All four strategies represent first-to-market exposures on emerging growth and blue-chip stocks NEW YORK, March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tradr ETFs, a provider of ETFs designed for sophisticated investors and professional traders, announced that it expects to launch four first-to-market single stock leveraged ETFs on Tuesday, March 24. The Cboe-listed funds seek to deliver either two times the inverse (-200%) or two times long (200%) the daily performance of a specific underlying stock. Expected Tradr launches: Tradr 2X Short AMZN Daily ETF (Cboe: AMZO) – tracks Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) Tradr 2X Long AAOI Daily ETF (Cboe: AAOX) – tracks Applied Optoelectronics Inc.

About Tradr ETFs Tradr ETFs are designed for sophisticated investors and professional traders who are looking to express high conviction investment views. The strategies include leveraged and inverse ETFs that seek short or long exposure to actively traded stocks and ETFs. IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATION Tradr ETFs are for sophisticated investors and professional traders with high conviction views and are very different from most other ETFs. The Funds are intended to be used as short-term trading vehicles and pursue leveraged investment objectives, which means they are riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Funds magnify the performance of their underlying security. The volatility of the underlying security may affect a Fund's return as much as, or more than, the return of the underlying security. Investors in the fund should: (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage; (b) understand the consequences of seeking inverse and leveraged investment results; (c)...

France’s local elections, closely watched for clues to next year’s crunch presidential vote, have given parties of the centre a welcome and unexpected lift as the far right and radical left fell some way short of their ambitions. The 35,000 municipal ballots often focus on local survival and their outcomes do not always reflect national voting patterns, but they do show trends in popularity and suggest what kind of alliances can be struck in a fragmented political landscape. The far-right National Rally (RN), either of whose likely candidates in the 2027 race – Jordan Bardella or Marine Le Pen – is seen as clear favourite to succeed Emmanuel Macron, multiplied its number of councillors by 13 in Sunday’s second-round vote. The party held onto Perpignan and captured other smaller southern towns including Carcassonne, Menton and Cannes. It also claimed victory in France’s resolutely conservative fifth city, Nice, through its ally, the breakaway rightwinger Éric Ciotti. But the RN failed to seize its most coveted target – the country’s second-largest city, Marseille – or several others that it had high hopes of winning, including Toulon and Nîmes, puncturing a growing air of invincibility. In Paris, the Socialist party’s Emmanuel Grégoire, running on a united left platform that included the Greens, defeated the rightwing former minister Rachida Dati and the radical left La France Insoumise (LFI) to become the capital’s mayor. 1:03 Socialist Emmanuel Grégoire arrives on bicycle after being elected mayor of Paris – video The results suggest that when the mainstream parties cooperate and organise effectively, they can still combine in a “Republican front” to block the RN, particularly in France’s larger cities where the nationalist party’s brand still repels many voters. Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s LFI, shunned by much of the mainstream left over allegations of extremism, antisemitism and violence, also had a mixed night, scoring a couple of symbolic wins but failing to make big ...

The Gunners have a nine-point lead in the Premier League. But recent run-ins, and their loss to City on Sunday, will keep them wary Sign up for Soccer with Jonathan Wilson here Some day, probably quite soon, Arsenal will win something again. Quite probably something much bigger than the Carabao Cup. But until then, there is only going to be anxiety, and it is going to get worse after Sunday’s second-half freeze against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final, which City won 2-0. Wembley could have seen the start of the Arsenal era, perhaps even the first leg of an unprecedented Quadruple; instead it was City celebrating , and with a gusto that suggested the past couple of years of dearth have served as a useful reminder that these occasions can never be taken for granted. Claims that victory in this final could be a huge psychological blow in the title race are perhaps a little fanciful. One game is one game. Professional athletes, robust self-belief integral to their existence, recover from defeats. But still, that flatness in the second half , the way Arsenal were pinned back and unable to break forward, has to be a concern. City were able to use the way Arsenal like to control the pace of the game against them, the short passes out from the goalkeeper used as a way of penning them in as they closed down passing lanes, allowing their defenders to have the ball and denying them options. What was that? A tactical triumph for Pep Guardiola? Exhaustion from Arsenal? Or the familiar mental fragility returning? Continue reading...
March 23 (Reuters) - Alphabet-owned Wing plans to begin delivering packages by drone to homes in California's San Francisco Bay Area in the coming months, it said on Monday, extending its rollout to one of its earliest testing grounds.

March 23 (Reuters) - Alphabet-owned Wing plans to begin delivering packages by drone to homes in California's San Francisco Bay Area in the coming months, it said on Monday, extending its rollout to one of its earliest testing grounds. Wing is seeking to scale what it says is a solution to the hurdles facing last-mile delivery of small household items and meals by using lightweight, automated drones designed to fly directly to homes in dense residential areas. The expansion marks a return to the roots for the company, which was founded in the Bay Area in 2012 as part of Alphabet's X. X is Alphabet’s "Moonshot Factory," a research unit that takes on experimental projects such as self-driving firm Waymo, and helps spin them into independent companies. Wing provides drone delivery for Walmart groceries and household essentials in under 30 minutes in some U.S. states. With DoorDash, it offers rapid food delivery from restaurant chains such as Wendy’s and Panera. The company has completed more than 750,000 deliveries to date, and serves more than two million customers across parts of the U.S., it said. The Bay Area rollout comes as Wing pushes to build a logistics network focused on small and local deliveries, while working to broaden adoption beyond early pilot markets. The company also started a pilot program with Serve Robotics in October 2024, in which Serve's on-ground robots picked up food from restaurants and transferred it to Wing drones for aerial delivery.

