  • Amazon jumps post-earnings, focus on US’ Big Oil All and jobs data | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote
    Equity selloff in Europe and US extended on Thursday. Technology stocks suffered the biggest losses after Microsoft and Meta were hit by a 6% and a 4% decline respectively.
    The US futures are slightly in the positive this morning, as Amazon and Intel rallied in the afterhours trading after releasing better-than-expected Q3 results. Today, US’ Big Oil companies will go to the earnings confessional and will certainly post weak numbers due to weak oil and gas prices as did their European peers throughout this week. But, given that the expectations are quite low, beating them is easier.
    Speaking of oil, the latest news on the wire suggests that Iran is preparing a response to Israel’s latest attack. As such, US crude cleared the $70pb offers yesterday.
    Elsewhere, gilts and sterling gave a delayed reaction to Wednesday’s budget while the US dollar index eased and tested the 200-DMA to the downside despite the stronger-than-expected core PCE figures, the weakening dovish Fed expectations and the rising yields. The yen strengthened after relatively hawkish comments from the Bank of Japan (BoJ) yesterday and the EURUSD rallied past the 200-DMA with the sight of a stronger than expected CPI update.
    However, US jobs data and the dollar will ultimately determine whether EURUSD closes the week above or below this level.

  • Good news is bad news, and too much news is confusing. | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote
    European and US markets nosedived yesterday on the back of ‘good news is bad news’ and the futures hint at a bearish start to Thursday’s session. Growth on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean came in better than expected, but inflation in the Eurozone ticked higher than expected and gave a positive jolt to the euro. UK budget on the other hand went quite smoothly for the pound. The bad news were countered by the tamed Bank of England (BoE) easing expectations. The BoJ refrained from changing policy today.
    For now, the US dollar remains bid despite yesterday’s weakness, the 2-year yield spiked higher – as the Fed doves scaled back their Federal Reserve (Fed) cut bets. Investors continue to monitor the jobs data... and earnings!
    Microsoft and Meta released their Q3 earnings yesterday, after the bell, and the results were good but the forecast and extra spending plans didn’t please, respectively. Apple and Amazon are due to announce earnings after the bell today.

  • Alphabet beats, AMD disappoints. Eyes on US jobs, EZ CPI data! | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote
    Big Tech investors weren’t disappointed on Tuesday, as Alphabet announced better than expected results after the bell, but news at AMD were not enchanting, they gave a lacklustre revenue forecast for the current quarter, a message that raised worries about potentially slowing AI sales. Today, it’s Microsoft and Meta’s turn to reveal how well they did last quarter. The earnings announcements will continue with Apple and Amazon on Thursday – and Exxon and Chevron on Friday.
    But the latter may be less enthusiastic than the tech peers. BP yesterday announced the slowest profit growth in nearly four years due to weak oil prices.
    Speaking of oil prices, the barrel of US crude remained under a selling pressure yesterday, and is slightly better bid this morning on the back of a small decline in US oil inventories (API) but trend and momentum indicators remain tilted to the downside and strong resistance is eyed near the $70pb psychological level.
    On the data front, the first glimpse at the US jobs numbers were soothing for the Federal Reserve (Fed) doves. Today, all eyes are on the US ADP report, Australian and Eurozone inflation numbers and the UK’s budget announcement!

  • S&P500 near record ahead of Mag7 earnings, jobs data | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote
    Equity markets across Europe and the US began the week on a positive footage, except for oil stocks. Energy companies were hit by a 5% dive in oil prices due to Israel’s targeted attack on Iranian military facilities. Oil giants like Exxon, Chevron, BP, Shell and TotalEnergies are expected to announce a combined 12% decline from the Q2 when they release their earnings throughout this week.
    In the FX, the US dollar consolidates near summer highs. The EURUSD regained the 1.08 handle but without much conviction from the euro bulls, Cable is offered near the 100-DMA, while the yen is slightly better bid this morning and the USDJPY is back below the 153, but the political jitters, there, probably call for an extended Bank of Japan (BoJ) support to the economy. The BoJ will announce its latest verdict on Thursday.
    But before that, investors’ attention will shift to the US jobs data starting from today with the JOLTS data due today, ADP tomorrow, weekly jobless claims on Thursday and the official NFP, wages and unemployment rate due Friday. On the earnings front, Alphabet is the first Magnificent 7 company to go to the earnings confessional this week. Together, the US Big Tech companies are expected to announce around 18% growth in profit and – hopefully for Nvidia – massive increase to their AI spending. Nvidia will not be reporting its results for another month, but AMD results are also due today.

