Reddit reported a strong second quarter but spooked investors by mentioning in an investor letter that traffic from search engines had grown "choppy."
The company's total revenue of $805 million jumped 61% compared to the year-ago quarter while net income was $253 million, up 183%. These beat Wall Street's expectations. Plus, the company said it expects to hit revenue of $860 million to $870 million with healthy earnings before taxes next quarter as well, which beat expected guidance.
Normally, telling investors that they can expect even better results to come would cause a stock to rise. But the stock slid over 10% in after-hours trading.
The culprit was likely CEO Steve Huffman's warning in that separate letter to shareholders. "Search referrals were choppy in the quarter, and traffic was more volatile later in the quarter, but the bigger picture is unchanged: the commercial business is strong," he wrote.
AI is clearly changing the search engine landscape — and investors seem to fear that Reddit's traffic may suffer.

When trading leveraged sector products, especially those with three times the movement of a market segment that is already volatile, active traders typically focus on the obvious risk of daily leverage decay. Because these products reset their exposure daily, holding them across choppy or sideways markets leads to performance drag versus the underlying ETF, index, or stock.
However, a lesser-understood risk sits inside products like the Direxion Daily Semiconductors Top 5 Bull 2X ETF (TSXU) and the Direxion Daily Semiconductors Top 5 Bear 2X ETF (TSXD).

The Euro has gone back and forth during the course of the trading session here on Tuesday as we continue to hang on by a thread. We are at the bottom of a recent consolidation area, and I do think at least at this point in time there are a lot of questions to ask when it comes to the Euro. Interest rates in America will be a big driver typically of this currency pair, and despite the fact that rates have drifted a little bit lower, they are still uncomfortably high, and there are concerns in the Middle East, which has a major influence on that as well.
The recent area of consolidation could be in the process of trying to form a double bottom; we'll just have to wait and see. Short-term rallies will more likely than not continue to be swimming upstream if recent history is to be believed.
The pound initially tried to rally but then gave back gains as the market is still hanging around the 1.33 level. This is with elevated US rates. There are concerns in the Middle East, and sometimes traders will run to the US dollar in times of concern. It is possible that's what's going on here. The market is likely to continue to be noisy, but it has decidedly turned bearish over the last couple of weeks.
And the US dollar continues to grind higher against the Swiss Franc. The positive swap differential favors the US dollar as traders continue to see value in the greenback. We had recently consolidated and now have broken out of that little consolidation range to show increasing bullish pressure.
The market is typically one that's very choppy and somewhat sideways, and more of a grind even when it does trend, so patience is something that I typically find I have to employ here against the Franc. But getting paid at the end of every day is a huge bonus here with that positive swap, and right now I think that is one of the main drivers.

Global equities ended last week little changed in local currency and up 0.6% in sterling terms. This continued the choppy pattern of recent weeks with markets currently down 1.5-2% from their peak in early June. The US underperformed with a gain of 0.3% in sterling terms while the UK and emerging markets were both up around 1.3%.
Meanwhile, government bonds in the US and UK both lost 0.5% with yields re-testing their highs in early May. 10-year UK gilt yields tested 5.1% while US yields reached 4.7%, before retreating a bit.
The war with Iran was centre stage with renewed attacks by both sides and Trump once again upping his threats. The new ingredient this time was that concerns were not limited to the Strait of Hormuz but extended to the Bab El Mandeb Strait with the Houthis exchanging blows with Saudi Arabia and threatening to close the waterway.
The importance of this new chokepoint is two-fold. First, it threatens Saudi's ability to divert via its pipeline a good part of its oil production to the Red Sea rather than the Strait of Hormuz. Second, it poses a threat to container traffic more generally which use the Suez Canal to avoid a long and costly diversion around the African coast.
Oil duly moved back up to $100 per barrel mid-week from a low of close to $70pb all of three weeks ago. But it is back down to $88pb this morning as negotiations between the US and Iran started up once again over the weekend, easing fears of a major escalation. However, this morning, Iran said it is not seeking new peace talks, so the confusion continues.
Even so, the fact remains that Trump appears to have chickened out yet again – be it because the hike in oil prices has pushed US gasoline prices back above $4 per gallon, the rise in US Treasury yields has caused concerns or because, as has been reported, the US lacks the necessary munitions.

