Symbotic stock rises on bullish macroeconomic indicators
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each rose to record new levels in Thursday's trading, and Symbotic stock surged in conjunction with the broader bullish momentum. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' jobs report showed that 147,000 non-farm jobs were added in June, which came in significantly better than 110,000 additions that had been forecasted. At the same time, there was nothing in the jobs report that raised inflationary fears or caused investors to worry that the Federal Reserve might be less likely to cut interest rates in the near future.
What's next for Symbotic?
With the company's last quarterly report, sales increased roughly 40% year over year to hit $550 million. While sales are expected to decline on a sequential quarterly basis to between $520 million and $540 million, the midpoint of that guidance range still suggests annual growth of roughly 12%.
Symbotic's sales growth trajectory might look somewhat uneven in the near term, but the company's long-term expansion outlook appears very promising. In addition to scoring continued wins through its partnership with Walmart, the company should also have the opportunity to substantially increase its business with other customers.

The July WASDE report was released this morning from the USDA. December corn made a high at 418 after the numbers came out, but faded the rest of the day, closing at 412 1/4. December corn has support at 409, 400, and 393; resistance is at 416 and 420. New Crop New crop ending stocks were 1.66 billion bushels (bb), less than the trade expectation at 1.722 bb.

The dollar is starting to inch higher again, but it is still nowhere close to where it was at the start of the year. The weaker dollar gives the U.S. a price advantage versus Brazil, which should continue to help exports.

'I set the deal': Trump's authoritarian style raises alarms about future of U.S. democracy
Article content Article content Administration officials also pulled $175 million from the University of Pennsylvania in March over a dispute around women's sports. They restored it when school officials agreed to update records set by transgender swimmer Lia Thomas and change their policies. Article content Columbia University bent to Trump by putting its Middle East studies department under new supervision, among other changes, after the administration pulled $400 million in federal funding. At the University of Virginia, President James Ryan resigned under pressure following a Justice Department investigation into diversity, equity and inclusion practices. A similar investigation was opened Thursday at George Mason University. Article content 'Federal funding is a privilege, not a right, for colleges and universities,' said Kush Desai, a White House spokesman. Such steps were unheard of before Trump took office. Ted Mitchell, president of the American Council on Education and an Education Department official under President Barack Obama, said Trump isn't seeking deals but is 'demanding more and more and more.' Article content Article content 'Institutional autonomy is an important part of what makes higher education work,' he said. 'It's what enables universities to pursue the truth without political considerations.' Article content The Fed has also faced Trump's wrath. He blames Fed Chair Jerome Powell for moving too slowly to cut interest rates, which could make consumer debt like mortgages and auto loans more affordable. It could also help the U.S. government finance the federal debt that's expected to climb from the tax cuts that Trump recently signed into law. Article content Powell has held off on cutting the central bank's benchmark rate, as Trump's tariffs could possibly worsen inflation and lower rates could intensify that problem. Desai said the White House believes the Fed should act based on what the data currently shows, which is that 'President Trump's policies have swiftly tamed inflation.' Article content Although Trump has said he won't try to fire Powell — a step that might be impossible under the law anyway — he's called on him to resign. In addition, Trump's allies have increased their scrutiny of Powell's management, particularly an expensive renovation of the central bank's headquarters. Article content David Wessel, a senior fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution, said Trump's approach could undermine the Fed's credibility by casting a political shadow over its decisions. Article content 'There will be real costs if markets and global investors think the Fed has been beaten into submission by Trump,' he said. Article content Trump originally wanted to enact sweeping tariffs in April. In his view, import taxes would fix the challenge of the U.S. buying too much from other countries and not selling enough overseas. Article content After a backlash in financial markets, Trump instituted a three-month negotiating period on tariffs. Peter Navarro, one of his advisers, said the goal was '90 deals in 90 days.' Article content The administration announced a few trade frameworks with the United Kingdom and Vietnam, but Trump ran out of patience. He's sent letters to two dozen nations and the European Union informing them of their tariff rates, such as 30 per cent against the EU and Mexico, potentially undercutting the work of his own negotiators.
