Good afternoon and welcome to Markets Desk.

Robinhood turned heads this earnings season, posting record quarterly revenue of one point three one billion dollars, well ahead of analyst expectations. The firm's prediction market business is surging, its Gold subscription base is expanding, and earnings per share came in at sixty-two cents against a consensus of forty-two — a meaningful beat across the board.

Shifting to energy, uranium is drawing fresh attention from nuclear agencies forecasting a structural demand surge of as much as one hundred forty percent by twenty fifty. The driver is straightforward — decarbonization targets are pushing governments and utilities back toward nuclear baseload power, and the fuel cycle begins with uranium, meaning miners and enrichers stand in the direct path of that demand wave.

In soft commodities, cocoa is under modest pressure, consolidating just above three-and-a-half-week lows after StoneX trimmed its estimate of the twenty twenty-six to twenty twenty-seven global surplus. New York futures slipped nearly one percent while London held relatively steady — a split that suggests the market is still weighing supply revisions carefully rather than committing to a directional move.

That's the tape. Markets Desk, signing off the floor.