  • Oil falls on geopolitical relief ahead of big week of data & earnings | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote
    Crude oil kicked off the week with a more than 4% slump after Israel attacked the Iranian military facilities over the weekend. Not helping: the Chinese industrial profits fell 3.5% from January to September versus a meagre 0.5% printed a month earlier.
    In Japan, the market mood is not mixed. The country’s long-ruling coalition lost its majority at the weekend election, rising the political and economic uncertainty in the country and making the Bank of Japan’s (BoJ) rate normalization path blurrier.
    In Europe, energy and mining-heavy FTSE futures are slightly in the negative at the time of writing, but the US counterparts are in the positive after having posted a mixed week during which the S&P500 eased 1%. But the selloff mostly hit the value names – because their earnings were less enchanting that the Big Tech’s.
    This week, 5 of the Magnificent 7 companies and Big Oil are due to report their earnings. The US will post the latest jobs figures, GDP update and the core PCE index, the Eurozone will publish growth and inflation updates as well, while the UK will reveal the October Budget.

  • EURUSD under the pressure of weak fundamentals, rising dovish voices | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote
    Major stock indices across Europe and US were up on Thursday, after a few good-looking earnings across both continents including Hermes, Barclays, Unilever and Renault in Europe and Tesla and UPS in the US, gave a smile to investors after three cloudy sessions.
    Overall, the earnings season is going well in the US, less well in Europe. The latter also matches the macroeconomic news where data is strong in the US, and much less in Europe. The EURUSD remains under pressure of economic demise and rising dovish voices at the European Central Bank (ECB) that fuel the thinking that the ECB could, and should consider lowering rates by bigger chunks.
    In Japan, the yen is better bid but the USDJPY consolidates gains above the 150 level and the risks remain tilted to the upside into the election weekend, which could see the country’s ruling party lose its majority in the lower parliament for the first time since 2009. The latter would be bad for both the yen and the Japanese stocks.
    Finally in energy, US crude failed an attempt to clear the 50-DMA. Oil bulls may not be in peak form lately, risks tend to lean to the upside heading into weekends due to the potential for an escalation in the Middle East conflict.

  • Diverging fortunes. | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote
    The first three sessions of the week haven’t been appetizing as the US political uncertainties, the ongoing geopolitical jitters in the Middle East, and the mounting expectation that Federal Reserve (Fed) would slow down the pace of monetary easing pushed investors to the sidelines.
    Gold ran from record to record despite the rising US yields, and the broad-based USD appreciation. The EURUSD sold off to 1.0761 as the rate cut bets in the Eurozone remain strong on the back of inflation that seems under control and weak economic and corporate data. The USDJPY cleared the 150 resistance, pulled out the 200-DMA and is trading past the 152 as Cable slipped below the 100-DMA and remains under a selling pressure as the Bank of England (BoE) Governor Bailey says that inflation in Britain is weakening faster than they anticipated. And the Loonie hit the lowest levels against the US dollar since the beginning of August after the Bank of Canada (BoC) delivered a 50bp cut yesterday, as expected.
    There will certainly be a correction and a consolidation to the US dollar rally, but unlikely before the US election.
    In equities, the European stocks remain under the pressure of weak earnings which is not true on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, where Tesla joined the crowd of US companies that announced better-than-expected quarterly results!

  • ECB cut boosts appetite in Stoxx, Netflix jumps 5% on 5 mio new subscribers | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote
    The European Central Bank (ECB) lowered its interest rates by 25bp yesterday, in a widely expected and priced in move. Chief Christine Lagarde sounded optimistic about the disinflationary process. The expectation now is that the ECB will cut its rates at every policy meeting until March. Next stop: December.
    As such, the Stoxx 600 gained and the euro sold off after the ECB decision. The EURUSD hit 1.0811 but the pair’s weakness was partly due to strong-looking economic data from the US. Corporate data is also on the bulls’ side. The stronger-than-expected TSM and Netflix earnings defy the waning need for unnecessary Fed cuts.
    Elsewhere, the latest data from China printed a slower-than-expected growth in the latest quarter, but industrial production and retail sales jumped more than expected in September. The CSI is set to close the week on an improved note and US crude should see support near $70pb level.
