The title of yesterday’s report was: will the Bank of England (BoE) cut? And the answer is yes, it is planning to cut its rates soon. This – expected and concretized dovish shift – was the major takeaway from the BoE’s latest MPC meeting that took place yesterday.
As a result, the FTSE 100 rallied to a fresh record yesterday and Cable sold off as a kneejerk reaction to the dovish shift in the BoE’s outlook, but rebounded strongly after the weekly jobless claims data from the US came in much stronger than expected.
Elsewhere, the S&P500 rallied yesterday and...

Stocks on this side of the Atlantic Ocean are better bid these days than their American peers thanks to a combination of too-lofty valuations in the US, good corporate earnings from European companies and the expectation of looser monetary policies in Europe and the UK sooner than in the US. Plus, the AI rally – that’s been boosting the major US indices - looks like it is losing momentum.
On the central bank front, the Riksbank opted for a 25bp cut yesterday, as expected, and said that there could be two more rate cuts this year, the European Central Bank...

Yesterday was one of those days where we needed to fit a narrative to the market moves as the moves weren’t triggered by meaningful data or comments. Appetite in US stocks remains supported by robust earnings and Fed optimism, but the earnings expectations look somehow inflated, while the Fed optimism is fragile and data-dependent – meaning that the market could be lacking enough confidence to send these indices to fresh record highs before we have more detail on the US inflation update that is due next week. Today, investors will be closely watching the $42 billion US 10-year bond auction...

The week started on a positive note for the global equities which continue to surf on the optimism that the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) next move won’t be a rate hike, which I think is overdone and that next week’s US inflation data could be a rude awakening.
In the Middle East, tensions remain. US crude remains bid near the 100-DMA – and near oversold market conditions – as Israel refused a ceasefire deal and is preparing for a big offensive in Rafah.
In central banks, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) left its policy rate unchanged today and warned that...

Friday’s US jobs data brightened up the mood among Federal Reserve (Fed) doves, as both the NFP, unemployment rate and wages pointed at a slowing labour market in April. Stocks and bonds gained, while the US dollar weakened.
This week, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is expected to sound hawkish, while the Bank of England (BoE) could give a clearer road map regarding its easing plans. The divergence among central banks make the FX markets full of opportunities for investors.
In equities, last week’s dovish Fed pricing and better-than-expected earnings from Apple and Amazon helped the S&P500 eke out...

Sentiment is not bad for a week which confirmed that the Federal Reserve (Fed) won’t cut the interest rates anytime soon. US futures are up in the wake of better-than-expected Apple results, and ahead of today’s much-important US jobs data. The jobs data will be more important this time than in the past due to increased uncertainty regarding the future of the Fed policy. The US economy is expected to have added around 240K new nonfarm jobs in April, the average pay is expected to have grown slightly slower on a yearly basis, and the unemployment is seen steady at...

The Federal Reserve (Fed) decision yesterday was… interesting. As expected, the Fed kept its rates unchanged, said that they are not confident to cut the interest rates but announced the upcoming QT tapering. The market reaction to the decision was mixed. Stocks and yields fell, the US dollar eased and US crude slipped below $80pb.
In equities, Amazon gained more than 2%, AMD fell more than 9% as Super Micro Computer tumbled 14% as earnings missed lofty expectations. Fears regarding a slowdown in chip demand pulled Nvidia and Micron Technology down. Happily, Qualcomm rebounded 4% in the afterhours trading on...

While the Bitcoin price is crashing, some analysts think that the next big Bitcoin demand could come out of China. But how true is that?

Mood among investors is not cheery into the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) latest monetary policy decision due later today. And it’s understandable. The Fed must respond to three straight month jump in inflation and probably take a step back in its plans to cut the interest rates this year.
If the first few months of the year ended in tears for the Fed doves, the AI-related stocks lived up to very high expectations in the Q1. All the Maginficent 7 stocks that reported earnings so far – except from Tesla – surpassed high market expectations. Amazon posted the best beat among...
