Surprise, surprise: Microsoft failed to meet investor expectations when it announced its Q2 results yesterday, while Google did better than expected. The S&P500 advanced to the highest levels since April 2022, while Nasdaq 100 was up by 0.73% yesterday. Meta is due to announce earnings today after the bell.
Zooming out, the IMF raised its outlook for the world economy this year and it now expects the global GDP to expand 3% in 2023. But it also warned that Germany will probably be the only G7 economy to suffer an economic contraction this year. US growth forecast was optimistic even...

Both Eurozone and UK PMI numbers hinted at faster-than-expected slowdown in economic activity. Both the euro and sterling retreated against the US dollar.
The Federal Reserve (Fed) starts its two-day policy meeting today, and will highly likely announce a 25bp hike on Wednesday. But what Fed officials will also do is to remind investors that the tightening cycle is probably not juts yet.
US stocks traded higher yesterday with the S&P500 adding 0.40% and Nasdaq 0.14% after its special rebalancing. The US 2-year yield advanced past 4.90% and fell this morning. While the VIX index shows no sign of a...

Last week ended on a caution note after the first earnings from Big Tech companies were not bad, but not good enough to further boost an already impressive rally so far this year. The S&P500 closed the week just 0.7% higher, Nasdaq slipped 0.6%, while Dow Jones recorded its 10th straight week of gains, the longest in six years, hinting that the tech rally could be rotating toward other and more cyclical parts of the economy as well.
This week, the earnings season continues in full swing. 150 S&P500 companies are due to announce their second quarter earnings throughout this...

Stocks and bonds in the US fell yesterday. Stocks fell, sent down by a nearly 10% plunge in Tesla and more than a 8% dive in Netflix. Chip stocks fell as well around the world as TSM cut its annual outlook for revenue due to geopolitical tensions and weak global demand, and announced that its Arizona production plant will be delayed due to shortage of qualified labour that could build the plant.
Bonds, on the other hand, fell as well yesterday, as unemployment claims unexpectedly fell in the US. That strengthened the Federal Reserve (Fed) hawks’ hand yesterday on the...

Nasdaq futures are down this morning, by about 0.50% at the time of writing, after Tesla and Netlfix fell post-earnings announcements. Goldman Sachs on the other hand was right warning investors that it was going to have a bad quarter, because it really had a BAD one.
Overall, the S&P500 and Nasdaq both extended gains yesterday but we could see some consolidation and downside correction today. The US 2-year yield remains steady around 4.70/4.80% range, as Federal Reserve (Fed) officials are in their quiet period before the next policy meeting and can’t insist that there will be more rate hikes...

The rally in US stocks extended on the back of good bank earnings and AI. Microsoft jumped up to 6% to a fresh all-time-high yesterday as progress on the regulatory front regarding the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, and the news that its Microsoft 365 Copilot, based on OpenAI’s artificial intelligence, will be broadly available and cost $30 per month per user got investors rushing back to the stock and extend the November-to-date rally to 72%! The S&P500 and Nasdaq 100 to fresh highs since the first months of 2022.
On the data front, the softer-than-expected retail sales and production data...

The judge has decided: XRP is not a security! But will this be enough to bring the bull market back?

Soft Chinese figures hit energy, metals and European luxury stocks yesterday, while wheat futures jumped as Russia called off the grain deal in Black Sea.
US stocks, however, extended rally and the US 2-year yield consolidated around 4.70% as investors started betting on when the Fed would cut the rates in the coming months.
Today, the Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and Lockheed Martin will be releasing their quarterly earnings. While BoFA and Morgan Stanley’s investment branches may have taken a hit, investors will be looking at how well these banks benefited from rising rates. Lockheed Martin on the other...

The Chinese economy grew slower-than-expected in Q2. The kneejerk reaction in markets was unenthusiastic. American crude extended retreat below the $75pb, after hitting and bouncing lower from the 200-DMA, that stands near $77pb last week. The rejection was expected, and the selloff could deepen toward the 100-DMA, near $73.50 level. Copper futures are also down this morning and testing the 100-DMA following a 7% rebound since the start of the month. Iron ore futures remain under pressure, and the Aussie is down nearly 1.30% against the US dollar, after forming a double top near the 69 cents level last week,...
