But what we're seeing is, we're just playing goalie. There's an unlimited amount of opportunities to hack us, and no risks or repercussions to those doing the intrusions,\" Mandia said. \"So over time, you're going to see successful intrusions. You know, we can't play successful defense every day.\"\nOutlawing ransomware payments by itself is not an adequate solution, Mandia said, while alluding to the incident involving Colonial Pipeline last month. The companypaid a $5 million ransomafter its IT network was hacked, although U.S. law enforcement was able to recover a chunk of the bitcoin used in that payment.\nGovernment has a crucial role, too, Mandia said.\n\"We have to consider all the tools of diplomacy to back the desired outcome we want, which is quite frankly to make sure that there's risks imposed to those who take advantage of cyberspace and the anonymity it offers,\" he said.\nNot everyone agrees with Mandia's view of a link between cyberattacks and cryptocurrency. Katie Haun, a partner at venture capital firmAndreessen Horowitzwho invests in crypto start-ups,told CNBC last weekshe thinks it's a \"myth that bitcoin is good for criminal activity.\"\n\"The fact of the matter is, you see investigators and prosecutors solving cases where crypto was used as the technology of choice by criminals,\" said Haun, who is also aformer federal prosecutorwho has investigated cyber crimes that involved cryptocurrency.\n\"Crypto is a step-level function improvement above the existing financial system in terms of traceability,\" said Haun, who now serves on the board of crypto exchangeCoinbase. \"People often say, 'How can that possibly be? Isn't crypto anonymous?' The fact is, when crypto is used for illicit activity it leaves ... digital bread crumbs, and I can tell you that, firsthand, I used blockchain technology to actually solve crimes.\"\nDavid Kennedy, a former NSA hacker turned founder and CEO of security firmTrustedSec, told CNBC earlier Monday he believes making it illegal for companies to pay ransomware payments in cryptocurrency would, over time, lead to a decline in such attacks.\nHowever, there would be a high cost in the immediate term, he contended, as companies that fall victim to security breaches struggle to return their systems to operation.\n\"What would happen is you'd have an influx of ransomware groups trying to get as many attacks off\" as possible before the payment ban went into effect, Kennedy said.\n\"During that period of time, you'd see a heightened attack surface around a lot of companies being compromised and then you'd see a major dip off because they're essentially cutting off the currency of these organizations,\" he said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":484,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":150729110,"gmtCreate":1624928446930,"gmtModify":1703848082989,"author":{"id":"3581933019930023","authorId":"3581933019930023","name":"grondo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581933019930023","authorIdStr":"3581933019930023"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/150729110","repostId":"1103175848","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1103175848","pubTimestamp":1624926963,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1103175848?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-29 08:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The bull market for these ‘green’ metal stocks is just beginning, Goldman Sachs says","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1103175848","media":"CNBC","summary":"Analysts at Goldman Sachs have picked out “green” aluminum stocks that they believe will benefit from a bull market for the metal that could last several years.Aluminum production contributes around 3% of global carbon emissions each year and the race to reduce such pollution is “well underway,” according to Goldman in a research note published Thursday.

The metal is used in the manufacturing of everything from airplanes to laptops.\nIn the note titled “The race for Green Aluminium: Upgrading prices & picking Green winners,” the analysts said they have “little doubt that investors should view aluminium as in the early stages of a multi-year bull market,” due to a combination of rising demand and “progressively larger” supply deficits.\nFirms that can reduce their emissions are set to see a “green premium” in their stock prices — and some may make billions of dollars from new green tech, Goldman added.\nHere are some of the bank’s stock picks:\n\nU.S. firm Alcoa is buy-rated by Goldman, which increased its earnings per share estimates by 14% for the year and by 30% for 2023 due to rising aluminum prices. The bank also likes Alcoa’s debt reduction plans and heightened focus on green targets, and added that new green tech the company is producing “could potentially be worth billions of $” to the firm.\n\n\nNorwegian company Hydro is also buy-rated for its sector-beating earnings growth, and green initiatives such as recycling and investment in battery technology, that offer “significant upside,” according to the analysts. Goldman did not detail EPS estimates, but upped its expectations for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization by 22% for this year.\n\n\nGoldman picked Russian producer Rusal— which is set tospin off its older, higher-emitting smeltersinto a separate company — raising its EPS estimates by 9% for the year, rising to a 29% increase in 2022. The bank likes its “strong earnings momentum.”\n\n\nAustralian mining company South32 is estimated to increase its EPS by 1% this year and 20% by 2023, Goldman said. While the bank said the firm isn’t doing as well at reducing emissions than its peers, it remains buy-rated due to its “strong” free cashflow outlook and likely increase in dividend returns.\n\nGreen premium\n“We think those companies that can reduce their emission intensity may attract a valuation premium vs. peers with the likely increase in green metal premia driven by demand from customers. Conversely, as we outlined in our Mining to Net Zero report, we think investors will likely penalise companies who do not reduce absolute emissions and emissions intensity and/or achieve targets,” Goldman’s analysts stated.\nCompanies are set to reduce their emissions by using hydro power to manufacture aluminum.\nA tight market\nA lack of supply combined with high demand is set to push aluminum prices to their highest levels since the late 2000s when they traded around $3,000 per metric ton, Goldman said. “The team upgraded their 12-month target to US$3,000/t from US$2,650/t which signals close to 20% upside from spot,” the bank’s analysts wrote.\n“The team expects the first half of the 2020s will see the lowest five-year period for global primary metal supply growth in close to 40 years. This will be set against a green reinforced demand environment, which will generate an extension through the 2020s of what has been a very strong decade for aluminium consumption in the 2010s,” the analysts added.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":410,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":150729034,"gmtCreate":1624928435328,"gmtModify":1703848082664,"author":{"id":"3581933019930023","authorId":"3581933019930023","name":"grondo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581933019930023","authorIdStr":"3581933019930023"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great","listText":"Great","text":"Great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/150729034","repostId":"1156270995","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1156270995","pubTimestamp":1624927625,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1156270995?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-29 08:47","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Mexico: Supreme Court Decriminalizes Marijuana For Adult-Use","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1156270995","media":"Benzinga","summary":"In Mexico,the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) approved the decriminalization of the ad","content":"<p>In&nbsp;<b>Mexico,</b>the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) approved the decriminalization of the adult or recreational use of marijuana.</p>\n<p>Thus, with 8 votes in favor and 3 against, the General Declaration of Unconstitutionality (DGI) was approved to invalidate five articles of the General Health Law that absolutely prohibit the recreational use of cannabis.</p>\n<p>This way, the Court again obliges Congress to create a regulatory framework for adult consumption of the plant.</p>\n<p>Context for the decriminalization of marijuana in Mexico</p>\n<p>Lorena Beltrán, CEO of the Mexican cannabis company CannabiSalud, toldEl Planteothat, “In order to explain what happened today it is important to remember that, since October 2018, it’s been unconstitutional to prohibit people from possessing and using cannabis for personal purposes.</p>\n<p>“However, the processes to obtain permits of this nature have been too bureaucratic: one had to request this permit from COFEPRIS, which was generally refused.

The FAA must really despise these guys,\" he said. \"After all the recent safety issues, can you blame them?\nThe delay adds a new problem to Boeing's plate as it jockeys to get the popular selling 737 Max approved to fly again in China, Cramer noted.\nChina, a key market, was the first country to ground the jets in 2019 after they were involved in two deadly crashes within five months.

As of early June, stocks in the S&P 500 had their increase in second-quarter earnings estimates since 2002, according to FactSet’s John Butters.\nWhile the increasing estimates could make the bar harder to clear for some companies, they should also be a good indicator for investors looking to buy, according to Ned Davis Research.\n“Earnings revisions has been one of the top-performing strategies over time. As the market outlook improves, investors reward the companies with improving earnings growth expectations,” NDR’s Brian Sanborn said in a note to clients last week.\nThe firm’s earnings earnings revisions factor measures the monthly change in one-year earnings projections by analysts. The strategy has performed particularly well after periods like Wall Street has seen over the past six months.\n“Earnings revisions was one of the top factors following strong periods of Value relative strength compared to Growth as in 1993 and 2006. This strategy has also exceled after all-time market highs and sentiment peaks,” the note said.\nNED DAVIS RESEARCH PORTFOLIO PICKS\n\n\n\nTICKER\nCOMPANY\nPRICE\nCHANGE\n%CHANGE\n\n\n\n\nDE\nDeere & Co\n349.99\n-0.63\n-0.1797\n\n\nLOW\nLowe’s Companies Inc\n192.66\n0.91\n0.47\n\n\nUNH\nUnitedHealth Group Inc\n404.95\n6.08\n1.52\n\n\nACN\nAccenture PLC\n294.66\n3.10\n1.06\n\n\nFB\nFacebook\n341.37\n-1.81\n-0.5274\n\n\n\nThe firm highlighted several of the stocks from its portfolio picks list for high marks in its earnings revision factor and other strategies, including tech giantFacebookand Dow componentUnitedHealth Group.\nShares of Facebook have picked up momentum over the past three months, rising more than 20%.

We might not be able to pinpoint when it'll happen, but history is pretty clear that crashes and corrections are inevitable parts of the investing cycle.</p>\n<h2>All signs point to a crash or steep correction in the not-so-distant future</h2>\n<p>As an example, we can look back more than six decades and see that no rebound from a bear-market bottom has ever been this robust or smooth. In the three years following each of the previous eight bear-market bottoms, there were either <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> or two double-digit percentage declines in the benchmark <b>S&amp;P 500</b> (SNPINDEX:^GSPC). In other words, rebounding from a bear market is a process that doesn't result in straight-line moves higher, which is what we've witnessed over the past 15 months.</p>\n<p>If you need more evidence, take a closer look at the S&amp;P 500's Shiller price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, which examines inflation-adjusted earnings over the previous 10 years. As of Monday, June 21, its Shiller P/E of 37.5 is 123% higher than the 151-year average. Even more telling, the S&amp;P has subsequently shed at least 20% of its value in the previous four instances where the Shiller P/E has topped 30 and sustained it. In this instance, history is most definitely not on the market's side.</p>\n<p>The use of margin is equally concerning. Market analytics company Yardeni Research notes that margin debt in May 2021 climbed to a new high of almost $862 billion, and is up around 60% from the prior-year period. Over the past 25 years, there have been only three instances where margin debt increased by 60% on a year-over-year basis. In the previous two instances (the dot-com bubble and the Great Recession), the S&amp;P 500 went on to lose around half its value.</p>\n<p>All signs are suggesting that, sooner rather than later, the stock market is going to crash or correct steeply.</p>\n<h2>These surefire stocks can make you rich</h2>\n<p>Though this might be unnerving to some folks, it's also an incredible opportunity. That's because crashes and corrections are usually short-lived events. They also have a perfect track record of eventually being erased by bull market rallies. As long as you're buying high-quality companies and holding on to your investments for the long term, steep declines represent the perfect times to put your money to work in the stock market.</p>\n<p>When the next crash does inevitably arrive, the following four surefire stocks should make investors a lot richer.</p>\n<h2>Alphabet</h2>\n<p>The idea of buying a company that relies heavily on advertising during periods when the U.S. economy could be in recession might sound odd. But let me assure you, <b>Alphabet</b> (NASDAQ:GOOGL)(NASDAQ:GOOG) is exactly the type of dominant company you'll want to add during periods of heightened volatility.</p>\n<p>Long-term investors buying Alphabet would benefit from two factors. First, recessions and crashes/corrections tend to be short-lived. By comparison, periods of economic expansion usually last multiple years, if not a decade. Alphabet simply bides its time during these short downtrends, then basks in double-digit growth and strong ad-pricing power for its Google internet search platform during long-winded expansions. According to GlobalStats, Google has controlled between 91% and 93% of worldwide internet-search share over the past two years.</p>\n<p>The second reason Alphabet is such a surefire stock to buy during a crash is its innovation. Content-streaming platform YouTube is now <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the three most-visited social sites in the world. Meanwhile, its cloud infrastructure services segment Google Cloud has been consistently growing at close to 50% on a year-over-year basis. Google Cloud will be especially helpful by mid-decade, with the higher margins from infrastructure services helping to catapult Alphabet's operating cash flow.</p>\n<h2>Innovative Industrial Properties</h2>\n<p>Another surefire opportunity can be found with cannabis-focused real estate investment trust (REIT) <b>Innovative Industrial Properties</b> (NYSE:IIPR). Innovative Industrial, or IIP for short, acquires facilities for growing and processing medical marijuana with the purpose of leasing these assets out for long periods of time.</p>\n<p>One of the more obvious benefits of this strategy is that it generates highly predictable cash flow. IIP owned 72 properties spanning 6.6 million square feet of rentable space in 18 states as of the beginning of June. According to the company, 100% of its properties are leased with a weighted-average lease of 16.8 years. It'll likely take less than half this time for the company to receive a complete payback on its $1.6 billion in invested capital. Plus, IIP passes along inflation-based rent hikes annually to its tenants, ensuring a very modest level of organic rental growth.</p>\n<p>What's more, Innovative Industrial is benefiting from federal gridlock on cannabis banking reform. Since marijuana is illegal at the federal level, pot companies have struggled to gain access to basic banking services. IIP resolves this issue with its sale-leaseback program. With this program, IIP acquires properties from multistate operators (MSO) for cash and immediately leases the property it buys back to the seller. This innovative program gives MSOs access to cash, while netting IIP long-term tenants.</p>\n<h2>UnitedHealth Group</h2>\n<p>Healthcare stocks are an incredibly smart place to put your money to work during a crash or steep correction. That's because the healthcare sector is defensive. Since we don't get to choose when we get sick or what ailment(s) we develop, there will always be demand for drugs, devices, and other healthcare services no matter how well or poorly the economy (or stock market) is performing. It's a big reason <b>UnitedHealth Group</b> (NYSE:UNH) is such a winner.</p>\n<p>Here's a little something you might not know: Only a handful of stocks have delivered a positive total return (including dividends paid) in each of the past 12 years since the Great Recession. UnitedHealth Group is one of those 12, and its health-benefits segment is a key reason. Providing health insurance often leads to predictable cash flow and strong premium-pricing power. Even with this pricing power somewhat limited by the Affordable Care Act, UnitedHealth is bringing in more than enough new members that it remains a very profitable segment.</p>\n<p>The other major growth driver for UnitedHealth Group is its healthcare services subsidiary Optum. It provides everything from pharmacy-benefit manager services to data analytics used by hospitals and health-centric organizations. Optum has actually been UnitedHealth's faster-growing operating segment, and it's the better bet to deliver superior long-term operating margins.</p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce</a></h2>\n<p>A fourth surefire stock you can comfortably buy if a stock market crash or steep correction strikes is <b>salesforce.com</b> (NYSE:CRM), which provides cloud-based customer-relationship management (CRM) software. It's used by consumer-facing businesses to enter customer information, handle product/service issues, manage online marketing campaigns, and even offer predictive sales analysis in real time.</p>\n<p>Through the midpoint of the decade, global CRM revenue is projected to rise annually by a low double-digit percentage. Salesforce, on the other hand, will be growing even faster. CEO Marc Benioff foresees his company increasing its full-year sales from $21.3 billion in its most recent fiscal year to more than $50 billion in five years (fiscal 2026). That's certainly easy to do when his company controls nearly 20% of worldwide CRM revenue as of the first half of 2020, per IDC. That's more than its four closest competitors, <i>combined</i>!</p>\n<p>Salesforce also has a knack for integrating acquisitions and using buyouts as a platform to expand its offerings or cross-sell its solutions. It has a $27.7 billion pending cash-and-stock deal in place to acquire <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WORK\">Slack Technologies</a></b>. Though this deal does open a new revenue channel for Salesforce, it's really all about the new exposure to small and medium-size businesses, as well as the ability to use Slack's platform to cross-sell its CRM solutions.</p>\n<p>In short, Salesforce isn't going to be fazed by a short-term crash or correction, which makes it a smart buy for investors.</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>A Stock Market Crash Is Inevitable: 4 Surefire Stocks to Buy When It Happens</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\">\nA Stock Market Crash Is Inevitable: 4 Surefire Stocks to Buy When It Happens\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-28 11:32 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/26/stock-market-crash-is-inevitable-4-surefire-stocks/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>They're the three words that can ruin an investor's day: stock market crash.\nAlthough talking about a stock market crash might be considered taboo, the fact is: A crash is on its way.

We might not be able to pinpoint when it'll happen, but history is pretty clear that crashes and corrections are inevitable parts of the investing cycle.\nAll signs point to a crash or steep correction in the not-so-distant future\nAs an example, we can look back more than six decades and see that no rebound from a bear-market bottom has ever been this robust or smooth. In the three years following each of the previous eight bear-market bottoms, there were either one or two double-digit percentage declines in the benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC). In other words, rebounding from a bear market is a process that doesn't result in straight-line moves higher, which is what we've witnessed over the past 15 months.\nIf you need more evidence, take a closer look at the S&P 500's Shiller price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, which examines inflation-adjusted earnings over the previous 10 years. As of Monday, June 21, its Shiller P/E of 37.5 is 123% higher than the 151-year average. Even more telling, the S&P has subsequently shed at least 20% of its value in the previous four instances where the Shiller P/E has topped 30 and sustained it. In this instance, history is most definitely not on the market's side.\nThe use of margin is equally concerning. Market analytics company Yardeni Research notes that margin debt in May 2021 climbed to a new high of almost $862 billion, and is up around 60% from the prior-year period. Over the past 25 years, there have been only three instances where margin debt increased by 60% on a year-over-year basis. In the previous two instances (the dot-com bubble and the Great Recession), the S&P 500 went on to lose around half its value.\nAll signs are suggesting that, sooner rather than later, the stock market is going to crash or correct steeply.\nThese surefire stocks can make you rich\nThough this might be unnerving to some folks, it's also an incredible opportunity.

These companies do, however, differ quite a lot from each other in a range of metrics, including growth, valuation, and there are also differences when it comes to each company's specific risks and moat. Apple is the largest company of these in terms of profits and market capitalization, but that does not necessarily make it the best investment. In this report, we will take a look at how Apple compares versus the other FAANG members.</p>\n<p><b>Are FAANG Stocks A Good Investment?</b></p>\n<p>Looking back a couple of years, the answer is pretty clear that FAANG stocks at least<i>were</i>a good investment in the recent past:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ae2b8e2b9caf99f74c28bafc10a0a872\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"484\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>With gains of 200% to 460%, these five companies easily trounced the broad market's returns over the same time, and all led to hefty gains, at least tripling an investor's money in just five years. The factors that led to these strong gains do, at least partially, still exist today. Notably, these five companies are generating compelling earnings growth, have leadership positions in the markets they address, possess strong brands that are well-received by consumers, and seem to have strong, long-term-oriented leadership teams.</p>\n<p>These factors are still in place today, which indicates that FAANG stocks could also be good investments in coming years, although investors should, even with high-quality companies, also consider a stock's valuation. Today, these companies do not look extremely cheap in most cases:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2ef865eea7af4369048432a9c85d1d83\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"540\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>At 26-64x this year's expected net profits, FAANG stocks can't really be called bargains, although the above-average valuations are, at least to some degree, justified due to the above-average earnings growth that these companies do generate. In any case, I doubt that investors owning FAANG stocks today will see 200%-400%+ returns over the next five years, as this seems unlikely for each of these five stocks due to the combination of current valuations and expected earnings growth. This does, however, not mean that FAANG stocks must be bad investments or underperform the market. In fact, in recent articles, I showcased that solid or even quite attractive returns can be expected from&nbsp;Facebook,Amazon, and Apple, even though the 30%-50% annual returns are likely a thing of the past - that's just mathematics, as no stock can grow at that rate forever.</p>\n<p><b>What Investors Can Expect From Apple</b></p>\n<p>Apple Inc. is not the highest-growth FAANG stock at all. Its growth has been solid but not spectacular in the recent past. This isn't a large surprise, as there is only a certain number of consumers that want to buy an iPhone or an iPad, and that amount can't grow by 50% a year for a very long time. Nevertheless, due to some market growth, some price increases, and growth from its services business, Apple should still be able to deliver sizeable revenue growth in the long run. New products such as the car project are a potential wildcard, but at least for the foreseeable future, this will not be a major profit center for the company. Apple also has a very ambitious shareholder return program, and its buybacks are an important factor for its future earnings per share growth. I believe that, overall, a high-single-digit earnings per share growth rate will be very much achievable for Apple in the long run. Combined with some multiple depression that I expect in coming years, as Apple will likely not trade at a high-20s earnings multiple forever, this gets me to a total return estimate&nbsp;in the 7% range. This is significantly less compared to what investors saw over the last couple of years, but on the other hand, 7% annual returns stemming from a strong, stable blue-chip stock such as Apple are not unattractive. I believe that some of the FAANG stocks could deliver stronger returns, primarily Alphabet and Facebook.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Versus Facebook</b></p>\n<p>Both Apple Inc. and Facebook have a great market position, but Facebook is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple. Apple has, in the smartphone industry, a market share of around 20%, although more in the higher-end segments. Facebook, for comparison, owns four out of the top five social media networks, with Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp. Clearly, FB absolutely dominates its industry. Facebook's industry is also growing quicker than the hardware IT markets that Apple serves, which is why Facebook's growth was significantly higher than Apple's growth in the recent past:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8fd8043ca75dcb2c38f5ffa427c8c0b9\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Facebook grew its revenue by well above 300% over the last five years, while Apple's revenue grew by a little less than 50%. When we look back at the total return chart at the beginning of this article and compare it to this revenue chart, we see that Apple's returns stemmed from multiple expansion to a large degree, whereas Facebook's stock actually got less expensive over the last five years. Facebook's business growth clearly outpaced its share price gains, which has made its shares less expensive. This also explains why Facebook, today, trades below the long-term median earnings multiple, whereas Apple's valuation is at the higher end of the historic range:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d3d49e0007aa77608b2992a9fef2142d\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"481\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>The fact that Facebook trades at a historic discount points to a solid entry price, whereas the same can't be said about Apple. On top of that, Facebook will also grow much faster in the future - at least if the analyst community is correct:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6b16c9b3e2eac182d42686bcd8a98fc5\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"515\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>While Apple is expected to see revenue growth of around 10% over the next two years, Facebook is expected to grow by 40% over the same time. Facebook's earnings per share growth estimate is also materially higher than that of Apple.</p>\n<p>To sum things up, we can say that Facebook is growing much faster, is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple, and its shares are trading at a discount compared to the historic average, whereas Apple's shares are historically expensive. This combination makes me believe that the total return outlook for Facebook is better compared to that of Apple.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Versus Alphabet</b></p>\n<p>When we compare Apple to Alphabet, the comparison is relatively similar to what we just saw when comparing Applet to Facebook. Alphabet is a company that is growing quicker than Apple, and that can, to a large degree, be explained by its great market position and the higher market growth rate. Online advertising is a market that has been growing quicker than the tablet or smartphone market in recent years, and the same will, I believe, be true in the foreseeable future as well.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6360514d097081c546a0ccacfbdc7af6\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Alphabet is forecasted to grow its revenue by more than 30% over the next two years, versus Apple's 10% growth. On top of that, at close to 20%, Alphabet is also expected to grow its earnings per share at a higher rate.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, despite its significantly better growth forecast, Alphabet isn't a lot more expensive compared to Apple. GOOG trades at 29x forward earnings, versus AAPL's 26x forward earnings multiple. Does it make sense for GOOG to trade at a premium of just 10%, while its expected growth is one and a half times as high as that of AAPL? You be the judge, but to me, it seems like the valuation looks better at Alphabet as long as we account for the stronger growth expectations. On top of that, with a net cash position of around $120 billion, Alphabet also has one of the best balance sheets in the world. Apple, for comparison, has a somewhat<i>smaller</i>net cash position of $80 billion, although that still makes for a very strong balance sheet, of course.</p>\n<p>All in all, we can summarize that Alphabet is growing faster today, is expected to grow significantly faster in the next two years and in the long run, has an even better balance sheet and a more dominant market position, and yet it trades at an earnings multiple that is only 10% higher than that of Apple. To me, Alphabet thus looks like the more attractive pick among these two at current prices.</p>\n<p><b>Apple Versus Netflix And Amazon</b></p>\n<p>Looking at the last two remaining companies in the FAANG group, we see that, once again, AAPL is growing at a slower pace. Unless Facebook and Alphabet, however, both Netflix and Amazon are way more expensive than Apple.</p>\n<p>This huge valuation premium offsets, at least to some degree, the higher expected growth, which is why I believe that Netflix and Amazon do not really seem like much better picks compared to Apple:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/6ccc2536fa3cadf06639a89e0b211b9a\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"481\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>AMZN and NFLX trade at PEG ratios of 1.8 and 1.9, which does not represent a clear discount compared to AAPL's valuation. On top of that, these two companies do not possess balance sheets that are as strong as that of Apple.</p>\n<p>Netflix, especially, looks significantly worse compared to the other FAANG members in terms of balance sheet strength and cash generation:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9d84f013051fbb00b6b488f5cfed66d4\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"450\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Netflix is the only FAANG member with a meaningful net debt position, and its free cash flows are equal to just 1% of its market capitalization. Netflix grows fast, but to me, it seems doubtful whether the current valuation is justified. Considering that more and more companies are pushing into the streaming market, including Disney (DIS), Amazon, and AT&amp;T(NYSE:T), more competition might hurt Netflix's margins in the future. NFLX thus seems like the worst pick among the five FAANG stocks to me, as it combines a high valuation, weak cash flows, and a somewhat uncertain competitive picture, and I think that is not fully negated by its strong growth alone.</p>\n<p>Amazon has a better market position than Netflix, a better balance sheet, and its valuation, relative to its growth, is a little lower than that of Netflix. I would rate Amazon as more or less equally attractive to Apple, although the two companies are quite different from each other in terms of growth, valuation, and shareholder returns.</p>\n<p><b>Which Is The Best FAANG Stock To Buy?</b></p>\n<p>Not every investor has the same goals, thus the answer may be different depending on what you are looking for in a stock. To me, Apple seems like a solid, but outstanding pick at current prices - the business undoubtedly is strong, the balance sheet is great, shareholder returns are hefty, but the valuation seems stretched, especially when we consider how cheap shares were in the past.</p>\n<p>Alphabet and Facebook do seem like the best FAANG picks to me today, as they combine strong growth with valuations that are only marginally higher than that of Apple.

