Bond markets showed increasing skepticism about the Fed delivering two more rate cuts this year. Currently, traders see only about a 20% chance that the Fed will keep rates unchanged in November or December. Even after last Friday’s strong U.S. jobs report, the swaps market still suggests that by the end of the year, the Fed will cut rates by over 50 basis points, potentially through two consecutive cuts.This week, U.S. Treasury bonds fell. Bloomberg's U.S. Bond Index is set for a fourth straight week of declines, marking the worst performance since April. The 10-year Treasury yield is back above 4%, while the 30-year yield hit 4.41%, the highest since July 30.This shift reflects a string of mixed economic reports from the U.S., which have failed to give the Fed a strong reason to ease mon

United Airlines (UAL) Pricing Pressure Impact On Its Profitability
$United Continental(UAL)$ is scheduled to report its Q3 earnings results on 15 Oct (Tuesday) after the market close. Market is anticipating that United will report lower earnings for the July-September quarter than a year earlier, but higher revenue. The airline’s profit surged 23% in the second quarter, as record crowds at U.S. airports helped the carrier overcome sharply rising costs for fuel and labor. In July, United warned that its third-quarter results would miss Wall Street’s expectation, citing a glut of U.S. flights that led to airlines cutting prices to fill seats. The consensus EPS Estimate is $3.05 (-13.2% Y/Y) and the consensus Revenue Estimate is $14.73B (+1.7% Y/Y). Cautious Guidance Issued For Third-Quarter In July The management is

As earnings season kicks off, players are making their bets.Last week, we discussed the wealthy retail trader who went massively long Nvidia calls. On the very same day, an institution opened a huge upside position in the $S&P 500 ETF ($SPY)$:$SPY 20241220 615.0 CALL$ - 100,000 contracts traded for $32.5 million in premium.For context, index options see more muted moves compared to single stocks, so large flows typically involve spreads and hedges rather than outright directional bets.An outright 100,000 contract call purchase of this magnitude is quite unusual.And the block-size confirms this as an institutional order rather than a retail trade.Friends, I won't mince words - the driver has his foot on the accelerato
I opened $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ ,Price Dip The current pricing of Tesla shares, around $215-218, is a large discount on their $415 peak. This dip in price is something shrewd investors often look for when making a move. Risks to Consider While Tesla has many attractive qualities, there are also risks to consider: Volatility Tesla's shares have been very volatile, with positive trading updates sending its shares up sharply on multiple occasions, while any hint of underperformance typically gets punished with a big sell-off.
The much-anticipated event of the week finally happened on Thu, 10 Oct 2024 evening at Warner Bros. Discovery film studio. In a poor attempt to evoke Hollywood glitz & glam setting, $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$’s CEO rode a 2-seater robotaxi (called Cybercab), with butterfly doors to the stage. (see above) True to his beliefs of how an autonomous EV “should” look like, the Cybercab is without steering wheel and pedals. Enthusiastically Mr CEO shared: Cybercab can be had for below $30,000. Tesla hopes to produce Cybercab before 2027. Expects (not 100% confirmed) Tesla to have “unsupervised FSD” up & running in Texas and California in 2025 (no specifics) in its fleet of Model 3 & Y EVs. Cybercab would adopt “Inductive charging” where an EV rolls