As Ben retirement announcement was being made official at Trent Bridge on a blazing Sunday afternoon, the crowd stood up and started cheering. The England captain, at the top of his bowling mark, stopped for a moment, showed no reaction and charged in. And what resulted seemed surreal.

A tiring Stokes induced a nick off New Zealand batter Zak Foulkes’ bat and the second slip Harry Brook completed a catch, the team celebrating as if there’s no tomorrow. The cheer across the ground turned into an eruption of emotion — a celebration of England’s greatest allrounder after Ian Botham and the best world cricket has seen since Jacques Kallis. Stokes was coming back from a one-match ban following a bar brawl in this Test match. On the morning of Day 4, he had told his teammates that this would be his last Test, saying “reasons can wait for another day”. Playing only one format, one felt Stokes was good enough for a few more years of Test cricket. But it wasn’t to be.

Probably, this latest controversy was the last straw in a career that has had its share of troubles — he was once banned in 2017 after a bar brawl in Bristol. Injuries, too, had taken a severe toll on his body, Stokes was often forced to take breaks in the past few years. An all-format matchwinner, an ODI and T20 World Cup winner, scorer of one of the greatest Ashes centuries of all time, Stokes had achieved everything. But numbers can’t explain Stokes — the 35year-old was way more than that. He was an iconoclast, a player who could face fire with fire.

His 135 against Australia at Headingley, taking his team to a miraculous one-wicket win will always be remembered as one of the greatest Test innings ever played. Playing with No. 11, the attack that he launched on Australia was a turning point for English cricket.
It wasn’t one-off. Every time England were in trouble, Stokes seemed to rise, be it during the ODI World Cup final win in Lord’s in 2019 or the 2022 T20 World Cup final triumph against Pakistan in Melbourne. Stokes was everywhere, guiding England through choppy waters.

Barclays has increased its year-end target for the S&P 500 to 7,800 from 7,650 and introduced a 2027 target of 8,800, reflecting a more optimistic earnings outlook even as investors face a more challenging market environment in the months ahead.
The bank said the outlook for equities remains mixed, with several competing forces influencing sentiment. "Equities remain choppy as peace talks stop and start, and questions linger around AI spend, funding and monetization, higher for longer rates, and consumer strength," strategists led by Venu Krishna wrote.
According to Barclays, economic conditions continue to support a constructive stance on stocks. Labour market data remain resilient enough to ease recession concerns, although the same strength could delay monetary easing. The team also noted that cost pressures are beginning to build again but have not yet reached levels that would threaten the broader expansion.
Even so, "the balance of risks still leans constructive," the strategists said.
Barclays raised its 2026 earnings-per-share forecast for the S&P 500 to $337 from $321. The estimate remains slightly below the broader market consensus of $341 but implies annual earnings growth of roughly 21% compared with the bank's estimate of $279 for 2025.

BITU’s Decay Problem: Why This Bitcoin ETF Lost 31% While Bitcoin Fell Just 10%

Volatility decay erodes returns when Bitcoin moves sideways or reverses: a 50% Bitcoin drawdown would near-total wipeout the leveraged fund.
BITU works only for single-day trades or strong uptrends; buy-and-hold investors face compounding losses from daily resets in choppy markets.
The ******* yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 stocks and BITU wasn't one of them. Get them here FREE.
ProShares Ultra Bitcoin ETF (NYSEARCA:BITU) gives traders 2x daily exposure to the Bloomberg Bitcoin Index through swaps, with a 0.98% expense ratio. The appeal is simple: when Bitcoin moves, BITU moves twice as hard, without the hassle of holding crypto directly. The structure is complex, and the gap between what holders expect and what they get is where the real risk lives.
BITU resets daily. The fund delivers 2x of one trading day's Bitcoin return, then starts over. Compounded across many days, results diverge from a static 2x of Bitcoin's ******* ulative move, and the divergence almost always works against the holder when the path is choppy.
