The Chinese markets opened for the first time after a long Lunar New Year holiday, and they opened down on a set of weaker-than-expected PMI figures, on the news of 10% tariff on its exports toward Trump’s USA, and a further escalation of the trade war with the tit-for-tat measures announced yesterday from Beijing.
Across the Pacific Ocean, Google hit a record high yesterday regardless of the Chinese threat. Magnificent 7 saw dip buying and rebounded near 1.80%. Palantir was the star of the day with a 24% rally in its share price after announcing lot better-than-expected quarterly results and...

The news of a month of delay for the tariffs targeting Mexico landed soon after the US opening bell and similar news about Canada came in later in the day. On the European front, nothing more than increased threats and mounting tensions among politicians, with Brexited Britain spotted as one bright spot in Europe. On the Chinese front, Xi and Trump are set to discuss the 10% tariffs this week, but Beijing has already announced retaliatory measures, including an antitrust probe into Google and a 15% tariff on U.S. coal and LNG imports.
The markets recovered from early losses but...

Risk sentiment is on the floor this morning after Donald Trump imposed 25% tariff on most Mexican and Canadian imports and 10% tariff on Chinese imports which will take effect from tomorrow – a move, I believe, will certainly backfire and end up in tears for everyone. But it will first add volatility and chaos to the financial markets.
The first market reaction on Monday’s open is a swift move to the US dollar. The Mexican peso gap-opened at the lowest levels since March 2022 and the USDCAD jump-opened and flirted with the 1.48 level, the euro fell and crude...

The European Central Bank (ECB) cut the interest rates yesterday for the fifth time and voiced concerns about euro area growth and tariff threats.Trump renewed his pledge to impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, sending the currencies of both countries lower against the US dollar.
Gold hit a fresh ATH yesterday, backed by a swift move to safety due to the Trump's tariff threats, the rising geopolitical tensions, the rising US government debt and the fear of a potential tech rout that could lead to a global risk selloff.
In the tech space, five days into the DeepSeek drama,...

Three of the Magnificent 7 companies – and ASML – released their Q4 earnings yesterday and the numbers were ... mixed but hinted at strong AI spending and increased competition with Meta aiming to bring its AI model to a bullion users this year.
In China, Alibaba stepped out of the darkness saying that it’s AI model is the greatest of the world and is performing better than Meta and DeepSeek. A giant like Alibaba should be taken as a bigger threat than DeepSeek as the company can back it up with real-world applications and wide adoption.
Zooming out, the...

The week started off weak, but what are cryptos chances when an AI correction hits the stock markets?

The AI selloff reversed yesterday, Nvidia jumped nearly 9%. ASML this morning announced a set of better-than-expected results that could also help improve sentiment. But the news flow will be intense in the next hours and things could change rapidly. On the menu du jour, the Federal Reserve (Fed) is expected to announce no change to its rates later today, the Bank of Canada (BoC) is expected to cut its rate by 25bp, the European Central Bank (ECB) will probably do the same when it meets tomorrow.
On the earnings front, Meta, Microsoft and Tesla are due to announce their...

Monday was marked by a trillion dollar selloff in US equities – especially the AI-related names – and a swift flow toward safer assets. Nvidia printed its biggest one-day loss as Nasdaq 100 tanked 3% and nuclear stocks joined the rout.
But the selloff may have been exaggerated as there are many unanswered questions regarding the DeepSeek’s AI model, its capacity to rival US tech peers for global dominance and for industry’s future trends.

Last week wrapped up with a striking contrast: bullish momentum through most of the week gave way to a bearish close on Friday. A set of stronger-than-expected PMI data prompted investors to recalibrate their Federal Reserve (Fed) outlook, weighing stronger economic growth and the likelihood of a more hawkish Fed response.
A such, the Stoxx 600 retreated after hitting a fresh record. The S&P500 and Nasdaq traded lower as well, and futures, especially Nasdaq futures, are looking pretty bad this morning with a more than 2% slide at the time of writing hammered by the news that the Chinese startup...
