With interest rates expected to plateau soon, my 2 cent worth is stock market valuation may gradually appreciate due to the the foreseeable interest rate cuts in 2024. Of course barring any major economic catastrophic event, we should see stock marketing drifting upwards in 2024.

Its October 2023 and US market has just started its Q4 2023 journey. Since the beginning of this year, analysts have forewarned about US economy slipping into a recession as the central bank continued with interest hike from February 2023. The narrative changed when that did not happen (see above). With many diverse opinions swirling on the internet, things got a bit muddled. The question — “Is the US heading into recession ?” is something that I am very interested to confirm. This is because it will affect US stock market that will, in turn affect individual stock / company. Latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) monthly chart released on 13 Sep 2023, showed an “increase” in monthly inflation of +0.4% (in August 2023) versus July’s +0.2%. The spike (we all know) was large due to oil price

2 of the toughest months are behind us now During the last few weeks, stocks were on discount. Did you pick up any of them? Would be interested to know. Personally I have picked up Apple, Microsoft, Tesla and S&P500 in the last 1 month or so This week marks the start of a new month, and it was nice to see that the U.S. government avoided a shutdown over the weekend. Let’s see if the market can find its footing on the first trading day and week of the new month. ===== Check out my YouTube video for market and stocks analysis Stock Market Outlook (Oct) + LIVE Option Trade REVEALED! https://youtu.be/Z1ZzTPwZ81o $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$  $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ 

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$  Well, well, well, folks! The S&P 500 has once again decided to play hide and seek with the magical number 4300, and it seems like it's not in the mood to come out and play. So, what's the deal with this elusive 4300, you ask? Well, let's dive into the some analysis of the situation. First things first, let's talk about last Friday's data. It was like a surprise party you didn't know you were invited to, and it turned out pretty good! The Core PCE (that's Personal Consumption Expenditures for you non-financial wizards) decided to take a nosedive, and that's what gave the market a pat on the back. "Good job, market, you can keep partying!" Now, if you peek at the options market, yo

Nope. If a recession is expected, it wouldnt dip

Yes absolutely very possible

Personally, i think the recent brutal sell off has been overdone. But I like overdone stuff (except for my steak haha), so that I can take the opposite direction, and be a contrarian. Interestingly, Fear and Greed index has reached extreme greed level 2 days ago - the first time in about 6 months. Be greedy when others are fearful? Sold a Put on the day when the index hit extreme fear, on Tesla. Not financial advice. And it’s a risky move. Not just that, I have also picked up a few shares over the last few days Anyway, market doesn’t care about what we think . An oversold market can remain oversold for some time. We were sitting at key support levels for some of the stocks and indices. Good to see a nice bounce yesterday. ==== Stormy Stock Market! Further DOWNSIDE Ahead?? https://youtu.be/

Government Shutdowns A government shutdown occurs when Congress fails to pass a budget bill on time, or when it cannot agree on a spending bill to keep the government running. During a shutdown, all non-essential government services are suspended, and federal employees are either furloughed (placed on temporary unpaid leave) or required to work without pay. Impact on the $S&P 500(.SPX)$  The impact of a government shutdown on the S&P is difficult to predict, as it depends on a number of factors, including the length of the shutdown, the sectors of the economy that are affected, and the overall state of the economy. However, historically, government shutdowns have not had a significant impact on the S&

Awesome for everyone 

1. The US government is about to fall into the 22nd "shutdown" dilemma!According to public information, the U.S. federal government generally requires congressional appropriations based on fiscal years to maintain operations. The current fiscal year is about to end on September 30, and existing funds can only support the operation of the federal government until September 30. If the two parties cannot agree on a new fiscal year budget or an interim appropriation bill, starting from October 1 , some federal government agencies will be closed.Historically: The 35-day shutdown period from 2018 to 2019 was the longest.Gov shutdown 35 daysAt that time, the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ hit bottom on the second day of the government shutdown. During the 35 days o

Hello everyone! Today I want to share some technial analysis about .SPX with you!The Red Line GAP: (1) A break-away gap below at 4221-4241 serves as a magnet to draw the market lower. (2) I think it would be at least partially filled during this down leg, and most likely whip-sawed in a lower level w-4. (3) refilling the gap invalidates all bullish option.ImageA potential... (1) I have to emphasize another potential for this type of break-away gap--the market would mark that zone with another break-away gap, but to the opposite direction. (2) not saying this would happen, but TA indicators are strong enough to warrant such a warning.ImageThe LOW is 4238, just touching the GAP and partially filled it. I am not saying this is ALL of the refilling effort, but it is a major portion of it. Toda

Micron Technology (MU) released its FQ4 financial report after the market closed on September 27th. While the quarterly performance exceeded market expectations, the guidance for the next quarter appeared somewhat conservative, casting a shadow on investor sentiment. As a result, the stock fell more than 3% in after-hours trading.In terms of performance, for Q4 ending on August 31st, Micron reported revenue of $4.01 billion, down 29.6% year-over-year but surpassing the expected $3.93 billion. The adjusted gross margin was -9.1%, higher than Wall Street's expected 10.2%, and the adjusted EPS was -$1.07, while the market expected -$1.18. Operating cash flow was $249 million, lower than the analyst's forecast of $1.17 billion, but the operating cash flow for the same period last year was $3.7

As the benchmark interest rate of the global market, 10-year US Treasury bond rate hit a low of only 0.5% in 2020, but now has broken through 4.6%. Has the US already entered a high interest rate era? $iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF(TLT)$ $iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF(SGOV)$ A high interest rate era requires a significant increase in the central tendency of the US Treasury bond rate cycle. Based on existing data, although there is an upward risk to the central tendency of the US Treasury bond rate, the magnitude of the change may be limited and it may be premature to assert that we are returning to a high interest rate era like that of 1960-1980. Currently, the 10-year US Treasury bond rate is a

Key notes for all The break of key support at 434/435 was made by the market makers to bring it down with a gap.  So far, the selling has been manipulated with consistent selling with controlled buying also.  It could be a big bear trap should indicators start to point positively, e.g. govt shutdown averted, PCE, GDP, etc It might even short squeeze.  So note movement thursday note powell speech reaction on thursday note PCE reaction friday last night's move after 2am Singapore time was a good indication of what is possible. But, pls be mindful that I am not saying it cannot still want to form the lower high and then go down to 400 and below 400 @Deposit  @melson &