However, valuations are significantly higher than they were historically.\nI believe that some of the other FAANG stocks are better, while others are worse. AAPL seems like a solid, but not a spectacular investment at today's valuation.\n\nMagioreStock/iStock Editorial via Getty Images\nArticle Thesis\nGoing with FAANG stocks, i.e. Facebook (FB), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Netflix (NFLX), and Alphabet (GOOG)(GOOGL), has been a winning trade in recent years, as those companies delivered strong gains for their owners. These companies do, however, differ quite a lot from each other in a range of metrics, including growth, valuation, and there are also differences when it comes to each company's specific risks and moat. Apple is the largest company of these in terms of profits and market capitalization, but that does not necessarily make it the best investment. In this report, we will take a look at how Apple compares versus the other FAANG members.\nAre FAANG Stocks A Good Investment?\nLooking back a couple of years, the answer is pretty clear that FAANG stocks at leastwerea good investment in the recent past:\nData by YCharts\nWith gains of 200% to 460%, these five companies easily trounced the broad market's returns over the same time, and all led to hefty gains, at least tripling an investor's money in just five years. The factors that led to these strong gains do, at least partially, still exist today. Notably, these five companies are generating compelling earnings growth, have leadership positions in the markets they address, possess strong brands that are well-received by consumers, and seem to have strong, long-term-oriented leadership teams.\nThese factors are still in place today, which indicates that FAANG stocks could also be good investments in coming years, although investors should, even with high-quality companies, also consider a stock's valuation. Today, these companies do not look extremely cheap in most cases:\nData by YCharts\nAt 26-64x this year's expected net profits, FAANG stocks can't really be called bargains, although the above-average valuations are, at least to some degree, justified due to the above-average earnings growth that these companies do generate. In any case, I doubt that investors owning FAANG stocks today will see 200%-400%+ returns over the next five years, as this seems unlikely for each of these five stocks due to the combination of current valuations and expected earnings growth. This does, however, not mean that FAANG stocks must be bad investments or underperform the market. In fact, in recent articles, I showcased that solid or even quite attractive returns can be expected from Facebook,Amazon, and Apple, even though the 30%-50% annual returns are likely a thing of the past - that's just mathematics, as no stock can grow at that rate forever.\nWhat Investors Can Expect From Apple\nApple Inc. is not the highest-growth FAANG stock at all. Its growth has been solid but not spectacular in the recent past. This isn't a large surprise, as there is only a certain number of consumers that want to buy an iPhone or an iPad, and that amount can't grow by 50% a year for a very long time. Nevertheless, due to some market growth, some price increases, and growth from its services business, Apple should still be able to deliver sizeable revenue growth in the long run. New products such as the car project are a potential wildcard, but at least for the foreseeable future, this will not be a major profit center for the company. Apple also has a very ambitious shareholder return program, and its buybacks are an important factor for its future earnings per share growth. I believe that, overall, a high-single-digit earnings per share growth rate will be very much achievable for Apple in the long run. Combined with some multiple depression that I expect in coming years, as Apple will likely not trade at a high-20s earnings multiple forever, this gets me to a total return estimate in the 7% range. This is significantly less compared to what investors saw over the last couple of years, but on the other hand, 7% annual returns stemming from a strong, stable blue-chip stock such as Apple are not unattractive. I believe that some of the FAANG stocks could deliver stronger returns, primarily Alphabet and Facebook.\nApple Versus Facebook\nBoth Apple Inc. and Facebook have a great market position, but Facebook is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple. Apple has, in the smartphone industry, a market share of around 20%, although more in the higher-end segments. Facebook, for comparison, owns four out of the top five social media networks, with Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and WhatsApp. Clearly, FB absolutely dominates its industry. Facebook's industry is also growing quicker than the hardware IT markets that Apple serves, which is why Facebook's growth was significantly higher than Apple's growth in the recent past:\nData by YCharts\nFacebook grew its revenue by well above 300% over the last five years, while Apple's revenue grew by a little less than 50%. When we look back at the total return chart at the beginning of this article and compare it to this revenue chart, we see that Apple's returns stemmed from multiple expansion to a large degree, whereas Facebook's stock actually got less expensive over the last five years. Facebook's business growth clearly outpaced its share price gains, which has made its shares less expensive. This also explains why Facebook, today, trades below the long-term median earnings multiple, whereas Apple's valuation is at the higher end of the historic range:\nData by YCharts\nThe fact that Facebook trades at a historic discount points to a solid entry price, whereas the same can't be said about Apple. On top of that, Facebook will also grow much faster in the future - at least if the analyst community is correct:\nData by YCharts\nWhile Apple is expected to see revenue growth of around 10% over the next two years, Facebook is expected to grow by 40% over the same time. Facebook's earnings per share growth estimate is also materially higher than that of Apple.\nTo sum things up, we can say that Facebook is growing much faster, is even more dominant in its industry compared to Apple, and its shares are trading at a discount compared to the historic average, whereas Apple's shares are historically expensive. This combination makes me believe that the total return outlook for Facebook is better compared to that of Apple.\nApple Versus Alphabet\nWhen we compare Apple to Alphabet, the comparison is relatively similar to what we just saw when comparing Applet to Facebook. Alphabet is a company that is growing quicker than Apple, and that can, to a large degree, be explained by its great market position and the higher market growth rate. Online advertising is a market that has been growing quicker than the tablet or smartphone market in recent years, and the same will, I believe, be true in the foreseeable future as well.\nData by YCharts\nAlphabet is forecasted to grow its revenue by more than 30% over the next two years, versus Apple's 10% growth. On top of that, at close to 20%, Alphabet is also expected to grow its earnings per share at a higher rate.\nNevertheless, despite its significantly better growth forecast, Alphabet isn't a lot more expensive compared to Apple. GOOG trades at 29x forward earnings, versus AAPL's 26x forward earnings multiple. Does it make sense for GOOG to trade at a premium of just 10%, while its expected growth is one and a half times as high as that of AAPL? You be the judge, but to me, it seems like the valuation looks better at Alphabet as long as we account for the stronger growth expectations. On top of that, with a net cash position of around $120 billion, Alphabet also has one of the best balance sheets in the world. Apple, for comparison, has a somewhatsmallernet cash position of $80 billion, although that still makes for a very strong balance sheet, of course.\nAll in all, we can summarize that Alphabet is growing faster today, is expected to grow significantly faster in the next two years and in the long run, has an even better balance sheet and a more dominant market position, and yet it trades at an earnings multiple that is only 10% higher than that of Apple. To me, Alphabet thus looks like the more attractive pick among these two at current prices.\nApple Versus Netflix And Amazon\nLooking at the last two remaining companies in the FAANG group, we see that, once again, AAPL is growing at a slower pace. Unless Facebook and Alphabet, however, both Netflix and Amazon are way more expensive than Apple.\nThis huge valuation premium offsets, at least to some degree, the higher expected growth, which is why I believe that Netflix and Amazon do not really seem like much better picks compared to Apple:\nData by YCharts\nAMZN and NFLX trade at PEG ratios of 1.8 and 1.9, which does not represent a clear discount compared to AAPL's valuation. On top of that, these two companies do not possess balance sheets that are as strong as that of Apple.\nNetflix, especially, looks significantly worse compared to the other FAANG members in terms of balance sheet strength and cash generation:\nData by YCharts\nNetflix is the only FAANG member with a meaningful net debt position, and its free cash flows are equal to just 1% of its market capitalization. Netflix grows fast, but to me, it seems doubtful whether the current valuation is justified. Considering that more and more companies are pushing into the streaming market, including Disney (DIS), Amazon, and AT&T(NYSE:T), more competition might hurt Netflix's margins in the future. NFLX thus seems like the worst pick among the five FAANG stocks to me, as it combines a high valuation, weak cash flows, and a somewhat uncertain competitive picture, and I think that is not fully negated by its strong growth alone.\nAmazon has a better market position than Netflix, a better balance sheet, and its valuation, relative to its growth, is a little lower than that of Netflix. I would rate Amazon as more or less equally attractive to Apple, although the two companies are quite different from each other in terms of growth, valuation, and shareholder returns.\nWhich Is The Best FAANG Stock To Buy?\nNot every investor has the same goals, thus the answer may be different depending on what you are looking for in a stock. To me, Apple seems like a solid, but outstanding pick at current prices - the business undoubtedly is strong, the balance sheet is great, shareholder returns are hefty, but the valuation seems stretched, especially when we consider how cheap shares were in the past.\nAlphabet and Facebook do seem like the best FAANG picks to me today, as they combine strong growth with valuations that are only marginally higher than that of Apple. On top of that, both Alphabet and Facebook dominate their markets. Amazon is a stock that I would rate as a solid investment at today's price, so more or less in line with AAPL, whereas Netflix seems like the weakest pick among these five to me.\nDepending on your time horizon, appetite for risk, etc. you may disagree, however - and that's perfectly fine.

Many companies faced adversity throughout the pandemic, and some are still recovering, but not BABA. Through the worst economic environment for businesses to navigate in recent times, BABA generated over $100 billion in revenue and $20 billion in net income during their recent fiscal year. While BABA didn't get the memo about businesses facing challenges amidst the pandemic, the market must not have read BABA's earnings report or crunched the numbers.</p>\n<p>There are two Chinese companies I am bullish on, and BABA is my biggest conviction for appreciation. BABA smashed through the $300 share price level at the end of October 2020, but shareholders have been left confused and disappointed since then. It looked like BABA would turn the corner after a horrible end to 2020 as shares appreciated from $222.36 from the close of 2020 to $270.83 in the middle of February 2021. Still, the markets had other plans, and all shares of BABA have done is disappoint shareholders. If you missed the BABA train, it's time to grab your tickets and climb aboard, and if you purchased BABA during its run to $300 or early 2021 rebound, it might be time to add to your holdings. BABA is going to experience tremendous tailwinds from China's population and economic growth over the next several years, and their printing press is going to need more ink.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86da7b532f25f563d08490ddc43cbede\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"337\"><span>(Source: Alibaba)</span></p>\n<p><b>The Alibaba printing press is open for business, and it spits out billions</b></p>\n<p>How many companies can say their annual revenue through the pandemic exceeded $100 billion? The $100 billion revenue mark is a prestigious club that companies such as&nbsp;Facebook (FB),PepsiCo (PEP),Procter &amp; Gamble (PG),Target (TGT), and&nbsp;Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ)&nbsp;are not part of. BABA, on the other hand, witnessed its revenue increase by 52.11% and smash through $100 billion as they generated $109.47 billion in their recent fiscal year. For the year ending March 2019, BABA's revenue increased by $16.25 billion (40.74%) to $56.15 billion, then for the March 2020 fiscal year, revenue increased another $15.82 billion (28.17%) to $71.97 billion. BABA is in the same boat as Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG)(GOOGL), FB, and Amazon (AMZN) as they watched the pandemic push more people to go digital which accelerated their businesses. For BABA, the forced transition to digital helped them achieve $37.5 billion (52.11%) in additional revenue as they finished their March 2021 fiscal year with $109.47 billion in revenue.</p>\n<p>Since 2013 BABA has not had a year where their annual revenue increase didn't exceed 25% Year over Year (YoY). When you think about that as a growth rate, it's remarkable for a company of BABA's size as this isn't a company chasing its first billion-dollar revenue year. Over the past 5 fiscal years, BABA's annual revenue has increased by $93.8 billion (408.08%) at an average annual rate of 48.25%. Smaller companies considered growth companies would be jealous of these rates, while many large caps are probably envious.</p>\n<p>BABA isn't a one-trick pony that can only generate tens of billions in revenue. BABA can convert right down to the bottom line. Each year BABA has increased its YoY gross profit by a minimum of 10% since 2013. In 2016 BABA generated $10.35 billion in gross profit and, over the next 5 fiscal years, increased its annual gross profit by $34.84 billion (336.68%). BABA has also never fallen below a 40% gross profit margin, Warren Buffett's magic number, as he indicates in<i>Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements. On page 34 of the Kindle edition,it says:</i></p>\n<blockquote>\n As a very general rule (and there are exceptions): Companies with gross profit margins of 40% or better tend to be companies with some sort of durable competitive advantage. Companies with gross profit margins below 40% tend to be companies in highly competitive industries, where competition is hurting overall profit margins (there are exceptions here, too).\n</blockquote>\n<p>The gross profit margin is important for investors to evaluate because it reveals how much of a company's revenue goes directly to producing it and if they have a moat around their business. BABA's numbers indicate they have a sufficient moat around their business that is hard to penetrate. With close to a decade of generating over 40% in gross profit margins, investors can expect that BABA's moat will protect its business operations for years to come.</p>\n<p>Moving to the bottom line BABA does a great job at generating profits. In their most recent fiscal year, BABA generated $22.98 billion in net income, converting more than 1/5th (20.99%) of their revenue to pure profits. Since 2013 BABA has only had 1 year where net income decreases YoY. With that track record, many options open up for BABA in the future as their cash stockpile continues to increase.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/41a5e036f023fa4ced7666e06aa1de6b\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"444\"><span>(Source: Alibaba)</span></p>\n<p><b>Alibaba will continue to experience tailwinds as China's population and economy expands</b></p>\n<p>Alibaba&nbsp;achieved one billion annual active consumers globally in the fiscal year that ended in March 2021. BABA has 891 million consumers across China's retail marketplace, local consumer services and digital media and entertainment platforms, and approximately 240 million consumers outside China. BABA's annual active consumers in the China retail marketplaces were 811 million as it grew by 85 million YoY. BABA will focus on developing a digital commerce infrastructure that offers an upgraded consumer experience by seamlessly integrating online and offline. Through BABA's infrastructure, countless retailers have digitally transformed their businesses and created multiple retail formats that have enabled new consumption experiences by leveraging consumer insights and technology. BABA's ecosystem, supply chain, and diversified fulfillment services have facilitated an immense digital transformation. By investing in its infrastructure, BABA's customers can now leverage a full range of high-frequency fulfillment services that include on-demand delivery, same-or-next day delivery, and next-day pick-up services for a full range of consumable and physical products.</p>\n<p>BABA will continue to be one of the cornerstones that supports growth within China's economy, which is benefiting from the acceleration of digitalization in all aspects of life and work. China is projected to be the world's largest economy by 2028. The per-capita income in China is expected to grow by roughly 50% from 2020 to 2025.China's average economic growth&nbsp;has been projected to increase at a rate of 5.7% from 2021 to 2025, then slow to 4.5% from 2026 to 2030. As a result,China&nbsp;is on track to join the top 1/3rd of nations and overtake 56 countries in the per capita income rankings by 2025. By the end of 2022, McKinsey&nbsp;predicts&nbsp;that the middle class could expand to 550 million people which is larger than the entire U.S population.</p>\n<p>If the projections for China are correct, this should mean a windfall of cash lining BABA's coffers. It's a simple recipe; when people make more money, they tend to spend more money to enhance their lives and increase their standard of living. As BABA is a dominant force in China's retail sector, they stand to benefit from a growing economy and a larger middle class. At the end of next year, if China has anywhere close to 550 million individuals in the middle class, I believe BABA's revenue and profits will increase significantly. This trend can provide tailwinds throughout the decade for BABA, and eventually, the market will reward shareholders based on BABA's value proposition.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bbde4a092d19118a2d16daabf5c027d7\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"463\"><span>(Source: Blomberg)</span></p>\n<p><b>Alibaba has tremendous growth prospects in Cloud as China continues its digitization</b></p>\n<p>Cloud computing has been red hot in the U.S. as the transition from on-prem to cloud has increased the technological capabilities for many organizations. As digitization progresses across the business landscape, cloud providers continue to increase revenue generated from their cloud segments within their overall revenue mix. For example, AWS, the cloud computing division from&nbsp;AMZN, generated $45.37 billion in 2020. Cloud continues to be an exciting sector because the digital transformation is far from being over. Hence, the prospects of new customers are enormous while reoccurring revenue is generated after the transition occurs.</p>\n<p>In China, cloud infrastructure services are still in the early innings as the entire spend was around $15 billion in 2020. In Q1 of 2021, cloud infrastructure services in&nbsp;China&nbsp;grew by 55% YoY as it reached $6 billion. China was the 2nd largest market behind the U.S, accounting for 14% of global investment, up from 12% in Q1 of 2020. With cloud spending and digitization in China increasing, this serves as a major runway for growth in Alibaba Cloud.</p>\n<p>As China's economy expands, businesses will need to become more efficient to support both operations and customer demands. Chinese companies will need to implement infrastructure that can support a digital age of the workforce while supporting cloud services used by consumers for consumption. If China passes the U.S. as the world's largest economy in the second half of this decade, the amount of growth needed in cloud services will be immense. BABA is already the leader in cloud infrastructure services in China as their 39.8% market share accounted for $2.39 billion of the $6 billion spent in Q1 2021. Over the previous 6 quarters, cloud infrastructure spending has increased by roughly $2.3 billion (76.67%) in China. Based on cloud's current trajectory, quarterly revenue is on track to double over the next 2 years, putting Q1 2023 revenue at $10.6 billion. If BABA has a 35% market share, their Q1 2023 would be $3.71 billion, placing their 2023 revenue for cloud at $14.84 billion without factoring in any growth in 2023. From a cloud aspect, China's future spending is very exciting, and BABA will be one of the major benefactors.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1759b81ce463d503a165d901e2e50d7c\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"728\"><span>(Source: Canalys)</span></p>\n<p><b>Alibaba has stellar financial metrics and is undervalued compared to the U.S. tech conglomerates</b></p>\n<p>For this comparison, I am going to use AMZN and GOOGL as they have been establishing their dominance in the U.S. for more than a decade.

GOOGL has a multiple of 7.17x on its equity and 8.39x on its revenue compared to market cap. AMZN and GOOGL's market caps exceed $1.5 trillion, while BABA's sits at $575.57 billion. The market is placing a 3.5x multiple on BABA's equity and 5.26x on its revenue compared to the market cap. Thus, the market is severely discounting BABA's equity and revenue generation. BABA's equity is worth 28.58% of its market cap, while AMZN's equity is equivalent to 5.87%, and GOOGL's is 13.94% of its market cap. The current discount placed on BABA's equity could create an additional tailwind for shareholders in the future.</p>\n<p><b>Conclusion</b></p>\n<p>It's hard to dismiss the growth opportunities some companies in China are presenting, especially after the recent decline in share prices. However, I believe shares of BABA are currently undervalued based on their current financial metrics and growth rates. China's economy and the amount of capital allocated to cloud service infrastructure are expected to grow substantially over the years. These will create powerful tailwinds for BABA throughout this decade. As a result, I think shareholders have been allowed to establish a BABA or dollar cost average position at a discounted price. I plan on continuing to add shares to my position while the market is discounting BABA.</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>Alibaba: Can BABA Get Back To $300?

