The Bank Rout could worsen with strong US jobs data | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote

‧ 11m 7s

Thursday could’ve been a calm trading session. Especially given that after a deluge of strong economic figures concerning inflation and jobs, the little uptick in the US weekly jobless claims to above 200’000 for the first time since January – and which sent the US short-term yields tumbling - could’ve given some piece of mind to investors and lead to a minor correction in equities before today’s all-important US jobs figures.
But, no.
A severe rout in banking stocks spoiled what could’ve been a calm session on Thursday. Silicon Valley Bank’s 60% plunge due to difficulties following sharp rise in...

Powell says ‘no decision’ but data tells another story! | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote

‧ 11m 47s

Bulls in European equities didn’t’ really get washed out by the Federal Reserve (Fed) hawks; the DAX index closed higher at the wake of Powell’s first day of testimony before the Senate – which went badly hawkish on the other side of the Atlantic.
Yet, the selloff slowed yesterday as Powell said that the data will determine whether the Fed would increase the pace of the interest rate hikes, BUT that ‘no decision has been made on this’ yet.
The US 2-year yield extended its advance above the 5% mark, the 10-year yield hovered around the 4% level. But, the...

A double shot of hawkishness from Powell hits appetite! | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote

‧ 10m 2s

Investors got a double shot of hawkishness from Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s semi-annual testimony before the US Senate yesterday.
Powell’s comments sent the rate hike expectations significantly up and wreaked havoc across the US treasury and equity markets and the US dollar.
Moving forward, the next few data points will be VERY important in cementing the expectation of a 50bp hike at the March 21-22 FOMC meeting.
Today, the ADP report and job openings data. JOLTS data would better soften this month, after last month’s booming figure of 11 mio.
On Friday, February jobs report will be released....

Fed’s Powell will sound hawkish, but will investors listen? | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote

‧ 10m 38s

Disenchanting growth target from China was expected to keep the oil bears in charge of the market, but the 100-DMA got surprisingly cleared to the upside yesterday.
Stocks closed flat and the dollar softened. The Aussie fell after the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) announced 25bp hike and the EURUSD flirted with the 1.07 mark.
Today, all eyes and all ears are on Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell and what he thinks about the latest set of economic data.
Since the latest FOMC meeting, we saw a blowout NFP number, an uptick in inflation figures, lower-than-expected decline in the...

China’s 5% growth target is another blow to energy bulls | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote

‧ 11m 27s

There are plenty of reasons that should push equities lower, but equities continue trending higher.
Both European and American stocks closed last week with gains, and futures hint at a positive start to the week despite China’s announcement of a modest 5% growth target.
But the 5% growth target raises concerns about the amount of stimulus that the Chinese will put on the table, and the possible continuation of the government crackdown.
China’s modest 5% growth target weigh on energy and commodity prices. Iron ore and copper futures are down, and US crude’s 100-DMA resistance, around the $80pb level, will...

Equity investors defy gravity, but rally is not sustainable! | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote

‧ 11m 12s

The Eurozone’s flash CPI estimate looked as ugly as it smelled beforehand. Inflation in the Eurozone is estimated to have barely eased to 8.5% from 8.6% printed a month earlier, while core inflation advanced to a record of 5.6%, from 5.3% printed previously.
The latest CPI update confirmed the European Central Bank (ECB) hawks’ aggressive positioning for further rate hikes and pushed the European yields further up yesterday, but despite higher yields across the board, the Stoxx 600 closed Thursday’s session 0.50% higher.
Across the Atlantic Ocean, fresh jobs data came to fan the inflation worries yesterday in the US....

Higher yields weigh on equities on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote

‧ 12m 4s

Hotter-than-expected inflation data pushes the European yields higher. The higher yields support recovery in the euro, but not the European stock valuations.
Across the Atlantic Ocean, the news is not great, either. The ISM manufacturing index revealed a slower contraction in February, but the improvement compared to the last month was less than expected.
A slowing economic growth is not bad news for the Federal Reserve (Fed), but the mounting price pressure is. This is what the ISM report revealed yesterday, and further fueled Fed hawks.
Activity on Fed funds futures now gives more than 30% chance for a 50bp...

Hot Eurozone inflation is a growing threat for European stocks! | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote

‧ 12m 32s

Inflation in Europe took the wrong direction in February. The data released yesterday printed a record inflation of 7.2% in France and ticked higher to 6.1% in Spain. Both were higher than expected, of course, and cranked up the hawkish European Central Bank (ECB) rate expectations.
In the US, cooling US house prices for a seventh straight month, and ugly Richmond manufacturing index cooled the hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed pressures yesterday, but the S&P500 couldn’t hold on to its gains above the 50-DMA, and closed yesterday’s session below this level. As a result, the month of February ended with a...
