Similar trends have been seen in prices for airline tickets, motor vehicle insurance and apparel prices, which pulled back in July after spiking earlier in late spring and early summer.</p>\n<p>Other categories of consumer prices have seen more sustained increases, especially in food and energy prices. Other services-related areas of consumption have also seen sustained rises, with consumers returning to in-person activities like dining out at bars and restaurants and leisure traveling. The CPI's \"services less energy services\" category has on a monthly basis in every month so far in 2021 except January, mostly recently at a 0.3% clip.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b3ba3dcdb70c21ee0f288bf7cd56e371\" tg-width=\"4949\" tg-height=\"3345\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Muhlenberg, PA - March 18: Redner's Quick Shoppe employee Julie Zezenski and Manager Pete Ostrowski work behind the counter at the Redner's Quick Shoppe on Tuckerton Road in Muhlenberg township Thursday afternoon March 18, 2021. (Photo by Ben Hasty/MediaNews Group/Reading Eagle via Getty Images)MediaNews Group/Reading Eagle via Getty Images via Getty Images</p>\n<p>\"Although the rise in global CPI inflation earlier this year was concentrated in energy and a narrow set of goods prices linked to supply constraints, the acceleration in food prices, alongside a recent pickup in services price inflation, sends a signal that pandemic-related pressures on prices are broadening,\" JPMorgan economists Nora Szentivanyi and Bruce Kasman wrote in a note last week.</p>\n<p>\"While we believe much of this pressure will prove transitory, inflation should remain elevated through early next year, as rising food and services price inflation offsets a moderation in energy and core goods price gains,\" they added.</p>\n<p>The CPI also serves as another metric pointing to the relative stickiness or transience of inflationary pressures in the recovering economy. Its outsized increases earlier this year — along with increases in the Federal Reserve's preferred inflationary gauge, core personal consumption expenditures — have suggested to some economists that the central bank might be prudent to alter its monetary policies to stave off a sustained overheating of the economy.</p>\n<p>Federal Reserve policymakers, however, have largely stuck to the conviction that inflation will prove transitory in this economy. Central bank officials like Fed Chair Jerome Powell further suggested that a premature policy move could actually backfire by cutting short the recovery in the labor market.</p>\n<p>\"The spike in inflation is so far largely the product of a relatively narrow group of goods and services that have been directly affected by the pandemic and the reopening of the economy,\" Powell said during his speech at the central bank's Jackson Hole symposium in late August.</p>\n<p>\"Some prices — for example, for hotel rooms and airplane tickets — declined sharply during the recession and have now moved back up close to pre-pandemic levels,\" he said. \"The 12-month window we use in computing inflation now captures the rebound in prices but not the initial decline, temporarily elevating reported inflation. These effects, which are adding a few tenths to measured inflation, should wash out over time.\"</p>\n<h2>Retail sales</h2>\n<p>Another closely watched economic data report out this week will be Thursday's retail sales print from the U.S. Commerce Department.</p>\n<p>Consumer spending has retreated in recent months as a boost from stimulus checks and other government support faded compared to earlier this year. In July, retail sales fell by a worse-than-expected 1.1%, which was more than three times greater than the drop expected.</p>\n<p>The August retail sales report will capture more of the impact on spending from the latest jump in coronavirus cases, with infections related to the Delta variant's spread having picked up mid-summer. Consensus economists expect to see sales fall for a back-to-back month, dropping by 0.8% for the month.</p>\n<p>Some service-related spending already slowed in July, suggesting consumers were already going out somewhat less frequently as infections mounted. Food services and drinking places sales increase by 1.7% in July, following a 2.4% monthly gain in June.</p>\n<p>The August retail sales report, however, will not capture any impact on spending related to the national expiration of enhanced unemployment benefits. Throughout the summer, about half of U.S. states had ended pandemic-era federal jobless benefits to try and incentivize unemployed individuals to return to work. The other half of states ended these benefits by Sept. 6.</p>\n<p>Future retail sales reports for September and onward may reflect slowing sales as a result of the expiration of this aid, some economists suggested.</p>\n<p>\"Spending by the unemployed, especially low-income households, has been supported by enhanced unemployment benefits,\" Rubeela Farooqi, chief economist at High Frequency Economics, wrote in a note. \"Absent this support, spending outcomes will surely be different, especially if households are less secure about job prospects going forward.\"</p>\n<h2>Economic calendar</h2>\n<ul>\n <li><p><b>Monday: </b>Monthly budget statement, August (-$302.1 billion during prior month)</p></li>\n <li><p><b>Tuesday: </b>NFIB Small Business Optimism, August (99.7 during prior month);

Similar trends have been seen in prices for airline tickets, motor vehicle insurance and apparel prices, which pulled back in July after spiking earlier in late spring and early summer.\nOther categories of consumer prices have seen more sustained increases, especially in food and energy prices. Other services-related areas of consumption have also seen sustained rises, with consumers returning to in-person activities like dining out at bars and restaurants and leisure traveling. The CPI's \"services less energy services\" category has on a monthly basis in every month so far in 2021 except January, mostly recently at a 0.3% clip.\nMuhlenberg, PA - March 18: Redner's Quick Shoppe employee Julie Zezenski and Manager Pete Ostrowski work behind the counter at the Redner's Quick Shoppe on Tuckerton Road in Muhlenberg township Thursday afternoon March 18, 2021.

Its outsized increases earlier this year — along with increases in the Federal Reserve's preferred inflationary gauge, core personal consumption expenditures — have suggested to some economists that the central bank might be prudent to alter its monetary policies to stave off a sustained overheating of the economy.\nFederal Reserve policymakers, however, have largely stuck to the conviction that inflation will prove transitory in this economy. Central bank officials like Fed Chair Jerome Powell further suggested that a premature policy move could actually backfire by cutting short the recovery in the labor market.\n\"The spike in inflation is so far largely the product of a relatively narrow group of goods and services that have been directly affected by the pandemic and the reopening of the economy,\" Powell said during his speech at the central bank's Jackson Hole symposium in late August.\n\"Some prices — for example, for hotel rooms and airplane tickets — declined sharply during the recession and have now moved back up close to pre-pandemic levels,\" he said. \"The 12-month window we use in computing inflation now captures the rebound in prices but not the initial decline, temporarily elevating reported inflation. These effects, which are adding a few tenths to measured inflation, should wash out over time.\"\nRetail sales\nAnother closely watched economic data report out this week will be Thursday's retail sales print from the U.S. Commerce Department.\nConsumer spending has retreated in recent months as a boost from stimulus checks and other government support faded compared to earlier this year. In July, retail sales fell by a worse-than-expected 1.1%, which was more than three times greater than the drop expected.\nThe August retail sales report will capture more of the impact on spending from the latest jump in coronavirus cases, with infections related to the Delta variant's spread having picked up mid-summer. Consensus economists expect to see sales fall for a back-to-back month, dropping by 0.8% for the month.\nSome service-related spending already slowed in July, suggesting consumers were already going out somewhat less frequently as infections mounted. Food services and drinking places sales increase by 1.7% in July, following a 2.4% monthly gain in June.\nThe August retail sales report, however, will not capture any impact on spending related to the national expiration of enhanced unemployment benefits. Throughout the summer, about half of U.S. states had ended pandemic-era federal jobless benefits to try and incentivize unemployed individuals to return to work. The other half of states ended these benefits by Sept. 6.\nFuture retail sales reports for September and onward may reflect slowing sales as a result of the expiration of this aid, some economists suggested.\n\"Spending by the unemployed, especially low-income households, has been supported by enhanced unemployment benefits,\" Rubeela Farooqi, chief economist at High Frequency Economics, wrote in a note. \"Absent this support, spending outcomes will surely be different, especially if households are less secure about job prospects going forward.\"\nEconomic calendar\n\nMonday: Monthly budget statement, August (-$302.1 billion during prior month)\nTuesday: NFIB Small Business Optimism, August (99.7 during prior month);

Despite its rather tame 2.2% yield, cannabis-focused real estate investment trust (REIT) <b>Innovative Industrial Properties</b> (NYSE:IIPR) remains as exciting an investment as ever.</p>\n<p>Innovative Industrial Properties, or IIP for short, has a pretty simple operating model. It aims to acquire medical marijuana cultivating and processing facilities that it then leases out for long periods of time. While most of the company's growth will come from acquisitions, it does pass along inflationary rental increases each year, as well as collects a property-management fee that's based on the annual rental rate. Long story short, there's a modest organic growth component that can provide a little extra kick.</p>\n<p>As of mid-August, IIP had 74 properties in its portfolio spanning 18 states and covering 6.9 million square feet of rentable space. The kicker is that 100% of this rentable space was completely leased, with a weighted-average lease length of 16.6 years. The implication is that IIP should enjoy highly predictable cash flow for more than a decade to come.</p>\n<p>Another important catalyst to the Innovative Industrial Properties growth story is the continued failure of cannabis banking reform at the federal level. Even though most Americans favor a nationwide legalization of pot, its Schedule I status at the federal level means most banks and credit unions won't offer marijuana stocks basic financial services. As long as this remains the case, IIP can step in with its sale-leaseback program.</p>\n<p>Under the sale-leaseback program, IIP acquires properties from multistate operators (MSOs) for cash. It then leases the property back to the seller. This agreement allows MSOs to bulk up their balance sheet with cash, while netting IIP a number of established long-term tenants.</p>\n<p>Since doling out its first quarterly dividend four years ago, Innovative Industrial Properties has grown its payout by 833%, all while its share price is up more than 1,600%. Though a repeat performance is highly unlikely over the coming four years, a juicier payout and higher share price is a distinct possibility.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/92a2d8e7afac107790ed99b1c18bf78e\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h3>Invesco Mortgage Capital: 11.7% yield</h3>\n<p>If ultra-high-yield dividend stocks are your thing, mortgage REIT <b>Invesco Mortgage Capital</b> (NYSE:IVR) and its 11.7% yield are begging to be bought.</p>\n<p>Mortgage REITs are companies that borrow money at short-term lending rates and use that capital to acquire assets (mortgage-backed securities) with a higher long-term yield. The goal here is to maximize the difference between the average yield on assets held minus the average borrowing cost. This difference is known as net interest margin.</p>\n<p>Last year, when the pandemic struck, Invesco found itself in a world of trouble because its portfolio was packed with commercial mortgage-backed securities and credit-risk transfer assets that were non-agency. A non-agency security isn't backed by the federal government in the event of default.</p>\n<p>However, management has wised up over the past year and change and is now almost exclusively focusing on agency securities. Though the yields on agency assets are lower than non-agency securities, the protection from default is invaluable and provides Invesco Mortgage with the opportunity to utilize leverage to pump up its profit potential.</p>\n<p>Something else to notice about mortgage REITs is that they perform particularly well during the first few years of an economic recovery. Typically, economic bouncebacks feature a steepening yield curve (i.e., long-term yields rising at a much faster pace than short-term yields), which has a tendency to widen the net interest margin for mortgage REITs. This is often a formula for valuation expansion for mortgage REITs like Invesco.</p>\n<p>Lastly, Invesco can be gobbled up for 5% below its book value of $3.26 a share, as of this past weekend. Although the book value for mortgage REITs can fluctuate, the expectation is we'll see higher book values over the coming years as net interest margin widens.