Many companies faced adversity throughout the pandemic, and some are still recovering, but not BABA. Through the worst economic environment for businesses to navigate in recent times, BABA generated over $100 billion in revenue and $20 billion in net income during their recent fiscal year. While BABA didn't get the memo about businesses facing challenges amidst the pandemic, the market must not have read BABA's earnings report or crunched the numbers.\nThere are two Chinese companies I am bullish on, and BABA is my biggest conviction for appreciation. BABA smashed through the $300 share price level at the end of October 2020, but shareholders have been left confused and disappointed since then. It looked like BABA would turn the corner after a horrible end to 2020 as shares appreciated from $222.36 from the close of 2020 to $270.83 in the middle of February 2021. Still, the markets had other plans, and all shares of BABA have done is disappoint shareholders. If you missed the BABA train, it's time to grab your tickets and climb aboard, and if you purchased BABA during its run to $300 or early 2021 rebound, it might be time to add to your holdings. BABA is going to experience tremendous tailwinds from China's population and economic growth over the next several years, and their printing press is going to need more ink.\n(Source: Alibaba)\nThe Alibaba printing press is open for business, and it spits out billions\nHow many companies can say their annual revenue through the pandemic exceeded $100 billion? The $100 billion revenue mark is a prestigious club that companies such as Facebook (FB),PepsiCo (PEP),Procter & Gamble (PG),Target (TGT), and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) are not part of. BABA, on the other hand, witnessed its revenue increase by 52.11% and smash through $100 billion as they generated $109.47 billion in their recent fiscal year. For the year ending March 2019, BABA's revenue increased by $16.25 billion (40.74%) to $56.15 billion, then for the March 2020 fiscal year, revenue increased another $15.82 billion (28.17%) to $71.97 billion. BABA is in the same boat as Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOG)(GOOGL), FB, and Amazon (AMZN) as they watched the pandemic push more people to go digital which accelerated their businesses. For BABA, the forced transition to digital helped them achieve $37.5 billion (52.11%) in additional revenue as they finished their March 2021 fiscal year with $109.47 billion in revenue.\nSince 2013 BABA has not had a year where their annual revenue increase didn't exceed 25% Year over Year (YoY). When you think about that as a growth rate, it's remarkable for a company of BABA's size as this isn't a company chasing its first billion-dollar revenue year. Over the past 5 fiscal years, BABA's annual revenue has increased by $93.8 billion (408.08%) at an average annual rate of 48.25%. Smaller companies considered growth companies would be jealous of these rates, while many large caps are probably envious.\nBABA isn't a one-trick pony that can only generate tens of billions in revenue. BABA can convert right down to the bottom line. Each year BABA has increased its YoY gross profit by a minimum of 10% since 2013. In 2016 BABA generated $10.35 billion in gross profit and, over the next 5 fiscal years, increased its annual gross profit by $34.84 billion (336.68%). BABA has also never fallen below a 40% gross profit margin, Warren Buffett's magic number, as he indicates inWarren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements. On page 34 of the Kindle edition,it says:\n\n As a very general rule (and there are exceptions): Companies with gross profit margins of 40% or better tend to be companies with some sort of durable competitive advantage. Companies with gross profit margins below 40% tend to be companies in highly competitive industries, where competition is hurting overall profit margins (there are exceptions here, too).\n\nThe gross profit margin is important for investors to evaluate because it reveals how much of a company's revenue goes directly to producing it and if they have a moat around their business. BABA's numbers indicate they have a sufficient moat around their business that is hard to penetrate. With close to a decade of generating over 40% in gross profit margins, investors can expect that BABA's moat will protect its business operations for years to come.\nMoving to the bottom line BABA does a great job at generating profits. In their most recent fiscal year, BABA generated $22.98 billion in net income, converting more than 1/5th (20.99%) of their revenue to pure profits. Since 2013 BABA has only had 1 year where net income decreases YoY. With that track record, many options open up for BABA in the future as their cash stockpile continues to increase.\n(Source: Alibaba)\nAlibaba will continue to experience tailwinds as China's population and economy expands\nAlibaba achieved one billion annual active consumers globally in the fiscal year that ended in March 2021. BABA has 891 million consumers across China's retail marketplace, local consumer services and digital media and entertainment platforms, and approximately 240 million consumers outside China. BABA's annual active consumers in the China retail marketplaces were 811 million as it grew by 85 million YoY. BABA will focus on developing a digital commerce infrastructure that offers an upgraded consumer experience by seamlessly integrating online and offline. Through BABA's infrastructure, countless retailers have digitally transformed their businesses and created multiple retail formats that have enabled new consumption experiences by leveraging consumer insights and technology. BABA's ecosystem, supply chain, and diversified fulfillment services have facilitated an immense digital transformation. By investing in its infrastructure, BABA's customers can now leverage a full range of high-frequency fulfillment services that include on-demand delivery, same-or-next day delivery, and next-day pick-up services for a full range of consumable and physical products.\nBABA will continue to be one of the cornerstones that supports growth within China's economy, which is benefiting from the acceleration of digitalization in all aspects of life and work. China is projected to be the world's largest economy by 2028. The per-capita income in China is expected to grow by roughly 50% from 2020 to 2025.China's average economic growth has been projected to increase at a rate of 5.7% from 2021 to 2025, then slow to 4.5% from 2026 to 2030. As a result,China is on track to join the top 1/3rd of nations and overtake 56 countries in the per capita income rankings by 2025. By the end of 2022, McKinsey predicts that the middle class could expand to 550 million people which is larger than the entire U.S population.\nIf the projections for China are correct, this should mean a windfall of cash lining BABA's coffers. It's a simple recipe; when people make more money, they tend to spend more money to enhance their lives and increase their standard of living. As BABA is a dominant force in China's retail sector, they stand to benefit from a growing economy and a larger middle class. At the end of next year, if China has anywhere close to 550 million individuals in the middle class, I believe BABA's revenue and profits will increase significantly. This trend can provide tailwinds throughout the decade for BABA, and eventually, the market will reward shareholders based on BABA's value proposition.\n(Source: Blomberg)\nAlibaba has tremendous growth prospects in Cloud as China continues its digitization\nCloud computing has been red hot in the U.S. as the transition from on-prem to cloud has increased the technological capabilities for many organizations. As digitization progresses across the business landscape, cloud providers continue to increase revenue generated from their cloud segments within their overall revenue mix. For example, AWS, the cloud computing division from AMZN, generated $45.37 billion in 2020. Cloud continues to be an exciting sector because the digital transformation is far from being over. Hence, the prospects of new customers are enormous while reoccurring revenue is generated after the transition occurs.\nIn China, cloud infrastructure services are still in the early innings as the entire spend was around $15 billion in 2020. In Q1 of 2021, cloud infrastructure services in China grew by 55% YoY as it reached $6 billion. China was the 2nd largest market behind the U.S, accounting for 14% of global investment, up from 12% in Q1 of 2020. With cloud spending and digitization in China increasing, this serves as a major runway for growth in Alibaba Cloud.\nAs China's economy expands, businesses will need to become more efficient to support both operations and customer demands. Chinese companies will need to implement infrastructure that can support a digital age of the workforce while supporting cloud services used by consumers for consumption. If China passes the U.S. as the world's largest economy in the second half of this decade, the amount of growth needed in cloud services will be immense. BABA is already the leader in cloud infrastructure services in China as their 39.8% market share accounted for $2.39 billion of the $6 billion spent in Q1 2021. Over the previous 6 quarters, cloud infrastructure spending has increased by roughly $2.3 billion (76.67%) in China. Based on cloud's current trajectory, quarterly revenue is on track to double over the next 2 years, putting Q1 2023 revenue at $10.6 billion. If BABA has a 35% market share, their Q1 2023 would be $3.71 billion, placing their 2023 revenue for cloud at $14.84 billion without factoring in any growth in 2023. From a cloud aspect, China's future spending is very exciting, and BABA will be one of the major benefactors.\n(Source: Canalys)\nAlibaba has stellar financial metrics and is undervalued compared to the U.S. tech conglomerates\nFor this comparison, I am going to use AMZN and GOOGL as they have been establishing their dominance in the U.S. for more than a decade. First, here are the raw numbers for AMZN, BABA, and GOOGL:\n\nAMZN\nBABA\nGOOGL\n\nThe market currently places a multiple of 17.03x on AMZN's equity compared to its market cap, while its revenue multiple is 4.2x. GOOGL has a multiple of 7.17x on its equity and 8.39x on its revenue compared to market cap. AMZN and GOOGL's market caps exceed $1.5 trillion, while BABA's sits at $575.57 billion. The market is placing a 3.5x multiple on BABA's equity and 5.26x on its revenue compared to the market cap. Thus, the market is severely discounting BABA's equity and revenue generation. BABA's equity is worth 28.58% of its market cap, while AMZN's equity is equivalent to 5.87%, and GOOGL's is 13.94% of its market cap. The current discount placed on BABA's equity could create an additional tailwind for shareholders in the future.\nConclusion\nIt's hard to dismiss the growth opportunities some companies in China are presenting, especially after the recent decline in share prices. However, I believe shares of BABA are currently undervalued based on their current financial metrics and growth rates. China's economy and the amount of capital allocated to cloud service infrastructure are expected to grow substantially over the years. These will create powerful tailwinds for BABA throughout this decade. As a result, I think shareholders have been allowed to establish a BABA or dollar cost average position at a discounted price.

First Solar climbed as the U.S. was said to be on the verge of barring some solar products made in China’s Xinjiang region. Mega-cap tech names Alphabet, Nvidia, Microsoft, Netflix and Facebook also gained between 0.4% and 0.6%, setting the Nasdaq for a record open. MGM Resorts International rose 2.7% after Deutsche Bank upgraded the casino operator’s stock to “buy” from “hold”.</p>\n<p>Here are some of the biggest U.S. movers today:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Retail trader favorites gain in premarket trading with Clover Health (CLOV) rising 5.5% and Sundial (SNDL) gaining 6%.</li>\n <li>Daqo New Energy (DQ) drops 6.8% and JinkoSolar (JKS) slides 1.5% with the U.S. poised to block some solar products made in China’s Xinjiang region.</li>\n <li>Information technology services provider DHI Group (DHX) surges 18% after the company’s board authorized a stock buyback program of up to $12 million.</li>\n <li>India Globalization Capital (IGC) rallies 35% after announcing it completed the final cohort of its Phase 1 clinical trial on its tetrahydrocannabinol drug, intended to alleviate Alzheimer’s disease symptoms.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>So far this week, the value index, which includes economy-linked energy, financial and industrial stocks, and its tech-heavy growth counterpart are both up almost 1.8% following the Federal Reserve’s hawkish forecast from a week ago.</p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan said the economy will likely meet the Fed’s threshold for tapering asset purchases sooner than people think, while his Atlanta peer Raphael Bostic said the central bank could decide to slow such purchases in the next few months. Despite the ongoing hawkish commentary, markets pushed higher realizing that the Fed can never again let stocks drop or else the entire ponzi scheme risks collapsing.</p>\n<p>Indeed, stock buyers have shaken off the hawkish turn by the Federal Reserve and are now viewing it as a way to bring inflation under control, according to Sebastien Galy, a Luxembourg-based strategist at Nordea Investment Funds.</p>\n<p><b>\"The interesting development over the past few days suggests that the markets are in a temporary stasis buying on dips as the fear of missing out prevails,\"</b>said Sebastien Galy, senior macro strategist at Nordea Asset Management. “<b>This is evident in the rotation into growth stocks which makes little sense in a time of likely rising interest rates as they are quite leveraged, though not all</b>.\" Still, Galy concluded that&nbsp; “we expect equity markets to continue to rebound in the coming weeks.\"</p>\n<p>In Europe, the Stoxx 600 Index gained 0.7%, led by the banking, hospitality and tech sectors. L’Oreal rose 2%, approaching an all-time high reached last week. Vodafone dropped 3.2% after its shares went ex-dividend. Here are some of the biggest European movers today:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Tecan shares rise as much as 16% to a record after the Swiss company said it will buy Paramit, a U.S. developer of medical devices and life science instruments, for $1b. The deal is Tecan’s biggest ever, according to Berenberg.</li>\n <li>Next Fifteen soars as much as 13% to a record as a trading update prompts price target upgrades from Peel Hunt and Berenberg.</li>\n <li>BioArctic rises as much as 13% in the stock’s steepest intraday advance since June 7 after the U.S. FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for lecanemab, an investigational anti-amyloid beta protofibril antibody for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.</li>\n <li>Crest Nicholson adds as much as 5.3% with analysts saying the homebuilder’s 1H results show trading remains strong and that it is making progress on its turnaround.</li>\n <li>Vifor Pharma Group falls as much as 4.5% after the pharmaceutical company revised the endpoints of one of its clinical trials as the pandemic affected enrollment.</li>\n <li>BT drops as much as 1.4% following the telecom operator’s enterprise business briefing, with UBS flagging ongoing headwinds, despite co. being “upbeat” on prospects for growth in the U.K. enterprise market.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Also in Europe, the euro shrugged off a stronger-than- forecast German Ifo business confidence survey to stay little changed. Germany's Ifo business climate index increased to 101.8 in June, well ahead of expectations.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bdfdd0481a62c52800df2793649454fe\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"243\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">The improvement was primarily driven by a better assessment of the current business environment, consistent with high-frequency data and the current conditions gauges across other surveys. Across sectors, services and trade saw the strongest acceleration in momentum as the reopening of Germany's economy gathered pace. Similarly, the Insee index measuring France's business conditions rose to 113.0 in June, also beating expectations, with gains concentrated in services and retail trade. Overall, the national surveys for June are consistent with our forecast of a strong rebound in economic activity in the second and third quarters.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a08b168f0fd0f3b6a254b8ad48455a6\" tg-width=\"749\" tg-height=\"755\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Earlier in the session, Asian&nbsp;stocks posted modest gains, supported by gains in Hong Kong, South Korea and India as investors assessed the latest remarks by Fed officials about the outlook for tapering measures. The MSCI&nbsp;Asia&nbsp;Pacific Index rose 0.1%, after dropping as much as 0.1%. India’s key stock gauges advanced to hold near recent record highs, with the country’s faster vaccination campaign continuing to boost investor sentiment.<b>China’s CSI 300 Index also climbed. The country’s central bank increased its injection of short-term cash into the financial system for the first time since March amid rising demand for liquidity.</b>Meanwhile, Thailand’s shares were among the worst performers in the region as pro-democracy protests returned to the streets and the central bank on Wednesday lowered its economic-growth outlook. “The overall picture is less dovish than it was,” said Ilya Spivak, head&nbsp;Asia&nbsp;Pacific strategist at DailyFX. “The APAC region is more sensitive, and we will see more volatility and downside risk because of companies’ exposure to dollar-denominated credit costs.” A gauge of 10-day historical volatility for shares has started flattening out after a spike following the Fed’s hawkish pivot last week. While a strengthening dollar is bad for&nbsp;Asian&nbsp;companies that borrow in the currency, some investors are expecting the region to be supported by longer-term Treasury yields that remain below 1.5% as well as attractive stock valuations. Among sectors, tech and material shares advanced, offsetting declines in defensives such as utilities.</p>\n<p>Key Indian stock gauges advanced to hold near recent all-time highs helped by gains in information technology companies, while the country’s faster vaccination campaign continued to boost investor sentiment. The S&amp;P BSE Sensex rose 0.8% to 52,699 in Mumbai after touching an intraday record of 53,057 on Tuesday. The NSE Nifty 50 Index also gained 0.7% to 15,790.45, near an all-time high reached last week. Eleven of the 19 sector sub-indexes compiled by BSE Ltd. climbed, led by a gauge of information technology companies. “We are in the middle of a bull phase which will last for a very, very long time,” Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, a billionaire investor known locally as India’s Warren Buffett, said in an interview earlier this month. “India will also look lucrative when the U.S. Federal Reserve begins to withdraw stimulus, but there will be short-term disruptions.” Index heavyweight Reliance Industries dropped 2.4% following its annual shareholders’ meeting, where Chairman Mukesh Ambani announced ambitious plans for clean energy as well as the conglomerate’s telecom business. The company’s plans include investing 750 billion rupees in clean energy over three years while it unveiled the much-awaited smartphone that has been co-developed with Alphabet Inc.’s Google. The rally in Indian shares is also being driven by the country’s pace of vaccinations. The Indian government said 6.5 million doses were administered in the 24 hours through Thursday morning, taking the total number of vaccinations to 301.6 million. “Markets are looking comfortable,” said Sandeep Jain, a strategist with Tradeswift Broking.</p>\n<p>In rates, Treasuries price action was choppy overnight, but yields broadly unchanged into early U.S. session with gilts outperforming following Bank of England policy decision. In 10-year sector gilts richer by 3bp vs. Treasuries, where yields sit around 1.487%. Treasury auctions conclude with $62b 7-year note sale at 1pm ET, follows solid 2- and 5-year auctions this week. WI 7-year yield at 1.26% is 2.5bp richer than May’s stop-out, which traded 0.6bp through. That said, futures volumes during&nbsp;Asia&nbsp;session were just 60% of recent averages.</p>\n<p>“U.S. Treasury yields have stayed close to the lows and the equity market continues to project a path for growth and earnings that is impossibly high in the long-run.” JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. said it may require employees to be vaccinated against Covid-19 as Wall Street’s biggest banks ramp up efforts to keep thousands of personnel safe while reopening U.S. workplaces.</p>\n<p>In FX, the Bloomberg Dollar Index fell to a day low in European hours as the greenback lost traction against most of its Group-of-10 peers, though most traded in narrow ranges. Scandinavian currencies led an advance amid a general improvement in risk sentiment; the Norwegian krone advanced as the price of Brent oil rose a second day. The euro shrugged off a stronger-than- forecast German Ifo business confidence survey to stay little changed. The sharp repricing in the front-end of the euro’s volatility skew makes case for the common currency to extend its rebound, possibly toward the $1.20 level. The pound swung to a gain against the greenback before the Bank of England meeting, with investors watching for any signs of the central bank shifting its messaging on inflation risks, even as it’s seen standing pat on interest rates at its meeting later on Thursday: see Decision Guide. The yen edged down to another 15-month low after weakening beyond 111 per dollar on Wednesday before erasing losses on demand over the Tokyo fixing.<b>South Korea’s won rose after central bank Governor&nbsp;Lee Ju-yeolsignaled interest-rate increases are in the pipeline.</b></p>\n<p>In commodities, it was a relatively uneventful and uninspiring session for the crude space thus far with WTI and Brent August’21 futures somewhat choppy throughout the morning but very much rangebound after flat APAC trade. The benchmarks post gains of 0.10/bbl and are around the mid-point of today’s range which is much more contained than the parameters of yesterday’s session, for instance. Fresh newsflow explicitly for the complex has been light and as such its very much a case of waiting for next week’s OPEC+ gathering given the weeks source reports and updates on the geopolitical front.<b>On this, attention around Iran is heightened as the IAEA agreement expires today ahead of a reported resumption in nuclear talks with the US from next week.</b></p>\n<p>Spot gold and silver have been firmer but remain in close proximity to unchanged levels deriving some impetus from the downbeat USD once again though upside is perhaps capped as yields are slightly higher. Base metals are pressured this morning with increasing attention on commodities broadly in China given inflation concerns. Elsewhere, UBS looks for a copper recovery in the next 6-12 months believing the market could be undersupplied by 603k/T and 461k/T in 2021 and 2022 respectively; for context, Glencore’s CEO said.</p>\n<p>Looking at the day ahead now, there are an array of central bank events, including the Bank of England’s monetary policy decision (discussed here),the release of the ECB’s Economic Bulletin, along with remarks from the Fed’s<b>Barkin, Bostic, Harker, Williams, Bullard and Kaplan</b>, and the ECB’s Panetta and Schnabel. Data releases from the US include the third estimate of Q1 GDP, the weekly initial jobless claims, the preliminary May reading for durable goods orders and the Kansas City Fed’s manufacturing index for June. Weekly initial jobless claims are expected to move back below 400,000 after last week’s surprise pop higher. This morning’s number may also show the impact of the gradual withdrawal of enhanced unemployment benefits from June 12 in some states.&nbsp; At 430pm the Federal Reserve will release its latest stress test results when markets close, with the big six banks expected to pass — paving the way for increased dividends and share buybacks.</p>\n<p><b>Market Snapshot</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>S&amp;P 500 futures up 0.4% to 4,249.75</li>\n <li>STOXX Europe 600 up 0.6% to 455.82</li>\n <li>German 10Y yield rose 0.6 bps to -0.171%</li>\n <li>Euro little changed at $1.1934</li>\n <li>MXAP little changed at 207.07</li>\n <li>MXAPJ up 0.2% to 695.30</li>\n <li>Nikkei little changed at 28,875.23</li>\n <li>Topix down 0.1% to 1,947.10</li>\n <li>Hang Seng Index up 0.2% to 28,882.46</li>\n <li>Shanghai Composite little changed at 3,566.65</li>\n <li>Sensex up 0.9% to 52,768.91</li>\n <li>Australia S&amp;P/ASX 200 down 0.3% to 7,275.27</li>\n <li>Kospi up 0.3% to 3,286.10</li>\n <li>Brent Futures up 0.6% to $75.65/bbl</li>\n <li>Gold spot up 0.1% to $1,780.92</li>\n <li>U.S. Dollar Index little changed at 91.74</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Top Overnight News from Bloomberg</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>China sued Australia over anti-dumping measures on some Chinese goods, further ratcheting up tensions between the two nations</li>\n <li>Australia &amp; New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. created a global fixed income trading business as part of a move to boost revenues across its franchises</li>\n <li>China’s central bank increased its short-term cash injection for the first time since March as it moved to soothe market concerns about liquidity conditions ahead of the quarter-end</li>\n <li>Advanced economies may need to rely more on fiscal spending if they want to avoid Japan’s fate of being trapped with low inflation and an empty monetary toolkit, according to new research from the ECB</li>\n</ul>\n<p><i>Quick look at global markets courtesy of Newsquawk</i></p>\n<p><b>Asia-Pac bourses saw a mixed and contained session following a lacklustre performance on Wall Street, where the S&amp;P 500 and DJIA closed with modest losses whilst the Nasdaq Composite squeezed out another record close, but off its intraday best of 14,317 for the cash, and 14,315.75 for the NQ.</b>Back to APAC, the ASX 200 (-0.3%) failed to benefit from the strong performance in its tech and mining names, whilst the Nikkei 225 (Unch) remained supported by softness in its currency, but the index is yet to convincingly breach 29k to the upside. The KOSPI (+0.4%) eked mild gains as a rise in June consumer confidence provided some positive omens. Hang Seng (+0.3%) and Shanghai Comp (U/C) traded within recent ranges as the region shrugged off the first increase in the PBoC's liquidity injection since March, albeit modest. In terms of stocks-specifics, Hoshine Silicon Industry shares slumped some 10% after Washington reportedly issued an order that blocks imports of solar panel materials from the Co. Finally, of note for the broader global chip sector, chip-giant TSMC flagged price hikes of 10-20% beginning next year, according to Chinese media.

