Tech leads rally on more AI deals ahead of Fed decision

Tech leads rally on more AI deals ahead of Fed decision

13m 25s

Who needs data when Jensen Huang is out dropping billion-dollar deals? From Nokia to Palantir, Uber and even the U.S. Department of Energy, Nvidia’s latest partnerships are lighting up markets and sending Nokia shares to their highest level in 15 years. With $500 billion in chip orders reportedly booked and new collaborations with Samsung and Hyundai on the way, Huang insists there’s no bubble here. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit fresh records, Microsoft gained 2% on OpenAI news — and Big Tech earnings are next.
Meanwhile, uranium’s rally mirrors AI’s hunger for power, and traders are bracing for the...

Global markets are on fire! Major indices hit fresh all-time highs as optimism over new US trade deals sends risk appetite soaring. Trump’s talks with Japan’s new Prime Minister Takaichi sparked a breakthrough on critical minerals, while hopes of a US-China deal keep fueling the rally. The Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Bank of Canada (BoC) are expected to cut rates this week — and if the Fed sweetens the move by ending QT, equity bulls may have even more room to run. Sector-wise, tech and AI stocks continue to dominate: Qualcomm jumps double digits after unveiling new AI chips,...

Global markets kick off the week in high spirits as softer-than-expected US inflation revives Fed cut hopes and optimism builds around a possible US–China trade breakthrough. The S&P 500 hit a new record, earnings are coming in strong, and all eyes now turn to Big Tech. Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, Apple and Amazon are set to report — and their results could decide whether the rally keeps running. Meanwhile, Intel’s rebound story raises questions about politics versus profitability (https://www.cnbc.com/video/2025/10/24/ozkardeskaya-the-real-potential-lies-in-ai-not-just-improving-their-cpu-business.html), European and Japanese stocks break new records.

13m 51s

Markets are bracing for fresh US inflation numbers after weeks of shutdown-induced data drought. But that’s not all — Trump and Xi are set to meet next Thursday, a potential turning point after months of tariff volleys, chip war and political posturing. Will this meeting calm tensions or spark another round of market chaos? Meanwhile, investors pin their hopes on robust tech earnings and another Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cut, despite inflation stubbornly hovering around 3%. From SMIC’s surge to Nvidia’s warning and Beijing’s drive for tech independence, the stage is set for twists and turns across markets. Stocks are...

Geopolitical tensions, credit risks and earnings: a hectic mix

Geopolitical tensions, credit risks and earnings: a hectic mix

13m 14s

Trade tensions, earnings and another subprime auto lender collapse. From Tesla’s costly Trump-era duties to Netflix’s disappointment and new US sanctions on Russian oil giants, markets are wrestling with mixed signals. AI optimism still drives risk appetite, but under the surface, cracks are widening: weak jobs data, looming government shutdown and fading consumer credit strength. Will the Fed optimism and AI hype fight back the rest?

Gold drops: concern or healthy pause?

Gold drops: concern or healthy pause?

13m 5s

Gold and silver bulls took their profits and ran, triggering the sharpest pullback across precious metals in months. Gold dropped over 5% and silver nearly 7% before dip buyers returned, but questions remain: is this just a breather—or the start of something bigger? The selloff was fueled by easing US–China trade tensions, a rebound in the US dollar and overbought speculative positioning, but the broader story remains... the same!
Meanwhile, oil prices are staging a modest recovery, US yields slipped below 4% and investors are bracing for the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) much-anticipated rate cut next week by closing short positions....

Gold rises, but so does its volatility

Gold rises, but so does its volatility

13m 27s

Markets kicked off the week with a bang, Global indices rallied as investors brushed off trade war fears, shutdown risks and credit jitters. In the US, tech stocks led gains — even Amazon, despite its massive AWS outage, climbed higher. Apple hit fresh record highs on stronger-than-expected iPhone 17 sales, while in Europe, defense and chip stocks helped lift the Stoxx 600 near an all-time high. But amid the optimism, gold quietly flashed a warning: its price keeps rising… and so does its volatility. That’s not a combo you see every day. Could this be a sign of pressure building...

Markets are back with a bang this Monday on expectations that the trade tensions between the US and China will ease. Meanwhile, Chinese data show resilience on the surface but weakness underneath. In tech, TSMC and ASML shined last week as Alibaba kicks off the week with a 5% rally. And funnily, the Big Tech was not responsible for last week’s volatility… banks and credit worries were, but the latter seem to be easing as well this morning, phew!

How to read and trade the Fed expectations?

10m 30s

The Federal Reserve moves markets like no other institution. From mortgage rates to gold and Bitcoin, every asset feels the ripple of Fed decisions. But here’s the twist — it’s not just what the Fed does, it’s what markets expect it to do next that really drives prices. In this episode, we break down how traders track those expectations through the CME FedWatch Tool, how to read the Fed’s “dot plot,” and why forward guidance often moves markets more than actual rate changes.
