Yesterday allowed global risk investors to take a deeper breath. Dovish comments from Federal Reserve (Fed) members, and de-escalation of trade tensions between the US and China allowed a further recovery in global equities. Optimism was backed today by the Chinese announcement that it is considering easing tariffs on some US imports, further signalling de-escalation of trade tensions and supporting earlier comments from the Trump administration that triple-digit tariffs could come ‘substantially’ down.
On the individual front, Google - that announced its latest results yesterday after the bell - showed better-than-expected revenue growth for both its advertising and cloud segments,...

Hectic and unpredictable, the Trump show continues. Sentiment is fragile, pressure on equities and the USD remains tight, crude oil’s positive momentum is hit by lower IMF growth forecasts and nothing is less certain for company earnings: the earnings season is shadowed by tariff uncertainty as well. Gold remains the ultimate hedge to trade shenanigans while the European assets and the euro attract inflows.

Valuing a company doesn’t have to be rocket science. While complex models like DCF and enterprise value exist, most investors turn to one powerful tool: the Price-to-Earnings (PE) ratio. In this episode, we break down what the PE ratio really tells you, why it matters, and how it can help spot growth vs. value stocks — with real examples like Tesla, Nvidia, and Nestlé.
You’ll learn how PE ratios can uncover hidden potential or warn you of overhyped bubbles, depending on market conditions, rates, and investor expectations!

A few pieces of good news helped calm investors’ nerves before the Easter break. First, Donald Trump said yesterday that the US and Japan made ‘big progress’ in trade negotiations. He also said that there could be a deal with the EU, even though I’m reading that the EU is preparing export restrictions toward the US, provided that the first round of talks didn’t result in anything other than frustration for the Europeans. The Chinese are open to talk if Trump and team respect them, so that’s not an easy win. But overall, things haven’t gotten worse over the past...

Similar to FTX and Luna another Altcoin went bust, but what are the implications on the markets?

Yesterday was yet another ugly day of trading, especially for the US and the technology companies. The Federal Reserve (Fed) President warned that the tariffs were significantly higher than they thought, that they could soften employment and boost inflation, that inflation could stick around longer than they thought, that they don’t know how long the impacts will flow through the economy and how they will impact the long-term inflation expectations. He added that they can’t achieve long-term strong growth and employment if they don’t achieve price stability first. In simple words, Powell said inflation is their priority and that the...

The US trade negotiations between the US and the EU aren’t going well, China doesn’t even want to talk. Both US and China now deploy measures other than tariffs to fight each other as Nvidia and Boeing are left in the crossfire. China announced that they will not buy Boeing and Trump administration decided to restrict the export of Nvidia’s H20 chips to China. ASML reported weaker than expected orders in the Q1 due to tariff uncertainty and TSM is expected to announce around 56% profit growth in Q1 thanks to a 42% increase in sales but forecasts will probably...

Markets kicked off the week on a positive note on relief regarding the consumer electronics tariffs – that will not be exempt but will be part of a different ‘tariff bucket’ (20% instead of 145% for those made in China). Then, there was some relief for auto and part makers, as well. As such, the European stocks rallied 2.70% on partial rollback of the tariffs, the US stocks kicked off the week higher but euphoria weakened into the session end on news that the US Commerce Department launched a probe into chips and pharmaceutical imports on national security reasons.

The new week starts on relief that the US will exempt electronics – most of which are made in China – from headline tariffs. Futures are hinting at strong gains across the US and European indices. Hon Hai – a major Apple supplier jump opened in Asia, but is giving back gains since then as Donald Trump said Sunday that the tech sector won’t be exempt from tariffs, they will be in a different tariff bucket. Prepare for another week of hectic headlines, uncertainty and high volatility – and thinning holiday volumes into the Easter break won’t help in terms...
