NVIDIA Q2 FY27 results
NVIDIA's fiscal second quarter came in well ahead of an already sky-high bar. Revenue reached $96.2 billion, up 106% year-over-year and 18% from the prior quarter, while non-GAAP earnings per share hit $2.22. After a run of quarters where NVIDIA beat estimates and the stock sold off anyway, this print finally got the reaction the numbers deserved.

Anthropic's IPO looms: can the valuation hold?
Anthropic's IPO is entering its countdown phase and could become a key litmus test for AI sector valuations. Can rapid growth and a single quarter of profitability offset sky-high compute costs? Q3 and Q4 earnings performance will be the key to validating the $2 trillion price tag.

Gold outlook: bulls target $4,400 again
Gold rose for a second consecutive week, with cooling inflation and central bank buying continuing to provide support — but geopolitical turbulence kept $4,400–$4,450 firmly in play as a key resistance zone. As September rate-hike expectations ease, market attention is shifting to the FOMC minutes and the Jackson Hole symposium, where Warsh's policy remarks could prove pivotal for gold's next move.

Alibaba Q1 FY27 earnings preview
The market expects Alibaba's profitability to come under clear pressure this quarter, even as analyst ratings lean almost unanimously bullish.

Gold outlook: bulls break the stalemate
Gold has broken out of a six-week range and cleared $4,300. Easing geopolitical tensions have taken some of the heat out of inflation fears, while a weak jobs report has further dented September rate-hike expectations — leaving gold's bullish momentum noticeably stronger.

The yen has staged a strong rebound, with USDJPY falling from around 164 to the 155 region as markets reassess the impact of FX intervention.

Gold outlook: Fed holds, hawks speak up
The Fed's biggest internal split since 2016 still left the rate path frustratingly unclear. Gold has been grinding between $4,000 and $4,200 for weeks, caught between rate expectations, dollar moves, and geopolitical headlines. This week, U.S.-Iran talks and Friday's nonfarm payrolls report could finally give the market something to trade.
