BP p.l.c.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) shares are trading lower today. The British oil giant and Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC) reportedly met with Cypriot Energy Ministry officials on Friday to discuss potential investments in Cyprus&#8217;s emerging natural gas sector.
Recent major gas discoveries and developments in Egypt and Israel have attracted top companies, especially after disruptions in Russian gas flows due to its invasion of Ukraine, reported Reuters.
The report cited a source who said, &#8220;The meeting with the Ministry explored on potential cooperation in the Cyprus EEZ,&#8221; referring to a sea zone where Cyprus has commercial rights.
In May, BP reportedly planned to transfer assets into a new joint venture with the ADNOC to focus on developing gas resources in the East Mediterranean.
Last week, BP entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Iraqi Government to discuss a major <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/40125108" rel="noreferrer noopener">redevelopment initiative for the&nbsp;Kirkuk&nbsp;region</a>.
Also, earlier this year, BP and ADNOC suspended talks in their joint bid to buy a 50% stake for $2 billion<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/03/37658256/geopolitical-unrest-halts-bp-adnocs-2b-bid-for-israeli-gas-firm" rel="noreferrer noopener"> in Israeli gas company&nbsp;</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/03/37658256/geopolitical-unrest-halts-bp-adnocs-2b-bid-for-israeli-gas-firm" rel="noreferrer noopener">NewMed Energy</a>.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Direxion Hydrogen ETF&nbsp;(ARCA:&nbsp;HJEN)&nbsp;and&nbsp;First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund IV FT Energy Income Partners Strategy ETF (ARCA:&nbsp;EIPX).

With financial jitters spreading, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/01/36456206/rich-dad-poor-dads-robert-kiyosaki-says-hes-1-2-billion-in-debt-because-if-i-go-bust-the-bank-goes-b">Robert Kiyosaki's recent comments</a> have struck a chord with many. On Aug. 2, he bluntly posted on X, "As many have warned … the stock market crash has arrived. Losses are substantial." He added, "Rich dad taught his son and me that when markets are crashing is the time the rich get richer …. buying assets at bargain basement prices."

</ul>
Two days later, on Aug. 4, he doubled down, offering a brash piece of advice: "Crashes are times when the brave get richer and the cowards get poorer … because they sell or do nothing." He put it in Kiyosaki's true style: &#8220;The world is filled with poor cowards." His perspective is clear – panic selling during a downturn is a mistake. It's the perfect time to swoop in and buy.
Kiyosaki is a firm believer in investing in "crash-proof" assets. Real estate and precious metals top his list as safer bets when the market is in turmoil. But he doesn't think you should run from stocks altogether. His main advice? Stay cool, don't let fear drive your decisions, and be on the lookout for deals. In his eyes, a market crash isn't a disaster – it's a clearance sale. He's urging people to see beyond the chaos and consider the long-term wealth-building potential of buying low.

While people may find him to be a bit extreme or overly negative, some may prefer to be a little cautious regarding the market. No one can predict with total accuracy what will happen next. When investing, there's always a risk. However, only you can decide what level of risk you're comfortable with.&nbsp;

Kiyosaki's advice stands out because it challenges the typical fear-driven response to market downturns. Instead of retreating, he suggests leaning in and taking advantage of the situation. His confident, no-nonsense style and his focus on strategic buying during crashes make his message compelling to those looking to navigate these uncertain times with a level head.
Although Kiyosaki is hardly known for his optimism, his take on the market is a little rosier than some experts. For example, "Bond King" Bill Gross recently posted on X, "Investors should stop talking about buying the dip and start asking about selling recoveries."

