Why Roblox Had Its Worst Day Ever After Earnings
I am an avid investor with a major focus on small cap companies with experience in investing in US, Canadian, and European markets. My investment philosophy to generating great returns on the stock market revolves around identifying mispriced securities by understanding the drivers behind a company’s financials, and ultimately, most often revealed by a DCF model valuation. This methodology doesn’t limit an investor into rigid traditional value, dividend, or growth investing, but rather accounts for all of a stock’s prospects to determine the risk-to-reward.

Wall Street extended its late-month rebound on Friday, but it wasn’t enough to offset what’s been a tough July for equities.

Despite these gains, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq weren’t able to finish the month higher. The Nasdaq ended July down 3.2%, while the S&P 500 fell 0.1%. The Dow ended the month higher, up 0.3%.

I’m an individual investor looking to grow my wealth over the long term. I’ve tried many different styles of investing over the last 25 years and have found that buying dividend growth stocks and reinvesting the dividends is one of the easiest ways to grow wealth over the long term. Over the years, I’ve owned stocks, options, ETFs, treasury notes, and mutual funds. I operate a blog, HarvestingDividends.com, that provides information on the S&P Dividend Aristocrats and other dividend growth stocks.

Treasury yields extended their recent gains Friday after three Federal Reserve officials explained why they cast dissenting votes in favor of raising interest rate this week.
Yields, which rise when bond prices fall, were also driven higher by economic data, including a stronger-than-expected reading on Chicago-area economic activity.
The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note settled at 4.743%, according to Tradeweb, its highest closing level since January 2025. The 30-year yield closed at 5.274%, its highest since July 2007.
South Korean stocks surged on Friday, with the KOSPI index rising nearly 18%.
Despite the dramatic gains, the index was still down for the week and the month, a testament to how volatile Korean equities have been as of late.
Not counting today, the KOSPI has gained more than 10% in a single day in only six instances, according to Dow Jones Market Data. History shows that in the week following those six times, the S&P 500 traded lower two-thirds of the time, with an average decline of 1.6%.
1539 ET – Oil futures end July with hefty gains as the month saw renewed Iranian attacks on shipping in a dispute with the U.S. over control of the Strait of Hormuz. Concerns that a return to negotiations could quickly reduce risk premium and lead to oversupply have kept prices from reaching the lofty levels seen in March and April. “Traders are essentially betting on two very different geopolitical outcomes, and neither one is a safe assumption right now,” says Baron Lamarre, co-founder of Index Litro and former head of trading at Petronas. “My base view is we won’t end up with either a massive glut or a full-blown supply crisis by the end of the year,” he adds. “Instead, we’re in for a period of stubbornly tight, volatile conditions that will stick around longer than the optimists are hoping.” WTI settles up 1.3% at $84.67 a barrel for a 22% monthly gain. Brent for September delivery goes off the board at $90.12 a barrel, up 1.2% on the day and up 24% from the end of June.(anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
Oil Futures on Track for Big Monthly Gains
0951 ET – Oil futures turn higher in early U.S. trading and are on track for hefty gains for July, which saw the U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding fall apart and Iran resume attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. “All things held equal, the market should go a lot higher and led by diesel and gasoline as refinery run rates arejust too low on a lack of crude,” Scott Shelton of TP ICAP says in a note. “The reality is that we are back to a very small amount of crude versus what is needed.” WTI is up 2.2% at $85.42 a barrel. September Brent is 1.5% higher at $90.36 ahead of today’s expiry, while the October contract gains 1.8% to $88.47.(anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
