🚨 IS THE RALLY HANGING BY A THREAD? A WAVE OF UNEASE STARTS TO TAKE HOLD OF WALL STREET
After withstanding war, inflation, and doubts about the billions in investments in artificial intelligence, American markets are entering a decisive week. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq have logged two consecutive weeks of decline for the first time since March, even though the benchmark index is still less than 3% below its all-time high.
The tension is coming from multiple fronts: the conflict in the Middle East is pushing oil prices, yields on U.S. Treasury bonds have reached their highest levels in more than a year, and tech giants continue to dramatically increase their spending on chips, energy, and data centers for AI. Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta, and other major companies have already raised more than $200 billion in bonds and loans this year, in addition to announcing about $115 billion in stock issuance.
Alphabet has intensified fears by raising its outlook for 2026 investments to a range between $195 billion and $205 billion. Its shares fell 7.8% over the week and are down 15% since the announcement of an issuance of at least $80 billion in shares. Now, investors are questioning whether future AI profits will be enough to justify such massive expenses. (The Wall Street Journal)
The next test will be explosive: Microsoft and Meta will report results on the same day that the Federal Reserve announces one of the most unpredictable interest-rate decisions in recent years. The economy is still growing and corporate earnings remain solid, but the balance between optimism and risk seems increasingly fragile.

ARSENAL WITHOUT LIMIT: TRUMP DROPS A MAJOR OFFENSIVE AGAINST IRAN
Donald Trump called off a broad military escalation against Iran after U.S. officials warned of the rapid depletion of air-defense ammunition stockpiles. According to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. was prepared to launch an intense bombing campaign that could last up to two weeks.
The Pentagon assesses that a prolonged war could undermine the ability to protect bases, troops, and allies in the Middle East. The concern involves mainly Patriot interceptors and other missile-defense systems, which are essential to deter Iranian drones and ballistic missiles. Officials estimate that at least 1,500 Patriot interceptors have already been used since the start of the conflict, leaving fewer than 1,000 available. (The Wall Street Journal)
The pause also creates room for negotiations aimed at restoring navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic route through which about 20% of the oil and gas traded globally moves. Oman serves as a mediator, while Gulf countries pressure Washington and Tehran to reduce hostilities. (AP News)
Trump denies that the United States is running out of ammunition and says all options remain on the table. However, the debate highlights a bigger strategic problem: spending thousands of interceptors in the Middle East could weaken America's ability to face future crises, especially a potential war against China.
The suspension of attacks has already temporarily reduced tension in markets, driving down oil and pushing up U.S. stock index futures. Still, it is unclear whether the move represents the start of a diplomatic exit or merely a pause before an even more destructive offensive. (MarketWatch)

AI hasn’t killed jobs: tech giants are relaunching a wave of hiring!
While many experts predicted large-scale job losses driven by artificial intelligence, the reality is moving in a very different direction. According to The Wall Street Journal, several major companies, including Alphabet, CSX, and Booz Allen Hamilton, are stepping up their recruiting after months of caution.
The most sought-after roles are in cybersecurity, sales, engineering, digital infrastructure, and jobs that can fully leverage AI tools. Companies are now looking for profiles able to collaborate with artificial intelligence rather than be replaced by it, while investing in a new generation of talent that masters these technologies.
This turnaround shows that AI is profoundly transforming the job market, but it is also creating new opportunities. Human skills, adaptability, and the ability to integrate AI into business processes are becoming major strategic advantages.

India’s “Cockroach Movement” Forces Education Minister to Resign
India’s Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned after weeks of mass protests over leaked and allegedly sold medical college entrance exams that affected millions of students.
The demonstrations were led by the Cockroach Janta Party, or CJP, a youth movement that began as an internet joke after unemployed young Indians felt they had been compared to “cockroaches.” It quickly evolved into a national campaign demanding accountability, exam reforms and better opportunities for India’s younger generation.
According to CNN, tens of thousands joined the protests, while clashes with police and accusations of excessive force intensified public anger. The movement is now demanding compensation for affected families and punishment for officers involved in the crackdown.
What began as a meme has become a powerful political warning to Narendra Modi’s government: India’s frustrated youth are increasingly organized—and they are no longer willing to remain silent.

THE WAR EXPANDS — AND OIL MARKETS ERUPT
The conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran is spreading across new fronts. Ukraine has reportedly attacked infrastructure linked to an alleged Russian weapons supply route to Tehran, while Saudi Arabia has intensified military action against Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis.
The escalation is now threatening energy flows through the Black Sea and the Red Sea at the same time. Tanker attacks, damaged export infrastructure and longer shipping routes have pushed some physical crude grades close to $110 a barrel, while Brent recently surpassed $100.
What began as a regional confrontation is rapidly becoming a global energy shock—raising transportation costs, reigniting inflation fears and putting consumers and central banks under fresh pressure.

