  • Who cares? | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote
    The French government just collapsed, but the euro gains. The Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell said that the US economy is in a remarkably good shape, but the US dollar retreats, and OPEC is preparing to delay its production restoration plans today, but oil bears remain in charge.
    Away from these problems, the S&P500 just printed its 56th record high this year and Nasdaq 100 jumped to a fresh ATH. Amazon advanced to a fresh record as news that Amazon is building a supercomputer powered by hundreds of thousands of its own Trainium chips to train Anthropic AI models wet investors’ appetite. The move could help Amazon cut reliance on pricey Nvidia chips and do the same for its Big Tech buddies. The rumour has it, Apple is on board as a customer. Do Nvidia investors worry about it? Not for now. The shares jumped 3.5% yesterday to past $145 per share. But it’s worth keeping an eye on this space because the Big Tech stood for half – yes half – of Nvidia’s revenue last quarter and their ambition to build their own chips is one of the major risks to Nvidia’s revenue growth.

  • Crude rallies, tempting long-term bears with potential opportunities | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote
    South Korea briefly stole the light from the French political chaos after President Yoon suddenly imposed the martial law yesterday only to lift it a few hours later. The Korean won and the stocks fell, and the volatility in broader Asian markets and cryptocurrencies was higher, but the impact remained limited, the US and European futures are set for a positive open and France could safely come back to the front of the scene with lawmakers preparing to hold a no-confidence vote today and to take Barnier’s government down.
    In the US, sentiment remains cheerful and cozy at the start of December. The latest figures released yesterday showed that the job openings in October rose more than expected by analysts. Optimism rose too, though less than expected. Federal Reserve’s (Fed) Mary Daly said that there is no certainty that the Fed will cut the rates this month, but that, the option remains on the table.
    In energy, US crude rallied more than 2.5% to above $70pb on news that the US will impose more restrictions on the Iranian oil exports and on chatter that OPEC is getting closer to delaying its plans to restore production by another 3 months.

  • French government risks are underpriced. | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote
    French political chaos sat on the headlines at the start of the week. The spread between the 10-year French and German yields jumped to 87bp – the highest since the euro debt crisis of a decade ago, and could well spike above the 100bp mark if the French political crisis is not contained. The widening French-German yield spread hammered the single currency on Monday. The EURUSD sharply dropped to 1.0460. Meanwhile, Stellantis CEO quit yesterday on tumbling sales and profit causing the shares to drop more than 6%, and around 66’000 VW workers abandoned their posts on failure to agree how to slash costs to avoid factory closures. Selloff in VW shares remained curiously limited.
    A completely different atmosphere in the US: The S&P500 printed this year’s 54th record high on Monday, as record Black Friday sales came as another proof that Americans continue to spend. source of revenue and give Intel a competitive advantage within the ‘America First’ narrative
    In the FX, the USD index rose ahead of US jobs data, crude oil tested the $70pb resistance ahead of the OPEC’s Dec5th decision.

  • Bad news weigh on the euro. | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote
    December doesn’t arrive with chocolate and flowers to Europe. First, Stellantis CEO resigns on weaker sales and tumbling profits. Second, VW workers are expected to walk out as early as today, because their labour leaders couldn’t reach an agreement on how to reduce costs to prevent factory closures. And finally, the French political scene remains messy with the far-right party Marine Le Pen threatening to team up with the leftist and take down Michel Barnier’s government by Wednesday if he doesn’t come up with a less strict budget plan. The euro is under pressure this morning.
    In Japan, the news are not brighter. Nissan’s CFO decided to step down as well and the Japanese manufacturing PMI fell to the lowest level since March. The news gives the USDJPY a good reason to rebound back above the 150 level this morning.
    The downside pressure on euro and the yen is giving a boost to the US dollar early this week. The US dollar index is up and above the 106 this morning after retracing a part of its recent gains last week.
    Attention will be on US jobs data and OPEC decision this week!

  • USDJPY tips a toe below 150 on rising bets of December BoJ hike | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote
    With US markets paused for the Thanksgiving break, France was at the heart of the attention yesterday. The political drama, there, only got worst as Michel Barnier gave concessions to Marine Le Pen – who only asked more of them. The French 10-year yield eased after sitting at the same height than the Greek equivalent while CAC 40 was in a better mood. But the political uncertainties in France will certainly keep volatility high across French-denominated assets into the year end.
    For the euro, we don’t yet see a major impact of French political shenanigans, but the French touch is not necessarily a positive one. The EURUSD swung between gains and losses yesterday, caught between mixed inflation data from EZ countries.
    Speaking of inflation, higher-than-expected Tokyo inflation backed the growing expectation that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) would hike rates in the December meeting and shortly pushed the USDJPY below the 150 mark.
    In energy, there is hesitation about what to do at the current levels. The latest news suggests that OPEC+ will delay its decision time from Sunday to December 5th. It appears that the cartel members need more time to discuss about what to do about their plans to restore production.

  • Le drame | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote
    Appetite on Wednesday was limited on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In the US, the crowded economic data brought no surprises. The Federal Reserve (Fed) December cut expectations strengthened, the US yields and the dollar retreated while appetite in major US indices remained limited.
    In Europe, the Stoxx 600 extended losses, and not only because of Trump’s tariff threats, but also on the rising unease in French politics, where Marine Le Pen, the far-right leader - who gained ground in the latest elections, remember? – threatened Michel Barnier’s administration – that’s doing its best to control the country’s deteriorating finances and deficit – that she would bring his government down with a no-confidence vote if he doesn’t respect their budget demands.
    Thank God, the growing French headache remains localized, for now. The EURUSD rebounded well past the 1.05 level – and even advanced near 1.0590 yesterday, following the other majors up against a broadly weakened US dollar. The worsening political scene in France and the widening yield gap between France and Germany, could however limit the single currency’s upside potential along with clashing opinions from the European Central Bank (ECB) members about how fast the bank should cut rates.

  • Prospects of slower RBNZ cuts boost NZD appetite at year-low levels | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote
    Even though Donald Trump’s tariff threats on China, Mexico and Canada didn’t concern Europe, the feeling in Europe was far from being comfortable yesterday. The word tariff gives cold chills especially to the European carmakers that already found themselves in crossfire with China. As such, Stellantis lost more than 5% yesterday while Volkswagen tanked another 2.76%.
    In the US, the market mood was better. Trump’s tariff threat, the rising inflation expectations as a result of them, and the cautious approach for further rate cuts from the latest Federal Reserve (Fed) minutes were outweighed by ceasefire news from the Middle East.
    Crude oil consolidated and extended losses below the $70pb level on ceasefire news, while news that OPEC+ is considering delaying the oil production restart beyond January has certainly tamed the selling pressure.
    In the FX, the US dollar eased yesterday as investors priced out a part of the geopolitical risks, while appetite in gold remained intact. The kiwi rallied against the greenback today following a widely expected 50bp cut from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ). But the RBNZ predicted that the average cash rate falling to 3.83% by the middle of next year, suggesting that the policymakers, there, will move to a more gradual rate-cutting path moving forward. The latter could open the door for dipbuying opportunities for a greatly weakened kiwi over the past year.
