European and American stocks kicked off the week with a pause; the Stoxx 600, the S&P500 and Nasdaq 100 all retreated from an ATH level on Monday. MAMAA stocks were down around 1%, Amazon – which had it first day at Dow Jones Industrial index fell 0.15% whereas Nvidia managed to eke out a small gain.
It feels like there is a moment of calm and silence in the aftermath of major tech earnings, investors will decide whether this rally deserves to continue higher straight away. The week brings some important economic data on the table. US GDP data is...

Even though we saw some consolidation on Friday following a significant rally during the week, last week ended on a great note for the major US, European and Japanese stocks. Chinese and British stocks are left behind the global rally.
It’s important to keep in mind that while everybody was watching Nvidia with their stomachs in their mouth - and the broad-based stock rally that followed its earnings, the US yields were gently drifting higher. This week, investors’ attention will gently shift from earnings to economic data. The latest US GDP update – due Wednesday - is expected to confirm...

We knew that yesterday was going to be a good day – at least for the stock markets, as enthusiasm around Nvidia spilled over global equity markets, with US, European and Japanese stocks hitting ATH.
The cheery mood in the global stock markets was completely decoupled with the gloomy mood in the sovereign space. The US 2 and 10-year yields rose yesterday because some more Federal Reserve (Fed) members warned about cutting the US rates too early and too much. Yesterday’s stronger-than-expected manufacturing and housing data came as further evidence that the US economy doesn’t necessarily need rate cuts in...

Nvidia hasn’t said anything yet, and the market is already making big swings – to give you an idea on the potential of a positive or a negative move when the results finally arrive. According to options positioning we could see a 10% move to the upside or to the downside. Mixed earnings and – God Forbid – an earnings miss has potential to send Nvidia’s stock price tumbling, while an earnings beat could fail to gather enough positive momentum – if the beat is not enough strong.
Zooming out, Nvidia’s 4% drop yesterday sent an early warning to the...

The Chinese returned from their Lunar New Year holiday having traveled and spent more this year than before the pandemic. The early trading hours were cheery, but enthusiasm left its place to doom and gloom quickly as the Chinese equities found it hard to extend gains. Equities in Europe however extended gains to a fresh ytd high, and the Stoxx 600 index continues to trade at a spitting distance from an ATH even though France lowered its growth forecast for 2024 to 1%. US will be back today with retailer earnings. Nvidia will go to the earnings confessional tomorrow after...

The week starts with the soothing news that the Chinese traveled and spent more than they did in the same period of 2019. As such, the Chinese stock markets return from the CNY break on a cheery note; the CSI 300 index in the positive, after the S&P500 and Nasdaq closed the session in the red after Friday’s hotter-than-expected inflation report.
The US and Canada are off today but the week will gather pace with big US retail and Nvidia earnings from Tuesday! Investors believe that the Nvidia earnings could act as a make-or-break moment for the technology rally, as...

The S&P500 rebounded past the 5000 yesterday. This time, a mixed set of manufacturing data and a drop in US retail sales – which fell the most in almost a year – were brought forward as soothing factors regarding the dovish Federal Reserve (Fed) expectations. The S&P500 rebounded past 5000, stocks in Europe and Japan trade near ATH levels despite slowing economies and recession chatter.
Investors will watch the US PPI update before the closing bell, but I wonder if it matters, anymore.
The US dollar index retreated to 100-DMA and sees support at this level. The EURUSD tested its...

The market has been very quick in swallowing and digesting this Tuesday’s less than ideal inflation data from the US. Yields and the USD retreated, stocks rebounded. Tech led the rally.
But the rate cut expectations are being scaled back in the US, and a further appreciation in the US dollar could also get the other central bank doves on their knees. This is certainly why the EURUSD has a limited potential at the current levels. Elsewhere, the USDJPY struggles to find sellers after the news that Japan entered recession in Q4 – and they still have negative rates. The...