In short, this discount is investors' cue to pounce on this ultra-high-yield small-cap stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":565,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":883003097,"gmtCreate":1631184954719,"gmtModify":1676530490160,"author":{"id":"3575954804845795","authorId":"3575954804845795","authorIdStr":"3575954804845795","name":"carjang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/732d4ecea777f9244e2d24307b0c180f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575954804845795"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like

Moderna","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2160322137","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"A new South African study shows the one-dose vaccine is highly effective against the delta variant.","content":"<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JNJ\">Johnson &amp; Johnson</a> 's (NYSE:JNJ) COVID-19 vaccine has had some challenges this year. From production issues to some disquieting reports of blood clots possibly being linked to the vaccine, it hasn't been the success the company was likely hoping it would be at this stage.&nbsp;Vaccines from <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PFE\">Pfizer</a> (NYSE:PFE) and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MRNA\">Moderna, Inc.</a> (NASDAQ:MRNA) have generated far more revenue for those companies and appear to be the vaccines of choice for many people.</p>\n<p>However, the delta variant may change that, as both Moderna and Pfizer are suggesting booster shots are necessary. And the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently authorized a third dose for people with weakened immune systems. Meanwhile, a new study has found the Johnson &amp; Johnson vaccine to be highly effective against the delta variant, so booster shots may not be necessary for individuals who receive that vaccine. While a lack of boosters won't translate to more revenue from the vaccine, it's a development that could ultimately lead to Johnson &amp; Johnson's vaccine rising in popularity and grabbing more market share.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F639287%2Fa-person-receiving-a-vaccine-from-a-nurse.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Getty Images.</p>\n<h2>The underdog vaccine?</h2>\n<p>Johnson &amp; Johnson expects to make $2.5 billion in revenue from its COVID-19 vaccine in 2021. That's a drop in the bucket for the mammoth business, which generated more than $80 billion in revenue in 2020.</p>\n<p>Moderna's vaccine sales could reach $20 billion by the end of this year. And that's still well behind Pfizer, which estimates its vaccine sales will hit $33.5 billion this year as it leads the way, producing up to 3 billion doses in 2021. Moderna doesn't anticipate it will be able to produce that many doses annually until next year. In 2021, its production could reach 1 billion doses.</p>\n<p>Johnson &amp; Johnson only expects to produce up to 600 million doses of its single-shot vaccine this year, down from its earlier target of 1 billion. Its struggles stem in large part from difficulties at a plant in Baltimore run by <b>Emergent BioSolutions</b>, where concerns relating to cross-contamination led to a shutdown of its factory in March. The FDA only recently gave the plant the green light to reopen.</p>\n<p>It also didn't help that some people felt, correctly or not, that J&amp;J's vaccine wasn't as effective as the other ones granted Emergency Use Authorization by the FDA.</p>\n<h2>J&amp;J's efficacy numbers don't tell the whole story</h2>\n<p>One of the challenges that Johnson &amp; Johnson's vaccine has faced is that from the start, it didn't look like it stacked up well against the shots from Moderna and Pfizer. In January, the company reported that its vaccine was 66% effective in preventing moderate and severe cases of COVID-19. In preventing severe disease only, that figure rose to 85%. However, that looks far less impressive than the vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, both of which demonstrated more than 90% efficacy when those companies reported the results of their trials in November 2020.</p>\n<p>But the problem is that Johnson &amp; Johnson's vaccine data were never a fair comparison: It only completed <i>enrolling</i> participants in the first phase of its vaccine trial a month later, in December 2020. By then, coronavirus had evolved and new variants of concern were emerging in the U.K., Brazil, and South Africa. In Moderna's and Pfizer's earlier trials, those variants would not have played as much of a role (if at all) in their overall efficacy rates as they did in Johnson &amp; Johnson's trials; when looking at just the U.S., J&amp;J's vaccine efficacy rose to 72% in preventing moderate and severe disease.</p>\n<p>From the start, J&amp;J's vaccine was disadvantaged because of the numbers, which inevitably led to comparisons. But there's a new study that could be much more promising for Johnson &amp; Johnson and lead to greater demand for its shot.</p>\n<h2>High effectiveness against the delta variant</h2>\n<p>A new study from South Africa, called Sisonke, has shown Johnson &amp; Johnson's vaccine to be highly effective against <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the most concerning variants around right now -- delta. The trial is massive and involves 480,000 healthcare workers (Johnson &amp; Johnson's initial phase 3 trial was relatively large and had only 45,000 participants). Although the data hasn't been peer-reviewed, the initial numbers are extremely encouraging -- showing 71% efficacy in preventing hospitalizations in delta-related cases. And in terms of preventing death, the overall efficacy rose to 96%.</p>\n<p>By comparison, studies on two doses of the Pfizer vaccine suggest efficacy rates could range between 42% and 96% against delta. Moderna has also had varying efficacy rates but it looks to be a bit higher, at around 76%. But what's common to both is that people need two doses of the vaccine, as a single dose offers weaker protection. And that's where the advantage could sway significantly in Johnson &amp; Johnson's favor as its single-shot vaccine would be significantly easier to administer.</p>\n<h2>Is this a game-changer for Johnson &amp; Johnson?</h2>\n<p>Johnson &amp; Johnson's vaccine could quickly help countries around the world increase their vaccination rates. Without having to wait several weeks between doses, a single-shot vaccine that's effective against the delta variant could be in high demand.</p>\n<p>If production-related issues are sorted out and concerns ease about its efficacy, Johnson &amp; Johnson could make up some serious ground in the COVID-19 vaccine market. It has a long way to go in overtaking Pfizer and Moderna in market share, but the healthcare giant is a major player in the industry with significant resources. It could ramp up production to meet a surge in demand. And that's why investors shouldn't count out the role that vaccine sales may play in its future.</p>\n<p>But there is danger in investing based on a specific COVID-19 variant. Things have been changing rapidly, and a new variant could emerge that renders all of the currently available vaccines nearly useless. And so while Johnson &amp; Johnson's vaccine does look like it should rebound in the future, and even though it has an outside chance of overtaking both Moderna and Pfizer, those factors aren't enough to make it a sure thing; there's just too much uncertainty. The stock isn't all that safe over the long term either; Johnson &amp; Johnson's legal troubles in other areas of its business are enough of a reason for me to stay away from the stock.</p>\n<p>However, if you are comfortable with the risk and uncertainty and want exposure to the COVID-19 vaccine market, investing in Johnson &amp; Johnson is still a better option than buying shares of a soaring stock like Moderna, which is trading more than $100 higher than price targets set by even some of the most bullish of analysts. And given that it is a bit of an underdog in this race, Johnson &amp; Johnson's ability to produce some better-than-anticipated vaccine sales could lead to significant analyst upgrades, which, in turn, may lead to some great returns for shareholders who buy the stock today.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Here's Why Johnson & Johnson's Vaccine Could Overtake Both Pfizer and Moderna</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nHere's Why Johnson & Johnson's Vaccine Could Overtake Both Pfizer and Moderna\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-19 16:21 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/18/heres-why-johnson-johnsons-vaccine-could-overtake/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Johnson & Johnson 's (NYSE:JNJ) COVID-19 vaccine has had some challenges this year.

