NVIDIA Earnings Tonight: Will AI Growth Justify the Market's Sky-High Expectations?
Introduction Tonight, after the U.S. market closes on 26 August 2026, $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ will release its Fiscal Q2 2027 earnings results. This is not just another earnings announcement.

🟡 Gold ETFs Keep Climbing: Is This Rally Built to Last?
Gold pushed to fresh record highs in 2026, and the ETFs that track it have been swept along for the ride. Gold hit roughly $5,600 an ounce in January before pulling back over 20% in its worst quarter since 2013 — then rebounding to challenge $4,500 by August.

The question now is: what's actually driving this, and can it keep going? 🔍 Why: Demand Is Converging From Every Angle Gold's rally isn't being driven by one type of buyer — it's structural, with several demand sources moving at once: Central bank reserve buying Record ETF inflows Record physical (bar and coin) demand in Asia Rising concern over sovereign debt and currency debasement That convergence — sovereign, institutional, and retail d

BTC has gained roughly 28% in August, putting it on track for its strongest monthly performance since November 2024. It has since pulled back toward $78,000, showing that the $80,000–$81,200 zone remains a meaningful resistance area. What is driving the rally? 1. The “debasement trade” is back The U.S. Treasury’s expanded purchases of longer-dated government bonds have helped ease bond yields, but they have also added pressure to the dollar.
