US Futures Edge Higher Before SpaceX and Jobs Test
Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.6 percent, while S&P 500 and Dow futures each gained 0.1 percent as investors assessed conflicting US-Iran signals and prepared for SpaceX’s first earnings report since its June market debut.
Technology shares are recovering, but confidence remains constrained by questions over AI infrastructure spending, limited traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and oil prices that remain above pre-war levels. Rising crude and Treasury yields could reinforce inflation risks and complicate the Federal Reserve outlook ahead of the July employment report.
Through BancaraX and MetaTrader 5, investors can monitor US futures, technology earnings, oil, yields and the cross-asset signals shaping market sentiment.
Will SpaceX and AMD strengthen the technology rebound, or will geopolitical and inflation risks keep the rally fragile?

Gold Holds Near $4,050 Before the US Jobs Test
Spot gold slipped 0.1 percent to $4,049.99 an ounce, while futures rose 0.4 percent to $4,105.60 as investors weighed Middle East risks, a firmer dollar and uncertainty over the Federal Reserve’s next move.
Bullion remains anchored near the $4,000 to $4,100 range. Conflicting US-Iran signals over the Strait of Hormuz are keeping energy-driven inflation risks alive, while hawkish Federal Reserve commentary has reinforced expectations that interest rates could remain elevated.
Through BancaraX and MetaTrader 5, investors can monitor gold alongside the dollar, oil, Treasury yields and the technical levels shaping its next move.
Will weaker US labour data revive demand for gold, or will persistent inflation and higher rates force another test of $4,000?

Bitcoin Nears $64,000 as Corporate Selling Tests Support
Bitcoin rebounded from roughly $62,227 to as high as $64,117 before easing towards $63,545, gaining about 1.6 percent over 24 hours despite fresh selling from Strategy, miners and suspected Coldcard-related wallet movements.
Strategy sold 1,638 Bitcoin for $104.7 million to fund dividends, repurchases and reserves, while analysts estimated miners sold another 1,774 Bitcoin. Yet buyers continue to defend the $60,000 region, with $65,000 to $66,500 remaining the critical resistance zone for confirming a broader recovery.
Through BancaraX and MetaTrader 5, investors can monitor selected digital-asset CFDs, technical momentum and the market response to corporate supply and custody risks.
Will Bitcoin absorb the latest distribution and clear $66,500, or will weak momentum force another test of $60,000?

HSBC Converts Wealth Growth Into a $1 Billion Buyback
HSBC reported first-half pretax profit of $19.5 billion, up 23 percent from $15.8 billion a year earlier and ahead of the $18.9 billion consensus. Revenue rose 16 percent, while second-quarter net interest income increased 9 percent to $9.29 billion.
The bank’s 19.1 percent annualised return on tangible equity and target of at least $46 billion in 2026 banking net interest income signal strong earnings durability. The renewed $1 billion buyback also demonstrates capital flexibility, supported by a CET1 target range of 14 percent to 14.5 percent and continued wealth expansion in Hong Kong.
Through BancaraX and TipRanks, investors can monitor HSBC, analyst revisions, capital returns and the earnings signals shaping global banking valuations.
Will wealth-management growth and resilient margins sustain HSBC’s returns, or will regulatory pressure and slower rate income temper the outlook?

European Shares Approach Records as Earnings Divide Markets
The STOXX 600 rose 0.4 percent towards fresh record highs as strong results from HSBC and Bayer supported risk appetite. Germany’s DAX gained 0.3 percent, Italy’s FTSE MIB advanced 1 percent and the FTSE 100 added 0.2 percent.
HSBC announced a new $1 billion buyback after beating profit expectations, while Bayer climbed 4.8 percent on stronger adjusted EBITDA. Lufthansa fell 10.6 percent after cutting its outlook, showing that resilient balance sheets are supporting the wider market even as weaker consumer demand and company-specific execution create sharp dispersion.
Through BancaraX and TipRanks, investors can monitor European indices, earnings revisions, sector rotations and the valuation signals shaping regional equities.
Will banking and pharmaceutical strength carry European markets to new records, or will consumer weakness and geopolitical risk interrupt the advance?
