US Close: Stocks punished on rate fears, Fed speak, Dollar higher, Gold finds support, Crypto lower

February 19, 2023 by Ed Moya

Wall Street appears to be closing out the week on a down note as investors become rattled over the prospect of more tightening by the Fed. It isn’t just Fed expectations that are rising, traders are also expecting the ECB to send rates much higher. It looks like global growth will definitely take a harder hit as monetary policy gets even more restrictive over the next few months. More from the Fed Fed’s Bowman reiterated inflation is still too high and that they need to continue hikes until we see more progress. She did note the Fed is seeing a lot of inconsistent data in economic conditions. It doesn’t look there is a chance that the Fed will be holding anytime soon, which should keep sending yields … [Read More...]

Back to winning ways

May 29, 2022 by Craig Erlam

How sustainable is it? Another positive session in equity markets as bargain hunters are tempted back in to cap off the first winning week in eight in the US. It’s been a rough ride and despite this week’s performance, there could still be more pain to come. But at these levels, it’s only natural that the vultures are circling. There isn’t a huge amount to be excited about on inflation, interest rates and the economy but that doesn’t mean there isn’t value out there. The US inflation, income and spending data today was a mixed bag. Income fell short of expectations while households maintained strong spending thanks to excess pandemic savings. That can be sustained for some time but whether it … [Read More...]

Week Ahead – Market Recovery Under Threat?

June 14, 2020 by Craig Erlam

The New Normal Another crazy week comes and goes and thing that has really stuck with me is how normal the extraordinary suddenly seems. On Thursday, the Dow fell almost 7% and, sure, it was newsworthy but it wasn’t shocking. This is the 22nd biggest ever drop in the index – going back more than 100 years – and yet this year it doesn’t even make the top three. This could be a sign of the fragility that remains in the markets but then, the NASDAQ hit new record highs in each of the prior four days and breached 10,000 for the first time ever. This comes before the end of what could be the worst quarter in a century for the economy. Incredible. Speculation around new … [Read More...]

NFP Update: The Recovery already started, Stocks and Treasuries soar, Oil’s NFP bounce hits a wall, Gold tanks on robust labor report

June 7, 2020 by Ed Moya

US stocks continue to rock and roll after a better than expected nonfarm payroll report suggest the economic recovery already began in May.  It is not often you get the headline number and all the components help paint a positive picture of the economy.  Payrolls unexpectedly showed 2.5 million jobs were created in May. The unemployment rate declined to 13.3% and came in much lower than consensus estimate of 19.0%.     Average hourly earnings fell, which is most likely a reflection lower paying jobs came back.  The average weekly hours rose strongly to 34.7 hours. This nonfarm payroll report was supposed to provide a baseline on how bad things got and not that the recovery was already taking hold in May.  Now financial markets can move forward and it will … [Read More...]

Mid-Market Update: Fauci optimism and more stimulus lift stocks off lows, China nightmare sinks oil and drives gold higher

May 24, 2020 by Ed Moya

Treasuries climbed as stocks traded mixed as investors evaluated the latest news on China’s biggest political event, vaccine optimism from Dr Fauci, gradual lifting of coronavirus lockdowns and rising expectations for more stimulus to come to the world’s largest economy. Global equities are lower after China’s released a new bill that will tighten its control on Hong Kong, another log being thrown into the fire that is tensions between the world’s two largest economies.  The recent rebound in equities had signs of exhaustion before this latest turmoil in Asia. Risk aversion however is not getting a free pass, as the voice of reason throughout this pandemic, Dr Fauci remains optimistic with vaccine hopes.  Dr. Fauci noted that he looked at the Moderna data himself and that it … [Read More...]

May 17, 2020 by Andrew Moran