From production issues to some disquieting reports of blood clots possibly being linked to the vaccine, it hasn't been the success the company was likely hoping it would be at this stage. Vaccines from Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) and Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) have generated far more revenue for those companies and appear to be the vaccines of choice for many people.\nHowever, the delta variant may change that, as both Moderna and Pfizer are suggesting booster shots are necessary. And the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently authorized a third dose for people with weakened immune systems. Meanwhile, a new study has found the Johnson & Johnson vaccine to be highly effective against the delta variant, so booster shots may not be necessary for individuals who receive that vaccine. While a lack of boosters won't translate to more revenue from the vaccine, it's a development that could ultimately lead to Johnson & Johnson's vaccine rising in popularity and grabbing more market share.\n\nImage source: Getty Images.\nThe underdog vaccine?\nJohnson & Johnson expects to make $2.5 billion in revenue from its COVID-19 vaccine in 2021. That's a drop in the bucket for the mammoth business, which generated more than $80 billion in revenue in 2020.\nModerna's vaccine sales could reach $20 billion by the end of this year. And that's still well behind Pfizer, which estimates its vaccine sales will hit $33.5 billion this year as it leads the way, producing up to 3 billion doses in 2021. Moderna doesn't anticipate it will be able to produce that many doses annually until next year. In 2021, its production could reach 1 billion doses.\nJohnson & Johnson only expects to produce up to 600 million doses of its single-shot vaccine this year, down from its earlier target of 1 billion. Its struggles stem in large part from difficulties at a plant in Baltimore run by Emergent BioSolutions, where concerns relating to cross-contamination led to a shutdown of its factory in March. The FDA only recently gave the plant the green light to reopen.\nIt also didn't help that some people felt, correctly or not, that J&J's vaccine wasn't as effective as the other ones granted Emergency Use Authorization by the FDA.\nJ&J's efficacy numbers don't tell the whole story\nOne of the challenges that Johnson & Johnson's vaccine has faced is that from the start, it didn't look like it stacked up well against the shots from Moderna and Pfizer. In January, the company reported that its vaccine was 66% effective in preventing moderate and severe cases of COVID-19. In preventing severe disease only, that figure rose to 85%. However, that looks far less impressive than the vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, both of which demonstrated more than 90% efficacy when those companies reported the results of their trials in November 2020.\nBut the problem is that Johnson & Johnson's vaccine data were never a fair comparison: It only completed enrolling participants in the first phase of its vaccine trial a month later, in December 2020. By then, coronavirus had evolved and new variants of concern were emerging in the U.K., Brazil, and South Africa. In Moderna's and Pfizer's earlier trials, those variants would not have played as much of a role (if at all) in their overall efficacy rates as they did in Johnson & Johnson's trials; when looking at just the U.S., J&J's vaccine efficacy rose to 72% in preventing moderate and severe disease.\nFrom the start, J&J's vaccine was disadvantaged because of the numbers, which inevitably led to comparisons. But there's a new study that could be much more promising for Johnson & Johnson and lead to greater demand for its shot.\nHigh effectiveness against the delta variant\nA new study from South Africa, called Sisonke, has shown Johnson & Johnson's vaccine to be highly effective against one of the most concerning variants around right now -- delta. The trial is massive and involves 480,000 healthcare workers (Johnson & Johnson's initial phase 3 trial was relatively large and had only 45,000 participants). Although the data hasn't been peer-reviewed, the initial numbers are extremely encouraging -- showing 71% efficacy in preventing hospitalizations in delta-related cases. And in terms of preventing death, the overall efficacy rose to 96%.\nBy comparison, studies on two doses of the Pfizer vaccine suggest efficacy rates could range between 42% and 96% against delta. Moderna has also had varying efficacy rates but it looks to be a bit higher, at around 76%. But what's common to both is that people need two doses of the vaccine, as a single dose offers weaker protection. And that's where the advantage could sway significantly in Johnson & Johnson's favor as its single-shot vaccine would be significantly easier to administer.\nIs this a game-changer for Johnson & Johnson?\nJohnson & Johnson's vaccine could quickly help countries around the world increase their vaccination rates. Without having to wait several weeks between doses, a single-shot vaccine that's effective against the delta variant could be in high demand.\nIf production-related issues are sorted out and concerns ease about its efficacy, Johnson & Johnson could make up some serious ground in the COVID-19 vaccine market. It has a long way to go in overtaking Pfizer and Moderna in market share, but the healthcare giant is a major player in the industry with significant resources. It could ramp up production to meet a surge in demand. And that's why investors shouldn't count out the role that vaccine sales may play in its future.\nBut there is danger in investing based on a specific COVID-19 variant. Things have been changing rapidly, and a new variant could emerge that renders all of the currently available vaccines nearly useless. And so while Johnson & Johnson's vaccine does look like it should rebound in the future, and even though it has an outside chance of overtaking both Moderna and Pfizer, those factors aren't enough to make it a sure thing; there's just too much uncertainty. The stock isn't all that safe over the long term either; Johnson & Johnson's legal troubles in other areas of its business are enough of a reason for me to stay away from the stock.\nHowever, if you are comfortable with the risk and uncertainty and want exposure to the COVID-19 vaccine market, investing in Johnson & Johnson is still a better option than buying shares of a soaring stock like Moderna, which is trading more than $100 higher than price targets set by even some of the most bullish of analysts. And given that it is a bit of an underdog in this race, Johnson & Johnson's ability to produce some better-than-anticipated vaccine sales could lead to significant analyst upgrades, which, in turn, may lead to some great returns for shareholders who buy the stock today.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":163,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":838078737,"gmtCreate":1629361822029,"gmtModify":1676530015316,"author":{"id":"3575954804845795","authorId":"3575954804845795","authorIdStr":"3575954804845795","name":"carjang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/732d4ecea777f9244e2d24307b0c180f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575954804845795"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment please&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment please&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment please","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a8ae55c7f7056573a48a686ca09362cb","width":"1125","height":"3384"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/838078737","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":66,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":831103407,"gmtCreate":1629293400009,"gmtModify":1676529993777,"author":{"id":"3575954804845795","authorId":"3575954804845795","authorIdStr":"3575954804845795","name":"carjang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/732d4ecea777f9244e2d24307b0c180f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575954804845795"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment please&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment please&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/831103407","repostId":"1197230007","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1197230007","pubTimestamp":1629292806,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1197230007?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-18 21:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Futures Dip As Traders Await Fed Minutes","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1197230007","media":"zerohedge","summary":"US equity futures and global markets were flat in listless trading as investors assessed the outlook","content":"<p>US equity futures and global markets were flat in listless trading as investors assessed the outlook for economic recovery and awaited the latest Federal Reserve minutes to gauge the direction of monetary policy while tracking the latest covid lockdown in New Zealand and on edge ahead of possible turbulence in Friday's OpEx.

NZX 50 (+0.7%) was underpinned after the RBNZ surprisingly kept rates unchanged at 0.25% in which it cited the lockdown and uncertainty for its decision to refrain from a lift-off, while Nikkei 225 (+0.6%) gradually strengthened despite the initially choppy mood which was at the whim of the domestic currency and after mixed machinery orders and trade data. Hang Seng (+0.5%) and Shanghai Comp. (+1.1%) conformed to the mild positive bias with focus shifting to incoming earnings including Tencent which are due later today, while reports also noted that China vowed to increase the proportion of the middle-income group and is said to be seeking to raise rural consumption to as much as CNY 10tln. Finally, 10yr JGBs were lacklustre amid mixed data from Japan and with demand sapped after risk sentiment in Tokyo gradually improved, but with downside also stemmed given the BoJ’s presence in the market for over JPY 1.3tln of JGBs with 1yr-10yr maturities.</p>\n<p><i>Top Asian News</i></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Japan’s Faster Vaccine Rollout is Good News for the Economy</li>\n <li>Japan Cancels F1 Grand Prix for Second Year in a Row</li>\n <li>Taliban Ring Kabul Airport With Checkpoints: Afghanistan Update</li>\n <li>Korean Firm Moves With IPO to Fund Eco-friendly Ships: ECM Watch</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>European equities (Eurostoxx 50 -0.3%) trade with a mild negative bias as gains in the futures markets faded ahead of the cash open. Hopes had been for a firmer start to the session given the more upbeat tone seen in Asia-Pac bourses</b>, however, a lack of fresh macro impulses from a European perspective saw enthusiasm wane amid holiday-thinned conditions. Stateside, futures are hugging the unchanged mark as investors await minutes from the FOMC’s July announcement and pre-market earnings from US retailer Target while Lowe's beat on top and bottom lines alongside raising FY21 guidance. Sectoral performance in Europe is relatively mixed with modest outperformance in Real Estate and Travel &amp; Leisure names. Basic Resources lag peers as BHP gives back some of yesterday’s earnings-inspired gains with the Co. facing criticism over its decision to abandon its FTSE 100 listing in favour of Sydney. Individual movers are somewhat sparse as the region heads out of earnings season. That said, results from Alcon (+11.0%) and a subsequent guidance raise have sent their shares to the top of the Stoxx 600. Carlsberg (+2.8%) is also gaining post-earnings with the Co. increasing guidance and announcing a share buyback following a recovery in beer volumes. To the downside, Persimmon (-2.5%) sit near the foot of the FTSE 100 despite noting that current forward sales are up around 9% from pre-pandemic levels.</p>\n<p><i>Top European News</i></p>\n<ul>\n <li>World’s No. 1 Wealth Fund Makes $110 Billion as Stocks Soar</li>\n <li>Tesla Wins Volkswagen’s Support in Push for India EV Tax Cut</li>\n <li>Carlsberg Raises Earnings Forecast Again as Bars Reopen</li>\n <li>Philip Morris Buys 22.61% of Vectura’s Shares on the Market</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>In FX,</b>the Sterling has pushed forward past its G10 peers with no clear catalyst behind the rise. UK CPI metrics fell short of expectations for July across the board with clothing and footwear, and a variety of recreational goods and services made the largest downward contributions, whilst the upside was led by rises in second hand vehicles. Pre-data, desks flagged a cooling of inflation as a by-product of the base effects from 2020 - with the August report expected to mark a pickup in inflation. GBP/USD rebounded from its current 1.3729 base back above 1.3750 ahead of its 200DMA at 1.3778. EUR/USD trades just north of 1.1700 having tested the level to the downside in the early hours, with technicians flagging 1.1695 as the next support point (38.2% fib of the 2020-21 move), a dip below that opens the door to 1.1688 (16th Oct low) ahead of the psychological 1.1650. The pair was unmoved by unrevised EZ CPI metrics across the board.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>DXY - The Buck is on a mildly softer footing as risk sentiment is seemingly more constructive than it had been earlier this week - with some desks also noting of a reversal in the crowded long USD. The Fed Chair kept his cards close to his chest during yesterday's appearance and ahead of tonight's FOMC minutes (full preview available in the Newsquawk research suite). DXY threatens a breach of 93.000 at the time of writing having had waned from its earlier 93.150 high, whilst the next point of support is still some way off at yesterday's 92.611 low.</li>\n <li>NZD, AUD, CAD - The non-US Dollars resided near the top of the G10 bunch in early European trade with mild gains but then lost the top spots to the EUR and GBP. Overnight, the RBNZ opted for a hawkish hold in its OCR vs dwindling expectations for a 25bps hike heading into the confab. The central bank's stance is being framed as hawkish nonetheless as it remains on a course towards removing monetary stimulus given the backdrop of strong economic data, with this decision merely a \"pause\" in the face of a COVID threat, whilst banks suggest that lockdown downfalls can be addressed by fiscal policy. NZD/USD saw a knee-jerk lower to a new YTD low (0.6868) upon the surprise hold but immediately retraced it and reclaimed a 0.6900 handle as the rate path saw sizeable upgrades across the board. NZD/USD however encounters some mild pressure as US players enter the fray and react to the RBNZ. The AUD/NZD cross similarly fleetingly spiked above 1.0500 to match yesterday's 1.0540 best before relinquishing the level. Meanwhile, AUD/USD traded subdued overnight as base metal prices continued to be impacted by Chinese intervention with the AUD/USD pair around the 0.7250 mark within a narrow 0.740-69 range. Elsewhere, the Loonie looks ahead to its inflation figures later in the session with the USD/CAD pair just north of 1.2600 but off the 1.2640 overnight high. Analysts at SocGen suggest that the pair above its 200 DMA (1.2560) opens the door for a rise closer towards 1.3000 - with the CAD-WTI correlation also strengthening over the past month to 0.5 from 0.25.</li>\n <li>JPY, CHF - The traditional safe-havens are flat with not much to report as traders look for the next catalyst. USD/JPY found support at 109.50 and just about eclipsed its 100 DMA at 109.65, with the 50 DMA then seen at 110.15. USD/CHF is sandwiched between its 50 and 100 DMA at 0.9148 and 0.9124 respectively.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>In commodities,</b>WTI and Brent front-month futures are on a mildly firmer footing, with the former around USD 67/bbl (vs low USD 66.42/bbl) and the latter around USD 69.50/bbl (vs low USD USD 68.90/bbl). However, in the grander scheme, prices are consolidating amid a lack of catalysts ahead of the FOMC policy decision. Last night's inventory report turned out to be mildly bullish but participants await confirmation from the EIA metrics later, with the headline seen drawing 1.055mln bbls. Another development to keep on the radar - India has begun selling oil from strategic reserves after a policy shift and as part of a plan to commercialise its storage and lease space. Meanwhile, spot gold and silver are overall little changed ahead of the FOMC minutes, with the former hitting interim resistance at USD 1,794/oz (vs low USD 1,787/oz). Some reports that have been gaining focus - US-listed Palantir has bought USD 50.7mln in gold bars and will be accepting payment in gold as the firm prepares for a \"black swan event\". Turning to base metals, LME copper is flat within a tight range amid a lack of catalysts. Elsewhere, Dalian iron ore future and Shanghai rebar futures again saw a session of hefty losses, with some traders citing steel producers re-selling iron ore bought under longer term contracts to miners after China cut its steel output target. Further, China's Dalian commodity exchange is to increase speculative margin requirements for September coke futures to 20%, as of the August 20th settlement.</p>\n<p><b>US Event Calendar</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>7am: Aug.