Stateside, futures have picked up throughout the session (ES +0.4%) in tandem with their European counterparts. In the US, infrastructure talks continue to rumble on, albeit without causing much in the way of intraday price action. The latest updates have noted that a deal on the infrastructure framework has been reached among a bipartisan group of US senators; a meeting between the White House and the bipartisan group has been slated for later today. Back to Europe, sectors are mostly firmer and showing a largely pro-cyclical tilt as Financials, Basic Resources and Autos lead the charge. Travel &amp; Leisure names will be bracing themselves for the latest travel update from the UK, albeit some optimism for the sector has been tempered this week after German Chancellor Merkel urged EU nations to introduce quarantine measures for vaccinated Brits. The most notable corporate update thus far has come from Siemens (-0.5%) who sit at the foot of the DAX with investors unimpressed by its latest strategic blueprint which saw the Co. increase its growth target and launch a EUR 3bln share buyback between 2021-2026. Of note for chip names, reports in Chinese press suggested that TSMC is to hike prices by 10-20% in 2022.</p>\n<p><i>Top European News</i></p>\n<ul>\n <li>London West End Landlord Expects Retail Crisis to Get Even Worse</li>\n <li>Johnson to Convene London Summit as Capital Lags on Vaccines</li>\n <li>German, French Business Confidence Jumps as Lockdowns Ease</li>\n <li>European Insurance Stocks Undervalued, Berenberg Says</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>In FX,</b>the margins are quite fine, but the Kiwi and Franc are at opposite ends of the G10 table, with Nzd/Usd propped around 0.7050 within circa 0.7070-0.6935 w-t-d extremes, while Usd/Chf hovers nearer the top of its 0.9236-0.9155 range. The former is also outpacing its Antipodean peer ahead of NZ trade data, as the Aud/Nzd cross trades under 1.0750 and Aud/Usd pulls back from nigh on 0.7600 yesterday amidst ongoing Aussie-Chinese trade tensions. On that note, the latest riposte from Beijing has come via the WTO in the form of a lawsuit against Australia over anti-dumping measures. Elsewhere, the Euro is grinding higher vs the Buck in wake of all Ifo survey metrics surpassing expectations and prior readings in June along with relatively upbeat accompanying comments from the German institute, but Eur/Usd remains capped into 1.1950 and perhaps conscious of hefty option expiry interest down below (2 bn running off between 1.1930-20 at the NY cut).</p>\n<ul>\n <li>GBP/JPY - Sterling remains firm as the clock ticks down to high noon on Threadneedle Street, albeit not in great anticipation of a boost from the BoE given consensus for no change in policy or material shift in guidance. However, the MPC is widely tipped to be split on QE again with Haldane retaining his dissenting vote at this final meeting, if not joined by any other hawks – check out the Research Suite for a full preview of the event. Cable is currently straddling 1.3975 and staying technically bullish while above the 100 DMA circa 1.3949, while Eur/Gbp is back beneath 0.8550 and close to Wednesday’s multi-month lows around 0.8530. Meanwhile, the Yen has recovered from another retreat through 111.00 to give more credence to the notion that ample supply resides beyond the round number, and probably on behalf of Japanese exporters looking to hedge exposure. Moreover, option expiries at the 111.30 strike (1.12 bn) may keep Usd/Jpy in check and similar size at 110.75 (1.153 bn) underpinned.</li>\n <li>CAD/USD - The Loonie remains tethered to the 1.2300 handle vs its US rival and still deriving a degree of traction from firm oil prices awaiting Canadian manufacturing sales for potential independent direction, but the Greenback appears more likely to glean fundamental impetus from a packed agenda including prime data, more Fed speakers and 7 year supply. In the interim, chart levels could be key and influential for the DXY as the index holds in a tight range (91.873-700) following its failure to maintain 92.000+ status and midweek shave with 91.500 that is just shy of the 200 DMA.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>In commodities,</b>a relatively uneventful and uninspiring session for the crude space thus far with WTI and Brent August’21 futures somewhat choppy throughout the morning but very much rangebound after flat APAC trade. Currently, the benchmarks post gains of circa. USD 0.10/bbl and are around the mid-point of today’s range which is much more contained than the parameters of yesterday’s session, for instance. Fresh newsflow explicitly for the complex has been light and as such its very much a case of waiting for next week’s OPEC+ gathering given the weeks source reports and updates on the geopolitical front. On this, attention around Iran is heightened as the IAEA agreement expires today ahead of a reported resumption in nuclear talks with the US from next week. Moving to metals, spot gold and silver have been erring firmer but remain in close proximity to unchanged levels deriving some impetus from the downbeat USD once again though upside is perhaps capped as yields are slightly higher. Base metals are pressured this morning with increasing attention on commodities broadly in China given inflation concerns. Elsewhere, UBS looks for a copper recovery in the next 6-12 months believing the market could be undersupplied by 603k/T and 461k/T in 2021 and 2022 respectively; for context, Glencore’s CEO said.</p>\n<p><b>US Event Calendar</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>8:30am: May Durable Goods Orders, est. 2.8%, prior -1.3%; Less Transportation, est. 0.7%, prior 1.0%</li>\n <li>8:30am: 1Q GDP Annualized QoQ, est. 6.4%, prior 6.4%</li>\n <li>8:30am: June Initial Jobless Claims, est. 380,000, prior 412,000; Continuing Claims, est. 3.46m, prior 3.52m</li>\n <li>8:30am: May Advance Goods Trade Balance, est. -$87.5b, prior -$85.2b, revised -$85.7b</li>\n <li>8:30am: May Retail Inventories MoM, est. -0.5%, prior -1.6%, revised -1.8%; Wholesale Inventories MoM, est. 0.8%, prior 0.8%</li>\n <li>11am: June Kansas City Fed Manf.

In fact, for some areas it was as though last week’s moves had never happened, since although inflation expectations moved sharply lower straight after the Fed’s hawkish shift a week ago, with 10yr breakevens down to 2.24% by the close on Friday, they’ve since recovered +11.2bps over the 3 days this week to put them roughly back in line with where they were in the week before the Fed meeting. It was a similar story for equities, with the NASDAQ (+0.13%) eking out a gain to hit another all-time high, whilst the S&amp;P 500 (-0.11%) slipped back slightly, but still remained less than 0.5% away from its record close last week. So overall, markets for now seem to be more relaxed again about the Fed and inflation risks, even if they’re still pricing in a faster hiking cycle than the Fed themselves indicated in the dots last week.</p>\n<p>Paradoxically, the bigger risk-off moves came in Europe yesterday, where the STOXX 600 fell -0.73% in spite of some decent flash PMI reports from across the continent. To run through those, the Euro Area composite PMI came in at an above-expected 59.2 (vs. 58.8 expected), which marked the strongest pace of growth seen in 15 years for the single-currency bloc. That increase came as the services PMI rebounded strongly, climbing to 58.0 as expected (from 55.2 last month), whilst the manufacturing PMI remained unchanged from last month at 63.1. Germany in particular outperformed expectations, with their composite PMI up to 60.4, (vs. 57.6 expected) which is its highest since March 2011, whereas France slightly underwhelmed as the composite PMI only rose to 57.1 (vs. 59.0 expected). That said, inflation continued to be a notable theme and the PMIs pointed to noticeable price pressures in the Euro Area for both services and manufacturing.</p>\n<p>Speaking of price pressures, yesterday marked another strong session for commodities as they were another asset class that continued to put last week’s selloff behind them. In fact by the close, Brent crude (+0.51%) hit a fresh 2-year high of $75.19/bbl, while WTI (+0.03%) was just short of its own recent high. The continued gains for oil come amidst a tightening market, with the EIA in the US reporting that crude oil inventories fell -7.61m barrels, which is the 5th consecutive weekly decline, just as various economies are reopening again in light of the vaccine rollout. Other commodities also made gains in addition to oil, with metals including copper (+2.38%) rising on the day, along with agricultural prices such as corn (+0.68%) and wheat (+1.57%).</p>\n<p>Overnight in Asia, markets are trading mixed with the Nikkei (+0.16%) and Kospi (+0.41%) advancing, the Hang Seng (+0.04%) currently flat and the Shanghai Comp (-0.15%) moving lower. There were also fresh headlines on the US-China relationship, as Bloomberg reported the US is likely to impose a ban on some Chinese solar products made in the region of Xinjiang where China has been accused of committing human rights abuses. Elsewhere, US equity futures are pointing to further gains later, with those on the S&amp;P 500 up +0.29%.</p>\n<p>Looking ahead now, one of the main highlights today will be the Bank of England’s latest decision, out as 12:00 London time. In their preview (link here) our UK economists write that they expect the Monetary Policy Committee to remain cautiously optimistic around the recovery, keeping the policy rate on hold at 0.1%, and maintaining the target stock of QE at £895bn. They’re also not expecting big changes in the minutes and policy statement, but the risks are shifting towards a more hawkish MPC in the very near-term, with economic data tracking slightly better than the BoE expected in May.</p>\n<p>Staying on the UK, there was a geopolitical incident with Russia yesterday in the Black Sea, albeit with the two sides offering different descriptions of what took place. Russia said that a UK ship entered waters it claims as its own and ignored radio warnings, not leaving until bombs were dropped on its course. But the press office for the UK’s Ministry of Defence tweeted that the ship was “conducting innocent passage through Ukrainian territorial waters in accordance with international law”, and said that they didn’t recognise the claim that bombs were dropped on its path.</p>\n<p>There were also headlines on Russia in the FT, which reported yesterday that Germany and France had called for the EU to engage Russia more closely, building on the meeting that took place last week between Presidents Biden and Putin. According to the story, Chancellor Merkel and President Macron were in favour of inviting Putin to an EU leaders’ summit, and comes ahead of a summit taking place in Brussels later today among EU leaders, where the bloc’s relations with Russia are on the agenda for discussion.</p>\n<p>Over in the US, there was some movement in infrastructure talks as a bipartisan group of senators will be meeting with President Biden later today at the White House to present their outline of a $579bn package on roads, bridges and other physical projects. The Senate leaves for a two week recess starting Friday, so this is likely to be the last newsflow on any potential deal until mid-July. While the Republican senators in the group have dropped a potential gas tax, there remains significant disagreements on how to pay for the spending. Some more left-leaning Senate Democrats continue to ask the White House and Congressional leadership for a promise on a second more expansive bill through the reconciliation process. If both bills make it through Congress, it could amount to $2-3 trillion of additional government spending.</p>\n<p>Turning to the latest on the pandemic, there were further signs of concern in the UK as 16,135 new cases were reported yesterday, which is the highest daily total since February 6. And over the last week as a whole, cases are up +44% compared to the previous one. Nevertheless, there was some better news from the country, as data confirmed that over 60% of the adult population had now been fully vaccinated with both doses. Elsewhere, Switzerland confirmed that restrictions on entering the country would be relaxed, with those entering from the Schengen Area no longer required to quarantine, and testing requirements would now only apply to those coming by plane who’ve not been vaccinated or not recovered from Covid-19.Meanwhile, Brazil announced their largest one-day rise in Covid-19 cases yet (115,228) even as the vaccination programs have started to gather momentum. The country’s weekly case count surpassed India for the highest in the world last week, while much of South America is starting a new wave of infections just as their winter starts.</p>\n<p>There wasn’t much in the way of Federal Reserve speakers yesterday, though we did hear from Governor Bowman, who didn’t discuss the policy outlook but said that the “upward price pressures may ease as the bottlenecks are worked out, but it could take some time, and I will continue to monitor the situation closely and will adjust my outlook as needed.” Otherwise Atlanta Fed President Bostic (who’s an FOMC voter this year) said that he’d pulled forward his projection for the first hike in rates to late 2022 “given the upside surprises in recent data points”. Boston Fed President Rosengren (an alternate voting member this year) later played down the risks of persistent inflation, saying his “expectation is that most of the price increases we are seeing this year will be reversed as we get into next year.”</p>\n<p>Rounding off the rest of yesterday’s data, US new home sales unexpectedly fell to an annualised rate of 769k in May (vs. 865k expected), declining from a downwardly revised 817k in April. Separately, the current account deficit in Q1 widened to $195.7bn (vs. $206.2bn expected), and the composite PMI fell to 63.9 in June following its record high of 68.7 in May.</p>\n<p>To the day ahead now, and there are an array of central bank events, including the Bank of England’s monetary policy decision, the release of the ECB’s Economic Bulletin, along with remarks from the Fed’s Barkin, Bostic, Harker, Williams, Bullard and Kaplan, and the ECB’s Panetta and Schnabel. Data releases from the US include the third estimate of Q1 GDP, the weekly initial jobless claims, the preliminary May reading for durable goods orders and the Kansas City Fed’s manufacturing index for June. Meanwhile in Germany, the Ifo Institute’s business climate indicator for June will be coming out. Finally, EU leaders will gather in Brussels today for a European Council meeting.</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 Jump To All Time Highs Ahead Of Fed Speaker, Econ Data Frenzy</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;

First Solar climbed as the U.S. was said to be on the verge of barring some solar products made in China’s Xinjiang region. Mega-cap tech names Alphabet, Nvidia, Microsoft, Netflix and Facebook also gained between 0.4% and 0.6%, setting the Nasdaq for a record open. MGM Resorts International rose 2.7% after Deutsche Bank upgraded the casino operator’s stock to “buy” from “hold”.\nHere are some of the biggest U.S. movers today:\n\nRetail trader favorites gain in premarket trading with Clover Health (CLOV) rising 5.5% and Sundial (SNDL) gaining 6%.\nDaqo New Energy (DQ) drops 6.8% and JinkoSolar (JKS) slides 1.5% with the U.S. poised to block some solar products made in China’s Xinjiang region.\nInformation technology services provider DHI Group (DHX) surges 18% after the company’s board authorized a stock buyback program of up to $12 million.\nIndia Globalization Capital (IGC) rallies 35% after announcing it completed the final cohort of its Phase 1 clinical trial on its tetrahydrocannabinol drug, intended to alleviate Alzheimer’s disease symptoms.\n\nSo far this week, the value index, which includes economy-linked energy, financial and industrial stocks, and its tech-heavy growth counterpart are both up almost 1.8% following the Federal Reserve’s hawkish forecast from a week ago.\nOn Wednesday, Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan said the economy will likely meet the Fed’s threshold for tapering asset purchases sooner than people think, while his Atlanta peer Raphael Bostic said the central bank could decide to slow such purchases in the next few months. Despite the ongoing hawkish commentary, markets pushed higher realizing that the Fed can never again let stocks drop or else the entire ponzi scheme risks collapsing.\nIndeed, stock buyers have shaken off the hawkish turn by the Federal Reserve and are now viewing it as a way to bring inflation under control, according to Sebastien Galy, a Luxembourg-based strategist at Nordea Investment Funds.\n\"The interesting development over the past few days suggests that the markets are in a temporary stasis buying on dips as the fear of missing out prevails,\"said Sebastien Galy, senior macro strategist at Nordea Asset Management. “This is evident in the rotation into growth stocks which makes little sense in a time of likely rising interest rates as they are quite leveraged, though not all.\" Still, Galy concluded that  “we expect equity markets to continue to rebound in the coming weeks.\"\nIn Europe, the Stoxx 600 Index gained 0.7%, led by the banking, hospitality and tech sectors. L’Oreal rose 2%, approaching an all-time high reached last week. Vodafone dropped 3.2% after its shares went ex-dividend. Here are some of the biggest European movers today:\n\nTecan shares rise as much as 16% to a record after the Swiss company said it will buy Paramit, a U.S. developer of medical devices and life science instruments, for $1b. The deal is Tecan’s biggest ever, according to Berenberg.\nNext Fifteen soars as much as 13% to a record as a trading update prompts price target upgrades from Peel Hunt and Berenberg.\nBioArctic rises as much as 13% in the stock’s steepest intraday advance since June 7 after the U.S. FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for lecanemab, an investigational anti-amyloid beta protofibril antibody for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.\nCrest Nicholson adds as much as 5.3% with analysts saying the homebuilder’s 1H results show trading remains strong and that it is making progress on its turnaround.\nVifor Pharma Group falls as much as 4.5% after the pharmaceutical company revised the endpoints of one of its clinical trials as the pandemic affected enrollment.\nBT drops as much as 1.4% following the telecom operator’s enterprise business briefing, with UBS flagging ongoing headwinds, despite co. being “upbeat” on prospects for growth in the U.K. enterprise market.\n\nAlso in Europe, the euro shrugged off a stronger-than- forecast German Ifo business confidence survey to stay little changed. Germany's Ifo business climate index increased to 101.8 in June, well ahead of expectations.\nThe improvement was primarily driven by a better assessment of the current business environment, consistent with high-frequency data and the current conditions gauges across other surveys. Across sectors, services and trade saw the strongest acceleration in momentum as the reopening of Germany's economy gathered pace. Similarly, the Insee index measuring France's business conditions rose to 113.0 in June, also beating expectations, with gains concentrated in services and retail trade. Overall, the national surveys for June are consistent with our forecast of a strong rebound in economic activity in the second and third quarters.\nEarlier in the session, Asian stocks posted modest gains, supported by gains in Hong Kong, South Korea and India as investors assessed the latest remarks by Fed officials about the outlook for tapering measures. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose 0.1%, after dropping as much as 0.1%. India’s key stock gauges advanced to hold near recent record highs, with the country’s faster vaccination campaign continuing to boost investor sentiment.China’s CSI 300 Index also climbed. The country’s central bank increased its injection of short-term cash into the financial system for the first time since March amid rising demand for liquidity.Meanwhile, Thailand’s shares were among the worst performers in the region as pro-democracy protests returned to the streets and the central bank on Wednesday lowered its economic-growth outlook. “The overall picture is less dovish than it was,” said Ilya Spivak, head Asia Pacific strategist at DailyFX. “The APAC region is more sensitive, and we will see more volatility and downside risk because of companies’ exposure to dollar-denominated credit costs.” A gauge of 10-day historical volatility for shares has started flattening out after a spike following the Fed’s hawkish pivot last week. While a strengthening dollar is bad for Asian companies that borrow in the currency, some investors are expecting the region to be supported by longer-term Treasury yields that remain below 1.5% as well as attractive stock valuations. Among sectors, tech and material shares advanced, offsetting declines in defensives such as utilities.\nKey Indian stock gauges advanced to hold near recent all-time highs helped by gains in information technology companies, while the country’s faster vaccination campaign continued to boost investor sentiment. The S&P BSE Sensex rose 0.8% to 52,699 in Mumbai after touching an intraday record of 53,057 on Tuesday. The NSE Nifty 50 Index also gained 0.7% to 15,790.45, near an all-time high reached last week. Eleven of the 19 sector sub-indexes compiled by BSE Ltd. climbed, led by a gauge of information technology companies. “We are in the middle of a bull phase which will last for a very, very long time,” Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, a billionaire investor known locally as India’s Warren Buffett, said in an interview earlier this month. “India will also look lucrative when the U.S. Federal Reserve begins to withdraw stimulus, but there will be short-term disruptions.” Index heavyweight Reliance Industries dropped 2.4% following its annual shareholders’ meeting, where Chairman Mukesh Ambani announced ambitious plans for clean energy as well as the conglomerate’s telecom business. The company’s plans include investing 750 billion rupees in clean energy over three years while it unveiled the much-awaited smartphone that has been co-developed with Alphabet Inc.’s Google. The rally in Indian shares is also being driven by the country’s pace of vaccinations. The Indian government said 6.5 million doses were administered in the 24 hours through Thursday morning, taking the total number of vaccinations to 301.6 million. “Markets are looking comfortable,” said Sandeep Jain, a strategist with Tradeswift Broking.\nIn rates, Treasuries price action was choppy overnight, but yields broadly unchanged into early U.S. session with gilts outperforming following Bank of England policy decision. In 10-year sector gilts richer by 3bp vs. Treasuries, where yields sit around 1.487%. Treasury auctions conclude with $62b 7-year note sale at 1pm ET, follows solid 2- and 5-year auctions this week. WI 7-year yield at 1.26% is 2.5bp richer than May’s stop-out, which traded 0.6bp through. That said, futures volumes during Asia session were just 60% of recent averages.\n“U.S. Treasury yields have stayed close to the lows and the equity market continues to project a path for growth and earnings that is impossibly high in the long-run.” JPMorgan Chase & Co. said it may require employees to be vaccinated against Covid-19 as Wall Street’s biggest banks ramp up efforts to keep thousands of personnel safe while reopening U.S. workplaces.\nIn FX, the Bloomberg Dollar Index fell to a day low in European hours as the greenback lost traction against most of its Group-of-10 peers, though most traded in narrow ranges. Scandinavian currencies led an advance amid a general improvement in risk sentiment; the Norwegian krone advanced as the price of Brent oil rose a second day. The euro shrugged off a stronger-than- forecast German Ifo business confidence survey to stay little changed. The sharp repricing in the front-end of the euro’s volatility skew makes case for the common currency to extend its rebound, possibly toward the $1.20 level. The pound swung to a gain against the greenback before the Bank of England meeting, with investors watching for any signs of the central bank shifting its messaging on inflation risks, even as it’s seen standing pat on interest rates at its meeting later on Thursday: see Decision Guide.

