Nasdaq 100 adds 0.86% as MSFT, NVDA rise; AAPL tumbles 7.35% on earnings

The Nasdaq 100 eked out a 0.86% weekly gain, trailing the S&P 500’s 1.07%, as a 7.35% post-earnings plunge in Apple outweighed rallies in Microsoft and Nvidia. Tokenized QQQ volume jumped 288% in July, signaling growing institutional appetite for on-chain index exposure. Next week’s focus will be whether the tech earnings divergence persists and if tokenized product flows sustain momentum.