Indeed, recent weeks have shown that even among those countries with a relatively good track record on containing the virus, a number have had to deal with repeated flareups, which suggests that there could be sustained disruption in the coming months, particularly as the northern hemisphere winter begins and people spend more time indoors where respiratory viruses spread more easily. New Zealand is just the latest example of this (more on which below), but separate surges in Australia and China of late have also magnified fears of a potential growth slowdown. And even in the US, which hasn’t been following an elimination strategy, they’ve moved from a situation in June where cases were rising at the slowest rate since March 2020, to now where they’re experiencing the most fastest increase in over 6 months.</p>\n<p>Amidst these jitters, the S&amp;P 500 (-0.71%) fell back from its all-time high the previous day, with cyclicals leading the declines as part of a broad risk-off move. In this recent low-volatility market, that was actually the largest single-day drop for the S&amp;P since July 19, which roughly erases the gains of the past three sessions. Given the delta concerns, some of the more Covid-sensitive assets were among the biggest underperformers, with the S&amp;P 500 airlines index falling -2.68% yesterday in its 4th consecutive move lower. That leaves it -23.7% down from its closing high in April, back when there was far more optimism about a return to normality later in the year given the vaccine rollout. And other US indices fared badly as well, including the NASDAQ (-0.93%) and the small-cap Russell 2000 (-1.19%). Meanwhile on the earnings front, Home Depot (-4.27%) saw the largest decline in the Dow Jones after weaker-than-expected results, though Walmart (-0.03%) was “just” flat even after the company raised their full-year outlook.</p>\n<p>The decline in risk appetite was reflected in other asset classes too, with oil prices continuing to fall as delta fears saw increasing questions being asked the strength of economic demand over the coming months. By the close, Brent Crude (-0.69%) and WTI (-1.04%) had both posted their 4th successive losses for the first time since March, and other cyclical commodities like copper (-2.80%) witnessed similar downward pressure. One exception to this were European equities, which were a bit more resilient having closed before the later selloff, and the STOXX 600 was up +0.07% by the close. That said, this masked a sharp regional divergence as southern European assets struggled in particular, with Italy’s FTSE MIB (-0.85%) and Spain’s IBEX 35 (-0.68%) both moving lower, just as the spread of Italian (+1.1bps) and Spanish (+0.8bps) 10yr yields over bunds widened for a 3rd day running.</p>\n<p>Overnight, one of the big pieces of news has come from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, who maintained their Official Cash Rate at 0.25 per cent given the imposition of a nationwide lockdown. That lockdown was confirmed shortly after we went to press yesterday, and follows the discovery of the first community case for New Zealand since February. In response, the New Zealand dollar fell sharply, with the currency experiencing the worst performance in the G10 yesterday (-1.44% vs USD), although it’s recovered +0.28% this morning after RBNZ projections pointed to them still hiking rates at least once this year. Nevertheless, it was also confirmed last night that there were a further 6 cases on top of that, which raises the prospect of a further extension to the lockdown as New Zealand seeks to maintain its Covid elimination strategy. Meanwhile in Australia, which is dealing with its own surge, New South Wales recorded a record 633 new cases yesterday.</p>\n<p>Elsewhere in Asia overnight, the risk-off sentiment has eased up this morning with the Nikkei (+0.74%) and the Hang Seng (+0.75%) on track to end a run of 4 successive declines, the Shanghai Comp (+0.67%) poised to end a run of 5 declines, and the Kospi (+0.92%) looking to end a run of 8 declines. Elsewhere, futures on the S&amp;P 500 are up +0.10%.</p>\n<p>Back to yesterday, safe havens were once again one of the few winners given current conditions, with the US Dollar index (+0.54%) climbing to its highest level since late March, even as yields on 10yr US Treasuries were mostly unchanged (-0.3bps) at 1.262%, as were those on 10yr bunds (-0.2bps). We did hear from Fed Chair Powell in a town hall discussion with educators, but he said very little of relevance to investors, who are instead focusing on his speech at the Jackson Hole symposium next week.</p>\n<p>In terms of the latest on the pandemic, New Zealand has been a major focus over the last 24 hours as mentioned, and the latest lockdown will see schools and most businesses closed over this period. In the US meanwhile, Reuters reported that the government is planning to extend mask mandates for travellers on airplanes, trains, and buses through January 18 at the earliest. Separately on the US, we’re expecting to hear from President Biden today on booster shots at 4:30pm ET, with the New York Times reporting that the recommendation will be that vaccinated individuals get a booster shot 8 months after their second dose. This would mean that some of the elderly and at-risk who were first vaccinated would be eligible as soon as next month.</p>\n<p>On the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan, NATO chief Stoltenberg said the US, UK, Turkey, Norway, and other allies are working to securing Kabul airport and continue evacuations. The US announced they are aiming for a flight every hour, eventually hoping to fly 5-9k people out of the country per day, and that the operation could continue for a few weeks. That came as the Washington Post reported that the Biden administration had frozen Afghan government reserves in US bank accounts.</p>\n<p>Looking at yesterday’s data, there was a mixed bag of releases from the US that did little to clarify the outlook ahead Jackson Hole symposium. On the one hand, retail sales fell by -1.1% in July (vs. -0.3% expected), but industrial production was more resilient with growth of +0.9% (vs. +0.5% expected). Separately, the NAHB housing market index for August unexpectedly fell to 75 (vs. 80 expected). That’s its lowest level in over a year, though for context that still leaves it some way above its pre-pandemic levels.</p>\n<p>There was more positive news on the UK labour market however, where the unemployment rate in the 3 months to June unexpectedly fell to 4.7% (vs. 4.8% expected). The report also showed that the number of payrolled employees was up +182k in July, marking the 8th consecutive increase, while the number of job vacancies in the three months to July rose to a record high of 953k. That leaves the focus on this morning’s CPI report, which follows the last couple of releases both surprising to the upside.</p>\n<p>To the day ahead now, and the main highlight will likely be the release of the FOMC minutes from the July meeting, while St. Louis Fed President Bullard will also be speaking. On the data side, there’s also US housing starts and building permits for July, along with the UK and Canadian CPI readings for that month. Finally, earnings releases include Nvidia, Cisco, Lowe’s, Target and TJX.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Futures Dip As Traders Await Fed Minutes</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nFutures Dip As Traders Await Fed Minutes\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-18 21:20 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/futures-dip-traders-await-fed-minutes><strong>zerohedge</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>US equity futures and global markets were flat in listless trading as investors assessed the outlook for economic recovery and awaited the latest Federal Reserve minutes to gauge the direction of ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/futures-dip-traders-await-fed-minutes\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite","SPY":"标普500ETF",".DJI":"道琼斯",".SPX":"S&P 500 Index"},"source_url":"https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/futures-dip-traders-await-fed-minutes","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1197230007","content_text":"US equity futures and global markets were flat in listless trading as investors assessed the outlook for economic recovery and awaited the latest Federal Reserve minutes to gauge the direction of monetary policy while tracking the latest covid lockdown in New Zealand and on edge ahead of possible turbulence in Friday's OpEx. Overnight the MSCI Asia Pacific Index added 0.4% while Japan’s Topix index closed 0.4% higher. In Europe the Stoxx 600 Index was broadly unchanged. S&P 500 futures pointed to a small move lower at the open, the 10-year Treasury yield was at 1.277%, oil rose and gold moved higher, while cryptos rebounded from a late Tuesday selloff.\nViacom CBS advanced 1.9% in premarket New York trading after Wells Fargo Securities raised the stock to overweight from equal weight, citing the media company’s success with streaming-video services. Targets slumped more than 3% in premarket trading despite posting stronger than expected results as sales growth moderated after the pandemic boom. Here are some of the other biggest U.S. movers today:\n\n\nTD Holdings (GLG) shares soar 38% following the China-based company’s second quarter results, where revenue surged 2,981% y/y to $59.84 million.\nTilray (TLRY) shares rise 6.7% with Cantor Fitzgerald saying its deal to buy a majority position in senior secured convertible bonds issued by MedMen “adds credence” to its U.S. growth aims.\nVirpax Pharmaceuticals (VRPX) rallies 63% in premarket trading, extending Tuesday’s surge after the firm said it received a pre-investigational new drug response from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for an antiviral barrier product.\nWeibo Corp. (WB) shares rise 5.6% in U.S. premarket trading after the Chinese social media platform reported second- quarter results that topped estimates.\n\nA sense of caution was visible in markets notes Bloomberg, with most assets posting small moves, amid the growing spread of the delta virus variant, the prospect of reduced stimulus support and elevated inflation. While the Fed minutes Wednesday may give some clues about the timeline for tapering stimulus, the next catalyst for markets may not come before the central bank’s Aug. 26-28 conference at Jackson Hole, Wyoming.\n“Investors are trying to balance the reopening of economies as vaccination rates go up, but also seeing the effects of the spreading Delta variant and that’s being reflected in the slowing economic data most of which has been surprising on the downside in the last two weeks,” said Kerry Craig, global market strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management.\nIn a town hall meeting Tuesday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell flagged that the pandemic is “still casting a shadow on economic activity” but didn’t discuss the outlook for monetary policy or specifics on growth and the risks from the delta variant.\n“The market remains cautious,” Mizuho strategist Peter Chatwell wrote in a note. Unless Fed minutes “reveal something substantively different from recent source stories, the market is unlikely to react significantly, and choppy trading may continue.”\nToday Investors will scan the Fed minutes due 2pm ET for further clues on when the bank might start tapering its bond purchases. “To see a successful taper in the next few months, we need to see more of those strong job prints,” said John Luke Tyner, fixed income analyst and portfolio manager at Aptus Capital Advisors.“I don’t see the Fed backing out of support yet, I think we need to see the unemployment rate fall below 5%.”\nEuropean shares rebounded from an early weakness, and edged up with the benchmark STOXX index rising 0.05%. The Euro Stoxx 50 is 0.2% lower, FTSE 100 and CAC lag peers at the margin. Miners, autos and retail names weigh; utilities and health care are the strongest sectors. European utilities stocks outperform, buoyed by gains for Fortum and Verbund with gas prices edging higher, bullishness on the outlook for carbon prices in Europe and a PT raise for the Finnish company. Stoxx 600 Utilities index up as much as 0.9%, touching the highest since April 23; benchmark index little changed. Here are some of the biggest European movers today:\n\nAlcon shares rise as much as 11%, the most intraday since March 2020, to hit a record high. The eye-care products maker’s 2Q results and raised guidance should be taken positively, with an upbeat read on the recovery in surgical procedures, analysts say.\nTecan shares rise as much as 6.8% to a record after the Swiss laboratory-equipment maker posted 1H results that Vontobel says “clearly” beat expectations.\nFuture shares rise as much as 5.3% as Berenberg (buy) says the media company remains a “top pick,” with multiple synergy opportunities and upside potential. Broker increases price target to a Street high.\nNel gains as much as 5.4% after entering partnership with SFC Energy.\nZur Rose fell as much as 7.6% after 1H results as analysts note widened losses as the company steps up marketing and gets ready for the German e-prescriptions system.\nAmbu drops as much as 5.2% as the medtech maker gets downgrades from Nordea and JPMorgan, with both seeing downside to consensus estimates.\n\nEarlier in the session,Asian stocks rebounded, led by cyclicals, after a four-day selloff dragged the regional benchmark to its lowest level in almost eight months.The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose as much as 0.8%, with financials and information technology sectors being the top performers. Chinese tech shares gave up gains after bouncing back following a five-day rout while a gauge of Southeast Asian equities jumped the most in about a month.  Wednesday’s respite comes after the MSCI Asia Pacific Index slumped 1.3% in the previous session to close at its lowest level since Dec. 28. Investors are assessing the economic impact from the spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus while also waiting for the release of the latest Federal Reserve minutes.\n\"Fed minutes due later tonight should show further indications that the Fed is leaning towards taper by the end of the year,\"Eugene Leow, a strategist at DBS Bank in Singapore, wrote in a note. “We do not think that the delta variant changes the timeline for Fed normalization.” Equity benchmark in the Philippines, dominated by old-economy names, was the biggest gainer amid the broad rally in Asia on Wednesday.\nJapanese equities rose, erasing early losses, as investors looked beyond a well-flagged extension of the latest coronavirus state of emergency. “It’s a technical rebound,” said Masahiro Ichikawa, chief market strategist at Sumitomo Mitsui DS Asset Management. “There is some anticipation that the spread of virus cases could ease with the state of emergency now officially extended and expanded.” Electronics makers were the biggest boost to the Topix, which gained 0.4%. Fast Retailing was the largest contributor to a 0.6% advance in the Nikkei 225, which ended a four-day losing streak. Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga announced measures Tuesday evening that extend the state of emergency to Sept. 12 from its previously scheduled end of Aug. 31, and widen it to 13 prefectures from 6.  Meanwhile, the finance ministry reported Wednesday that the value of Japan’s exports increased 37% in July compared with last year’s depressed level, slowing from a 49% jump in the prior month\nIndia’s benchmark equity index snapped a four-session streak of gains to slip from record highs, led by ICICI Bank.  The S&P BSE Sensex fell 0.3% to 55,629.49 in Mumbai, while the NSE Nifty 50 Index dropped by a similar amount to 16,568.85. Both indexes had climbed to fresh peaks on Tuesday. Out of 30 shares in the Sensex index, 10 rose, while 20 fell. Thirteen of the 19 sector indexes compiled by BSE Ltd. declined, led by a gauge of metal stocks. ICICI Bank Ltd was the biggest drag on both indexes, declining 1.8%.  “We remain cautious on the markets as there is no clear direction over the next move,” said Ajit Mishra, vice president of research at Religare Broking Ltd. “High volatility and profit taking in broader markets are adding to the participants’ worries. We suggest investors to remain selective and prefer investing in defensive sectors such as consumer goods, IT and pharma.”\nIn rates, the yield on benchmark 10-year Treasury notes rose to 1.2767% compared to its U.S. close of 1.258% on Tuesday. Germany’s 10-year yield, the benchmark for the euro area, was down 1 basis point at -0.475% by 0805 GMT, above the lowest in nearly two weeks of -0.501% touched on Tuesday.\nIn FX, the South Korean won led gains among Asian currencies after a six-day hammering prompted the finance ministry to monitor the currency market more closely. The New Zealand dollar recouped losses made after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand delayed a widely expected rise in interest rates as the country was put into a snap COVID-19 lockdown. The kiwi fell to a nine-month low of $0.6868 after the decision although it soon recovered, climbing back to $0.6919, as investors absorbed RBNZ projections showing policymakers still expect to raise rates over coming months.\n“They’ve said no go, because you’ve got COVID and too much uncertainty.Give it a few weeks, let the smoke clear then the tightening cycle is still on the table,” said Imre Speizer, head of NZ strategy at Westpac.\nThe Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index is little changed, faded Asia’s modest strength. SEK and GBP top the G-10 scoreboard, NZD lags although ranges are small. The euro touched a fresh year-to-date low earlier before reversing its losses; sentiment in options suggests a breach of the $1.17 handle is probable. The pound drifted in a narrow range after U.K. inflation eased in July. It’s the first time in four months that inflation rose less than economists had expected. Aussie steadied after yesterday’s loss; iron ore extended its rout as BHP Group warned it sees an increasing likelihood of “stern cuts” to China’s steel output this year.\nIn commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude rose above $67 per barrel after the American Petroleum Institute’s report that inventories fell last week outweighed concern over the impact of the pandemic on demand leading to four days of straight declines. Brent trades near $69.50. Spot gold trades a narrow range, holding in the green near $1,787/oz. Base metals are in the red with LME lead and aluminum under-performing.\nBitcoin advanced after two days of losses and traded around $45,500 apiece.\nLooking at the day ahead now, the main highlight will likely be the release of the FOMC minutes from the July meeting, while St. Louis Fed President Bullard will also be speaking. On the data side, there’s also US housing starts and building permits for July, along with the UK and Canadian CPI readings for that month. Finally, earnings releases include Nvidia, Cisco, Lowe’s, Target and TJX.\nMarket Wrap\n\nS&P 500 futures down 0.1% to 4,437.25\nSTOXX Europe 600 little changed at 473.73\nMXAP up 0.4% to 196.54\nMXAPJ up 0.5% to 644.48\nNikkei up 0.6% to 27,585.91\nTopix up 0.4% to 1,923.97\nHang Seng Index up 0.5% to 25,867.01\nShanghai Composite up 1.1% to 3,485.29\nSensex down 0.2% to 55,657.43\nAustralia S&P/ASX 200 down 0.1% to 7,502.15\nKospi up 0.5% to 3,158.93\nBrent Futures up 0.5% to $69.40/bbl\nGold spot up 0.1% to $1,787.22\nU.S. Dollar Index little changed at 93.07\nGerman 10Y yield rose 1.5 bps to -0.478%\nEuro little changed at $1.1719\n\nTop Overnight News from Bloomberg\n\nNew Zealand’s central bank refrained from raising interest rates during a coronavirus outbreak and nationwide lockdown, but signaled it intends to start tightening monetary policy soon.\nNew Zealand found six additional cases of Covid-19 as it began a nationwide lockdown, all connected to a single delta infection discovered Tuesday with a link to an outbreak in Australia.