The fund's equity portion outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index. The portfolio's fixed income holdings outperformed its fixed income benchmark, the ICE BofA High Yield U.S. Corporates, Cash Pay Index. Market review Equity markets continued to move higher in the fourth quarter, despite some volatility. This move was driven by several factors, including strong third quarter 2025 corporate earnings reports and two Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cuts. Stocks with above-average revenue and profit growth in the information technology (IT) and industrials sectors benefited from the artificial intelligence (AI) and data center build-out. Additionally, health care outperformed due in part to favorable regulatory outcomes and increasing merger and acquisition activity in the pharmaceuticals sector. During the quarter, the very large-capitalization stock returns were generally positive though somewhat mixed with several mega-capitalization stocks down in the quarter. Comparatively, small- and mid-capitalization companies also generated modest positive returns in the quarter a...

Key Points Palantir stock costs a lot, is growing quickly -- and down 23%. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives thinks government spending can save Palantir stock from further declines. 10 stocks we like better than Palantir Technologies › Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) stock jumped 5% through 9:45 a.m. ET Monday after Wedbush analyst Dan Ives reiterated that he still has an outperform rating on the government IT contractor, and still believes the stock will hit $230 within a year. From its current stock price, that would work out to a 45% profit. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Palantir logo. Image source: Getty Images. Why Wedbush loves Palantir Palantir provides IT services, focusing on artificial intelligence, to a host of government agencies, including the Department of Defense, the National Institutes of Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as international defense ministries, healthcare systems, and law enforcement organizations. Ives's optimism about Palantir boils down to a general view of the company's ability to win even more contracts "across the federal government." More than just growing its business in tandem with government budget growth, though, Ives argues that Palantir is attaching itself specifically to the government's highest-priority projects so it can enjoy accelerated growth in the best-funded programs. Is Palantir growing fast enough? The stock has slumped amid growing investor concerns about the health of the AI industry. Its stock price is down more than 23% since hitting an all-time high in early November -- yet Palantir shares are still up 56% over the past 52 weeks. Ives is betting Palantir can shake off these worries and climb past its recent high. I'm not so sure about that. Advertisement While its powerful growth is not in ...

Just before US markets opened on Monday, President Donald Trump backed down from his threat to destroy Iran’s power infrastructure if it didn’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours — pushed by the surge in energy prices and global market rout unleashed by the US-Israeli war on Tehran and hopes that fresh talks could yield a deal to end the conflict. The president’s decision was aimed in part at calming markets, according to people familiar with the matter, and immediately spurred a sharp fall in Brent crude and a rebound in the S&P 500 and US Treasuries. It came as US allies privately warned Trump that his war was quickly becoming a disaster, while Gulf countries urged him not to destroy Iranian infrastructure that will be crucial to keeping it from becoming a failed state after the conflict ends, according to people familiar with the matter. “Trump needed some way to climb down from a threat that would surely have started a new round of escalation, this time crossing a new threshold by targeting civilian energy infrastructure, which would likely constitute a war crime,” said Dana Stroul, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Middle East. “It is surely no coincidence that the announcement of a five-day pause and talks came right before markets opened in the United States on Monday morning.” Read More: Oil Plunges as Trump Backs Away From Iran Energy Strike Threat Trump, speaking to reporters on Monday, said representatives from Iran reached out to start the talks because they were eager to make a deal. In conversations between an unnamed Iranian official, his son-in-law Jared Kushner and adviser Steve Witkoff on Sunday, Tehran agreed to turn over nuclear material in the country and not resume their nuclear program, he added, saying the negotiations were expected to continue by phone on Monday. Iran has denied any such talks. “We’ll see how that goes, and if it goes well, we’re going to end up with settling this,” Trump said. “Otherwise, we’ll j...

Investors in Vanguard Index Funds Mid-Cap Value Index VIPER Shs (Symbol: VNQ) saw new options begin trading today, for the December 18th expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 270 days until expiration the newly trading contracts represent a possible opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration. At Stock Options Channel , our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the VNQ options chain for the new December 18th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest. The put contract at the $86.00 strike price has a current bid of $2.00. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $86.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $84.00 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of VNQ, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $90.06/share today. Because the $86.00 strike represents an approximate 5% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 65%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 2.33% return on the cash commitment, or 3.14% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost. Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Vanguard Index Funds Mid-Cap Value Index VIPER Shs, and highlighting in green where the $86.00 strike is loca...
