18 tech stocks fell over 30% in July 2026 despite strong year-to-date gains

Eighteen technology stocks dropped at least 30% during July 2026, marking a sharp correction in the sector. Despite the monthly slump, seven of the worst performers for the month were still up by triple digits for the year 2026. The data highlights the volatility within the tech sector even amid an overall strong year for many of these companies.

Is July 2026's tech sell-off a signal that the bull run is ending?

Gulf states race to build pipelines bypassing the Strait of Hormuz

Gulf Arab states are accelerating the construction of pipelines and infrastructure that bypass the Strait of Hormuz, which is increasingly threatened by Iranian missiles and drones. XTB analyst Kamil Szczepański notes that petrodollar-rich Gulf nations can complete in a few years infrastructure projects that would take decades elsewhere. Western engineers and Indian labourers are set to head into the desert to build the new routes. The push is a direct response to growing military risks from Iran.

Will pipelines bypassing Hormuz effectively secure Gulf oil supplies?

France vs England: the World Cup third-place match neither side wanted

After losing their respective semi-finals, France and England will meet in the World Cup third-place play-off – a match both sides would rather skip. Players who dreamed of the final and a gold medal must now take the field with nothing more than a bronze medal at stake. The game is widely seen as a consolation fixture, yet national pride means neither team can simply go through the motions.

Should the World Cup third-place play-off be abolished?

Reddit gamer creates physical Steam game cartridges using external SSDs

A Reddit user has built a DIY physical "cartridge" system for Steam games: each game is stored on a separate external SSD, and plugging it into a docking station triggers a script that launches the correct title in Steam. The setup is elegantly simple and saves space on the main drive. It does not, however, grant true game ownership independent of Steam — GOG's offline installation option remains the better alternative for that.

Should digital platforms like Steam guarantee full game ownership to players?

Israel's 'Crimson Thread' barrier cuts off Palestinian villages from their land

Israel has erected a new military barrier called the "Crimson Thread" in the Jordan Valley of the West Bank, cutting Palestinian communities off from their agricultural land. The structure is part of a broader Israeli strategy to control movement across the West Bank. Affected Palestinian villages say the barrier severely disrupts daily life and access to farmland.

Is Israel's military barrier in the West Bank justified on security grounds?

Kawasaki Ninja H2 2027 set to lose horsepower per homologation documents

Homologation documents suggest the 2027 Kawasaki Ninja H2 will produce less power than the current model. The news has upset the motorcycle community online, though the bike will still rank among the most powerful production superbikes available. In reality, most riders never come close to exploiting the machine's full potential outside of a racetrack straight.

Is losing a few horsepower in the Ninja H2 a serious issue for riders?

Free dietitian visits available on Poland's NFZ — who qualifies?

Poland's National Health Fund (NFZ) covers dietitian consultations in certain medical situations, though few people are aware of this benefit. A GP referral is typically required, and the patient usually needs to meet specific health criteria such as obesity or metabolic disease. This option offers free professional nutritional support to those who qualify.

Should the NFZ cover dietitian visits for everyone without a referral?

Gotland water shortage: tourists urged to wash in the Baltic Sea instead of showering

Authorities on the Swedish island of Gotland are urging residents and tourists to drastically reduce their water consumption amid a deepening shortage. They are encouraging people to wash in the Baltic Sea instead of showering, saying one "sea wash" saves up to 90 litres of water. Gotland is a popular summer destination and has been struggling with water shortages regularly during summer seasons.

Polish inflation hits NBP target, fuel prices spike, S&P 500 grows more tech-dependent

Polish inflation has hit the National Bank of Poland's target exactly, reassuring economists and investors that price pressure is under control. At the same time, fuel prices have surged at petrol stations and the S&P 500 index is increasingly concentrated in technology stocks. Signals of an economic slowdown abroad raise questions about the durability of the current bull market.

Should the NBP cut interest rates now that inflation has hit its target?

He argues that the unprecedented concentration of capital driven by AI will trigger significant social and political pressure.