Upside in Asia was limited as participants digested a plethora of earnings releases. ASX 200 (-0.1%) was indecisive with outperformance in utilities and financials offset by losses in the mining-related sectors, while there was an abundance of earnings releases including BHP and Woodside Petroleum although their shares failed to benefit despite printing firmer results and the announcement a petroleum merger, with the headwinds due to weakness in underlying commodity prices. NZX 50 (+0.7%) was underpinned after the RBNZ surprisingly kept rates unchanged at 0.25% in which it cited the lockdown and uncertainty for its decision to refrain from a lift-off, while Nikkei 225 (+0.6%) gradually strengthened despite the initially choppy mood which was at the whim of the domestic currency and after mixed machinery orders and trade data. Hang Seng (+0.5%) and Shanghai Comp. (+1.1%) conformed to the mild positive bias with focus shifting to incoming earnings including Tencent which are due later today, while reports also noted that China vowed to increase the proportion of the middle-income group and is said to be seeking to raise rural consumption to as much as CNY 10tln. Finally, 10yr JGBs were lacklustre amid mixed data from Japan and with demand sapped after risk sentiment in Tokyo gradually improved, but with downside also stemmed given the BoJ’s presence in the market for over JPY 1.3tln of JGBs with 1yr-10yr maturities.\nTop Asian News\n\nJapan’s Faster Vaccine Rollout is Good News for the Economy\nJapan Cancels F1 Grand Prix for Second Year in a Row\nTaliban Ring Kabul Airport With Checkpoints: Afghanistan Update\nKorean Firm Moves With IPO to Fund Eco-friendly Ships: ECM Watch\n\nEuropean equities (Eurostoxx 50 -0.3%) trade with a mild negative bias as gains in the futures markets faded ahead of the cash open. Hopes had been for a firmer start to the session given the more upbeat tone seen in Asia-Pac bourses, however, a lack of fresh macro impulses from a European perspective saw enthusiasm wane amid holiday-thinned conditions. Stateside, futures are hugging the unchanged mark as investors await minutes from the FOMC’s July announcement and pre-market earnings from US retailer Target while Lowe's beat on top and bottom lines alongside raising FY21 guidance. Sectoral performance in Europe is relatively mixed with modest outperformance in Real Estate and Travel & Leisure names. Basic Resources lag peers as BHP gives back some of yesterday’s earnings-inspired gains with the Co. facing criticism over its decision to abandon its FTSE 100 listing in favour of Sydney. Individual movers are somewhat sparse as the region heads out of earnings season. That said, results from Alcon (+11.0%) and a subsequent guidance raise have sent their shares to the top of the Stoxx 600. Carlsberg (+2.8%) is also gaining post-earnings with the Co. increasing guidance and announcing a share buyback following a recovery in beer volumes. To the downside, Persimmon (-2.5%) sit near the foot of the FTSE 100 despite noting that current forward sales are up around 9% from pre-pandemic levels.\nTop European News\n\nWorld’s No. 1 Wealth Fund Makes $110 Billion as Stocks Soar\nTesla Wins Volkswagen’s Support in Push for India EV Tax Cut\nCarlsberg Raises Earnings Forecast Again as Bars Reopen\nPhilip Morris Buys 22.61% of Vectura’s Shares on the Market\n\nIn FX,the Sterling has pushed forward past its G10 peers with no clear catalyst behind the rise. UK CPI metrics fell short of expectations for July across the board with clothing and footwear, and a variety of recreational goods and services made the largest downward contributions, whilst the upside was led by rises in second hand vehicles. Pre-data, desks flagged a cooling of inflation as a by-product of the base effects from 2020 - with the August report expected to mark a pickup in inflation. GBP/USD rebounded from its current 1.3729 base back above 1.3750 ahead of its 200DMA at 1.3778. EUR/USD trades just north of 1.1700 having tested the level to the downside in the early hours, with technicians flagging 1.1695 as the next support point (38.2% fib of the 2020-21 move), a dip below that opens the door to 1.1688 (16th Oct low) ahead of the psychological 1.1650. The pair was unmoved by unrevised EZ CPI metrics across the board.\n\nDXY - The Buck is on a mildly softer footing as risk sentiment is seemingly more constructive than it had been earlier this week - with some desks also noting of a reversal in the crowded long USD. The Fed Chair kept his cards close to his chest during yesterday's appearance and ahead of tonight's FOMC minutes (full preview available in the Newsquawk research suite). DXY threatens a breach of 93.000 at the time of writing having had waned from its earlier 93.150 high, whilst the next point of support is still some way off at yesterday's 92.611 low.\nNZD, AUD, CAD - The non-US Dollars resided near the top of the G10 bunch in early European trade with mild gains but then lost the top spots to the EUR and GBP. Overnight, the RBNZ opted for a hawkish hold in its OCR vs dwindling expectations for a 25bps hike heading into the confab. The central bank's stance is being framed as hawkish nonetheless as it remains on a course towards removing monetary stimulus given the backdrop of strong economic data, with this decision merely a \"pause\" in the face of a COVID threat, whilst banks suggest that lockdown downfalls can be addressed by fiscal policy. NZD/USD saw a knee-jerk lower to a new YTD low (0.6868) upon the surprise hold but immediately retraced it and reclaimed a 0.6900 handle as the rate path saw sizeable upgrades across the board. NZD/USD however encounters some mild pressure as US players enter the fray and react to the RBNZ. The AUD/NZD cross similarly fleetingly spiked above 1.0500 to match yesterday's 1.0540 best before relinquishing the level. Meanwhile, AUD/USD traded subdued overnight as base metal prices continued to be impacted by Chinese intervention with the AUD/USD pair around the 0.7250 mark within a narrow 0.740-69 range. Elsewhere, the Loonie looks ahead to its inflation figures later in the session with the USD/CAD pair just north of 1.2600 but off the 1.2640 overnight high. Analysts at SocGen suggest that the pair above its 200 DMA (1.2560) opens the door for a rise closer towards 1.3000 - with the CAD-WTI correlation also strengthening over the past month to 0.5 from 0.25.\nJPY, CHF - The traditional safe-havens are flat with not much to report as traders look for the next catalyst. USD/JPY found support at 109.50 and just about eclipsed its 100 DMA at 109.65, with the 50 DMA then seen at 110.15. USD/CHF is sandwiched between its 50 and 100 DMA at 0.9148 and 0.9124 respectively.\n\nIn commodities,WTI and Brent front-month futures are on a mildly firmer footing, with the former around USD 67/bbl (vs low USD 66.42/bbl) and the latter around USD 69.50/bbl (vs low USD USD 68.90/bbl). However, in the grander scheme, prices are consolidating amid a lack of catalysts ahead of the FOMC policy decision. Last night's inventory report turned out to be mildly bullish but participants await confirmation from the EIA metrics later, with the headline seen drawing 1.055mln bbls. Another development to keep on the radar - India has begun selling oil from strategic reserves after a policy shift and as part of a plan to commercialise its storage and lease space. Meanwhile, spot gold and silver are overall little changed ahead of the FOMC minutes, with the former hitting interim resistance at USD 1,794/oz (vs low USD 1,787/oz). Some reports that have been gaining focus - US-listed Palantir has bought USD 50.7mln in gold bars and will be accepting payment in gold as the firm prepares for a \"black swan event\". Turning to base metals, LME copper is flat within a tight range amid a lack of catalysts. Elsewhere, Dalian iron ore future and Shanghai rebar futures again saw a session of hefty losses, with some traders citing steel producers re-selling iron ore bought under longer term contracts to miners after China cut its steel output target. Further, China's Dalian commodity exchange is to increase speculative margin requirements for September coke futures to 20%, as of the August 20th settlement.\nUS Event Calendar\n\n7am: Aug.