Data releases from the US include the third estimate of Q1 GDP, the weekly initial jobless claims, the preliminary May reading for durable goods orders and the Kansas City Fed’s manufacturing index for June. Weekly initial jobless claims are expected to move back below 400,000 after last week’s surprise pop higher.

Stateside, futures have picked up throughout the session (ES +0.4%) in tandem with their European counterparts. In the US, infrastructure talks continue to rumble on, albeit without causing much in the way of intraday price action. The latest updates have noted that a deal on the infrastructure framework has been reached among a bipartisan group of US senators; a meeting between the White House and the bipartisan group has been slated for later today. Back to Europe, sectors are mostly firmer and showing a largely pro-cyclical tilt as Financials, Basic Resources and Autos lead the charge. Travel & Leisure names will be bracing themselves for the latest travel update from the UK, albeit some optimism for the sector has been tempered this week after German Chancellor Merkel urged EU nations to introduce quarantine measures for vaccinated Brits. The most notable corporate update thus far has come from Siemens (-0.5%) who sit at the foot of the DAX with investors unimpressed by its latest strategic blueprint which saw the Co. increase its growth target and launch a EUR 3bln share buyback between 2021-2026.

The former is also outpacing its Antipodean peer ahead of NZ trade data, as the Aud/Nzd cross trades under 1.0750 and Aud/Usd pulls back from nigh on 0.7600 yesterday amidst ongoing Aussie-Chinese trade tensions. On that note, the latest riposte from Beijing has come via the WTO in the form of a lawsuit against Australia over anti-dumping measures. Elsewhere, the Euro is grinding higher vs the Buck in wake of all Ifo survey metrics surpassing expectations and prior readings in June along with relatively upbeat accompanying comments from the German institute, but Eur/Usd remains capped into 1.1950 and perhaps conscious of hefty option expiry interest down below (2 bn running off between 1.1930-20 at the NY cut).\n\nGBP/JPY - Sterling remains firm as the clock ticks down to high noon on Threadneedle Street, albeit not in great anticipation of a boost from the BoE given consensus for no change in policy or material shift in guidance. However, the MPC is widely tipped to be split on QE again with Haldane retaining his dissenting vote at this final meeting, if not joined by any other hawks – check out the Research Suite for a full preview of the event. Cable is currently straddling 1.3975 and staying technically bullish while above the 100 DMA circa 1.3949, while Eur/Gbp is back beneath 0.8550 and close to Wednesday’s multi-month lows around 0.8530. Meanwhile, the Yen has recovered from another retreat through 111.00 to give more credence to the notion that ample supply resides beyond the round number, and probably on behalf of Japanese exporters looking to hedge exposure. Moreover, option expiries at the 111.30 strike (1.12 bn) may keep Usd/Jpy in check and similar size at 110.75 (1.153 bn) underpinned.\nCAD/USD - The Loonie remains tethered to the 1.2300 handle vs its US rival and still deriving a degree of traction from firm oil prices awaiting Canadian manufacturing sales for potential independent direction, but the Greenback appears more likely to glean fundamental impetus from a packed agenda including prime data, more Fed speakers and 7 year supply. In the interim, chart levels could be key and influential for the DXY as the index holds in a tight range (91.873-700) following its failure to maintain 92.000+ status and midweek shave with 91.500 that is just shy of the 200 DMA.\n\nIn commodities,a relatively uneventful and uninspiring session for the crude space thus far with WTI and Brent August’21 futures somewhat choppy throughout the morning but very much rangebound after flat APAC trade.

In fact, for some areas it was as though last week’s moves had never happened, since although inflation expectations moved sharply lower straight after the Fed’s hawkish shift a week ago, with 10yr breakevens down to 2.24% by the close on Friday, they’ve since recovered +11.2bps over the 3 days this week to put them roughly back in line with where they were in the week before the Fed meeting. It was a similar story for equities, with the NASDAQ (+0.13%) eking out a gain to hit another all-time high, whilst the S&P 500 (-0.11%) slipped back slightly, but still remained less than 0.5% away from its record close last week. So overall, markets for now seem to be more relaxed again about the Fed and inflation risks, even if they’re still pricing in a faster hiking cycle than the Fed themselves indicated in the dots last week.\nParadoxically, the bigger risk-off moves came in Europe yesterday, where the STOXX 600 fell -0.73% in spite of some decent flash PMI reports from across the continent. To run through those, the Euro Area composite PMI came in at an above-expected 59.2 (vs. 58.8 expected), which marked the strongest pace of growth seen in 15 years for the single-currency bloc. That increase came as the services PMI rebounded strongly, climbing to 58.0 as expected (from 55.2 last month), whilst the manufacturing PMI remained unchanged from last month at 63.1. Germany in particular outperformed expectations, with their composite PMI up to 60.4, (vs. 57.6 expected) which is its highest since March 2011, whereas France slightly underwhelmed as the composite PMI only rose to 57.1 (vs. 59.0 expected). That said, inflation continued to be a notable theme and the PMIs pointed to noticeable price pressures in the Euro Area for both services and manufacturing.\nSpeaking of price pressures, yesterday marked another strong session for commodities as they were another asset class that continued to put last week’s selloff behind them. In fact by the close, Brent crude (+0.51%) hit a fresh 2-year high of $75.19/bbl, while WTI (+0.03%) was just short of its own recent high. The continued gains for oil come amidst a tightening market, with the EIA in the US reporting that crude oil inventories fell -7.61m barrels, which is the 5th consecutive weekly decline, just as various economies are reopening again in light of the vaccine rollout. Other commodities also made gains in addition to oil, with metals including copper (+2.38%) rising on the day, along with agricultural prices such as corn (+0.68%) and wheat (+1.57%).\nOvernight in Asia, markets are trading mixed with the Nikkei (+0.16%) and Kospi (+0.41%) advancing, the Hang Seng (+0.04%) currently flat and the Shanghai Comp (-0.15%) moving lower. There were also fresh headlines on the US-China relationship, as Bloomberg reported the US is likely to impose a ban on some Chinese solar products made in the region of Xinjiang where China has been accused of committing human rights abuses. Elsewhere, US equity futures are pointing to further gains later, with those on the S&P 500 up +0.29%.\nLooking ahead now, one of the main highlights today will be the Bank of England’s latest decision, out as 12:00 London time. In their preview (link here) our UK economists write that they expect the Monetary Policy Committee to remain cautiously optimistic around the recovery, keeping the policy rate on hold at 0.1%, and maintaining the target stock of QE at £895bn. They’re also not expecting big changes in the minutes and policy statement, but the risks are shifting towards a more hawkish MPC in the very near-term, with economic data tracking slightly better than the BoE expected in May.\nStaying on the UK, there was a geopolitical incident with Russia yesterday in the Black Sea, albeit with the two sides offering different descriptions of what took place. Russia said that a UK ship entered waters it claims as its own and ignored radio warnings, not leaving until bombs were dropped on its course. But the press office for the UK’s Ministry of Defence tweeted that the ship was “conducting innocent passage through Ukrainian territorial waters in accordance with international law”, and said that they didn’t recognise the claim that bombs were dropped on its path.\nThere were also headlines on Russia in the FT, which reported yesterday that Germany and France had called for the EU to engage Russia more closely, building on the meeting that took place last week between Presidents Biden and Putin. According to the story, Chancellor Merkel and President Macron were in favour of inviting Putin to an EU leaders’ summit, and comes ahead of a summit taking place in Brussels later today among EU leaders, where the bloc’s relations with Russia are on the agenda for discussion.\nOver in the US, there was some movement in infrastructure talks as a bipartisan group of senators will be meeting with President Biden later today at the White House to present their outline of a $579bn package on roads, bridges and other physical projects. The Senate leaves for a two week recess starting Friday, so this is likely to be the last newsflow on any potential deal until mid-July. While the Republican senators in the group have dropped a potential gas tax, there remains significant disagreements on how to pay for the spending. Some more left-leaning Senate Democrats continue to ask the White House and Congressional leadership for a promise on a second more expansive bill through the reconciliation process. If both bills make it through Congress, it could amount to $2-3 trillion of additional government spending.\nTurning to the latest on the pandemic, there were further signs of concern in the UK as 16,135 new cases were reported yesterday, which is the highest daily total since February 6. And over the last week as a whole, cases are up +44% compared to the previous one. Nevertheless, there was some better news from the country, as data confirmed that over 60% of the adult population had now been fully vaccinated with both doses. Elsewhere, Switzerland confirmed that restrictions on entering the country would be relaxed, with those entering from the Schengen Area no longer required to quarantine, and testing requirements would now only apply to those coming by plane who’ve not been vaccinated or not recovered from Covid-19.Meanwhile, Brazil announced their largest one-day rise in Covid-19 cases yet (115,228) even as the vaccination programs have started to gather momentum. The country’s weekly case count surpassed India for the highest in the world last week, while much of South America is starting a new wave of infections just as their winter starts.\nThere wasn’t much in the way of Federal Reserve speakers yesterday, though we did hear from Governor Bowman, who didn’t discuss the policy outlook but said that the “upward price pressures may ease as the bottlenecks are worked out, but it could take some time, and I will continue to monitor the situation closely and will adjust my outlook as needed.” Otherwise Atlanta Fed President Bostic (who’s an FOMC voter this year) said that he’d pulled forward his projection for the first hike in rates to late 2022 “given the upside surprises in recent data points”. Boston Fed President Rosengren (an alternate voting member this year) later played down the risks of persistent inflation, saying his “expectation is that most of the price increases we are seeing this year will be reversed as we get into next year.”\nRounding off the rest of yesterday’s data, US new home sales unexpectedly fell to an annualised rate of 769k in May (vs. 865k expected), declining from a downwardly revised 817k in April. Separately, the current account deficit in Q1 widened to $195.7bn (vs. $206.2bn expected), and the composite PMI fell to 63.9 in June following its record high of 68.7 in May.\nTo the day ahead now, and there are an array of central bank events, including the Bank of England’s monetary policy decision, the release of the ECB’s Economic Bulletin, along with remarks from the Fed’s Barkin, Bostic, Harker, Williams, Bullard and Kaplan, and the ECB’s Panetta and Schnabel. Data releases from the US include the third estimate of Q1 GDP, the weekly initial jobless claims, the preliminary May reading for durable goods orders and the Kansas City Fed’s manufacturing index for June. Meanwhile in Germany, the Ifo Institute’s business climate indicator for June will be coming out. Finally, EU leaders will gather in Brussels today for a European Council meeting.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":200,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":126030301,"gmtCreate":1624536515503,"gmtModify":1703839654198,"author":{"id":"3581933019930023","authorId":"3581933019930023","name":"grondo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581933019930023","authorIdStr":"3581933019930023"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/126030301","repostId":"1187819280","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1187819280","pubTimestamp":1624529642,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1187819280?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-24 18:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The ‘shelter in suburbia’ trade is about to reverse — and these stocks will suffer","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1187819280","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"5 reasons the pandemic megatrend is over.\n\nOne of the biggest investment stories of the COVID-19 pan","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>5 reasons the pandemic megatrend is over.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>One of the biggest investment stories of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the boom in consumer discretionary stocks with a “shelter in suburbia” theme. From e-commerce platforms to home improvement stores to furniture and housewares merchants, many of the top performers have fit this flavor.</p>\n<p>Take the broad-based Vanguard Consumer Discretionary Index Fund ETF VCR, +0.66% that surged more than 90% from March 2020 to March 2021. That was thanks to components like home improvement stocks Lowe’s LOW, -0.30% and Home Depot HD, -0.33% alongside retailers like TJX TJX, -0.08%.</p>\n<p>Lately, however, performance has started to lag for many of these names. In fact, since April 1 we’ve seen these three stocks all drift slightly into the red even as the S&amp;P 500 SPX, -0.11% has tacked on about 6% in the same period.</p>\n<p>And some fear that may only be the beginning. As one Wall Street insider said recently in a Bloomberg interview, a “huge unwind” is coming for stay-at-home stocks, including hardware stores and home-goods merchants.</p>\n<p>While some big-name “suburbia” trades are still relatively stable, signs of trouble are already emerging at the fringes. Century Communities CCS, -0.34% and Dream Finders Homes DFH, -2.55%, two mid-tier single family homebuilders, have seen shares crash by double digits over the last month. On the furnishings side, appliance giant Whirlpool Corporation WHR, -0.51% and department store Nordstrom JWN, +2.03% are down sharply from their spring highs.</p>\n<p><b>Here are five big reasons why:</b></p>\n<p><b>1.</b>&nbsp;<b>The upgrade cycle is over</b></p>\n<p>Last summer, white-collar workers who were stuck at home made note of overdue projects and took advantage of being able to easily meet with contractors. But in many ways, this growth is not sustainable.</p>\n<p>Consider the kind of purchases homeowners were making according to data from the NPD Group. Faucets, kitchen cabinets and even toilets were among the most popular products sold in 2020. Needless to say, even the most profligate homeowners aren’t going to follow this upgrade cycle of remodeling kitchens and bathrooms on an annual basis.</p>\n<p>The same is true for furniture and other home goods. Internet giant Comscore recorded the highest visitation to related websites in history in May 2020 with 133 million web surfers shopping for some kind of home goods. Once again, a new couch or lamp is not an annual purchase — so this trend seems unsustainable for much longer.</p>\n<p><b>2.&nbsp;Valuations are stretched</b></p>\n<p>Speaking of post-pandemic peaks for home-goods purveyors, we’ve seen the financials bear out these big increases via boosted profits and sales. However, we’ve also seen the stock of many related merchants surge even more — stretching their valuations from historical norms.</p>\n<p>Take TJX. Currently this discount retailer has a forward price-to-earnings ratio of more than 26, compared with a forward P/E of just 21 in spring 2020. Its trailing price-to-sales ratio is now 2.1 compared with 1.4.</p>\n<p>What’s more, valuations for previous darlings like TJX are out of line with peers, too. Consider the forward P/E of the overall S&amp;P 500 index is 22 right now, and other similar names like Macy’s M, +0.70% and Big Lots BIG, -3.71% actually have forward P/E ratios well under 10. You can argue TJX is unique, of course… but you also may want to be aware of what “fair value” looks like for many other stocks outside fashionable stay-at-home trades right now.</p>\n<p><b>3.&nbsp;Delays and shortages</b></p>\n<p>Future growth from pandemic-fueled peaks in these stocks is not impossible, of course. But given supply chain disruptions it seems highly unlikely. There are a host of reasons for these delays, including overseas shipping delays as well as capacity and output crunches that are affecting many industries, but “stay at home” stocks seem particularly hard hit.</p>\n<p>Home improvement products are simply nowhere to be found, with roughly 94% of builders reporting “at least some serious shortages of appliances” according to the National Association of Home Builders. Another 93% are running short on framing lumber and 87% say it is hard to obtain windows and doors.</p>\n<p>Even if you can get past demand concerns, without the raw materials to get to work it’s very hard to see future growth in this category.</p>\n<p><b>4.&nbsp;Inflationary pressures</b></p>\n<p>For the people who haven’t already ponied up the cash for a contractor or made their peace with extended delays for their expensive new furniture, there is a pretty big disincentive right now for new shoppers: inflation.</p>\n<p>The cost of living as measured by the Consumer Price Index jumped 0.6% in May to run at a 5% annual rate. That was not only higher than expectations, but the fastest pace since the summer of 2008. The inflation risks were so pronounced that the Federal Reserve publicly stated it could move up the schedule for expected interest rate increases to keep the risks under wraps.</p>\n<p>Inflation isn’t always a death knell, of course. But it has historically eroded purchasing power and could curtail some of the spending in “stay at home” stocks that we’ve seen in the last year or so.</p>\n<p><b>5.&nbsp;Home-equity hubris</b></p>\n<p>Speaking of red-hot inflation: In May, the median price for U.S. homes topped $350,000 for the first time ever — up 23.6% from 2020. What’s more, a Realtor.com survey showed roughly a third of selling homeowners expect to get more than their asking price, and roughly the same amount expect an offer within a week of listing.</p>\n<p>Some of this is justifiable. Many articles have been written in recent years about the dearth of supply in attractive markets, and it’s important to acknowledge the remote work of the pandemic has indeed created some disruptive introspection into why people live where they do.</p>\n<p>But here’s where things get dicey: homeowners who have already spent the expected premium on their home’s price well in advance.

From e-commerce platforms to home improvement stores to furniture and housewares merchants, many of the top performers have fit this flavor.\nTake the broad-based Vanguard Consumer Discretionary Index Fund ETF VCR, +0.66% that surged more than 90% from March 2020 to March 2021. That was thanks to components like home improvement stocks Lowe’s LOW, -0.30% and Home Depot HD, -0.33% alongside retailers like TJX TJX, -0.08%.\nLately, however, performance has started to lag for many of these names. In fact, since April 1 we’ve seen these three stocks all drift slightly into the red even as the S&P 500 SPX, -0.11% has tacked on about 6% in the same period.\nAnd some fear that may only be the beginning. As one Wall Street insider said recently in a Bloomberg interview, a “huge unwind” is coming for stay-at-home stocks, including hardware stores and home-goods merchants.\nWhile some big-name “suburbia” trades are still relatively stable, signs of trouble are already emerging at the fringes. Century Communities CCS, -0.34% and Dream Finders Homes DFH, -2.55%, two mid-tier single family homebuilders, have seen shares crash by double digits over the last month. On the furnishings side, appliance giant Whirlpool Corporation WHR, -0.51% and department store Nordstrom JWN, +2.03% are down sharply from their spring highs.\nHere are five big reasons why:\n1. The upgrade cycle is over\nLast summer, white-collar workers who were stuck at home made note of overdue projects and took advantage of being able to easily meet with contractors. But in many ways, this growth is not sustainable.\nConsider the kind of purchases homeowners were making according to data from the NPD Group. Faucets, kitchen cabinets and even toilets were among the most popular products sold in 2020. Needless to say, even the most profligate homeowners aren’t going to follow this upgrade cycle of remodeling kitchens and bathrooms on an annual basis.\nThe same is true for furniture and other home goods. Internet giant Comscore recorded the highest visitation to related websites in history in May 2020 with 133 million web surfers shopping for some kind of home goods. Once again, a new couch or lamp is not an annual purchase — so this trend seems unsustainable for much longer.\n2. Valuations are stretched\nSpeaking of post-pandemic peaks for home-goods purveyors, we’ve seen the financials bear out these big increases via boosted profits and sales. However, we’ve also seen the stock of many related merchants surge even more — stretching their valuations from historical norms.\nTake TJX. Currently this discount retailer has a forward price-to-earnings ratio of more than 26, compared with a forward P/E of just 21 in spring 2020. Its trailing price-to-sales ratio is now 2.1 compared with 1.4.\nWhat’s more, valuations for previous darlings like TJX are out of line with peers, too. Consider the forward P/E of the overall S&P 500 index is 22 right now, and other similar names like Macy’s M, +0.70% and Big Lots BIG, -3.71% actually have forward P/E ratios well under 10. You can argue TJX is unique, of course… but you also may want to be aware of what “fair value” looks like for many other stocks outside fashionable stay-at-home trades right now.\n3. Delays and shortages\nFuture growth from pandemic-fueled peaks in these stocks is not impossible, of course. But given supply chain disruptions it seems highly unlikely. There are a host of reasons for these delays, including overseas shipping delays as well as capacity and output crunches that are affecting many industries, but “stay at home” stocks seem particularly hard hit.\nHome improvement products are simply nowhere to be found, with roughly 94% of builders reporting “at least some serious shortages of appliances” according to the National Association of Home Builders. Another 93% are running short on framing lumber and 87% say it is hard to obtain windows and doors.\nEven if you can get past demand concerns, without the raw materials to get to work it’s very hard to see future growth in this category.\n4. Inflationary pressures\nFor the people who haven’t already ponied up the cash for a contractor or made their peace with extended delays for their expensive new furniture, there is a pretty big disincentive right now for new shoppers: inflation.\nThe cost of living as measured by the Consumer Price Index jumped 0.6% in May to run at a 5% annual rate. That was not only higher than expectations, but the fastest pace since the summer of 2008. The inflation risks were so pronounced that the Federal Reserve publicly stated it could move up the schedule for expected interest rate increases to keep the risks under wraps.\nInflation isn’t always a death knell, of course. But it has historically eroded purchasing power and could curtail some of the spending in “stay at home” stocks that we’ve seen in the last year or so.\n5. Home-equity hubris\nSpeaking of red-hot inflation: In May, the median price for U.S. homes topped $350,000 for the first time ever — up 23.6% from 2020. What’s more, a Realtor.com survey showed roughly a third of selling homeowners expect to get more than their asking price, and roughly the same amount expect an offer within a week of listing.\nSome of this is justifiable. Many articles have been written in recent years about the dearth of supply in attractive markets, and it’s important to acknowledge the remote work of the pandemic has indeed created some disruptive introspection into why people live where they do.\nBut here’s where things get dicey: homeowners who have already spent the expected premium on their home’s price well in advance. According to Freddie Mac, about $152.7 billion in equity loans were taken out on U.S. houses last year, a massive increase of 41.7% from 2019 and the highest refinancing cash-out dollar amount since 2007.\nAnyone remember what happened to the real-estate market in 2007? Or the similar sense of seller entitlement from those days? There’s no clear signs of a bubble bursting just yet, but there’s real risk American homeowners may be overly optimistic about what their homes are worth — and a chance this home equity loan free-for-all simply isn’t sustainable for much longer.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":254,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":126097588,"gmtCreate":1624536495344,"gmtModify":1703839653706,"author":{"id":"3581933019930023","authorId":"3581933019930023","name":"grondo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581933019930023","authorIdStr":"3581933019930023"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great","listText":"Great","text":"Great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/126097588","repostId":"1195543409","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1195543409","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":1624534898,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1195543409?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-24 19:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Toplines Before US Market Open on Thursday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1195543409","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"(Update: June 24, 2021 at 08:31 a.m. ET)\n\nU.S. weekly jobless claims total 411,000, vs 380,000 estim","content":"<p><i><b>(Update: June 24, 2021 at 08:31 a.m. ET)</b></i></p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>U.S. weekly jobless claims total 411,000, vs 380,000 estimate.</b></li>\n <li>Futures jump to all time highs ahead of Fed Speaker, Econ Data frenzy.</li>\n <li>Stock volatility hits fresh pandemic low.</li>\n <li>Eli Lilly stock jumps, Biogen drops on Alzheimer's treatment approval.</li>\n <li>Biogen shares dropped over 5% in premarket trading.</li>\n <li>Eli Lilly, Accenture, Rite Aid &amp; more made the biggest moves in the premarket.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>(June 24)&nbsp;Initial claims for unemployment insurance remained elevated last week as employers struggled to fill a record amount of job openings.</p>\n<p><b>First-time filings totaled 411,000 for the week ended June 19, a slight decrease from the previous total of 418,000 and worse than the 380,000 Dow Jones estimate, the Labor Department reported Thursday.</b></p>\n<p>Stocks rose with U.S. futures Thursday as traders weighed the outlook for recovery and policy support ahead of a slew of economic reports.

