United will report July 16th, while American will report on July 23rd. American said Friday that it has added more flights than any competitor to the 16 U.S. host cities for the games, with an extra 27,000 seats on 12 routes to support fan travel.

The Breadwinner, a family comedy starring Nate Bargatze and Mandy Moore, is coming to digital streaming this week after the film failed to bring home the bread in theaters.

Making his feature film acting debut, the standup comedy star plays Nate Wilcox, who puts his career as a successful salesman on ice when his wife, Katie (Mandy Moore), realizes her dream by scoring a once-in-a-lifetime deal for her household invention on Shark Tank.

Don’t Miss Tonight’s ‘Manhattanhenge’ As Sun ‘Kisses The Grid’ In NYC

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 06:30:00 +0000

Topline

New York City’s last Manhattanhenge sunsets of the year are here, giving skywatchers and photographers one final chance in 2026 to see one of the world’s most spectacular urban astronomy events. On two evenings — Saturday, July 11, and Sunday, July 12 — the setting sun will align with Manhattan’s street grid, creating a dramatic sunset framed by the borough’s skyscrapers. Crowds are expected to gather along major Midtown cross streets as the sun appears to hang between buildings before slipping below the horizon. It comes exactly a month before a partial solar eclipse — the result of another solar alignment — will be visible from New York City, as well as from northeastern U.S. states and Canada.

AstraZeneca's trial flop raises a bigger question: Is its pipeline premium becoming more vulnerable?

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 05:00:01 +0000

AstraZeneca's failed late-stage trial for Wainua was never expected to have a major financial impact on the company.

Most analysts estimate the trial miss wiped just 2-4% from their valuation models. Yet the shares lost roughly twice that in a single session, suggesting the market reaction reflected more than just the loss of one drug, which was intended to treat a rare heart disease.

The disconnect has shifted attention away from Wainua itself and toward something more difficult to measure: whether the valuation premium investors have long assigned to one of Europe's most highly regarded drug pipelines is justified.

The ETF market is pushing the limits of the leverage it can handle. SK Hynix is the latest example

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 19:12:18 +0000

Next week, several exchange-traded fund companies plan to hit the market with the latest ETFs, offering a way to add leverage to bets on single stocks, in this case, on the South Korean chip giant SK Hynix, which began trading in the U.S. on Friday.

The development should come as no surprise: similar SK Hynix portfolios are already among the most popular ETF trades in South Korea's market. And there is nothing inherently wrong with the planned SK Hynix ETFs coming to the U.S. from companies including GraniteShares and ProShares. Demand for the stock — which has effectively been off the radar of most U.S. investors without a domestic listing — is "enormous," the company's chairman told CNBC.
