๐ช๏ธ Mega Caps & Mergers & Mayhem, Oh My
Nothing says "stability" like escalating a random trade war mid-summer.

๐ Market Vibes
Wall Street's serving buffet vibes today - a $4T tech feast, mid-air earnings pops, global snack consolidation, and one surprise trade war for dessert. Stocks are mostly steady, but the headlines are anything but. Welcome to Thursday: where cereal brands get bought by chocolate empires and Nvidia turns into an economic indicator.
Hold up - before we hit you with market chaos and mega-cap madness... we wanted you to see this message from our friends at Crypto 101๐
As Coinbase spends $2.9B: Hedge funds reveal next big moves
Coinbase just made a massive $2.9 billion bet on crypto's future by acquiring options giant Deribit. This is the kind of corporate validation that signals this bull run has serious legs.
But what does this mean for your crypto investments?
That's exactly what you'll learn at the upcoming Crypto Hedge Fund Summit, where I've gathered 20+ elite hedge fund managers and institutional advisors to share their insights.
๐ช๏ธ Mega Caps & Mergers & Mayhem, Oh My
๐ Nvidia Hits $4 Trillion - Who's Next? Nvidia just became the first company to hit $4T, leaving Apple and Microsoft staring at its taillights. The trillion-dollar club suddenly feels crowded... so who's next to level up? Amazon's lurking, Meta's bulking, and don't count out Tesla if the meme gods return.
๐ฆ Tariff Tsunami Incoming: Trump's back with a 50% tariff on Brazilian exports. Because nothing says "stability" like escalating a random trade war mid-summer.
๐ FTSE Goes Full Beast Mode: The UK's FTSE 100 hits record highs, thanks to mining stocks and Big Pharma flexing through the global chaos.
โ๏ธ Delta Soars on Earnings Beat: Delta stock jumps after crushing Q2 and raising guidance, with the CEO saying trade clarity and a smaller tax bill are finally clearing the runway. Flyers are back, margins are up, and apparently even Wall Street loves a good middle seat now.
๐ซ Ferrero Buys Kellogg's Snack Biz: Italy's Ferrero is shelling out $3.1B to scoop up Kellogg's cereal and snack brands. Pop-Tarts, Cheez-Its, and Pringles now join Nutella and Kinder in one delicious corporate pantry. Markets call it a sweet deal - and your childhood lunchbox just got acquired.
๐ธ Trade Talk
Delta's flying high, and it's not just the planes. Earnings crushed, guidance got a glow-up, and the CEO basically said the skies are finally clear. Business travel is back, margins are clean, and Wall Street's suddenly a big fan of legroom again - even if they're still charging you $42 for pretzels.

Musk's panic move: What the world's richest man fears is coming
Elon Muskโs exit from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was more than just a headline - it was a strategic retreat that spoke volumes. For the world's richest man to step back from his own cost-slashing crusade suggests a deeper shift - not in politics, but in preparation.

Stat of the Day:
Four people were arrested in the UK for cyberattacks targeting government infrastructure... on the same day the FTSE 100 hit an all-time high.
Because obviously a few digital sieges aren't enough to rattle markets - not when AstraZeneca's carrying the index like it's leg day.
๐งจThe Outrage Meter
Pop-Tarts + Nutella = Late Capitalism Bingo
Ferrero just dropped $3.1B to buy up Kellogg's snack brands, meaning your childhood favorites now answer to an Italian chocolate empire. Is it synergy... or a dystopian pantry consolidation play? Either way, your guilty pleasures just went multinational.