The firm might need to dispose of more assets to raise funds and meet so-called three red lines -- regulations to curb developers’ debt, Bloomberg Intelligence analysts led by Daniel Fan wrote in a note.</p>\n<p>Key major assets that could be monetized include Evergrande’s tourism property, new electric vehicle, property services and the Fangchebao online sales platform, said Fan, adding that they could be worth more than 700 billion yuan ($108 billion).</p>\n<p>“This once again shows the paramount important role Evergrande’s friends play in its business operations,” said Maggie Hu, assistant professor of real estate and finance at Chinese University of Hong Kong. “Evergrande always count on them for fighting against this kind of liquidity crisis.”</p>\n<p>Evergrande shares closed at HK$10.80 in Hong Kong, after earlier falling as much as 1.8% to the lowest since May 2017.</p>\n<p>It plans to sell 29.9% of its stake in China Calxon Group Co. to a company controlled by Wang. The shares were valued at 2.5 billion yuan at the most recent close, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Evergrande’s wholly owned unit Kailong Real Estate will hold 27.85% of the Hangzhou developer upon finalizing the deal, and will give up its voting rights in the remaining shares.</p>\n<p>Multiple calls to Shenzhen Huajian went unanswered.</p>\n<p>Wang, whose businesses span from real estate to agriculture and finance, has long been an investor in Evergrande businesses. The Calxon stake buyer, Shenzhen Huajian Holdings, was also a strategic investor of Evergrande’s onshore division known as Hengda Real Estate. The unit had planned to go public in China and later triggered a liquidity scare when it failed to do so.</p>\n<p>Huajian put 5 billion yuan into Hengda in December 2016 as a first-round investor. Another firm backed by Wang invested 3.5 billion yuan in May 2017 as a second-round investor for the failed listing.</p>\n<p>Wang’s Shenzhen Greenwoods Investment Group has 80 billion yuan in assets that include the mineral water, grain and oil businesses that were sold by Evergrande, its website shows. Greenwoods also invested 5 billion yuan in Evergrande’s electric-vehicle maker.</p>\n<p>Evergrande’s liabilities including dollar bonds, bank loans and down payments from homebuyers swelled to 1.95 trillion yuan at the end of last year, about 77% of which were due within 12 months, according to its annual report. The firm plans to repay its $1.47 billion offshore bond maturing next Monday this week, Reuters reported Monday, citing an unidentified person.</p>\n<p>Most of the property firm’s long-dated dollar bonds were slightly higher Tuesday morning. Its 10.5% dollar bond due April 2024 rose 0.1 cent to 79.3 cents after climbing 1.4 cents on Monday, the biggest gain in six months.</p>\n<p>Evergrande’s affiliates also rallied Monday. Real estate management unit Evergrande Property Services Group Ltd. closed 7.3% higher, the biggest gain in a month. Internet unit HengTen Networks Group Ltd. gained 11%, the most in more than five weeks.</p>\n<p>Some investors are betting on a short-term rebound in Evergrande shares after they lost more than 40% from their January high, Castor Pang, head of research at Core Pacific Yamaichi, said by phone.</p>\n<p>Short Interest</p>\n<p>Short interest in Evergrande has surged threefold in three weeks. It reached 22.8% of the company’s free float as of Thursday, the highest level since September 2018, data compiled by IHS Markit and Bloomberg show.</p>\n<p>There are so few Evergrande shares readily available that traders would need about 22 days to cover their bearish bets -- or buy back borrowed stock to close out an open short position. That increases the risk of a short squeeze, when hedge funds are forced to liquidate their positions at increasingly higher prices.</p>\n<p>The developer has also resumed its favored tactic of repurchasing shares to force bearish speculators out of their positions. It spent about HK$529 million on buybacks since June 7, according to Bloomberg calculations.</p>\n<p>Worries over Evergrande’s future have grown in recent weeks after affiliates missed payments and Caixin Media’s WeNews reported that regulators are looking into Evergrande’s ties to Shengjing Bank Co. in northern China.</p>\n<p>The selloff worsened after WeNews reported last week that a local government discussed with Evergrande about paring its stake in Shengjing Bank, and the banking watchdog said it would curb a key source of financing for developers to control risk.</p>\n<p>“Evergrande may buy time with a combination of rollover, new investment, and capital market access,” said Brock Silvers, chief investment officer at Kaiyuan Capital in Hong Kong. “Friendly investment from white knight pals of the chairman have helped in the past, but ultimately won’t save the company.”</p>","source":"lsy1612507957220","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The firm might need to dispose of more assets to raise funds and meet so-called three red lines -- regulations to curb developers’ debt, Bloomberg Intelligence analysts led by Daniel Fan wrote in a note.\nKey major assets that could be monetized include Evergrande’s tourism property, new electric vehicle, property services and the Fangchebao online sales platform, said Fan, adding that they could be worth more than 700 billion yuan ($108 billion).\n“This once again shows the paramount important role Evergrande’s friends play in its business operations,” said Maggie Hu, assistant professor of real estate and finance at Chinese University of Hong Kong. “Evergrande always count on them for fighting against this kind of liquidity crisis.”\nEvergrande shares closed at HK$10.80 in Hong Kong, after earlier falling as much as 1.8% to the lowest since May 2017.\nIt plans to sell 29.9% of its stake in China Calxon Group Co. to a company controlled by Wang. The shares were valued at 2.5 billion yuan at the most recent close, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Evergrande’s wholly owned unit Kailong Real Estate will hold 27.85% of the Hangzhou developer upon finalizing the deal, and will give up its voting rights in the remaining shares.\nMultiple calls to Shenzhen Huajian went unanswered.\nWang, whose businesses span from real estate to agriculture and finance, has long been an investor in Evergrande businesses. The Calxon stake buyer, Shenzhen Huajian Holdings, was also a strategic investor of Evergrande’s onshore division known as Hengda Real Estate. The unit had planned to go public in China and later triggered a liquidity scare when it failed to do so.\nHuajian put 5 billion yuan into Hengda in December 2016 as a first-round investor. Another firm backed by Wang invested 3.5 billion yuan in May 2017 as a second-round investor for the failed listing.\nWang’s Shenzhen Greenwoods Investment Group has 80 billion yuan in assets that include the mineral water, grain and oil businesses that were sold by Evergrande, its website shows. Greenwoods also invested 5 billion yuan in Evergrande’s electric-vehicle maker.\nEvergrande’s liabilities including dollar bonds, bank loans and down payments from homebuyers swelled to 1.95 trillion yuan at the end of last year, about 77% of which were due within 12 months, according to its annual report. The firm plans to repay its $1.47 billion offshore bond maturing next Monday this week, Reuters reported Monday, citing an unidentified person.\nMost of the property firm’s long-dated dollar bonds were slightly higher Tuesday morning. Its 10.5% dollar bond due April 2024 rose 0.1 cent to 79.3 cents after climbing 1.4 cents on Monday, the biggest gain in six months.\nEvergrande’s affiliates also rallied Monday. Real estate management unit Evergrande Property Services Group Ltd. closed 7.3% higher, the biggest gain in a month. Internet unit HengTen Networks Group Ltd. gained 11%, the most in more than five weeks.\nSome investors are betting on a short-term rebound in Evergrande shares after they lost more than 40% from their January high, Castor Pang, head of research at Core Pacific Yamaichi, said by phone.\nShort Interest\nShort interest in Evergrande has surged threefold in three weeks. It reached 22.8% of the company’s free float as of Thursday, the highest level since September 2018, data compiled by IHS Markit and Bloomberg show.\nThere are so few Evergrande shares readily available that traders would need about 22 days to cover their bearish bets -- or buy back borrowed stock to close out an open short position. That increases the risk of a short squeeze, when hedge funds are forced to liquidate their positions at increasingly higher prices.\nThe developer has also resumed its favored tactic of repurchasing shares to force bearish speculators out of their positions. It spent about HK$529 million on buybacks since June 7, according to Bloomberg calculations.\nWorries over Evergrande’s future have grown in recent weeks after affiliates missed payments and Caixin Media’s WeNews reported that regulators are looking into Evergrande’s ties to Shengjing Bank Co. in northern China.\nThe selloff worsened after WeNews reported last week that a local government discussed with Evergrande about paring its stake in Shengjing Bank, and the banking watchdog said it would curb a key source of financing for developers to control risk.\n“Evergrande may buy time with a combination of rollover, new investment, and capital market access,” said Brock Silvers, chief investment officer at Kaiyuan Capital in Hong Kong. “Friendly investment from white knight pals of the chairman have helped in the past, but ultimately won’t save the company.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":76,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":124907320,"gmtCreate":1624715378960,"gmtModify":1703844035980,"author":{"id":"3581933019930023","authorId":"3581933019930023","name":"grondo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581933019930023","authorIdStr":"3581933019930023"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/124907320","repostId":"2146008543","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":168,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":167217440,"gmtCreate":1624270446080,"gmtModify":1703832048673,"author":{"id":"3581933019930023","authorId":"3581933019930023","name":"grondo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581933019930023","authorIdStr":"3581933019930023"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/167217440","repostId":"1181147458","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1181147458","pubTimestamp":1624269824,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1181147458?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-21 18:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Top Ag Traders Forecast \"Mini Supercycle\"","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1181147458","media":"zerohedge","summary":"Before the plunge in commodities late in the week, top executives from Cargill, Cofco, Viterra, and ","content":"<p>Before the plunge in commodities late in the week, top executives from Cargill, Cofco, Viterra, and Scoular said this week at the&nbsp;FT Commodities Global Summit&nbsp;that<b>a \"mini-supercycle\" in agricultural commodities could be on the horizon, boosted by China demand and increasing use for biofuels.</b></p>\n<p>These execs forecasted corn, soybeans, and wheat markets will remain robust over the next two to four years.</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>\"We certainly see a mini supercycle,\" said David Mattiske, chief executive of Viterra, majority-owned by Glencore, told the FT Commodities Global Summit.\"We're in a demand-driven environment with the themes of a growing population, growing wealth, people consuming more.

The first list of stocks are equities with a combination of strong productivity and efficacy of spending. The second screen are stocks that center around earnings quality, measured by consistent free cash flow.\nGoldman then added a valuation overlay to both these screens. Take a look at the lists of stocks here.\nAsset productivity\nThis list of stocks are buy-rated names that offer a combination of strong and improving gross profitability, solid cash returns on cash invested and fair valuations.\n“We look for companies that despite the pandemic-related headwinds, maintained their Gross Profits/Total Assets in the top half of their respective sectors (Quartile 1 or 2) throughout 2019-2022E, and are set to expand/stay stable in 2022E vs. 2019 on our analysts’ estimates,” said Mehta.\nAll the listed stocks have improving gross profit as a percent of total assets, improving cash return on capital invested and attractive valuations compared to history.\n\nDeere & Co.,Lowe’s,Advanced Micro Devices,Boston Beer and Procter & Gamble all make Goldman’s first quality screen.\n“New ag equipment share of capex is in the early stages of recovering off trough following a sharp destock in used ag equipment inventory,” said Goldman equity analyst Jerry Revich.\nGoldman equity analyst Kate McShane said she is looking for Lowe’s’ margins to expand as the company manages costs and increases productivity.\n“Traffic and ticket growth have been consistently strong throughout the pandemic and continued successful initiatives with the ‘Pro’ customers should increase the likelihood of market share gains,” said McShane.\nImproving free cash flow\nThe next screen includes stocks that have a good track record of free cash flow conversion, plus attractive and growing free cash flow yields, said Goldman.\n“We view companies with the ability to convert accounting net earnings into Free Cash Flow (FCF) cash as well positioned. While investors typically look to net income to gauge a company’s profitability, it is ultimately FCF generation, that underpins an effective capital allocation policy in our view,” said Mehta.\nAll the buy-rated stocks also have free cash flow yield above 5%, that is expected to improve year-over-year.\n\nKBR Inc, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Philip Morris International, Cisco Systems and Darden Restaurants all made Goldman’s free cash flow screen.\n“Strong growth trajectory ahead from rising global hydrogen infrastructure investment and favorable capital deployment,” Goldman equity analyst Jerry Revich told clients about KBR. “Management’s $4-6 EPS target for 2025 seems achievable with strong organic growth in government solutions and a solid booking run-way across Advisory, Ammonia and catalyst.”\nGoldman analyst Matthew O’Neill said Cognizant’s strong balance sheet strength and robust free cash flow generation is also likely to provide capacity to supplement growth with M&A.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":108,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":167217344,"gmtCreate":1624270386588,"gmtModify":1703832050467,"author":{"id":"3581933019930023","authorId":"3581933019930023","name":"grondo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581933019930023","authorIdStr":"3581933019930023"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/167217344","repostId":"1154249454","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1154249454","pubTimestamp":1624230573,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1154249454?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-21 07:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Nike, FedEx, Johnson & Johnson, Darden, and Other Stocks for Investors to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1154249454","media":"barrons","summary":"A handful of notable companies will release their latest results toward the end of this week.Nike,FedEx,andDarden Restaurantswill report on Thursday, followed by CarMax and Paychex on Friday.

It has also agreed to transfer its French retail bank to private equity firm Cerberus.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":86,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":120293396,"gmtCreate":1624323725715,"gmtModify":1703833418031,"author":{"id":"3581933019930023","authorId":"3581933019930023","name":"grondo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581933019930023","authorIdStr":"3581933019930023"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/120293396","repostId":"1191349655","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1191349655","pubTimestamp":1624316842,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1191349655?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-22 07:07","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street ends sharply higher, led by surging Dow","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1191349655","media":"Reuters","summary":"(Reuters) - Wall Street rallied on Monday, with the Dow completing its strongest session in over thr","content":"<p>(Reuters) - Wall Street rallied on Monday, with the Dow completing its strongest session in over three months as investors piled back in to energy and other sectors expected to outperform as the economy rebounds from the pandemic.</p>\n<p>The small-cap Russell 2000 and the Dow Jones Transports Average, considered a barometer of economic health, both jumped about 2%.</p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 value index, which includes banks, energy and other economically sensitive sectors and has led gains in U.S. equities so far this year, surged 1.9%, outperforming a 0.9% rise in the growth index.</p>\n<p>That was a stark reversal from last week, when the Fed’s hawkish signals on monetary policy sparked a round of profit taking that wiped out value stocks’ lead over growth this month and triggered the worst weekly performance for the Dow and the S&amp;P 500 in months.</p>\n<p>“The overall theme here is the market still does not know whether it wants easy money or tight money and it’s in a tug of war,” said Randy Frederick, vice president of trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab.</p>\n<p>All 11 S&amp;P 500 sector indexes rose, with energy jumping 4.3% and leading the way, followed by financials, up 2.4%.</p>\n<p>Microsoft Corp rose 1.2% to close at an all-time high.</p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 has traded in a tight range this month as investors juggled fears of an overheating economy with optimism about a strong economic rebound.</p>\n<p>(Graphic: Value vs Growth stocks, )</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/cef3457ef1409a02e910dfc35591b8dc\" tg-width=\"963\" tg-height=\"726\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Focus this week will be on U.S. factory activity surveys and home sales data, while Fed Chair Jerome Powell testifies before Congress on Tuesday.</p>\n<p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.76% to end at 33,876.97 points, while the S&amp;P 500 gained 1.40% to 4,224.79.

The current quarter includes the summer months of June, July and August.\n\"The macroeconomic stability is giving a lot of enterprises confidence to invest again,\" Murphy said. \"Companies are prioritizing digital transformation.\"\nThe reopening of the economy and return to offices after the pandemic should provide a tailwind for Adobe's business, he said.\nAnalysts Raise Price Targets On Adobe Stock\nAt least 15 Wall Street analysts raised their price targets on ADBE stock after the earnings report.\nMizuho Securities analyst Gregg Moskowitz reiterated his buy rating on ADBE stock and upped his price target to 640 from 600.\n\"Adobe's expansive portfolio of software solutions has made it the gold standard in content creation, consumption, and collaboration,\" Moskowitz said in a note to clients. \"Adobe is very well positioned to benefit from digital transformation with its comprehensive end-to-end offering that differentiates it from competitors.\"\nOn June 11, ADBE stock broke out of a 40-week consolidation period at a buy point of 536.98, according to IBD MarketSmith charts.\nHowever, IBD Leaderboard analysis offered investors an earlier buy point of 525.54 from a cup base within the larger consolidation pattern.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":183,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":162286189,"gmtCreate":1624064712441,"gmtModify":1703827914967,"author":{"id":"3581933019930023","authorId":"3581933019930023","name":"grondo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581933019930023","authorIdStr":"3581933019930023"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/162286189","repostId":"1156696708","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1156696708","pubTimestamp":1624063306,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1156696708?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-19 08:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Dow falls more than 500 points to close out its worst week since October","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1156696708","media":"cnbc","summary":"Stocks fell on Friday, with theDow Jones Industrial Averageposting its worst weekly loss since Octob","content":"<div>\n<p>Stocks fell on Friday, with theDow Jones Industrial Averageposting its worst weekly loss since October, as traders worried the Federal Reserve could start raising rates sooner than expected.\nThe blue-...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/17/stock-market-futures-open-to-close-news.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

