You can't make this up: Prediction markets now show a 36% chance of ZERO interest rate cuts in 2024. To put this in perspective, 4 months ago there was a ~3% chance of no rate cuts in 2024. The base case has gone from 6 rate cuts to 1 rate cut this year. There is just a 31% chance of 2 or more interest rate cuts this year. In other words, there is a higher chance of NO cuts than 2 OR MORE cuts. This could be the fastest shift in Fed expectations of all time. Truly incredible.

Why Market Optimism Faded Ended In Losses 04 April 2024
We have seen how the stock market was trading with optimism before 1.30pm (US time), yet the session ended with significant losses. NASDAQ lost 1.4%, Dow Jones was down more than 500 points. S&P 500 ended the session with negative 1.23%. Factors That Fuel The Downturn Yesterday There are many events happening yesterday and these factors mix has catalyse the downturn. Here are some of the significant factors hitting the market. Federal Reserve Comments - Minneapolis Fed president Kashkari’s remarks about potential rate unchanged if inflation progress does halt. This is one key factor that catalyse the market decline. Geopolitical Tensions - with gains in oil prices and defense stocks, a selloff was triggered after potential retaliation by Iran against Israel raise a concern. This increa
Long or Short? Personally I found out long is easier than short. The risk of short is way too big for me. The biggest lost if you long is 100% total lost, however, the lost can be 200 300 500 1000% during a short. Sound scary right? A general sharing, short selling is a trading strategy where investors speculate on a stock's decline. Short sellers bet on, and profit from a drop in a security's price. Traders use short selling as speculation, and investors or portfolio managers may use it as a hedge against the downside risk of a long position. Timing is crucial when it comes to short selling. Stocks typically decline much faster than they advance, and a sizable gain in the stock may be wiped out with an earnings miss or other bearish development. Conversely, entering the trade too ea
With the rise in risk sentiment, the market's heavyweight stocks have also begun to pull back. Although the performance of the seven tech giants this week has not been too different (except for $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ ), investors have significantly different expectations.Among them, the IVs of $Apple(AAPL)$ and $Alphabet(GOOG)$ have reached a historical high for the past year, which means that investors expect a large volatility to occur next (usually negative).And the tech giants' earnings reports are in two weeks. Theoretically, the IV level is quite high, but reaching the historical highest level directly indicates that the volatility expected by investors may n
🌟🌟🌟Is short selling a good strategy in a downtrend? For those who are new to investing Short Selling involves borrowing a security whose price you think is going to fall and then selling it on the open market. You then buy the same stock back later, hopefully for a lower price than what you initially sold it for, return the borrowed stock to the broker and pocket the difference. For example let's say Stock A is trading at USD 50 share. You borrow 100 shares and sell them for USD 5000. The price of Stock A subsequently drop to USD 25 a share, at which point I buy 100 shared to replace those you borrowed, netting a profit of USD 2500. Short selling may seem straightforward but it involves taking considerable risk. What are the risks?
$Invesco QQQ Trust-ETF(QQQ)$ I'm bearish in the short term because 1. Valuation Concerns: Some investors may be cautious about the valuation of technology stocks within the Nasdaq-100 Index, which could be considered relatively high compared to historical averages or fundamental metrics such as price-to-earnings ratios. Elevated valuations could potentially lead to a correction or pullback in the QQQ ETF. 2. Regulatory Risks: Technology companies within the Nasdaq-100 Index are subject to regulatory scrutiny, particularly in areas such as antitrust, data privacy, and platform governance. Regulatory actions or changes in government policies could impact the business models and profitability of these companies, potenti
The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ recently was 11% above its 125-day moving average (MA), that's a significant component of the Fear and Greed Index. However, a historical perspective offers some context. While not the highest on record (September 2020 saw 19% and May 2021 reached 11.5%), it is noteworthy. Historically, such overextensions have often led to a "visit" to the 125-day MA, a potential correction. However, there have also been instances where the 50-day MA served as a temporary bounce point (marked by green arrows) before the rally resumed to new highs with a lower degree of overextension and a subsequent visit to the 125-day MA at a higher price point. Given current technicals, supportive breadth indicators, and a RSI below 50 (similar to the p
Confidence has increased the downside momentum will continue
$SPX continues to defend the 5265 high following CPI and formed a impulse down. The impulse down is a bearish continuation pattern suggesting further downside below 5138 - likely targeting 5090 w/ potential to extend lower.

$Invesco QQQ Trust-ETF(QQQ)$ The recent performance of QQQ has been impressive, with the fund setting a record high and continuing to trend higher despite already soaring nearly 55% in 2023. However, as the fund approaches new highs, the interested investors (particularly those having position[Sly] ) may be wondering where the next support levels for QQQ will emerge, especially considering the dominance of just a handful of key stocks in the rally. Currently, the 50-day moving average, which sits around $430, could serve as a dynamic support level in the event of a short-term correction. Another key support level to monitor is the $420 level.

Since the pandemic in 2020, the U.S. stock market has shown extraordinary resilience. Even under the impact of high inflation and a rapid interest rate hike cycle, U.S. stocks have maintained a strong performance, even hitting new highs recently under the expectation of interest rate cuts. The reasons behind this are not as simple as they appear on the surface, but rather the result of a relay of factors.Souce: CICC Quarterly Foreign Direct Investment into US marketPillar 1: Leverage, The key role of government fiscal stimulusDuring the pandemic, the U.S. government implemented large-scale fiscal stimulus measures, including direct cash subsidies to residents and loan support to the corporate sector.
