$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ Asian investors account for roughly 75% to 80% of all overnight U.S. trading volume. Since the U.S. overnight session (8:00 PM to 4:00 AM ET) aligns with daytime business hours in Asia, regional retail investors use this window to trade U.S. equities without staying up all night. Data from Blue Ocean ATS—the primary alternative trading system for the 24/5 U.S. stock market—breaks down the volume by country: - South Korea: Contributes the single largest share, making up about 40% to 65% of the platform's entire overnight volume depending on regional retail momentum. - Other Asia-Pacific Markets: Account for another roughly 30%, driven heavily by active traders in Japan, Hong Kong
$Intel(INTC)$ Nvidia's quarterly revenue was mostly flat for six quarters before it took off. In fact, it dropped for four consecutive quarters from Q1 '23 through Q2 '24. It was in Q3 '24 that they really took off and haven't looked back since. Some posters are so focused on Intel's past revenue and earnings that they might miss the ramp that's just beginning. The AI training boom that drove GPU sales is shifting to the AI agentic boom, which will drive CPU sales.
Sixth green day in a row. Tuesday made it six sessions without a real breakdown. $Groupon(GRPN)$ closed at $24.06, up 1.9% from Monday's $23.60, after touching as high as $24.74 intraday. Volume cooled slightly to 1.82M shares but stayed above average, which suggests this wasn't a low-conviction grind. Taking a step back, the run is hard to ignore: from $16.76 to $24.06 in six trading days, roughly a 43% gain off the recent low. That shows sustained buying pressure, not a one-day spike that fades. Short float remains elevated at over 60%, and the next real catalyst, earnings (around Aug 4–12), is still weeks out. Until then, every green close adds a bit more pressure to the short side. The trend is still up.