TheS&P 500slid 1.3% to 4,166.45. Both the Dow and S&P 500 hit their session lows in the final minutes of trading and closed around those levels. TheNasdaq Compositeclosed 0.9% lower at 14,030.38. Economic comeback plays led the market losses.\nFor the week, the 30-stock Dow lost 3.5%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq were down by 1.9% and 0.2%, respectively, week to date.\nSt. Louis Federal Reserve President Jim Bullardtold CNBC's \"Squawk Box\"on Friday it was natural for the Fed to tilt a little \"hawkish\" this week and that the first rate increase from the central bank would likely come in 2022. His comments came after the Fed on Wednesday added two rate hikes to its 2023 forecast and increased its inflation projection for the year, putting pressure on stock prices.\n\"The fear held by some investors is that if the Fed tightens policy sooner than expected to help cool inflationary pressures, this could weigh on future economic growth,\" Truist Advisory Services chief market strategist Keith Lerner said in a note. To be sure, he added it would be premature to give up on the so-called value trade right now.\nPockets of the market most sensitive to the economic rebound led the sell-off this week. The S&P 500 energy sector and industrials dropped 5.2% and 3.8%, respectively, for the week. Financials and materials meanwhile, lost more than 6% each. These groups had been market leaders this year on the back of the economic reopening.\nThe decline in stocks came as the Fed's actions caused a drastic flattening of the so-called Treasury yield curve. This means the yields of shorter-duration Treasurys — like the 2-year note — rose while longer-duration yields like the benchmark 10-year declined. The retreat in long-dated bond yields reflects less optimism toward economic growth, while the jump in short-end yields shows the expectations of the Fed raising rates.\nThis phenomenon hurt bank stocks particularly as their earnings could take a hit when the spread between short-term and long-term rates narrows. Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase shares on Friday lost more than 2% each. Citigroup fell by 1.8%, posting its 12th straight daily decline.\nFed Chairman Jerome Powell said Wednesday that officials have discussed tapering bond buying and would at some point begin slowing the asset purchases.\n\"This week's first whiff of an eventual change in Fed policy was a reminder that emergency monetary conditions and the free-money era will ultimately end,\" strategists at MRB Partners wrote in a note. \"We expect a series of incremental retreats from the Fed's benign inflation outlook in the coming months.\"\nCommodity prices were underpressure this weekas China attempted to cool rising prices and as the U.S. dollar strengthens. Copper, gold and platinum fell once again on Friday.\nFriday also coincided with the quarterly \"quadruple witching\" in which options and futures on indexes and equities expire. This event may have contributed to more volatile trading during the session.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":56,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":166941993,"gmtCreate":1623989651312,"gmtModify":1703825866857,"author":{"id":"3581933019930023","authorId":"3581933019930023","name":"grondo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581933019930023","authorIdStr":"3581933019930023"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great news","listText":"Great news","text":"Great news","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/166941993","repostId":"1168762020","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1168762020","pubTimestamp":1623988654,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1168762020?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-18 11:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"ASML: The Market Could Be Underestimating Its Potential","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1168762020","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nThe Semiconductor sector is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% through 2028.\nDUV lithogra","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>The Semiconductor sector is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% through 2028.</li>\n <li>DUV lithography is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% through 2025 with EUV lithography forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 12% through 2027.</li>\n <li>ASML holds a monopoly within EUV and faces very limited competition within DUV, both platforms absolutely vital for the semiconductor manufacturing process.</li>\n <li>A true innovator, ASML commands an outstanding position and growth outlook but the stock market has long since recognized the potential.</li>\n <li>Existing shareholders do well for themselves in just enjoying the ride, but there is little margin of safety left for prospective shareholders who might dip their toes into the water through dollar-cost averaging to benefit from the strong tailwinds powering ASML.</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/44b5f81c309842f14fe1adffe3d6c9ca\" tg-width=\"768\" tg-height=\"432\"><span>MACRO PHOTO/iStock via Getty ImagesInvestment Thesis</span></p>\n<p>ASML Holding (ASML) commands a market position like no one else with not a competitor in sight for its most advanced technological platform, EUV lithography. Similarly, it faces very limited competition within DUV, both platforms vital for semiconductor manufacturing. The household names within the semiconductor industry belong to the manufacturers, but the machinery providers, such as ASML, command very strong moats through extensive technological knowledge and strong process knowledge leaving all potential competitors years behind if they should ever try to compete.</p>\n<p>It's hard to think of a better competitive situation, especially when operating in a sector forecasted to grow well above general GDP for many years to come. However, the market has long since recognized ASML's outstanding potential and potential journey, but still, it could be underestimating the potential.</p>\n<p><b>Introduction</b></p>\n<p>I recently wrote an article concerning how youcan’t own too much semiconductor exposure. Having decomposed the value chain for semiconductor manufacturing, I received a number of questions concerning ASML in the comment sections and decided to conduct this follow-up. I’ve selected ASML due to its unique marketplace position and potential.</p>\n<p>Personally I have exposure to the manufacturing level of the semiconductor value chain through shares in both Texas Instruments Incorporated (TXN) and Broadcom Inc. (AVGO), but venturing further back into the value chain, and investors can be allowed to invest in a broader manner into the industry, as the suppliers of machinery and software obtain a broader exposure to most of the manufacturers making it immensely interesting as you can adopt the mantra of “I don’t really mind who wins, as long as they are racing”. As such, potential exposure upstream in the value chain carries great interest.</p>\n<p><b>The Marketplace and Value Drivers For Years To Come</b></p>\n<p>For ASML followers it’s no surprise at this point, but ASML is dominant within the product offering that will drive its revenue for the coming decade, EUV (Extreme ultraviolet lithography) technology. My personal take is that it is hard to find a company in a similarly advantageous competitive position anywhere in any industry. ASML provides equipment for lithography, the art of printing the chip features via light sources, in several light spectrums with its most advanced being EUV which is the next-gen to DUV (deep ultraviolet lithography). For DUV there are competitors albeit ASML has a massive market share above 85%. The difference between DUV and EUV is that EUV operates at a light wavelength almost 15 times smaller than DUV (13.5nm compared to 193nm).</p>\n<p>Actually, the semiconductor manufacturers for the leading edge chips such as 5nm and soon to be 3nm are deeply dependent on the EUV machinery. Without it, it simply wouldn’t be possible. That sounds like a pretty good bargain for those who can manufacture these machines, but there is only one company that is able to do it, and that is ASML. For every generation of new EUV machinery, its yield becomes better with higher throughput and reduced downtime issues, meaning that ASML is effectively lightyears ahead of anyone who would try to pick up the gauntlet and challenge their dominant position.</p>\n<p>This is an industry where everything is about process knowledge. Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) is able to produce 5nm chips because it was able to produce 7nm, and it will be able to produce 3nm because it can produce 5nm and has done that a million times over which is also why it was so detrimental to Intel Corp (INTC) that it had to acknowledge its persistent issues with the 7nm technology.</p>\n<p>Quite simply, there is no 3nm if you can’t do the 5nm, as also discussed in my previous article. Same goes for ASML as a competitor would be years and years behind ASML if they entered the EUV space as they would struggle with the same issues that have plagued ASML in its early days of EUV more than a decade ago. I’ve included a number of illustrations from their most recent investor day which took place in November 2018, with the next one to take place in September 2021.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/edaa6b5a77f99726bbae61b032b9c208\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"359\"><span>ASML Investor Day 2018, EUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 6.</span></p>\n<p>The picture above clearly illustrates the process knowledge having been picked up by ASML throughout its EUV lifetime. This has also translated into better EUV machinery for each new generation as also evident by its productivity improvements. Again, I can’t imagine a more favourable competitive situation for a company, given how much time and capital it would require for a competitor to adopt the EUV technology.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/85913766aea721e218e976e4f73349e5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"362\"><span>ASML Investor Day 2018, EUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 16.</span></p>\n<p>Semiconductor manufacturing is a cutthroat business with heavy R&amp;D spend (it took ASML €6 billion in R&amp;D spend to invent EUV) driving chip improvements according to Moore’s law, meaning that ASML is already working on the next-gen technology, referred to as High NA-EUV. High NA-EUV is still some time away, with the timeline below being slightly outdated, but its technology will significantly improve the EUV platform and power the industry beyond this decade. It takes time to develop the technology, improve yield and reduce downtime, but there is still plenty of opportunities for EUV in terms of marketplace expansion and margin improvement.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7709f0f76b1619a31b32fc3330134005\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"361\"><span>ASML Investor Day 2018, EUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 21.</span></p>\n<p>ASML itself has laid out the expected path in terms of optimised margins through both add-ons facing the buyer side and upstream cost reductions facing their suppliers creating a sweet spot for the company effectively striving to achieve the same profitability profile as for its more mature DUV platform.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/809661531ad423f613fb44c26e0b3352\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"353\"><span>ASML Investor Day 2018, EUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 25.</span></p>\n<p>If that wasn’t good enough, then add the fact that the semiconductor industry in general is expected to outpace general GDP for at least until 2028 with a CAGR of 8.6%. Recentcommunicationsby Taiwan Semiconductor, Intel and Samsung Electronics Company (OTC:SSNLF) shows the strength and growth potential for the sector with their combined CAPEX expectations going beyond $200 billion for the coming decade, with a significant chunk of that within the coming years.</p>\n<p>As can be seen in the illustration above, ASML expects increased customer value through upgrades, with their roadmap for DUV serving as an example in terms of how the revenue base could expand over the coming years for EUV as is the case for DUV via what the company has labelled installed base management.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d8ef7940a4b888c50159e5b9db4c0634\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"362\"><span>ASML Investor Day 2018, DUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 10.</span></p>\n<p>There is of course always the possibility of a serious contender entering the marketplace in order to try and challenge ASML, but companies have tried to enter the space when the technology was in its infancy having given up, meaning the prime threat would be the emergence of a new lithography technology arriving and doing to EUV what EUV did to DUV. Possible sure, likely, not so much. Just to hammer down the point, I’ve inserted a paragraph from ASML’s own description of how lithography plays its role.</p>\n<blockquote>\n “\n <i>Lithography is a driving force in the creation of more powerful, faster and cheaper chips. The manufacturing of chips becomes increasingly complex as semiconductor feature sizes shrink, while the imperative to mass produce at the right cost remains. Our holistic lithography product portfolio helps to optimize production and enable affordable shrink by integrating lithography systems with computational modeling, as well as metrology and inspection solutions. A lithography system is essentially a projection system. Light is projected through a blueprint of the pattern that will be printed (known as a ‘mask’ or ‘reticle’). With the pattern encoded in the light, the system’s optics shrink and focus the pattern onto a photosensitive silicon wafer. After the pattern is printed, the system moves the wafer slightly and makes another copy on the wafer. This process is repeated until the wafer is covered in patterns, completing one layer of the wafer’s chips. To make an entire microchip, this process is repeated layer after layer, stacking the patterns to create an integrated circuit (IC). The simplest chips have around 10 layers, while the most complex can have over 150 layers. The size of the features to be printed varies depending on the layer, which means that different types of lithography systems are used for different layers – our latest-generation EUV systems for the most critical layers with the smallest features to ArF, KrF, and i-line DUV systems for less critical layers with larger features.</i>”\n <i>ASML Annual Report 2020, The Role Of Lithography, p. 12.</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fa32572971943844c4e71ddfc77559d6\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"547\"><span>ASML Annual Report 2020, The Role Of Lithography, p. 12.</span></p>\n<p>I believe most investors are familiar with confirmation bias, and if they aren’t, they should grab a book and educate themselves. Having read through this section, it can easily sound as if I as the author is suffering from confirmation bias given how strongly I’ve advocated for ASML’s position and competitive power. However, I’ve striven towards identifying situations that could severely impact ASML and being honest I can’t find it. There are of course the risks associated with geopolitical tension, which also showed itself in the stock price back in 2016, the risk of supply chain disruption as is currently transpiring across the industry and competition for talent. These are touched upon by the company itself in their annual report 2020 p. 21 and no industry comes without potential risks.</p>\n<p>So, to sum it all up:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>ASML has pioneered EUV lithography, with no competitors in sight</li>\n <li>EUV will enable the continuation of Moore’s Law and will drive long term value for ASML and its customers well into this decade</li>\n <li>The semiconductor sector forecasted to grow at CAGR of 8.6% through 2028, outpacing general GDP with ASML being a key supplier to the manufacturers (foundries)</li>\n <li>Strong industry CAPEX driving demand for ASML offerings</li>\n <li>The path forward for expanding EUV business in terms of installed base management, margins improvement and manufacturer dependency on EUV machinery for leading edge chips</li>\n <li>ASML is a crucial player for leading edge chip manufacturing</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Sounds pretty good to me.</p>\n<p>The Financial Performance and Development</p>\n<p>ASML is doing well for itself as evident by the illustration below.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Strong revenue growth</li>\n <li>Strong margin expansion</li>\n <li>Strong improvement in free cash flow</li>\n <li>Impressive operational improvements strengthening its moat through increased R&amp;D spend and IP portfolio</li>\n</ul>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7900753b1857ac9ad6fc705b9baad563\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"414\"><span>Annual Report 2020, p 7.</span></p>\n<p>This was followed by a strong Q1-2021 performance with mouth-watering financials on both top and bottom line. However, for their Q2-2021 performance they are guiding for slightly lower revenue expansion at €4.1 billion with a gross margin of 49%, which is still above the long term average but closer to it. There is however no denying that the company is thriving in the current environment.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/60ea4dedde41a918bd9e1fd307a9531f\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"356\"><span>ASML 2021 First-Quarter, p. 14.</span></p>\n<p>An interesting detail is the development within the installed base management as illustrated earlier in the article. The company is delivering on its promise with a strong development within this segment growing 29% YoY from 2019 to 2020, well beyond the total growth of 18%.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c6966dcaf747d226d5de580187d4d3ad\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"357\"><span>ASML 2021 First-Quarter, p. 8.</span></p>\n<p>The more interesting question however is whether the market estimates are underestimating the potential for ASML. An immensely hard question, but if we give it a look, I personally at least see the possibility of that being the case.</p>\n<p>Are Analyst Consensus Estimates Under- or Over-Estimating ASML’s Potential?</p>\n<p>ASML is well-covered by analysts offering estimates all the way through 2028, but with coverage waning once we go beyond 2025 which is the last year covered by more than one analyst. The current estimates show a revenue CAGR development of 11.1% from 2020 to 2028, but if we remove 2021, which shows stellar growth, the CAGR is 6.5%.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9adf4cebbce28dc7433186b5bd0827e8\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"377\"><span>Author's Own Creation, Source Seeking Alpha.</span></p>\n<p>Remember the sector as a whole is forecasted to exhibit growth at a CAGR of 8.6% through 2028. These are all estimates which carry great uncertainty with no one able to reliably predict the future. However, it is worth noticing that revenue estimates for ASML are below the sector as a whole if the massive jump from 2020 to 2021 is left out of the equation. Average revenue growth from 2026 to 2028 is currently estimated to be 3.5%.</p>\n<p>Considering some of the arguments in favour of why ASML’s outlook could be even more positive:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>General semiconductor industry CAGR 2020-2028 forecasted at 8.6%.</li>\n <li>DUV CAGR 2020-2025forecastedat 8.4%, it is still ASML’s largest product category.</li>\n <li>EUV CAGR 2020-2027forecastedat 12%.</li>\n <li>ASML is a linchpin player to solve chip shortage through technology advancement and its machines define the performance of every electrical gadget we utilise in our daily lives.</li>\n <li>ASML shows progress in its plan to widen the ecosystem for its machinery through \"Installed Base Management\" increasing the total addressable market by upwards of double digits percentage as 2018 sales were 20% installed base management and 2025 estimate is 50%.</li>\n <li>ASML dominates the DUV immersion segment, the part of DUV with high margins as its two solecompetitorsin DUV, Nikon and Canon lack the means and capabilities.</li>\n <li>As the market transitions to EUV, the demand for DUV willfollowas the chip stacking process benefits from both systems through its manufacturing.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>This is without mentioning the potential price increases that could trickle down towards its customers as they could be fighting over ASML’s capacity due to its strong market position of 85% in DUV and monopoly within EUV while also bringing High NA-EUV to market by mid of this decade. Customers today pay roughly $130-150 million for EUV machines, while DUV machines come in at around $100 million. The largest hindrance to ASML overdelivering is its current capacity constraint in terms of ability to deliver EUV systems which is capped somewhere between 40 and 50 systems a year, with the company of course striving to expand that capacity constraint as demand builds up over the years. On the other hand, this could also be a driver for price increases as ASML strives to expand capacity.</p>\n<p>I will not try to construct an even bolder revenue guidance as it’s a cheap shot and frankly, no one has the capacity to accurately forecast if the current expectations will stand or whether they are too positive or negative.

Similarly, it faces very limited competition within DUV, both platforms vital for semiconductor manufacturing. The household names within the semiconductor industry belong to the manufacturers, but the machinery providers, such as ASML, command very strong moats through extensive technological knowledge and strong process knowledge leaving all potential competitors years behind if they should ever try to compete.\nIt's hard to think of a better competitive situation, especially when operating in a sector forecasted to grow well above general GDP for many years to come. However, the market has long since recognized ASML's outstanding potential and potential journey, but still, it could be underestimating the potential.\nIntroduction\nI recently wrote an article concerning how youcan’t own too much semiconductor exposure. Having decomposed the value chain for semiconductor manufacturing, I received a number of questions concerning ASML in the comment sections and decided to conduct this follow-up. I’ve selected ASML due to its unique marketplace position and potential.\nPersonally I have exposure to the manufacturing level of the semiconductor value chain through shares in both Texas Instruments Incorporated (TXN) and Broadcom Inc. (AVGO), but venturing further back into the value chain, and investors can be allowed to invest in a broader manner into the industry, as the suppliers of machinery and software obtain a broader exposure to most of the manufacturers making it immensely interesting as you can adopt the mantra of “I don’t really mind who wins, as long as they are racing”. As such, potential exposure upstream in the value chain carries great interest.\nThe Marketplace and Value Drivers For Years To Come\nFor ASML followers it’s no surprise at this point, but ASML is dominant within the product offering that will drive its revenue for the coming decade, EUV (Extreme ultraviolet lithography) technology. My personal take is that it is hard to find a company in a similarly advantageous competitive position anywhere in any industry. ASML provides equipment for lithography, the art of printing the chip features via light sources, in several light spectrums with its most advanced being EUV which is the next-gen to DUV (deep ultraviolet lithography). For DUV there are competitors albeit ASML has a massive market share above 85%. The difference between DUV and EUV is that EUV operates at a light wavelength almost 15 times smaller than DUV (13.5nm compared to 193nm).\nActually, the semiconductor manufacturers for the leading edge chips such as 5nm and soon to be 3nm are deeply dependent on the EUV machinery. Without it, it simply wouldn’t be possible. That sounds like a pretty good bargain for those who can manufacture these machines, but there is only one company that is able to do it, and that is ASML. For every generation of new EUV machinery, its yield becomes better with higher throughput and reduced downtime issues, meaning that ASML is effectively lightyears ahead of anyone who would try to pick up the gauntlet and challenge their dominant position.\nThis is an industry where everything is about process knowledge. Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) is able to produce 5nm chips because it was able to produce 7nm, and it will be able to produce 3nm because it can produce 5nm and has done that a million times over which is also why it was so detrimental to Intel Corp (INTC) that it had to acknowledge its persistent issues with the 7nm technology.\nQuite simply, there is no 3nm if you can’t do the 5nm, as also discussed in my previous article. Same goes for ASML as a competitor would be years and years behind ASML if they entered the EUV space as they would struggle with the same issues that have plagued ASML in its early days of EUV more than a decade ago. I’ve included a number of illustrations from their most recent investor day which took place in November 2018, with the next one to take place in September 2021.\nASML Investor Day 2018, EUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 6.\nThe picture above clearly illustrates the process knowledge having been picked up by ASML throughout its EUV lifetime. This has also translated into better EUV machinery for each new generation as also evident by its productivity improvements. Again, I can’t imagine a more favourable competitive situation for a company, given how much time and capital it would require for a competitor to adopt the EUV technology.\nASML Investor Day 2018, EUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 16.\nSemiconductor manufacturing is a cutthroat business with heavy R&D spend (it took ASML €6 billion in R&D spend to invent EUV) driving chip improvements according to Moore’s law, meaning that ASML is already working on the next-gen technology, referred to as High NA-EUV. High NA-EUV is still some time away, with the timeline below being slightly outdated, but its technology will significantly improve the EUV platform and power the industry beyond this decade. It takes time to develop the technology, improve yield and reduce downtime, but there is still plenty of opportunities for EUV in terms of marketplace expansion and margin improvement.\nASML Investor Day 2018, EUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 21.\nASML itself has laid out the expected path in terms of optimised margins through both add-ons facing the buyer side and upstream cost reductions facing their suppliers creating a sweet spot for the company effectively striving to achieve the same profitability profile as for its more mature DUV platform.\nASML Investor Day 2018, EUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 25.\nIf that wasn’t good enough, then add the fact that the semiconductor industry in general is expected to outpace general GDP for at least until 2028 with a CAGR of 8.6%. Recentcommunicationsby Taiwan Semiconductor, Intel and Samsung Electronics Company (OTC:SSNLF) shows the strength and growth potential for the sector with their combined CAPEX expectations going beyond $200 billion for the coming decade, with a significant chunk of that within the coming years.\nAs can be seen in the illustration above, ASML expects increased customer value through upgrades, with their roadmap for DUV serving as an example in terms of how the revenue base could expand over the coming years for EUV as is the case for DUV via what the company has labelled installed base management.\nASML Investor Day 2018, DUV Products and Business Opportunity, p. 10.\nThere is of course always the possibility of a serious contender entering the marketplace in order to try and challenge ASML, but companies have tried to enter the space when the technology was in its infancy having given up, meaning the prime threat would be the emergence of a new lithography technology arriving and doing to EUV what EUV did to DUV. Possible sure, likely, not so much. Just to hammer down the point, I’ve inserted a paragraph from ASML’s own description of how lithography plays its role.\n\n “\n Lithography is a driving force in the creation of more powerful, faster and cheaper chips. The manufacturing of chips becomes increasingly complex as semiconductor feature sizes shrink, while the imperative to mass produce at the right cost remains. Our holistic lithography product portfolio helps to optimize production and enable affordable shrink by integrating lithography systems with computational modeling, as well as metrology and inspection solutions. A lithography system is essentially a projection system. Light is projected through a blueprint of the pattern that will be printed (known as a ‘mask’ or ‘reticle’). With the pattern encoded in the light, the system’s optics shrink and focus the pattern onto a photosensitive silicon wafer. After the pattern is printed, the system moves the wafer slightly and makes another copy on the wafer. This process is repeated until the wafer is covered in patterns, completing one layer of the wafer’s chips. To make an entire microchip, this process is repeated layer after layer, stacking the patterns to create an integrated circuit (IC). The simplest chips have around 10 layers, while the most complex can have over 150 layers. The size of the features to be printed varies depending on the layer, which means that different types of lithography systems are used for different layers – our latest-generation EUV systems for the most critical layers with the smallest features to ArF, KrF, and i-line DUV systems for less critical layers with larger features.”\n ASML Annual Report 2020, The Role Of Lithography, p. 12.\n\nASML Annual Report 2020, The Role Of Lithography, p. 12.\nI believe most investors are familiar with confirmation bias, and if they aren’t, they should grab a book and educate themselves. Having read through this section, it can easily sound as if I as the author is suffering from confirmation bias given how strongly I’ve advocated for ASML’s position and competitive power. However, I’ve striven towards identifying situations that could severely impact ASML and being honest I can’t find it. There are of course the risks associated with geopolitical tension, which also showed itself in the stock price back in 2016, the risk of supply chain disruption as is currently transpiring across the industry and competition for talent. These are touched upon by the company itself in their annual report 2020 p. 21 and no industry comes without potential risks.\nSo, to sum it all up:\n\nASML has pioneered EUV lithography, with no competitors in sight\nEUV will enable the continuation of Moore’s Law and will drive long term value for ASML and its customers well into this decade\nThe semiconductor sector forecasted to grow at CAGR of 8.6% through 2028, outpacing general GDP with ASML being a key supplier to the manufacturers (foundries)\nStrong industry CAPEX driving demand for ASML offerings\nThe path forward for expanding EUV business in terms of installed base management, margins improvement and manufacturer dependency on EUV machinery for leading edge chips\nASML is a crucial player for leading edge chip manufacturing\n\nSounds pretty good to me.\nThe Financial Performance and Development\nASML is doing well for itself as evident by the illustration below.\n\nStrong revenue growth\nStrong margin expansion\nStrong improvement in free cash flow\nImpressive operational improvements strengthening its moat through increased R&D spend and IP portfolio\n\nAnnual Report 2020, p 7.\nThis was followed by a strong Q1-2021 performance with mouth-watering financials on both top and bottom line. However, for their Q2-2021 performance they are guiding for slightly lower revenue expansion at €4.1 billion with a gross margin of 49%, which is still above the long term average but closer to it. There is however no denying that the company is thriving in the current environment.\nASML 2021 First-Quarter, p. 14.\nAn interesting detail is the development within the installed base management as illustrated earlier in the article. The company is delivering on its promise with a strong development within this segment growing 29% YoY from 2019 to 2020, well beyond the total growth of 18%.\nASML 2021 First-Quarter, p. 8.\nThe more interesting question however is whether the market estimates are underestimating the potential for ASML. An immensely hard question, but if we give it a look, I personally at least see the possibility of that being the case.\nAre Analyst Consensus Estimates Under- or Over-Estimating ASML’s Potential?\nASML is well-covered by analysts offering estimates all the way through 2028, but with coverage waning once we go beyond 2025 which is the last year covered by more than one analyst. The current estimates show a revenue CAGR development of 11.1% from 2020 to 2028, but if we remove 2021, which shows stellar growth, the CAGR is 6.5%.\nAuthor's Own Creation, Source Seeking Alpha.\nRemember the sector as a whole is forecasted to exhibit growth at a CAGR of 8.6% through 2028. These are all estimates which carry great uncertainty with no one able to reliably predict the future. However, it is worth noticing that revenue estimates for ASML are below the sector as a whole if the massive jump from 2020 to 2021 is left out of the equation. Average revenue growth from 2026 to 2028 is currently estimated to be 3.5%.\nConsidering some of the arguments in favour of why ASML’s outlook could be even more positive:\n\nGeneral semiconductor industry CAGR 2020-2028 forecasted at 8.6%.\nDUV CAGR 2020-2025forecastedat 8.4%, it is still ASML’s largest product category.\nEUV CAGR 2020-2027forecastedat 12%.\nASML is a linchpin player to solve chip shortage through technology advancement and its machines define the performance of every electrical gadget we utilise in our daily lives.\nASML shows progress in its plan to widen the ecosystem for its machinery through \"Installed Base Management\" increasing the total addressable market by upwards of double digits percentage as 2018 sales were 20% installed base management and 2025 estimate is 50%.\nASML dominates the DUV immersion segment, the part of DUV with high margins as its two solecompetitorsin DUV, Nikon and Canon lack the means and capabilities.\nAs the market transitions to EUV, the demand for DUV willfollowas the chip stacking process benefits from both systems through its manufacturing.\n\nThis is without mentioning the potential price increases that could trickle down towards its customers as they could be fighting over ASML’s capacity due to its strong market position of 85% in DUV and monopoly within EUV while also bringing High NA-EUV to market by mid of this decade. Customers today pay roughly $130-150 million for EUV machines, while DUV machines come in at around $100 million.