Trump Administration Has Invested About $26.7 Billion in Equity Stakes Across 30 Deals
The Trump administration has invested about $26.7 billion through 30 equity or quasi-equity deals involving companies including Intel, MP Materials, and U.S. Steel. According to Odaily, the holdings are spread across multiple government departments, and there is no unified public portfolio disclosure system or a supervision and regular reporting mechanism like the TARP program during the 2008 financial crisis.
The stakes are held across at least four departments: the Commerce Department with 17 deals, the Defense Department with seven, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation with six, and the Energy Department with two. The largest single investment is the Commerce Department's 9.9% stake in Intel. White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said the equity investments are “like a down payment for the United States to establish a sovereign wealth fund.”

OBESITY IMPOSES AN INVISIBLE TAX ON AMERICANS
In the United States, weight doesn’t just take a toll on health: it can also reduce the chances of finding a job, getting a promotion, or even building a relationship. According to The Economist, a study by economist Rebecca Diamond uses GLP-1 treatments as a real-world experiment to measure this “obesity penalty.”
Eighteen months after treatment began, among 100 women who were initially unemployed, about 27 more had found work compared with a comparable group that had not yet started the medications. Among single women, nearly 29 out of 100 additional women had found a partner.
These results suggest that weight loss sometimes improves health, but also reveals a more troubling reality: appearance-based biases continue to profoundly influence professional and social life. The cost of the drugs, often high and sometimes paid directly by patients, may nevertheless turn the “bodily tax” into a privilege reserved for the better-off.

$LA 🧠 adds 15.87% on 6.38M traded. Lagrange develops cryptographic infrastructure for verifiable AI and decentralized computation, with LA coordinating clients, proof generators and token holders. Its AI-verification narrative gives it a stronger technical foundation than many short-lived momentum assets.
$BOME 📖 climbs 17.39% with 3.99M in volume. Launched on Solana, BOOK OF MEME combines meme culture with decentralized digital storage. Its price remains heavily sentiment-driven, but renewed trading activity can produce rapid continuation during speculative market rotations.
$KAITO 🤖 advances 17.30% with 15.20M traded. Kaito uses artificial intelligence to organize crypto information and quantify online attention, while its token functions as the currency of its InfoFi ecosystem. The combination of AI utility and relatively strong volume supports further upside potential.
$DIA 🔮 gains 28% on 10.17M in activity. Its oracle network sources data directly from primary markets and already supports 60+ blockchains, 100+ data sources and 200+ applications. That established infrastructure could help sustain demand beyond the initial breakout.
$EUL 🧮 rises 34.48% with the strongest turnover among the leaders at 46.39M. Euler’s token provides governance rights, platform rewards and participation in Fee Flow auctions. Its established DeFi lending history gives the rally more substance, although an advance above 30% increases profit-taking risk.
$ESP ☕ leads with a 46.26% gain and 22.20M in volume. Espresso is a high-performance network built for custom chains, fast settlement and cross-chain connectivity, while ESP can be delegated to validators for staking rewards. Strong momentum and meaningful liquidity make it today’s leading continuation candidate.
"I Don’t Agree With All This War" — Even Republicans Begin to Lose Faith in Trump’s Economy
Voters chose Donald Trump promising to fix an economy battered by inflation. But higher gas and energy prices caused by Trump’s war with Iran appear to be eroding that optimism—this month a Washington Post-Ipsos poll found that 18% of Republicans, nearly one in five, feel worse economically since Trump began his second term, compared with just 4% who said the same in September 2018 at the same point in his first term. Only 34% of Republicans say they feel better under Trump, versus 53% who said the same six years ago. A Republican voter interviewed summed up the sentiment bluntly: "I don’t agree with all this war thing," she said, even as she acknowledged that "I guess he is trying."
The wear and tear isn’t limited to the party’s base. A Washington Post-Ipsos poll published in mid-July found that 65% disapprove of the president’s handling of the economy—a figure that is shaping up as a central issue ahead of the November midterm elections. The conflict with Iran, which is now spreading to other countries in the Middle East, keeps oil prices high, filtering into the economy and driving up electricity and food costs—while Trump’s overall 72% approval among Republicans remains solid, although two-thirds rated his specific handling of the war with Iran positively, far from the party’s full backing. The White House insists that the underlying economy is strong thanks to tax cuts and deregulation—but for a growing number of its own voters, the promise of a "golden age" is starting to sound more and more distant. 🇺🇸⚠️