Qualcomm Unusual Options Activity

<h4>Key Takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Imax China reported its profit fell 9% to $12.65 million in the first half of this year</li>
<li>Some observers expect a potential new privatization bid for the Chinese cinema company by its Canadian parent, after a previous bid failed</li>
</ul>
By Lau Chi Hang
It once wowed investors with a story of riches from the potent combination of its big-screen technology and a booming Chinese box office with potential to become the world&rsquo;s largest. But these days&nbsp;Imax China Holding Inc.&nbsp;(1970.HK) looks far less promising, as its technology that once looked so hot has failed to catch on and growth at China&rsquo;s box office also slows.
The China unit of Canada&rsquo;s&nbsp;Imax Corp.&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/imax#NYSE">IMAX</a>) has also been far from a crowd pleaser among investors, with its shares now trading 72% below what they fetched when the company made a Hong Kong IPO in 2015.&nbsp;
The disappointment continued this year, as Imax China&nbsp;<a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2024/0725/2024072501559.pdf">reported&nbsp;</a>its revenue fell 3.2% in the first half of 2024 to $43.9 million, while its profit also sagged nearly 9% to $12.65 million. The company&rsquo;s gross margin also fell 6.1 percentage points to 57.2% from 63.3% a year earlier.
Imax is known for its film production and projection systems with higher resolution, sharpness, greater contrast and more complete color than traditional movie technology. Imax China gets its revenue from two sources, namely, &ldquo;content solutions&rdquo; that convert movies and other content into the Imax format; and other technology products and services that include rentals, sales and maintenance for Imax systems used by third-party cinema operators.
Content solutions is the smaller of that pair, taking a beating as its revenue tumbled 34% in the first half to $9.35 million. It blamed the decline on weak Imax movie ticket sales, which fell to $108 million during the six months from $165 million a year earlier. Its technology products and services fare better, with revenue up 10% to $34.1 million year-on-year.
<h3>Unsuitable Films</h3>
One of Imax&rsquo;s strongest selling points is the high-resolution and 3D qualities it brings to films. But the format isn&rsquo;t necessary for all movies, and is generally best suited to genres like science fiction, fantasy or movies with very visually distinct scenes. Other genres, such as art-house, romance, comedy or daily life-themed movies, benefit little from the format.
Accordingly, years with more visually attractive films tend to bring a strong box office for Imax China. Last year was a case in point with the release in China of a series of sci-fi, fantasy and other visually notable blockbusters, including &ldquo;Avatar: The Way of Water,&rdquo; &ldquo;Oppenheimer,&rdquo; and &ldquo;The Wandering Earth 2.&rdquo; Audiences often preferred to watch such films in Imax theaters and willingly paid a premium for the more expensive tickets, generating a revenue bonanza for the company. But this year so far has failed to produce a similar string of suitable big hits for Imax&rsquo;s big-screen format, pressuring the company&rsquo;s ticket sales.&nbsp;
<h3>Waning&nbsp;Box Office Boom</h3>
Another factor hitting the company is the fading of a movie-going boom after China lifted its strict pandemic restrictions at the start of last year. People flocked to theaters at first in their eagerness to get out and about again, fueling a surge in ticket sales.&nbsp;
But that boom has subsided lately as China&rsquo;s slowing economy causes consumers to rein in their spending. China&rsquo;s box office took in 1.53 billion yuan ($214 million) during this year&rsquo;s five-day Labor Day holiday at the beginning of May, similar to the previous year. If the remaining two months of the summer holidays are similar to July&rsquo;s box office of 7.5 billion yuan, the summer box office is likely to total less than 20 billion yuan this year, also flat from last year&rsquo;s 20.6 billion yuan.&nbsp;
Such a slowdown doesn&rsquo;t bode well for Imax China&rsquo;s prospects, at least not in the near-term. When it went public in 2015, investors were mesmerized with a Chinese box office that grew 30.7% in the period from 2010 to 2014. At that time, a growing preference for premium viewing experiences by China&rsquo;s growing middle class also convinced investors that demand for Imax movies would continue to grow.&nbsp;。
But the fast growth slammed to a halt during the pandemic, and has failed to return since then, with demand for Imax movies falling far short of expectation. While things picked up after the end of pandemic restrictions last year, the new normal characterized by an economic slowdown and consumer caution is hurting demand for more premium products like Imax films.
<h3>Privatization Story</h3>
Imax China&rsquo;s stock fell nearly 7% after the interim results were announced, and the stock is now down 86% from the HK$60 it reached not long after its listing.
Last July, its Canadian parent attempted to take the company private and offered to purchase the shares for HK$10 apiece, representing a 40% premium to the price before the offer. But the Canadian fund Letko rejected the offer as too low, and also opposed the privatization as the Chinese box office seemed to be coming back to life. Its opposition and a subsequent shareholder revolt ultimately caused the privatization bid to fail.
To get its way, Imax threatened that its China offspring might stop paying dividends if minority shareholders didn&rsquo;t approve the privatization. That left a bad taste in the mouth of many investors, surprised at how far the company was willing to go to complete the delisting.&nbsp;
The privatization bid&rsquo;s collapse sent Imax China&rsquo;s stock into a tailspin, though it has started to recover since May. That&rsquo;s fueling speculation that some investors may be returning to the stock in anticipation of a new privatization bid with a similar premium to the first one.&nbsp;
Imax China&rsquo;s price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio currently stands at 13 times, which looks relatively strong considering that many rivals like&nbsp;AMC&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amc#NYSE">AMC</a>) and&nbsp;Orange Sky Golden Harvest Entertainment&nbsp;(1132.HK) are still losing money. But it could have room to grow further if a new privatization offer may be coming. That said, the stock really doesn&rsquo;t seem to offer much for investors right now purely based on the company&rsquo;s fundamentals, given the slowdown in China&rsquo;s movie market and growing consumer caution that may dampen demand for its pricier Imax movie tickets.&nbsp;

