Nvidia generated a record $30bn in sales in Q2 – up by 122%, the profits surged 166% to $16.6bn, the company said that they expect to sell $32.5bn in the current quarter (more than $31.9bn expected by analysts) and announced a $50bn share buyback program. It could hardly do better. But investors focused on Blackwell delay & rising competition.
Elsewhere, Super Micro Computer dived another 20% yesterday after announcing that they will delay filing its annual financial disclosures – a day after Hindenburg threw mud on the company saying that they had ‘glaring accounting red flags, evidence of undisclosed related...

The markets were calm yesterday, the European stocks extended gains, while the S&P500 and Nasdaq consolidated a bit lower than their ATH levels. A $69bn sale of US 2-year debt went well, the US 2-year yield extended losses and the US dollar rebounded from the lowest levels of the year. Crude oil, which rallied to its 200-DMA on mounting tensions in Middle East and Libya, failed to break offers at this level and fell nearly 2% as most traders brought the global growth concerns and the sluggish Chinese recovery back on the table. The barrel of US crude eased to...

The week started on mixed feelings. The rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and between the West and China, and a pullback across the big technology stocks casted shadow on the optimism that the Federal Reserve (Fed) is about to start cutting the interest rates in September.
The US yields and the dollar rebounded on Monday. Crude oil jumped on the tense geopolitical environment in the Middle East and on rising tensions within Libya.
In China, the market selloff continues; the CSI 300 index trades at the lowest levels since February. Canada announced that it will impose tariffs of...

‘The time has come for policy to adjust, and the direction of the travel is clear’ said Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell at his Jackson Hole speech on Friday and kept the door open for large cut bets. US yields and the dollar softened, equities rallied. All eyes are on the US GDP update and the core PCE data, before next week’s all-important jobs report.
Elsewhere, the Eurozone countries will reveal their flash August inflation numbers and any softness in European inflation figures could revive the European Central Bank (ECB) doves and balance out the dovish Fed expectations.
In...

US stock markets sold off yesterday, as investors trimmed their long positions walking into Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech due later today – where he is expected to douse the jumbo rate cut expectations. US yields and the dollar rebounded, equities fell. There is more room for correction as the swap markets still price in 95bp cut from the Fed, and this pricing looks overstretched.
We are all holding our breath into Powell’s speech. What has been a calm week could see a last minute volatility. Powell will probably not show up with a game-changing speech...

Is the Solana ETF gone for good or just removed from the CBOE website?

The combination of dovish Fed minutes and the big downside revision to the annual payrolls number (-818K jobs!!) sent the US yields lower and the dollar lower yesterday. Gold consolidated near the $2500 per ounce as the risk on environment directed capital toward the stocks rather than the safe haven gold, while crude oil extended losses to the lowest levels since August despite a 4.6-mio barrel decline in US oil inventories last week.
What’s interesting is, about three weeks ago, when the US had released weak jobs data, the US dollar had fallen on the rising recession odds for the...

There was no major news on the wire to trigger the minor selloff in global equities, so it was nothing else than a correction after a long rally following an ugly meltdown.
The US dollar index took another dive, however, and hit the lowest levels since the beginning of January. The EURUSD spiked past the 1.11 level, Cable jumped past the 1.30 psychological mark. Even a dovish statement from the Riksbank and soft inflation numbers from Canada couldn’t prevent the US dollar from extending gains against the Swedish krona and the Canadian dollar. As such the Us dollar is oversold....

The week kicked off on a positive note on expectation that when Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell speaks at the Jackson Hole meeting on Friday, he will deliver a strong hint that the rate cuts will begin soon in the US. Both the Big Tech and small companies in the US gained with the thought of an approaching rate cut in the US. Even the energy stocks had a good session despite a heavy selloff in crude oil, which was triggered by the news that Israel accepted a ceasefire proposal in Gaza if Gaza says yes.
In individual stock...
