business grows past pure e-commerce, since the moment a merchant needs to move inventory between warehouses or ship a pallet instead of a box, they're forced out of whatever platform runs their day-to-day shipping and into unfamiliar territory.
ShipStation Global CEO Tom Madine has built the company's post-merger strategy around closing that gap, knowing that the same merchants who came to the platform for parcel labels are increasingly buying freight, too, and would rather not leave the software to do it.
The LTL rollout is the first major product integration since Thoma Bravo acquired WWEX Group (parent of Worldwide Express, GlobalTranz, Unishippers, JEAR Logistics and BLX Logistics) and merged it with Auctane, the parent company of ShipStation, this past June. The combination created ShipStation Global, a company now valued at roughly $12 billion. CEO Tom Madine described the logic of putting the two businesses together as less about scale for its own sake and more about closing a gap both companies kept running into with customers.
"If you think about an e-commerce merchant that's selling through multiple channels, using multiple carriers with inventory in multiple places, it makes that a much more seamless and stress-free process for them, and allows them to manage everything through a single pane of glass," Madine said of the legacy ShipStation product, before pointing to what it had been missing. "There's nothing else like it on the market."
According to Madine, that gap had shown up repeatedly in customer surveys. "One of the most common requests that ShipStation would get in the legacy Auctane world was, 'When are you going to add other modes to the platform?'" he said. "Prior to today, if you were a ShipStation user, you were managing your entire workflow in ShipStation, except when you needed to move freight." Merchants who needed to move inventory between warehouses had to leave the platform entirely, log into a separate freight system, and reconcile the two.

Riverwater Partners, an investment management company, released its 'Small Cap Strategy' Q2 2026 investor letter. The letter can be downloaded here. The Small Cap Strategy underperformed the Russell 2000 in the second quarter as the benchmark experienced one of its strongest risk-on rallies in recent memory, although the strategy remained ahead year-to-date. The quarter was defined by accelerating AI investment, energy market disruptions, and renewed investor appetite for higher-beta stocks, creating headwinds for the firm's quality-focused approach and healthcare positioning. Despite this, stock selection contributed positively in energy, materials, and financials, while healthcare and consumer discretionary detracted due to the fund's disciplined avoidance of speculative businesses. Looking ahead, the firm remains cautiously optimistic, focusing on opportunities created by market dislocations, including AI infrastructure enablers, select consumer companies, healthcare innovators, and energy businesses trading below intrinsic value. The strategy continues to emphasize high-quality companies with strong management teams and attractive valuations, positioning the portfolio for a potential rotation away from speculative market leadership. In addition, please check the Strategy's top five holdings to know its best picks in 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, Riverwater Partners Small Cap Strategy highlighted StoneX Group Inc. (NASDAQ:SNEX) as a notable contributor. StoneX Group Inc. (NASDAQ:SNEX) operates as a US-based global financial services network that connects companies, organizations, traders, and investors to a market ecosystem. On August 31, 2026, StoneX Group Inc. (NASDAQ:SNEX) closed at $68.48 per share. StoneX Group Inc. (NASDAQ:SNEX) fell 8.97% over the past month while its shares gained 50.63% over the past 52 weeks. StoneX Group Inc. (NASDAQ:SNEX) has a market capitalization of $8.26 billion with a 52-week trading range between $36.45 - $94.66.
Riverwater Partners Small Cap Strategy stated the following regarding StoneX Group Inc. (NASDAQ:SNEX) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"StoneX Group Inc. (NASDAQ:SNEX), our financial services and clearing holding, was the portfolio's largest contributor as shares gained approximately 47% during the quarter. Elevated market volatility stemming from the Middle East conflict drove exceptional trading and clearing activity, and the stock ground steadily higher after quarterly earnings results. With shares having roughly doubled from their lows and valuation approaching the high end of historical ranges, we trimmed the position into strength while keeping it among our largest holdings. We continue to view it as an unusually durable compounder across market environments."

The euro currency is approaching a seasonal period that deserves the attention of both investors and active market participants. The optimal window lasts approximately 75 calendar days, providing enough time for longer-term traders to establish a bearish position while also allowing shorter-term traders to sell into and out of positions when the euro technical setups develop.
Seasonal patterns are not, by themselves, trade signals. They identify periods when a market has historically tended to move in a particular direction. The current fundamental environment, however, may support the euro's impending bearish pattern.

Several members of the Federal Reserve favored raising interest rates at the central bank's policy meeting last month, even as most supported holding rates steady, according to minutes from the meeting released Wednesday.
Those who favored raising rates noted that price pressures appeared broad-based and thought rates should be higher to restrict the economy and bring down inflation.
Three voting members of the Fed — Cleveland Fed president Beth Hammack, Dallas Fed president Lorie Logan, and Minneapolis Fed president Neel Kashkari — dissented, preferring to raise rates by a quarter percentage point. Since the meeting, other officials have spoken, including Kansas City Fed president Jeff Schmid, who also suggested that rates should be higher to rein in inflation.

Most participants supported holding rates steady and believed forthcoming data before the next policy meeting would offer more clarity and reduce uncertainty about the inflation outlook.