Indeed, recent weeks have shown that even among those countries with a relatively good track record on containing the virus, a number have had to deal with repeated flareups, which suggests that there could be sustained disruption in the coming months, particularly as the northern hemisphere winter begins and people spend more time indoors where respiratory viruses spread more easily. New Zealand is just the latest example of this (more on which below), but separate surges in Australia and China of late have also magnified fears of a potential growth slowdown. And even in the US, which hasn’t been following an elimination strategy, they’ve moved from a situation in June where cases were rising at the slowest rate since March 2020, to now where they’re experiencing the most fastest increase in over 6 months.\nAmidst these jitters, the S&P 500 (-0.71%) fell back from its all-time high the previous day, with cyclicals leading the declines as part of a broad risk-off move. In this recent low-volatility market, that was actually the largest single-day drop for the S&P since July 19, which roughly erases the gains of the past three sessions. Given the delta concerns, some of the more Covid-sensitive assets were among the biggest underperformers, with the S&P 500 airlines index falling -2.68% yesterday in its 4th consecutive move lower. That leaves it -23.7% down from its closing high in April, back when there was far more optimism about a return to normality later in the year given the vaccine rollout. And other US indices fared badly as well, including the NASDAQ (-0.93%) and the small-cap Russell 2000 (-1.19%). Meanwhile on the earnings front, Home Depot (-4.27%) saw the largest decline in the Dow Jones after weaker-than-expected results, though Walmart (-0.03%) was “just” flat even after the company raised their full-year outlook.\nThe decline in risk appetite was reflected in other asset classes too, with oil prices continuing to fall as delta fears saw increasing questions being asked the strength of economic demand over the coming months. By the close, Brent Crude (-0.69%) and WTI (-1.04%) had both posted their 4th successive losses for the first time since March, and other cyclical commodities like copper (-2.80%) witnessed similar downward pressure. One exception to this were European equities, which were a bit more resilient having closed before the later selloff, and the STOXX 600 was up +0.07% by the close. That said, this masked a sharp regional divergence as southern European assets struggled in particular, with Italy’s FTSE MIB (-0.85%) and Spain’s IBEX 35 (-0.68%) both moving lower, just as the spread of Italian (+1.1bps) and Spanish (+0.8bps) 10yr yields over bunds widened for a 3rd day running.\nOvernight, one of the big pieces of news has come from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, who maintained their Official Cash Rate at 0.25 per cent given the imposition of a nationwide lockdown. That lockdown was confirmed shortly after we went to press yesterday, and follows the discovery of the first community case for New Zealand since February. In response, the New Zealand dollar fell sharply, with the currency experiencing the worst performance in the G10 yesterday (-1.44% vs USD), although it’s recovered +0.28% this morning after RBNZ projections pointed to them still hiking rates at least once this year. Nevertheless, it was also confirmed last night that there were a further 6 cases on top of that, which raises the prospect of a further extension to the lockdown as New Zealand seeks to maintain its Covid elimination strategy. Meanwhile in Australia, which is dealing with its own surge, New South Wales recorded a record 633 new cases yesterday.\nElsewhere in Asia overnight, the risk-off sentiment has eased up this morning with the Nikkei (+0.74%) and the Hang Seng (+0.75%) on track to end a run of 4 successive declines, the Shanghai Comp (+0.67%) poised to end a run of 5 declines, and the Kospi (+0.92%) looking to end a run of 8 declines. Elsewhere, futures on the S&P 500 are up +0.10%.\nBack to yesterday, safe havens were once again one of the few winners given current conditions, with the US Dollar index (+0.54%) climbing to its highest level since late March, even as yields on 10yr US Treasuries were mostly unchanged (-0.3bps) at 1.262%, as were those on 10yr bunds (-0.2bps). We did hear from Fed Chair Powell in a town hall discussion with educators, but he said very little of relevance to investors, who are instead focusing on his speech at the Jackson Hole symposium next week.\nIn terms of the latest on the pandemic, New Zealand has been a major focus over the last 24 hours as mentioned, and the latest lockdown will see schools and most businesses closed over this period. In the US meanwhile, Reuters reported that the government is planning to extend mask mandates for travellers on airplanes, trains, and buses through January 18 at the earliest. Separately on the US, we’re expecting to hear from President Biden today on booster shots at 4:30pm ET, with the New York Times reporting that the recommendation will be that vaccinated individuals get a booster shot 8 months after their second dose. This would mean that some of the elderly and at-risk who were first vaccinated would be eligible as soon as next month.\nOn the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan, NATO chief Stoltenberg said the US, UK, Turkey, Norway, and other allies are working to securing Kabul airport and continue evacuations. The US announced they are aiming for a flight every hour, eventually hoping to fly 5-9k people out of the country per day, and that the operation could continue for a few weeks. That came as the Washington Post reported that the Biden administration had frozen Afghan government reserves in US bank accounts.\nLooking at yesterday’s data, there was a mixed bag of releases from the US that did little to clarify the outlook ahead Jackson Hole symposium. On the one hand, retail sales fell by -1.1% in July (vs. -0.3% expected), but industrial production was more resilient with growth of +0.9% (vs. +0.5% expected). Separately, the NAHB housing market index for August unexpectedly fell to 75 (vs. 80 expected). That’s its lowest level in over a year, though for context that still leaves it some way above its pre-pandemic levels.\nThere was more positive news on the UK labour market however, where the unemployment rate in the 3 months to June unexpectedly fell to 4.7% (vs. 4.8% expected). The report also showed that the number of payrolled employees was up +182k in July, marking the 8th consecutive increase, while the number of job vacancies in the three months to July rose to a record high of 953k. That leaves the focus on this morning’s CPI report, which follows the last couple of releases both surprising to the upside.\nTo the day ahead now, and the main highlight will likely be the release of the FOMC minutes from the July meeting, while St. Louis Fed President Bullard will also be speaking. On the data side, there’s also US housing starts and building permits for July, along with the UK and Canadian CPI readings for that month. Finally, earnings releases include Nvidia, Cisco, Lowe’s, Target and TJX.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":343,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":831103850,"gmtCreate":1629293376270,"gmtModify":1676529993761,"author":{"id":"3575954804845795","authorId":"3575954804845795","authorIdStr":"3575954804845795","name":"carjang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/732d4ecea777f9244e2d24307b0c180f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575954804845795"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment please&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment please&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment please","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1550b115c683425ed9f043b03ea11db3","width":"1125","height":"3040"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/831103850","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":145,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":158856045,"gmtCreate":1625145756187,"gmtModify":1703737055964,"author":{"id":"3575954804845795","authorId":"3575954804845795","authorIdStr":"3575954804845795","name":"carjang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/732d4ecea777f9244e2d24307b0c180f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575954804845795"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment please&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment please&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/158856045","repostId":"1131385251","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":122,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":832856078,"gmtCreate":1629609993894,"gmtModify":1676530079544,"author":{"id":"3575954804845795","authorId":"3575954804845795","authorIdStr":"3575954804845795","name":"carjang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/732d4ecea777f9244e2d24307b0c180f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575954804845795"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment please&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment please&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":11,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/832856078","repostId":"1133515985","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":112,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"4089284882528110","authorId":"4089284882528110","authorIdStr":"4089284882528110","name":"Blurrrrry","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4089284882528110"},"content":"Please Comment And like back","text":"Please Comment And like back","html":"Please Comment And like back"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":348650108,"gmtCreate":1617927568404,"gmtModify":1704704859793,"author":{"id":"3575954804845795","authorId":"3575954804845795","authorIdStr":"3575954804845795","name":"carjang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/732d4ecea777f9244e2d24307b0c180f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575954804845795"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment","listText":"Like and comment","text":"Like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/348650108","repostId":"1180051316","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1180051316","pubTimestamp":1617926233,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1180051316?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-09 07:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Stock market cage match: Traders on whether Apple or Microsoft is the better buy","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1180051316","media":"cnbc","summary":"It’s a battle royal between the two largestS&P 500stocks.In one corner of the ring,Microsoftkeeps hi","content":"<div>\n<p>It’s a battle royal between the two largestS&P 500stocks.In one corner of the ring,Microsoftkeeps hitting records;

