Greenlight Capital's Einhorn Is Net Long Europe, Neutral on US
Einhorn is also wary of America's ability to accept pain when it comes to a trade war with China, because 'no one seems to be interested in empty shelves,' he said in an interview at the Sohn conference in Montreal on Wednesday. But China's technological sophistication, its cheaper labor and the fact that it's long been preparing for economic conflict with the US means America should 'be prepared to be punched in the face.'

Palantir stock falls 9%, extending losing streak to 5 trading days, as tech trade cools
Palantir (PLTR) stock fell more than 9% in afternoon trading on Tuesday, putting shares on track for their fifth-straight losing session as investors continue to rotate away from some of the hottest tech names that have powered stocks to all-time highs in 2025. Palantir stock rose more than 150% from its April low through its second quarter earnings report, which saw the company's revenue top $1 billion in a single quarter for the first time. Data from market data provider Barchart showed Tuesday's slide would mark Palantir's longest losing streak since March. Palantir was also under pressure after a bearish report by short-seller Citron Research published Monday predicted a price target of $40. The firm's founder, Andew Left, called the target "generous." Citron said it derived its price target based on comparing Palantir to OpenAI's ( recent $500 billion valuation as the ChatGPT giant looks to sell several billion dollars of stock. Palantir is not alone in seeing some investors move away from the stock in recent days. The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK), which tracks technology stocks, was down more than 1.5% in mid-day trading on Tuesday. AI superstar Nvidia (NVDA) was down more than 3%, its chip rival AMD stock fell more than 5%. Meta (META) — which has thrown huge sums of CapEx into AI talent retention — saw shares down 1.8%. The tech sector as a whole has lost more than 2.5% over the last 5 sessions. The pressure on AI names comes at a moment when the broader market rally is starting to show signs of rotation beyond Big Tech. After months of concentration in a handful of growth giants, sectors like Healthcare (XLV) and Homebuilders (XHB), along with small- and mid-cap stocks, have taken on a larger role in driving this summer's move to record highs. On Tuesday, leadership was concentrated in more defensive corners of the market, with Real Estate (XLRE), Utilities (XLU), Materials (XLB), Consumer Staples (XLP), and Healthcare among the biggest gainers. But given Big Tech's outsized weighting in the index, if the group isn't leading, gains in the S&P 500 are unlikely to be as sharp or one-sided as they've been over the past two years — a dynamic on display in Tuesday's trading. The tech-heavy Nasdaq was also taking on the heaviest losses, falling nearly 1.5% in afternoon trade. Some strategists, however, see this shift as a healthier sign for markets. Citi strategist Scott Chronert framed the moment as 'two parallel paths' for the S&P 500 — one still led by AI-fueled growth giants and the other increasingly supported by more traditional, economically tied sectors. 'The simple answer is that we see ongoing Mega Cap Growth participation, if not leadership, but with fundamental and performance broadening creating a more durable structural setup,' Chronert wrote in a Friday note. 'The healthiest path to higher index levels is a combination of Growth/Tech leadership persisting but with other areas of the market additive more so than has been the case this past year.'

Bowman Focuses on Current Fed Role, Rules Overhaul
US Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman said she's keeping her focus on the regulatory portfolio she has now, including plans to overhaul big-bank capital rules and to stamp out so-called debanking. "I have a big agenda. We're moving through it quickly," the Fed's top bank watchdog said during an interview on Bloomberg Television. "Obviously we need to get the capital proposals completed in the near future." Bowman deflected when asked if she would be interested in leading the Fed as chair, rather than her current role of vice chair for supervision. Bowman is said to be under consideration for the top post by President Donald Trump. Bloomberg News International Economics & Policy Correspondent Mike McKee joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss Bowman's comments, and preview the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole conference.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Defends Boyfriend For Asking Inane Questions About Zelenskyy's Suit
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) came to the defense of her reporter boyfriend after he was criticized for asking meaningless questions during yesterday's press meeting with President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Brian Glenn, a reporter for Real America's Voice, went viral on Monday after complimenting Zelenskyy for wearing a suit, a callback to him questioning the Ukraine leader's style choices earlier this year. During Monday's exchange, Glenn complimented Zelenskyy's suit, only to be shaded when the former comedian-turned-president snarked back, 'You're in the same suit. You see, I changed mine.' Besides being mocked on social media, Glenn was criticized by other White House correspondents at the event. 'Many of the questions aren't designed to get answers, but to create another confrontation or make Trump look good,' one correspondent told CNN. Glenn retweeted a RawStory article about the CNN comments and claimed the shade was 'coming from a WH media that coddled Joe Biden and lied about President Trump,' and insisted 'I couldn't give a rats ass if they don't like me.' Glenn got some snarky responses to the post, but he did get support from at least one person: Greene herself. 'The White House press core under Joe Biden, never asked tough questions,' she said on her personal X account. 'During tyrannical Covid lockdowns and the highest inflation since the 1970s, the best they could muster up was what flavor ice cream he liked.' But if Greene expected to change the narrative towards her boyfriend, she was sadly mistaken. Related...