As Chinese Cinema Spotlight Fades, Investors See Value In Imax China As Privatization Play

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said the next president should unite America by treating opposing views, complaints and critiques as opportunities to find common ground.
In an Aug. 2 opinion piece in The Washington Post, Dimon said the next president should restore the public's faith in America and called on the next leader to unite the nation and acknowledge problems so they can be fixed.

</ul>
"We should not sleepwalk into disaster – we will prevail, but we need an active, comprehensive effort," Dimon wrote. "This is precisely the time when strong American leadership is needed to unite us and strengthen the indispensable role our country plays for the safety of the world."
Dimon, who did not endorse Republican nominee Donald Trump or presumptive Democratic nominee Vice President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/07/40009713/how-a-heated-phone-call-between-kamala-harris-and-jpmorgans-jamie-dimon-may-have-impacted-housing-re">Kamala Harris</a>, told investors in May that he likely will step down from his role at JPMorgan in less than five years. Still, it could be less, depending on the board's decision.

Harris reportedly had lunch with Dimon in March.

"A president should put the most talented people, including those from business and the opposite party, into their Cabinet," Dimon wrote.

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
Among his policy recommendations, Dimon highlighted the critical role of energy in foreign policy. He said delaying long-term liquid natural gas projects in Louisiana and Texas is "misguided and self-defeating" when U.S. allies defending their sovereignty and democracies urgently need secure and reliable energy sources.
As for domestic policy, he said the mortgage system can be reformed to make homeownership more affordable for lower-income Americans.
He said the next president should work to earn the support of all voters by not insulting, stereotyping, or attacking them.
"America has all the advantages, and we can win the future with smart policy, courageous leaders and everyone with a seat at the table moving in concert," Dimon said. "We need to elect a president who is dedicated to the ideals that define and unite us and who is committed to restoring our faith in America and our indispensable role in the world."

JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon Says 'We Should Not Sleepwalk Into Disaster' – Says Next President Should Unite America

Business sentiment in the U.S. services sector returned to expansion in July, after plummeting in June at the fastest pace since May 2020 and potentially quelling recent market concerns on an ongoing recession for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40160872/goldman-sachs-raises-us-recession-odds-treasury-yields-tumble-yen-rallies-as-trader">the world&#8217;s largest economy.</a>
The ISM Services Purchasing Managers&#8217; Index (PMI) barometer rose from 48.8% to 51.4%, outpacing expectations of a surge to 51%.
A similar services-related survey, released by S&amp;P Global, confirmed expansionary conditions for the U.S. private sector activity, although at a slower-than-expected pace. The S&amp;P Global Composite PMI edged down from 54.8 to 54.3, missing an increase to 55. The S&amp;P Global Services PMI eased from 55.3 to 55, falling short of a rise to 56. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">July ISM Services PMI Report: Key Highlights</h3>
<ul>
<li>The ISM Services PMI rose from 48.8% to 51.4% in July, above market expectations of 51% as monitored by TradingEconomics.</li>
<li>The subindex for Business Activity rose from 49.6% to 54.5% in July.</li>
<li>The subindex for New Orders rose from 47.3% to 52.4% in July, overcoming consensus estimates of 49.8%. </li>
<li>The subindex for Prices rose from 56.3% to 57, above the predicted 55.8%. </li>
<li>The subindex for Employment rose from 47.1% to 51.1%, well above the expected 46.5%.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Economists React</h3>
"The increase in the composite index in July is a result of an average increase of 5 percentage points for the Business Activity, New Orders, and Employment indexes, offset by the 4.6-point drop in the Supplier Deliveries Index."&nbsp;Steve Miller, chair of the ISM Services Business Survey Committee, said.
Miller noted that businesses maintained a cautious approach ahead of the upcoming presidential election, with one respondent expressing worry about possible tariff increases.
Respondents also indicated that increased costs are impacting their businesses, with generally positive commentary on business activity being flat or expanding gradually.
&#8220;Another strong expansion of business activity in the service sector, which over the past two months has enjoyed its best growth spell for over two years, contrasts with the deteriorating picture seen in the manufacturing sector, where output came close to stalling in July,&#8221; commented Chris Williamson, chief business economist at S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h3>
Global financial markets experienced a significant broad-based selloff on Monday, driven by widespread investor fears regarding U.S. economic growth following last week&#8217;s disappointing data.
The release of the ISM Services PMI has temporarily halted risk aversion and sparked an attempt to reverse the recent market movements.
The U.S. dollar index (DXY) rose minutes after the release, although the broader dollar gauge, tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), remained in the red by 0.5%.
U.S. major equity indices gained amid diminishing recession fears, with the S&amp;P 500, tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), trimming session losses to 2.3%.
Other major asset movements following the ISM Services PMI print included: 
<ul>
<li>The Nasdaq 100, as monitored through the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), rallied by 500 points to 17,950 levels, shrinking the daily drop to negative 2.4%.</li>
<li>The Japanese yen, as tracked by the Invesco CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FXY#NYSE">FXY</a>), slightly reversed gains vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar. </li>
<li>Long-dated Treasuries, as followed by the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>), trimmed gains. </li>
<li>Gold, as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), extended losses to -2%.</li>