in the other,Applehas not reached a new high since January.CNBC’s “Trading Nation” asked two traders which is the better bet: the champion Microsoft or recent underdog Apple?“It depends on what you value more. Do you value … catch-up or do you value long-term growth?” Gina Sanchez, CEO of Chantico Global and chief market strategist at Lido Advisors, said Thursday.Apple’s comeback from the pandemic lows has slowed since January. While up 100% from a 52-week low, it has fallen 10% from its Jan. 25 high. The shares are down nearly 2% this year even as theXLK tech ETFhas gained 8%.“Now if you look at just pure valuation, believe it or not, Microsoft is actually not trading at as high a premium as Apple is, so even though Apple is absolutely cheaper, Microsoft is actually cheaper relative to its own history,” she said.Sanchez said Microsoft is trading around 20% above its long-term valuations, high but justified given her outlook for its sales growth trends.JC O’Hara, chief market technician at MKM Partners, said Microsoft looks to be the stronger contender here. However, that’s not the name he’s betting on.“When you look at Apple and you look at Microsoft, they both trade with such a high degree of positive correlation between their price action. So what that makes me think here is that Apple could be the best trade to buy right now,” O’Hara said during the same interview.Just as Microsoft last week began to break out to new highs, O’Hara predicts Apple will do likewise soon.“If Apple starts to build momentum and break new highs, a lot more eyes are going to be watching this stock, so we’re not buying leadership, we’re buying a laggard, we’re buying something that’s slowly starting to improve,” he said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":131,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":146290835,"gmtCreate":1626080510227,"gmtModify":1703752927827,"author":{"id":"3575954804845795","authorId":"3575954804845795","authorIdStr":"3575954804845795","name":"carjang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/732d4ecea777f9244e2d24307b0c180f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575954804845795"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment please&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment please&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/146290835","repostId":"1114863871","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1114863871","pubTimestamp":1626039626,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1114863871?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-12 05:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Chase, Delta, Goldman Sachs, PepsiCo, and Other Stocks to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1114863871","media":"Barron's","summary":"Second-quarter earnings season gets under way this week, with several big banks reporting.

An increasing need for EVcharging technologyis set to benefit a raft of global stocks, according to the bank, including semiconductor and Big Oil companies, as well as auto suppliers.\nBank of America analysts led by Harry Wyburd flagged a rapid rise in ownership of electric vehicles, with EVs on Europe’s roads up 100% since pre-Covid.\nIn a research note published last week, they wrote: “Our updated charger forecasts see c. [circa] $80bn of potential charging infrastructure investment by 2040E [estimate].”\nThe bank estimates there are currently around nine public charging points per 100 electric vehicles in Europe and expects the number to rise as more of the cars hit the road. BofA also expects “significant” growth in home charging points, with around 60 million electric connectors by 2030.\nBofA’s stock picks include:\nSemiconductors\n“We estimate that power semiconductor demand related to charger deployments in Europe can increase from low tens of millions of US dollars per annum to c$50m per annum by 2025 and c$100m per annum by 2030,” the analysts stated, pickingInfineonandSTMicroas beneficiaries of this.\nOil majors\nBig Oil can create “significant value” from “shifting their equity story to Big Energy,” with more of a focus on decarbonization, according to BofA. Its analysts noted the shift was becoming more urgent for these companies, given shareholder pressure and the Hague District Court’sdemands for Shellto meet climate targets set out in the Paris Agreement.\nThe analysts pickedBP,ShellandTotaland said: “We believe EV charging will grow in importance in linking Big Oil’s existing Marketing footprints (including global brand recognition and backing from their commodity trading desks) with Big Oils’ expansion into electricity supply.”\nAuto suppliers\nValeomakes parts for EVs of all sizes as well as a range of charging components for the likes ofVWand Mercedes. It is buy-rated by BofA, which noted that its joint venture withSiemensnow has around a 40% market share of the high voltage charging sector.\nMetals and mining\nCopper producerAntofagastaand minerBolidenare buy-rated picks for BofA, with copper likely to be a key part of EV chargers as well as inside the vehicle. “New technologies such as renewables, energy storage and electric vehicles that are gaining traction have one thing in common: they require a set of commodities we define as MIFTs, or metals important for future technologies,” BofA’s analysts wrote.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":61,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":896290917,"gmtCreate":1628583080539,"gmtModify":1703508526964,"author":{"id":"3575954804845795","authorId":"3575954804845795","authorIdStr":"3575954804845795","name":"carjang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/732d4ecea777f9244e2d24307b0c180f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575954804845795"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment please","listText":"Like and comment please","text":"Like and comment please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/896290917","repostId":"1127196790","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1127196790","pubTimestamp":1628558583,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1127196790?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-10 09:23","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"20 stocks for maximum growth as the world switches to clean energy","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1127196790","media":"Market Wacth","summary":"A landmark U.N. climate report is urging policy makers to reduce carbon output.

The S&P 500 declined 0.4% to 4,192.85 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 1% to 13,614.51.The benchmark S&P 500 sits about 1% from its all-time high reached earlier last month, but it has been stuck around these levels for about the last two weeks. The S&P 500 is up more than 11% this year so far.Merck and Dow Inc. were the two best performers in the 30-stock benchmark, both rising more than 2%. Consumer staples and utilities were the biggest gainers among 11 S&P 500 sectors, while consumer discretionary and tech weighed on the broader market, falling 1.2% and 0.9%, respectively.Shares of General Motors climbed nearly 6.4% after the company said it expects its results for the first half of 2021 to be “significantly better” than its prior guidance.On the data front, private job growth for May accelerated at its fastest pace in nearly a year as companies hired nearly a million workers, according to a report Thursday from payroll processing firm ADP.Total hires came to 978,000 for the month, a big jump from April’s 654,000 and the largest gain since June 2020. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for 680,000.Meanwhile,first-time claims for unemployment benefitsfor the week ended May 29 totaled 385,000, versus a Dow Jones estimate of 393,000. It also marked the first time that jobless claims fell below 400,000 since the early days of the pandemic.“With ADP knocking it out of the park, and jobless claims breaking that 400k barrier—a pandemic low—all eyes will be on the larger jobs picture tomorrow,” said Mike Loewengart, a managing director at E-Trade. “With seemingly all systems go on the jobs front, the economy is flashing some very real signs that this isn’t just a comeback—expansion mode could be on the horizon.”The market may be on hold before the release of the jobs report Friday, which is likely to show an additional 671,000 nonfarm payrolls in May, according to economists polled by Dow Jones. The economy added 266,000 jobs in April.Investors continued to monitor the wild action in meme stocks, particularly theater chain AMC Entertainment. The stock tumbled as much as 30% after practically doubling in the prior session, but shares cut losses after movie theater chain said it completed a stock offering launched just hours ago,raising $587 million.The stock ended the day about 18% lower.Other meme stocks also came under pressure Thursday. Bed Bath & Beyond fell more than 27%. The SoFi Social 50 ETF (SFYF), which tracks the top 50 most widely held U.S. listed stocks on SoFi’s retail brokerage platform, tumbled more than 6%.Reminiscent of what occurred earlier this year, retail traders rallying together on Reddit triggered a short squeeze in AMC earlier this week. On Wednesday, short-sellers betting against the stock lost $2.8 billion as the shares surged, according to S3 Partners. That brings their year-to-date losses to more than $5 billion, according to S3. Short sellers are forced to buy back the stock to cut their losses when it keeps rallying like this.The meme stock bubble in GameStop earlier this year weighed on the market a bit as investors worried it meant too much speculative activity was in the stock market. As losses in hedge funds betting against the stock mounted, worries increased about a pullback in risk-taking across Wall Street that could hit the overall market. AMC’s latest surge did not appear to be causing similar concerns so far.Here are company's financial statementsSlack tops Q1 expectations, ends quarter with 169,000 total paid customersLululemon first-quarter sales rise 88%, topping estimates, as store traffic reboundsCrowdStrike stock rises as earnings, outlook top Street viewDocuSign stock pops on earnings, outlook beat","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":147,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":805783797,"gmtCreate":1627906964019,"gmtModify":1703497593892,"author":{"id":"3575954804845795","authorId":"3575954804845795","authorIdStr":"3575954804845795","name":"carjang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/732d4ecea777f9244e2d24307b0c180f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575954804845795"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment please&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment please&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/805783797","repostId":"1191057621","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1191057621","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1627905199,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1191057621?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-02 19:53","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Toplines Before US Market Open on Monday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1191057621","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Futures rise amid earnings optimism; Dollar dips.\nSquare, Moderna, First Solar and more made the big","content":"<ul>\n <li>Futures rise amid earnings optimism; Dollar dips.</li>\n <li>Square, Moderna, First Solar and more made the biggest moves in the premarket.</li>\n <li>Treasuries steady; crude oil declines on China outlook.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>(August&nbsp;2)&nbsp;U.S. index futures gained along with European stocks as upbeat earnings and a surge in corporatedealmakinglifted sentiment, offsetting lingering concerns over China’s regulatory crackdown and the spread of the delta virus variant.</p>\n<p>U.S. S&amp;P 500 E-minis were up 19.5 points, or 0.44%, at 07:52 a.m. ET.