Mastercard (MA) CEO Michael Miebach vividly recalls working on long-term strategy as the new CEO of an iconic company smack in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020.
His office was inside an empty, sprawling headquarters a few miles from PepsiCo (PEP) in Purchase, N.Y., and next to a furry friend.
"It was a big learning. One of the things that I picked up was it's good to be in the office," Miebach said on the Power Players with Brian Sozzi podcast (see video above; listen below) inside that same sprawling headquarters. "So every day, I drove to the office, including my predecessor, who was our executive chair for a period of time. … One gentleman from our canteen company was brave enough to come in this office. It was five of us and a security person. One of my colleagues brought his dog because his dog sitter wasn't around any longer. And this was the think tank."
What a way to start a CEO tenure!

It's official: Curaleaf is taking its hostile bid directly to Aurora shareholders. The cannabis company went public with the proposed terms on Monday.
The $4 per share offer is about a 45% premium on Aurora's 30-day average share price, dated to August 10 before Curaleaf announced its intention. The company says it found a path to about $40 million in annual cost synergies, and that the combined, $3 billion market cap company would be "uniquely positioned as the premier public vehicle for blue-chip institutional and long-term investors," seeking exposure to legal cannabis.
"Today, we are putting this proposal directly in the hands of Aurora shareholders," Curaleaf CEO Boris Jordan said in a statement. "We believe our Offer provides immediate value and a unique opportunity to participate in the upside of a larger, more diversified global cannabis platform with meaningful exposure to the growth of the U.S. market."
Both Curaleaf and Aurora shares surged on the initial announcement last week. Aurora's up about 1.5% intraday, while Curaleaf slipped about 2%.

The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) gained 0.62% to 7,758 to reach a record high. The Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) rose 1.30% to 26,691 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) climbed 0.28% to 54,037 as a surprising contraction in July payrolls fueled interest rate optimism.
Gold prices climbed 2.31% to $4,339.11 as of U.S. market close, and the 10-Year Treasury yield fell 0.03% to 4.65%. Communication services and energy were the only sectors to drop, while industrials and basic materials led the gainers.

Today's jobs data gave markets a boost, as surprise figures showed employers cut jobs in July. Nonfarm payrolls fell by 23,000, and unemployment fell to 4.1%. A weaker-than-expected jobs market means the Federal Reserve is more likely to hold interest rates steady in September, making traders less risk-averse.
After yesterday's sell-off in software stocks, today's earnings tell a more nuanced story: Both Atlassian and Twilio posted dramatic gains on the back of impressive earnings. Investors seem to be looking at how artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting demand for each firms' services and rewarding those who are turning the new technology to their advantage.

When Nvidia (NVDA) invests in a company, investors pay attention. The chip giant doesn't hand out multi-billion-dollar investments lightly. According to Nvidia's recent filing, the company now owns 22.2 million Nebius (NBIS) shares, representing a 9.3% stake in the AI cloud company. Nvidia's trust in Nebius didn't just appear overnight. The chip giant first became an investor in late 2024 through Nebius' $700 million private placement and has steadily increased its stake since then. Nebius stock has climbed an impressive 147.6% year-to-date (YTD), surpassing the overall market.
But Nvidia's backing isn't just about capital. It signals that Nvidia sees Nebius as an important partner in the AI infrastructure ecosystem. The business is growing at a staggering pace. However, the challenge is that much of that expectation appears to be already priced into the stock. Nebius is set to report its Q2 earnings on August 12. Is Nebius stock a buy now?

What do you do when you look up and realize that a rival has almost completely stolen your pre-IPO thunder? You ask private equity to justify a silly huge valuation, of course.
Polymarket is reportedly in talks for a fresh fundraising round that would value the company north of $20 billion, according to Bloomberg. If it closes, this would be the second markup in four months. Polymarket previously raised money all the way back in April at a $15 billion valuation, a round that included a $600 million direct investment from Intercontinental Exchange, the company that owns the New York Stock Exchange. That was already a lot of institutional money betting that betting on the future is itself a good bet.
Polymarket told CNBC in late June that its annualized revenue had climbed well above $1 billion following the May launch of its regulated U.S. exchange. Volume backs that up: north of $100 million in daily notional volume domestically, up from roughly $75 million at the end of May, with the international platform running above $150 million a day.

Wealth Enhancement is a registered investment adviser, or RIA. These firms compete with banks by advising wealthy individuals and business owners on investments in exchange for fees.

Things have gone from bad to worse for Netflix (NFLX) stock over the last year. NFLX stock fell sharply on July 17 after markets gave a thumbs down to the company's second-quarter report. While earnings were broadly in line with estimates, Netflix's Q3 guidance spooked markets.
Notably, NFLX stock also plunged following the Q1 confessional earlier this year for pretty much the same reasons. That quarter, earnings easily beat estimates, but management still did not raise the annual guidance, which was seen as a sign of a slowdown in the coming quarters. In the Q2 release, management narrowed its annual revenue guidance to a range of $51 billion to $51.4 billion, increasing the lower end by $300 million while also cutting the top end of the range by a similar amount. Netflix's Q3 revenue guidance of $12.86 billion also fell short of Street estimates.
