Webull is based in St. Petersburg, Florida, has 28.2 million users, about 85% of them in the United States, and listed on Nasdaq through a SPAC merger in 2025. The committee's concern is customer data: what could be…
The Dow fell about three times as much as the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq, so the day's weakness sat more with older industrial and financial names than with the large technology companies that dominate the other two…
The finance angle: about $40 billion of new borrowing — $10 billion in loans and $30 billion in investment-grade debt — that flows almost entirely to Nvidia as chip revenue, with private-credit firms such as Apollo and…
The finance angle is the change of funding source: $5 billion of debt at 5.25 points over the benchmark, after $16 billion of equity, means private-credit funds are now paying for a robotaxi fleet and the compute…
Lower oil and lower yields work on different parts of the market: cheaper crude trims revenue for oil producers while easing fuel costs for airlines and freight, and a lower 10-year yield reduces the discount applied…
The finance angle is the price: about $1.4 trillion, against the $852 billion at which OpenAI raised $122 billion in March, a rise of roughly 64% in seven months while the company stays private. The $30 billion would…
The gains were concentrated in large technology and AI-linked companies, so the index record says less about the rest of the market. The ISM survey shows service businesses still growing but paying sharply more for…
The $30 billion was SoftBank's share of the $122 billion round that valued OpenAI at $852 billion, alongside $50 billion committed by Amazon and $30 billion by Nvidia. OpenAI receives the cash and spends much of it on…
An empty week means no underwriting fees for the banks that run US listings and no new supply for funds that buy them. Renaissance's IPO Index was up 16.4% for the year at October 1 against 13.0% for the S&P 500, so…
The finance angle is who carries the bill for AI compute. Per the report, Broadcom agreed to lend Anthropic up to $42 billion, and Anthropic has committed $125.2 billion over five years for tensor processing unit…
Long-term Treasury yields reached a 24-year high on Thursday and mortgage rates are above 7%, so the timing of the next hike bears directly on housing demand, homebuilders and property owners who must refinance. Banks…
Fewer and smaller deals cut equity underwriting fees for investment banks and delay exits for private-equity and venture backers. Renaissance tied the slowdown to concerns about AI spending, a 19-year high in bond…
The 9.95% coupon shows what private credit charges to finance AI chips for a smaller operator: well above investment-grade borrowing costs, and payable from rental income on hardware that loses value quickly. Sharon AI…
The stress capital buffer decides how much common equity each large US bank is required to keep above the minimum, and so how much it can return through dividends and share repurchases. Averaging two years makes that…
Higher policy rates raise borrowing costs for households and companies, lift banks' deposit costs while repricing floating-rate loans, and pressure valuations of rate-sensitive groups such as homebuilders, REITs and…
Home resales drive commission income for listed brokerages and portal operators, loan volume for mortgage lenders and title insurers, and follow-on spending at home-improvement, furniture and appliance retailers. Fewer…
A shutdown delays payments and new awards for companies that sell to the federal government, chiefly defence and aerospace contractors, government IT and consulting firms, and health-care companies paid through federal…
Signalling a possible hike ahead of the November midterms put rate-sensitive sectors in focus, from banks' funding costs to homebuilders, mortgage lenders and long-duration technology stocks. Warsh also argued AI could…
A shrinking payroll count alongside inflation above 3% sharpened the Fed's dilemma between supporting jobs and containing prices. Weaker hiring hits consumer-facing retailers and restaurants through slower income…
The amount of longer-dated debt the government sells feeds into Treasury yields, and those yields are the base for mortgage rates, corporate bond pricing and bank funding. Unchanged coupon sizes mean extra borrowing is…
The release gives two different readings for listed companies. Private demand, the part that drives sales at retailers, travel firms, manufacturers and lenders, grew 3.9%, faster than the headline. The slowdown came…
Three dissents in favour of a hike signalled that the debate inside the Fed had moved from cuts to increases. That pushes up short-term funding costs and Treasury yields, which matters for banks' deposit costs…
Cheaper fuel puts money back in household budgets, which supports spending at retailers, restaurants and travel companies, while it lowers the selling price for refiners and fuel retailers. For banks, insurers and…
The five banks set the tone for the Financials sector: their trading and deal-fee lines are shared with other brokers and investment banks, and their credit-quality readings are the first look at how card and loan…
The ruling limits a president's ability to reshape the Fed board quickly, which bears on the inflation credibility of US monetary policy and on the extra yield investors require on long-term Treasuries. Bond markets…
Semi-liquid private credit funds sold to wealthy individuals are a major growth channel for listed alternative asset managers such as Blackstone, Apollo, Ares, Blue Owl and KKR, so gated withdrawals and weaker inflows…
A chair who wants less forward guidance adds uncertainty to the rate path at a time of energy-driven inflation, and that feeds into Treasury yields and the cost of capital for banks, mortgage lenders, homebuilders and…
If adopted, the rule would cut compliance and audit work, mainly for small and mid-cap issuers, which a former SEC corporation finance chief quoted in the report sees as the first to opt in. Less frequent mandated…
The split showed policymakers torn between a soft labour market and energy-driven inflation, with three voters already resisting any signal of easing. Banks' lending margins, mortgage-sensitive homebuilders and real…
