UPDATE: GameStop stock has advanced 3% to $35.02 one hour into Monday's session to start the week. If GME can hang on, this would be the fourth session in a row that the stock advanced. GME shares intially sank after the 4-for-1 stock split on July 22. About 4,100 call contracts expiring August 5 for the $35 strike price have traded on Monday morning. This is a healthy level for a contract that expires in five sessions. The contract last traded for $1.28.

NYSE: GME extended its recent win streak to three straight days as the stock finally begins to see a rebound from its post-split selloff. On Friday, shares of GME added 0.50% and closed the trading week at $34.01. Stocks extended their rally following the Fed rate hike on Wednesday, and all three major indices also posted gains for the third straight day. Overall, US markets saw their best month of trading since 2020. To close the week, the Dow Jones added a further 315 basis points, the S&P 500 gained 1.42%, and the NASDAQ led the way with a 1.88% rise during the session.

GameStop’s stock split was supposed to be a rallying call for retail investors. It made the stock price more palatable for smaller traders, and GameStop was likely hoping to capitalize on the headlines. Unfortunately, a stock split in a bear market is not the bullish catalyst that it is in a bull market. The stock sold off following the 4 for 1 split, which barely moved the needle for GameStop. While it has erased some of those losses during this week’s rally, the GameStop split came and went without much fanfare.

Gamestop stock price

In NFT news, crypto exchange KuCoin has revealed that it is offering its users the ability to invest in NFT ETFs. It allows investors to own fractional shares of blue-chip NFTs, some of which are worth millions of dollars. Would GameStop offer something like this in the future given its recent NFT Marketplace launch? With NFT prices still remaining high, fractional ownership could be the wave of the future.

EUR/USD extends rally pass 1.1450 on Fed's Warsh

EUR/USD trades at fresh weekly highs above 1.1450, following the Federal Reserve monetary policy decision to keep interest rates on hold.

Gold faces rejection near $4,100 amid emergence of USD dip-buying

Gold struggles to build on a modest intraday uptick beyond $4,100 during the Asian session on Thursday as the US Dollar attracts some dip-buyers following the previous day's post-FOMC slide to a one-week low. Escalating US-Iran tensions support oil prices, fueling inflation fears and bolstering bets for at least one Fed rate hike in 2026. This, in turn, underpins the Greenback and acts as a headwind for the non-yielding bullion.

Bitcoin trails US Dollar as Fed holds rate steady

Minutes from the meeting showed that economic activity has been expanding at a solid pace despite elevated uncertainty. The central bank also noted that job gains have "kept pace with the workforce."

No soft target: Warsh vows to return inflation to 2%

The Fed left interest rates unchanged at 3.50%-3.75%, but the decision carried a distinctly hawkish edge as three officials voted for an immediate 25-basis-point increase. Chair Kevin Warsh reinforced that message, insisting there was no tolerance for a softer inflation target and warning that the Fed would not hesitate to act.

US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?

The US Dollar enters the second half of 2026 in a markedly different position from a year ago. The King currency has recovered, reflecting persistent US inflation, changing expectations for Fed policy, geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for defensive assets.