Liberland: The Crypto Billionaires’ Nation Where Money Can Buy Political Power
On a disputed 7-square-kilometer strip between Serbia and Croatia, a self-declared micronation is trying to reinvent government through blockchain. Liberland rewards financial contributions with “Merit” tokens, and the more tokens a person holds, the greater their influence over political leadership.
Founded in 2015, the project claims 1,295 registered citizens and more than 812,000 citizenship applications. Yet no internationally recognized country formally recognizes Liberland, while access to its largely undeveloped territory remains difficult.
The experiment has attracted support from around 30 billionaires, including Tron founder Justin Sun, who serves as Liberland’s prime minister. Its supporters believe blockchain could eventually replace traditional state institutions, turning governance, citizenship and voting power into programmable digital assets.
Critics, however, argue that the system resembles the property-based voting models of past centuries—only now wealth is measured in tokens.

Alpha Market Watch
$CROSS 🌉 CROSS looks like the strongest continuation candidate, up 27.26% with roughly $6.85M in volume. That combination of the biggest percentage move and solid liquidity gives it the clearest momentum profile among the names shown. As a smaller-cap token, CROSS appears to trade in fast cycles, where sudden attention can lead to sharp upside extensions. If buyers keep supporting this move, it has the best chance of staying in focus through the session.
$UB 😊 UB stands out rising 19.63% on about $5.70M in volume. Its history, judging by its profile as a lighter-cap token, seems tied to bursts of trader attention rather than slow, steady accumulation, which makes it a classic momentum asset. Compared with weaker movers lower on the list, UB still has enough participation behind it to suggest that today’s push may not be finished yet.
$SOON ⏳ SOON gains 16.81% with around $1.67M traded, making it the third pick for upside potential today. The move is smaller than CROSS and UB in liquidity terms, but the percentage rise is still strong enough to keep it relevant. Its market history looks more speculative and thinly traded, which means higher volatility but also more room for fast repricing when momentum appears. That makes SOON a riskier name, yet still one of the top candidates for additional upside in this session.

📞 Behind the scenes reveal: Netanyahu thwarted Lindsey Graham’s plan to expand the war against Iran
Exclusive, previously unreleased images obtained by The Wall Street Journal show that former Senator Lindsey Graham advocated for an even greater escalation of the conflict with Iran and even planned to persuade Donald Trump to broaden the offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon. However, in a phone call, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu advised him to back off, saying that at that moment the focus should remain exclusively on Iran to avoid an even wider regional war.
The recordings also reveal Graham’s strong involvement behind the scenes in the U.S. and Israel strategy, working to build political and international support for the campaign against Tehran. The material is part of an as-yet-unreleased documentary about the senator, who passed away this month, and provides a rare glimpse into the private discussions that shaped one of the biggest geopolitical crises of 2026.

🔥 HISTORIC FIRES HIT FRANCE AND SPAIN: 280,000 PEOPLE EVACUATED
France and Spain are facing one of the worst wildfire crises in recent years. Nearly 280,000 people have had to abandon homes, hotels, and tourist areas as thousands of firefighters battle flames fueled by extreme temperatures, strong winds, and completely dry vegetation.
In southwestern France, the fire threatens regions such as Gironde and the Bay of Arcachon. Residents and tourists fled Cap Ferret via roads and boats, while dozens of hotspots remain active and hundreds of properties have been damaged or destroyed.
In Spain, several fires to the west of Madrid merged to form a massive front of flames. The Government declared a national emergency for wildfires and mobilized the military, aircraft, and specialized teams.
The European Union also activated its civil protection mechanism to send international reinforcements. The tragedy once again highlights how prolonged heatwaves and droughts are turning European summers into increasingly dangerous seasons. 🔥🇫🇷🇪🇸

🚀 STARSHIP SCORES A MAJOR WIN AS SPACEX PUSHES DEEPER INTO THE STARLINK ERA
SpaceX has successfully completed its first major Starship test flight since going public, deploying 20 next-generation Starlink satellites that connected to the network and began transmitting data.
The Super Heavy booster performed a controlled ocean landing near the Gulf of Mexico, although some engines failed to ignite as planned during its descent. Starship later re-entered the atmosphere and achieved what the company described as its smoothest-ever landing in the Indian Ocean.
SpaceX has already invested more than $15 billion in Starship, which is expected to support larger Starlink deployments, heavy cargo missions and NASA’s Artemis lunar program. The company holds contracts worth roughly $4 billion to develop a lunar version capable of carrying astronauts to the Moon.
SpaceX shares rose 3.3% to $123.10 following the test, as investors weighed the technological progress against the remaining challenges—including orbital refueling, rapid consecutive launches and full certification for crewed missions. 🚀🌕