Hence, the index slipped back beneath 92.000 within a 92.174-91.962 band before finding a base and awaiting the final US Markit manufacturing PMI, construction spending and ISM in particular for the survey breakdown and first jobs proxy for Friday’s NFP.\n\nAUD/NZD/EUR/GBP - The Aussie and Kiwi have both regained some composure to pare overnight losses incurred on the back of further COVID restrictions, a Chinese manufacturing PMI miss, technical and cross-related factors. However, Aud/Usd remains heavy above 0.7350 and unlikely to trouble hefty option expiry interest at the 0.7400 strike (1.2 bn) ahead of the RBA tomorrow given expectations that the ongoing pandemic outbreaks could well force the Bank to backtrack on QE tapering plans. Meanwhile, Nzd/Usd is still rotating around the 21 DMA that comes in at 0.6979 today having failed to retain grasp of the 0.7000 handle, and the Euro is back below 1.1900 where 1.4 bn option expiries reside in wake of broadly softer than expected Eurozone manufacturing PMIs, bar Germany’s upgrade. Conversely, Cable is back over 1.3900 and Eur/Gbp is holding under 0.8550 following an unrevised final UK manufacturing PMI in advance of Thursday’s BoE.\nCAD/JPY/CHF - All very narrowly divergent vs the Greenback, and the Loonie holding up well in the face of weakness in WTI crude circa 1.2470, while the Yen is meandering from 109.60-77 in the run up to Tokyo inflation data on Tuesday and the Franc is straddling 0.9055 after in line Swiss CPI, a slowdown in retail sales vs pick up in the manufacturing PMI and weekly sight deposits showing just a small rise on domestic bank balances.\nSCANDI/EM - Contrasting manufacturing PMIs from Sweden and Norway, as the former dipped and latter gathered pace, but the Sek is straddling 10.2100 against the Eur with assistance from the aforementioned pick-up in overall risk appetite, while the Nok wanes within a 10.4910-10.4530 range due to a pull-back in Brent prices from Usd 75+/brl towards Usd 74.00.\n\nIn commodities,WTI and Brent have commenced the week on the backfoot, with the benchmarks lower by USD 1.00/bbl on the session. Such pressure comes in spite of the generally modestly constructive risk tone in a quiet European session with final PMIs not moving the dial much; with attention more on the weeks macro themes as outlined above. In crude specifics, updates have been very sparse throughout the session and as such the complex is more focus on COVID-19 related dynamics. With the demand-side of the equation torn between the ongoing case increases in Tokyo, among other areas, but on the flip-side supported by a push from top UK Cabinet Officials for an easing of travel restrictions and more broadly as NIH’s Fauci now does not believe the US is likely to return to lockdowns. Elsewhere, attention is on the geopolitical front and specifically last week’s attack on a ship off the Oman coast on which the US Secretary of State is confident that Iran is behind this attack. Moving to metals, spot gold and silver are modestly pressured with not too much read across from a choppy USD as we stand and likely on the back of the aforementioned broader risk tone; for reference, the yellow metal still holds the USD 1800/oz mark. Separately, much of the mornings focus is on copper where BHPs Escondida, Chile facility is facing strike action after the union rejected BHPs final labour offer. As such, Government-mediated discussions will last for 5-10 days and if the status quo is maintained and there is no breakthrough then strike action will formally commence. Given the uncertainty, LME Copper is supported on the session albeit still well off the pivotal USD 10k/t mark vs the current high USD 9799/t.\nUS Event Calendar\n\n9:45am: July Markit US Manufacturing PMI, est. 63.1, prior 63.1\n10am: June Construction Spending MoM, est. 0.5%, prior -0.3%\n10am: July ISM Manufacturing, est. 60.9, prior 60.6","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":95,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":802180816,"gmtCreate":1627733048835,"gmtModify":1703495320534,"author":{"id":"3575954804845795","authorId":"3575954804845795","authorIdStr":"3575954804845795","name":"carjang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/732d4ecea777f9244e2d24307b0c180f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575954804845795"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment please","listText":"Like and comment please","text":"Like and comment please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/802180816","repostId":"1154216466","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1154216466","pubTimestamp":1627713678,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1154216466?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-31 14:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Antitrust Activists Want to Go Full Throttle.

Spending is forecast to continue rising despite a drop off in income as stimulus checks finished being sent out in April.\nMonday 6/21\nThe Federal Reserve Bankof Chicago releases its National Activity index, a gauge of overall economic activity, for May. Expectations are for a 0.50 reading, higher than April’s 0.24 figure. A positive reading indicates economic growth that is above historical trends.\nTuesday 6/22\nThe National Associationof Realtors reports existing-home sales for May. Economists forecast a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.7 million homes sold, about 150,000 fewer than the April data.

Expectations are for a 61.5 reading for the Manufacturing PMI, and a 69.8 figure for the Services PMI. Both projections are comparable to the May data as well as being near record highs for their respective indexes.\nThursday 6/24\nThe Bureau of Economic Analysisreports the third and final estimate of first-quarter gross-domestic-product growth.

For the terminal year, I used Beta equal to 1.To calculate the Cost of Debt, I used the interest expense for 2019 and 2020 divided by the debt value for the same years.Here is the model itself:(In high resolution)Source: AuthorThe DCF-based target price of Amazon's shares is $4,280, offering 29% upside.Final thoughtsAmazon is one of the companies whose growth has not yet reached its limit and not even entered the plateau phase. In a sense, this is a startup with $73 billion cash.The fact that Amazon remains in the acceleration phase does not mean that its capitalization is constantly undervalued. But in this case, based on the patterns between the company's capitalization and the parameters of its revenue, we can conclude that the company isundervalued.Comparing Amazon to other companies through the prism of expected EPS growth, it must be admitted that the company ismuch cheaperthan the market.DCF model based on average expectations analysts indicate a 30% undervaluation. At the start of the year, a similarmodelindicated a 20% undervaluation.When you look at Amazon's revenue forecast for the next decade, you realize that the company will face growth problems. But in my opinion,it is better to invest in a company facing growth problems than aging problems.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":154,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":817635523,"gmtCreate":1630939178162,"gmtModify":1676530425134,"author":{"id":"3575954804845795","authorId":"3575954804845795","authorIdStr":"3575954804845795","name":"carjang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/732d4ecea777f9244e2d24307b0c180f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575954804845795"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment please&nbsp;","listText":"Like and comment please&nbsp;","text":"Like and comment please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/817635523","repostId":"1121396906","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":739,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":894264404,"gmtCreate":1628830762108,"gmtModify":1676529868665,"author":{"id":"3575954804845795","authorId":"3575954804845795","authorIdStr":"3575954804845795","name":"carjang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/732d4ecea777f9244e2d24307b0c180f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575954804845795"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment please","listText":"Like and comment please","text":"Like and comment please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/894264404","repostId":"1127554137","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":30,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3578016956086861","authorId":"3578016956086861","authorIdStr":"3578016956086861","name":"JeremyEe","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e4251e60b7916b8816ebb7a4c9bd615c","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3578016956086861"},"content":"like back pls","text":"like back pls","html":"like back pls"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":893978062,"gmtCreate":1628234123156,"gmtModify":1703503660987,"author":{"id":"3575954804845795","authorId":"3575954804845795","authorIdStr":"3575954804845795","name":"carjang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/732d4ecea777f9244e2d24307b0c180f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575954804845795"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment please","listText":"Like and comment please","text":"Like and comment please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/893978062","repostId":"1185532559","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1185532559","pubTimestamp":1628233837,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1185532559?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-08-06 15:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"How Biden’s E.V.

The auction’s proceeds will be donated to Blue Origin’s education-focused nonprofit Club for the Future, which supports kids interested in future STEM careers.\nBlue Origin director of astronaut and orbital sales Ariane Cornell said during the auction webcast that New Shepard’s first passenger flight will carry four people, including Bezos, his brother, the auction winner and a fourth person to be announced later.\nAutonomous spaceflight\nNew Shepard, a rocket that carries a capsule to an altitude of over 340,000 feet, has flown more than a dozen successful test flights without passengers, including one in April at the company’s facility in the Texas desert. It’s designed to carry up to six people and flies autonomously — without needing a pilot. The capsule has massive windows to give passengers a view of the earth below during about three minutes in zero gravity, before returning to Earth.\nBlue Origin’s system launches vertically, and both the rocket and capsule are reusable. The boosters land vertically on a concrete pad at the company’s facility in Van Horn, Texas, while the capsules land using a set of parachutes.\nBezos founded Blue Origin in 2000 and still owns the company, funding it through share sales of his Amazon stock.\nJuly 20 is notable because it also marks the 52nd anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.\nBranson and Musk\nBezos and fellow billionairesElon MuskandSir Richard Bransonarein a race to get to space, but each in different ways.Bezos’ Blue Origin and Branson’sVirgin Galacticare competing to take passengers on short flights to the edge of space, a sector known as suborbital tourism, while Musk’s SpaceX is launching private passengers on further, multi-day flights, in what is known as orbital tourism.\nBoth Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic have been developing rocket-powered spacecraft, but that is where the similarities end. While Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket launches vertically from the ground,Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo system is released mid-air and returns to Earth in a glidefor a runway landing, like an aircraft.\nVirgin Galactic’s system is also flown by two pilots, while Blue Origin’s launches without one.Branson’s company has also flown a test spaceflight with a passenger onboard, although the company has three spaceflight tests remainingbefore it begins flying commercial customers– which is planned to start in 2022.\nSpaceX launches its Crew Dragon spacecraft to orbit atop its reusable Falcon 9 rocket, havingsent 10 astronauts to the International Space Station on three missions to date.\nIn addition to the government flights, Musk’s company is planning to launch multiple private astronaut missions in the year ahead – beginning withthe all-civilian Inspiration4 missionthat is planned for September. SpaceX is also launchingat least four private missions for Axiom Space, starting early next year.\nBlue Origin’s auction may have netted $28 million, but a seat on a suborbital spacecraft is typically much less expensive. Virgin Galactic has historically sold reservations between $200,000 and $250,000 per ticket, and more recently charged the Italian Air Force about $500,000 per ticket for a training spaceflight.\nMusk’s orbital missions are more costly than the suborbital flights, with NASA paying SpaceX about $55 million per seat for spaceflights to the ISS.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":132,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3563607262597606","authorId":"3563607262597606","authorIdStr":"3563607262597606","name":"Shininglight","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3563607262597606"},"content":"done..pls reply thanks","text":"done..pls reply thanks","html":"done..pls reply thanks"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":196142445,"gmtCreate":1621038813687,"gmtModify":1704352226636,"author":{"id":"3575954804845795","authorId":"3575954804845795","authorIdStr":"3575954804845795","name":"carjang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/732d4ecea777f9244e2d24307b0c180f","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3575954804845795"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please comment and like.