Good Morning Traders! In today&#39;s Market Clubhouse Morning Memo, we will discuss SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, META, and TSLA.
Our proprietary formula, exclusive to Market Clubhouse, dictates these price levels. This dynamic equation takes into account price, volume, and options flow. These levels are updated every day and shared with all Clubhouse Members, prior to the opening of the market.
We recommend closely monitoring these stocks, and be prepared to leverage potential breakouts or reversals. As always, stay alert and ready to adjust your tactics based on the market&#39;s pulse to optimize your trading gains. Now, let&#39;s dive into the stock analysis:
<h3>SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust</h3>
SPY&nbsp;(ARCA: SPY) is currently trading around 517.39. For bullish traders, a move higher to 518.04 is the first target. If buyers maintain control above this level, we can expect an advance to 518.76. Sustained bullish momentum above 518.76 may push the price up to 519.71, with the ultimate high bull target set at 520.67 for the day.
Should 517.39 fail to hold as support, bearish traders will aim for a test of 516.58. Increased selling pressure could drive the price down to 515.68. If this level is breached, 514.62 will act as a significant support level. In the event of a strong bearish session, the low bear target for SPY stands at 513.76.
<h3>Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1</h3>
QQQ (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qqq#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) is currently positioned around 428.50. Bulls will want to see the price move above 429.40. Holding this level as support could pave the way for a climb to 430.16. Continued bullish activity might bring 431.18 into play, with a further push potentially reaching 431.82. The high bull target for QQQ today is 432.84.
If the price struggles to stay above 428.50, bears will likely test 427.32. Increased selling could drive the price down to 426.64. Should bearish momentum persist, 425.77 will be the next key level. If this level fails to hold, the low bear target for the day is set at 424.82.
<h3>Apple Inc.</h3>

Final Word: Today&#39;s trading session is poised to be highly impactful, beginning with the release of the Final S&amp;P Global Services PMI for July at 9:45 AM ET. This data will provide insights into the health of the services sector, a key component of the economy. Following this, at 10:00 AM ET, the ISM Services Index, along with Prices Paid, Employment, and New Orders for July, will be released. These indicators will give a comprehensive view of business conditions in the services industry, which can significantly influence market sentiment.
Additionally, we will hear from non-voting Fed member Goolsbee at 8:30 AM ET. His comments could offer hints about the Federal Reserve&#39;s outlook on inflation and economic growth, providing further guidance to market participants. With increasing concerns about a potential US recession, traders should approach the markets with heightened caution today.
Another critical factor to watch is the unwinding of the Yen carry trade, which has been causing significant volatility in the currency markets. This unwinding could have broader implications for global financial markets, as investors reallocate capital, impacting equity and bond markets worldwide.
The combination of these critical data releases, potential insights from the Fed, and the yen carry trade dynamics makes today&#39;s session particularly volatile. It&#39;s essential for traders to stay vigilant, manage their risks carefully, and be ready to react swiftly to any market-moving information. The interplay between these economic indicators and market expectations will create a dynamic trading environment. Good luck, and keep your head on a swivel.
