Global Equity Fell Sharply as Investors Piled into Safe-Haven Assets. Will the Volatile Market Persist? The market continued to be affected by geopolitical conflicts and weakness in technology stocks heading into the weekend. All three major U.S. stock indexes wavered throughout the session, with weakness in the chip sector weighing the Nasdaq down the most. The $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$   fell 0.52% on Thursday. 10-year US Treasury yields fell, with the yield rising from a low of 4.52% on April 18th to a peak of 4.60%. The dollar index rose 0.19%, appreciating against a basket of world currencies. Major Asian stock indexes tumble on Friday. At the close in Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 declined 2.53% to hit a new 1-month

It’s A “Mistake” ! I made the “mistake” of buying the dip on Thu, 18 Apr 2024 to add to my existing holdings on Basic materials stock - $Vale SA(VALE)$. According to $Morgan Stanley(MS)$, Chief Investment Officer, Mike Wilson, currently the 3 “stable” sectors will be: Energy ( $Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLE)$ ). Materials ( $Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLB)$ ). Industrials ( $Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLI)$ ). As part of my diversification strategy in investment, I try my best to put my eggs in different baskets. I made the decision to “buy the dip” because I di

. LVMH Sales Slows. Sales growth for $LVMH-Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton(LVMUY)$ (owner of Louis Vuitton, Tiffany, etc.) slowed to 3% in Q1 2024, on an organic basis to 20.69 billion Euros (US$22 billion), matching analyst expectations. This came in lower than last year, 2023 when sales boomed due to China’s reopening after a super stringent Covid lockdown. Rising prices and a global slowdown are causing some luxury shoppers to hold back on expensive purchases. LVMH, Europe's 2nd-largest listed company (with nearly 400 billion Euros net worth) is the first luxury brand to report earnings, setting the overall tone for the luxury industry. LVMH Q1 2024 Earnings. Sales in Asia (excluding Japan) were down -6%, while Europe and US saw a slight increa

🌟🌟🌟Dow Jones Futures, S&P500 Futures and Nasdaq Futures fell sharply amid reports of Israeli strikes in Iran today.  Treasury yields dropped while Crude oil jumped.

We have seen $CME Bitcoin - main 2404(BTCmain)$ climb 4% and focus have sharpened on the $58.8K as potential pivot point. This is because if we go back to before 18 April, where we saw Bitcoin was just below $60,000 on 17 April. We have since saw a 4% rally, CryptoSlate has identified $58.8k as a major support level — which is the short-term holder realized price (STH RP) that has previously acted as support during bull runs. If Bitcoin drops below the support level, it could signal a bearish trend, similar to the breach of STH RP in May 2021 that kicked off the bear market. The URPD (Unspent Realized Price Distribution) metric, as defined by Glassnode, shows the prices at which the current set of Bitcoin UTXOs were created — with each bar r

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$   Iran’s response if Israel takes any further military action against it would be “immediate and at a maximum level,” Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told CNN Thursday, as fears rise of an escalation of the conflict in the Middle East. “In case the Israeli regime embarks on adventurism again and takes action against the interests of Iran, the next response from us will be immediate and at a maximum level,” Amir-Abdollahian told CNN’s Erin Burnett in an exclusive interview in New York. His remarks come in the wake of an unprecedented Iranian attack on Israel last week that Tehran said was retaliation for a deadly suspected Israeli airstrike on Iran’s consulate

Large companies that release their financial performance early in the reporting season often provide strong guidance for similar companies. $Netflix(NFLX)$ was the first to announce its Q1 performance after hours on April 18. Judging from the comparison between the performance of the quarter and market expectations, this was an "exceeding expectations" financial report, but it dropped by 4% after hours, also signaling that investors have identified areas that require caution. Investment highlightsRevenue growth 15% year-on-year , the best in two years, and an expected 13% to 15% growth in revenue for the fiscal year 2024.

The pattern that we observed throughout the week at the NYSE index appeared to shadow yesterday’s trading session. We saw some early gains which seem to dissipate after the market show lack of strong buying interest. The dominance of decliners over advancers across both NYSE and NASDAQ was reflected in the trading session. Yesterday session saw the major indexes ended mixed, with S&P 500, NASDAQ and Russell 2000 giving their fifth consecutive loss, only Dow Jones managed to gather a marginal gain. Significant Contribution From Notable Movements In Heavy-weighted Stocks Yesterday market dynamics was largely contributed by some notable movements in heavily-weighted stocks. Microsoft, Amazon and Tesla suffered declines, with Tesla hitting their new 52-week low. Their performances had a n

In response to rising inflation, the Federal Reserve implemented a two-pronged approach:  * Interest Rate Hikes: The Fed raised the federal funds rate throughout 2022 and early 2023. This makes borrowing more expensive, which can slow economic activity and reduce inflation.  * Balance Sheet Reduction: The Fed also began reducing its balance sheet by letting its holdings of Treasury bonds mature without reinvesting the proceeds. This reduces the money supply in circulation, putting downward pressure on inflation. oil above 80, middle east tensions, supply chain disruptions are causing us inflation to remain elevated. recently fed officials reiterate that there is no urgency to reduce fed rate. the market reaction last night was from green to red.