I just want to highlight that with everything going on and ASML’s market position in mind, I don’t consider it unreasonable that the company will do even better than currently anticipated.\nValuation\nThe stock price is an inch away from its 52-week high and has been on a tear since the beginning of 2020, really taking off since October 2020 from which it has doubled since.\nData by YCharts\nMarket cap has exploded with all other parameters left in its wake having seen a significant expansion in price-earnings ratio despite a strong improvement in EPS and revenue.

Its market is backed by incredibly strong tailwinds as all our gadgets, electrical cars, 5G, datacentres, cloud servers, etc. are heavily reliant on the technology platform offered by ASML. A true innovator with no real competition in sight, feeding machinery and tools to an industry expected to grow at CAGR 8.6% through 2028 with potentially even stronger growth for both its DUV and EUV platforms while also expecting margin expansion.\nThere is little evil to be said about ASML, but unfortunately, the stock market has long since recognised its amazing story and potential. With such a strong outlook in sight, existing shareholders do well for themselves in holding onto their shares and just enjoy the journey ahead, but for the prospective shareholders, there appears to be a little margin of safety with the market cap having expanded significantly recently and the stock trading just an inch shy of its 52 week high.\nAs Peter Lynch said, “Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections, or trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in corrections themselves.” The exact fallacy I’ve fallen victim to as I’ve looked at ASML from afar for quite a while. Despite the recent expansion in market cap and multiples, there could be made a case for current estimates underestimating ASML’s true potential, but any forecast extending 5-10 years into the future comes with extreme uncertainty and guesstimation. As I’ve shown, ASML’s share price is prone to setbacks once or twice a year allowing dollar-cost averaging to serve as a method to acquire exposure to the company slowly building a position along the way.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":28,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":150729110,"gmtCreate":1624928446930,"gmtModify":1703848082989,"author":{"id":"3581933019930023","authorId":"3581933019930023","name":"grondo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581933019930023","authorIdStr":"3581933019930023"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/150729110","repostId":"1103175848","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1103175848","pubTimestamp":1624926963,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1103175848?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-29 08:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The bull market for these ‘green’ metal stocks is just beginning, Goldman Sachs says","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1103175848","media":"CNBC","summary":"Analysts at Goldman Sachs have picked out “green” aluminum stocks that they believe will benefit from a bull market for the metal that could last several years.Aluminum production contributes around 3% of global carbon emissions each year and the race to reduce such pollution is “well underway,” according to Goldman in a research note published Thursday.

The metal is used in the manufacturing of everything from airplanes to laptops.\nIn the note titled “The race for Green Aluminium: Upgrading prices & picking Green winners,” the analysts said they have “little doubt that investors should view aluminium as in the early stages of a multi-year bull market,” due to a combination of rising demand and “progressively larger” supply deficits.\nFirms that can reduce their emissions are set to see a “green premium” in their stock prices — and some may make billions of dollars from new green tech, Goldman added.\nHere are some of the bank’s stock picks:\n\nU.S. firm Alcoa is buy-rated by Goldman, which increased its earnings per share estimates by 14% for the year and by 30% for 2023 due to rising aluminum prices. The bank also likes Alcoa’s debt reduction plans and heightened focus on green targets, and added that new green tech the company is producing “could potentially be worth billions of $” to the firm.\n\n\nNorwegian company Hydro is also buy-rated for its sector-beating earnings growth, and green initiatives such as recycling and investment in battery technology, that offer “significant upside,” according to the analysts. Goldman did not detail EPS estimates, but upped its expectations for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization by 22% for this year.\n\n\nGoldman picked Russian producer Rusal— which is set tospin off its older, higher-emitting smeltersinto a separate company — raising its EPS estimates by 9% for the year, rising to a 29% increase in 2022. The bank likes its “strong earnings momentum.”\n\n\nAustralian mining company South32 is estimated to increase its EPS by 1% this year and 20% by 2023, Goldman said. While the bank said the firm isn’t doing as well at reducing emissions than its peers, it remains buy-rated due to its “strong” free cashflow outlook and likely increase in dividend returns.\n\nGreen premium\n“We think those companies that can reduce their emission intensity may attract a valuation premium vs. peers with the likely increase in green metal premia driven by demand from customers. Conversely, as we outlined in our Mining to Net Zero report, we think investors will likely penalise companies who do not reduce absolute emissions and emissions intensity and/or achieve targets,” Goldman’s analysts stated.\nCompanies are set to reduce their emissions by using hydro power to manufacture aluminum.\nA tight market\nA lack of supply combined with high demand is set to push aluminum prices to their highest levels since the late 2000s when they traded around $3,000 per metric ton, Goldman said. “The team upgraded their 12-month target to US$3,000/t from US$2,650/t which signals close to 20% upside from spot,” the bank’s analysts wrote.\n“The team expects the first half of the 2020s will see the lowest five-year period for global primary metal supply growth in close to 40 years. This will be set against a green reinforced demand environment, which will generate an extension through the 2020s of what has been a very strong decade for aluminium consumption in the 2010s,” the analysts added.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":410,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":126030862,"gmtCreate":1624536529556,"gmtModify":1703839654362,"author":{"id":"3581933019930023","authorId":"3581933019930023","name":"grondo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581933019930023","authorIdStr":"3581933019930023"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/126030862","repostId":"1146854687","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1146854687","pubTimestamp":1624536387,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1146854687?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-24 20:06","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Futures Jump To All Time Highs Ahead Of Fed Speaker, Econ Data Frenzy","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1146854687","media":"zerohedge","summary":"U.S. stock-index futures rose, with Nasdaq 100 contracts set for a fresh record and spoos just shy o","content":"<p>U.S. stock-index futures rose, with Nasdaq 100 contracts set for a fresh record and spoos just shy of all time highs, as investors were encouraged by dovish commentary form a barrage of Fed speakers which will continue today with Barkin, Williams, Bullard, Kaplan, Bostic Harker all speaking shortly after we get a slew of economic data.&nbsp; At 7:15 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis were up 168 points, or 0.5%, S&amp;P 500 e-minis were up 20 points, or 0.47%, and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were up 80 points, or 0.56%, to a record 14,344. 10Y yields were 1.49%, oil was flat, gold was trading near session highs and bitcoin rebounded from overnight lows.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/41f6efa7ff838cd45dad30bd4e180c00\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"265\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Big banks Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co added between 0.5% and 1.0%<b>ahead of the Fed's latest stress test results to be revealed at 430pm ET today.</b>Tesla rose 2.7% after Elon Musk said he would list SpaceX’s space internet venture, Starlink, when its cash flow is reasonably predictable, adding that Tesla shareholders could get preference in investing.

Despite the ongoing hawkish commentary, markets pushed higher realizing that the Fed can never again let stocks drop or else the entire ponzi scheme risks collapsing.</p>\n<p>Indeed, stock buyers have shaken off the hawkish turn by the Federal Reserve and are now viewing it as a way to bring inflation under control, according to Sebastien Galy, a Luxembourg-based strategist at Nordea Investment Funds.</p>\n<p><b>\"The interesting development over the past few days suggests that the markets are in a temporary stasis buying on dips as the fear of missing out prevails,\"</b>said Sebastien Galy, senior macro strategist at Nordea Asset Management. “<b>This is evident in the rotation into growth stocks which makes little sense in a time of likely rising interest rates as they are quite leveraged, though not all</b>.\" Still, Galy concluded that&nbsp; “we expect equity markets to continue to rebound in the coming weeks.\"</p>\n<p>In Europe, the Stoxx 600 Index gained 0.7%, led by the banking, hospitality and tech sectors. L’Oreal rose 2%, approaching an all-time high reached last week. Vodafone dropped 3.2% after its shares went ex-dividend. Here are some of the biggest European movers today:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Tecan shares rise as much as 16% to a record after the Swiss company said it will buy Paramit, a U.S. developer of medical devices and life science instruments, for $1b.

Across sectors, services and trade saw the strongest acceleration in momentum as the reopening of Germany's economy gathered pace. Similarly, the Insee index measuring France's business conditions rose to 113.0 in June, also beating expectations, with gains concentrated in services and retail trade. Overall, the national surveys for June are consistent with our forecast of a strong rebound in economic activity in the second and third quarters.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7a08b168f0fd0f3b6a254b8ad48455a6\" tg-width=\"749\" tg-height=\"755\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Earlier in the session, Asian&nbsp;stocks posted modest gains, supported by gains in Hong Kong, South Korea and India as investors assessed the latest remarks by Fed officials about the outlook for tapering measures. The MSCI&nbsp;Asia&nbsp;Pacific Index rose 0.1%, after dropping as much as 0.1%. India’s key stock gauges advanced to hold near recent record highs, with the country’s faster vaccination campaign continuing to boost investor sentiment.<b>China’s CSI 300 Index also climbed. The country’s central bank increased its injection of short-term cash into the financial system for the first time since March amid rising demand for liquidity.</b>Meanwhile, Thailand’s shares were among the worst performers in the region as pro-democracy protests returned to the streets and the central bank on Wednesday lowered its economic-growth outlook. “The overall picture is less dovish than it was,” said Ilya Spivak, head&nbsp;Asia&nbsp;Pacific strategist at DailyFX. “The APAC region is more sensitive, and we will see more volatility and downside risk because of companies’ exposure to dollar-denominated credit costs.” A gauge of 10-day historical volatility for shares has started flattening out after a spike following the Fed’s hawkish pivot last week. While a strengthening dollar is bad for&nbsp;Asian&nbsp;companies that borrow in the currency, some investors are expecting the region to be supported by longer-term Treasury yields that remain below 1.5% as well as attractive stock valuations. Among sectors, tech and material shares advanced, offsetting declines in defensives such as utilities.</p>\n<p>Key Indian stock gauges advanced to hold near recent all-time highs helped by gains in information technology companies, while the country’s faster vaccination campaign continued to boost investor sentiment. The S&amp;P BSE Sensex rose 0.8% to 52,699 in Mumbai after touching an intraday record of 53,057 on Tuesday. The NSE Nifty 50 Index also gained 0.7% to 15,790.45, near an all-time high reached last week. Eleven of the 19 sector sub-indexes compiled by BSE Ltd. climbed, led by a gauge of information technology companies. “We are in the middle of a bull phase which will last for a very, very long time,” Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, a billionaire investor known locally as India’s Warren Buffett, said in an interview earlier this month. “India will also look lucrative when the U.S. Federal Reserve begins to withdraw stimulus, but there will be short-term disruptions.” Index heavyweight Reliance Industries dropped 2.4% following its annual shareholders’ meeting, where Chairman Mukesh Ambani announced ambitious plans for clean energy as well as the conglomerate’s telecom business. The company’s plans include investing 750 billion rupees in clean energy over three years while it unveiled the much-awaited smartphone that has been co-developed with Alphabet Inc.’s Google. The rally in Indian shares is also being driven by the country’s pace of vaccinations. The Indian government said 6.5 million doses were administered in the 24 hours through Thursday morning, taking the total number of vaccinations to 301.6 million. “Markets are looking comfortable,” said Sandeep Jain, a strategist with Tradeswift Broking.</p>\n<p>In rates, Treasuries price action was choppy overnight, but yields broadly unchanged into early U.S. session with gilts outperforming following Bank of England policy decision. In 10-year sector gilts richer by 3bp vs. Treasuries, where yields sit around 1.487%. Treasury auctions conclude with $62b 7-year note sale at 1pm ET, follows solid 2- and 5-year auctions this week. WI 7-year yield at 1.26% is 2.5bp richer than May’s stop-out, which traded 0.6bp through. That said, futures volumes during&nbsp;Asia&nbsp;session were just 60% of recent averages.</p>\n<p>“U.S. Treasury yields have stayed close to the lows and the equity market continues to project a path for growth and earnings that is impossibly high in the long-run.” JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. said it may require employees to be vaccinated against Covid-19 as Wall Street’s biggest banks ramp up efforts to keep thousands of personnel safe while reopening U.S. workplaces.</p>\n<p>In FX, the Bloomberg Dollar Index fell to a day low in European hours as the greenback lost traction against most of its Group-of-10 peers, though most traded in narrow ranges. Scandinavian currencies led an advance amid a general improvement in risk sentiment; the Norwegian krone advanced as the price of Brent oil rose a second day. The euro shrugged off a stronger-than- forecast German Ifo business confidence survey to stay little changed. The sharp repricing in the front-end of the euro’s volatility skew makes case for the common currency to extend its rebound, possibly toward the $1.20 level. The pound swung to a gain against the greenback before the Bank of England meeting, with investors watching for any signs of the central bank shifting its messaging on inflation risks, even as it’s seen standing pat on interest rates at its meeting later on Thursday: see Decision Guide. The yen edged down to another 15-month low after weakening beyond 111 per dollar on Wednesday before erasing losses on demand over the Tokyo fixing.<b>South Korea’s won rose after central bank Governor&nbsp;Lee Ju-yeolsignaled interest-rate increases are in the pipeline.</b></p>\n<p>In commodities, it was a relatively uneventful and uninspiring session for the crude space thus far with WTI and Brent August’21 futures somewhat choppy throughout the morning but very much rangebound after flat APAC trade. The benchmarks post gains of 0.10/bbl and are around the mid-point of today’s range which is much more contained than the parameters of yesterday’s session, for instance. Fresh newsflow explicitly for the complex has been light and as such its very much a case of waiting for next week’s OPEC+ gathering given the weeks source reports and updates on the geopolitical front.<b>On this, attention around Iran is heightened as the IAEA agreement expires today ahead of a reported resumption in nuclear talks with the US from next week.</b></p>\n<p>Spot gold and silver have been firmer but remain in close proximity to unchanged levels deriving some impetus from the downbeat USD once again though upside is perhaps capped as yields are slightly higher. Base metals are pressured this morning with increasing attention on commodities broadly in China given inflation concerns. Elsewhere, UBS looks for a copper recovery in the next 6-12 months believing the market could be undersupplied by 603k/T and 461k/T in 2021 and 2022 respectively; for context, Glencore’s CEO said.</p>\n<p>Looking at the day ahead now, there are an array of central bank events, including the Bank of England’s monetary policy decision (discussed here),the release of the ECB’s Economic Bulletin, along with remarks from the Fed’s<b>Barkin, Bostic, Harker, Williams, Bullard and Kaplan</b>, and the ECB’s Panetta and Schnabel. Data releases from the US include the third estimate of Q1 GDP, the weekly initial jobless claims, the preliminary May reading for durable goods orders and the Kansas City Fed’s manufacturing index for June. Weekly initial jobless claims are expected to move back below 400,000 after last week’s surprise pop higher. This morning’s number may also show the impact of the gradual withdrawal of enhanced unemployment benefits from June 12 in some states.&nbsp; At 430pm the Federal Reserve will release its latest stress test results when markets close, with the big six banks expected to pass — paving the way for increased dividends and share buybacks.</p>\n<p><b>Market Snapshot</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>S&amp;P 500 futures up 0.4% to 4,249.75</li>\n <li>STOXX Europe 600 up 0.6% to 455.82</li>\n <li>German 10Y yield rose 0.6 bps to -0.171%</li>\n <li>Euro little changed at $1.1934</li>\n <li>MXAP little changed at 207.07</li>\n <li>MXAPJ up 0.2% to 695.30</li>\n <li>Nikkei little changed at 28,875.23</li>\n <li>Topix down 0.1% to 1,947.10</li>\n <li>Hang Seng Index up 0.2% to 28,882.46</li>\n <li>Shanghai Composite little changed at 3,566.65</li>\n <li>Sensex up 0.9% to 52,768.91</li>\n <li>Australia S&amp;P/ASX 200 down 0.3% to 7,275.27</li>\n <li>Kospi up 0.3% to 3,286.10</li>\n <li>Brent Futures up 0.6% to $75.65/bbl</li>\n <li>Gold spot up 0.1% to $1,780.92</li>\n <li>U.S. Dollar Index little changed at 91.74</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Top Overnight News from Bloomberg</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>China sued Australia over anti-dumping measures on some Chinese goods, further ratcheting up tensions between the two nations</li>\n <li>Australia &amp; New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. created a global fixed income trading business as part of a move to boost revenues across its franchises</li>\n <li>China’s central bank increased its short-term cash injection for the first time since March as it moved to soothe market concerns about liquidity conditions ahead of the quarter-end</li>\n <li>Advanced economies may need to rely more on fiscal spending if they want to avoid Japan’s fate of being trapped with low inflation and an empty monetary toolkit, according to new research from the ECB</li>\n</ul>\n<p><i>Quick look at global markets courtesy of Newsquawk</i></p>\n<p><b>Asia-Pac bourses saw a mixed and contained session following a lacklustre performance on Wall Street, where the S&amp;P 500 and DJIA closed with modest losses whilst the Nasdaq Composite squeezed out another record close, but off its intraday best of 14,317 for the cash, and 14,315.75 for the NQ.</b>Back to APAC, the ASX 200 (-0.3%) failed to benefit from the strong performance in its tech and mining names, whilst the Nikkei 225 (Unch) remained supported by softness in its currency, but the index is yet to convincingly breach 29k to the upside. The KOSPI (+0.4%) eked mild gains as a rise in June consumer confidence provided some positive omens. Hang Seng (+0.3%) and Shanghai Comp (U/C) traded within recent ranges as the region shrugged off the first increase in the PBoC's liquidity injection since March, albeit modest. In terms of stocks-specifics, Hoshine Silicon Industry shares slumped some 10% after Washington reportedly issued an order that blocks imports of solar panel materials from the Co. Finally, of note for the broader global chip sector, chip-giant TSMC flagged price hikes of 10-20% beginning next year, according to Chinese media.

Stateside, futures have picked up throughout the session (ES +0.4%) in tandem with their European counterparts. In the US, infrastructure talks continue to rumble on, albeit without causing much in the way of intraday price action. The latest updates have noted that a deal on the infrastructure framework has been reached among a bipartisan group of US senators; a meeting between the White House and the bipartisan group has been slated for later today. Back to Europe, sectors are mostly firmer and showing a largely pro-cyclical tilt as Financials, Basic Resources and Autos lead the charge. Travel &amp; Leisure names will be bracing themselves for the latest travel update from the UK, albeit some optimism for the sector has been tempered this week after German Chancellor Merkel urged EU nations to introduce quarantine measures for vaccinated Brits. The most notable corporate update thus far has come from Siemens (-0.5%) who sit at the foot of the DAX with investors unimpressed by its latest strategic blueprint which saw the Co. increase its growth target and launch a EUR 3bln share buyback between 2021-2026. Of note for chip names, reports in Chinese press suggested that TSMC is to hike prices by 10-20% in 2022.</p>\n<p><i>Top European News</i></p>\n<ul>\n <li>London West End Landlord Expects Retail Crisis to Get Even Worse</li>\n <li>Johnson to Convene London Summit as Capital Lags on Vaccines</li>\n <li>German, French Business Confidence Jumps as Lockdowns Ease</li>\n <li>European Insurance Stocks Undervalued, Berenberg Says</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>In FX,</b>the margins are quite fine, but the Kiwi and Franc are at opposite ends of the G10 table, with Nzd/Usd propped around 0.7050 within circa 0.7070-0.6935 w-t-d extremes, while Usd/Chf hovers nearer the top of its 0.9236-0.9155 range. The former is also outpacing its Antipodean peer ahead of NZ trade data, as the Aud/Nzd cross trades under 1.0750 and Aud/Usd pulls back from nigh on 0.7600 yesterday amidst ongoing Aussie-Chinese trade tensions. On that note, the latest riposte from Beijing has come via the WTO in the form of a lawsuit against Australia over anti-dumping measures. Elsewhere, the Euro is grinding higher vs the Buck in wake of all Ifo survey metrics surpassing expectations and prior readings in June along with relatively upbeat accompanying comments from the German institute, but Eur/Usd remains capped into 1.1950 and perhaps conscious of hefty option expiry interest down below (2 bn running off between 1.1930-20 at the NY cut).</p>\n<ul>\n <li>GBP/JPY - Sterling remains firm as the clock ticks down to high noon on Threadneedle Street, albeit not in great anticipation of a boost from the BoE given consensus for no change in policy or material shift in guidance. However, the MPC is widely tipped to be split on QE again with Haldane retaining his dissenting vote at this final meeting, if not joined by any other hawks – check out the Research Suite for a full preview of the event. Cable is currently straddling 1.3975 and staying technically bullish while above the 100 DMA circa 1.3949, while Eur/Gbp is back beneath 0.8550 and close to Wednesday’s multi-month lows around 0.8530. Meanwhile, the Yen has recovered from another retreat through 111.00 to give more credence to the notion that ample supply resides beyond the round number, and probably on behalf of Japanese exporters looking to hedge exposure. Moreover, option expiries at the 111.30 strike (1.12 bn) may keep Usd/Jpy in check and similar size at 110.75 (1.153 bn) underpinned.</li>\n <li>CAD/USD - The Loonie remains tethered to the 1.2300 handle vs its US rival and still deriving a degree of traction from firm oil prices awaiting Canadian manufacturing sales for potential independent direction, but the Greenback appears more likely to glean fundamental impetus from a packed agenda including prime data, more Fed speakers and 7 year supply. In the interim, chart levels could be key and influential for the DXY as the index holds in a tight range (91.873-700) following its failure to maintain 92.000+ status and midweek shave with 91.500 that is just shy of the 200 DMA.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>In commodities,</b>a relatively uneventful and uninspiring session for the crude space thus far with WTI and Brent August’21 futures somewhat choppy throughout the morning but very much rangebound after flat APAC trade. Currently, the benchmarks post gains of circa. USD 0.10/bbl and are around the mid-point of today’s range which is much more contained than the parameters of yesterday’s session, for instance. Fresh newsflow explicitly for the complex has been light and as such its very much a case of waiting for next week’s OPEC+ gathering given the weeks source reports and updates on the geopolitical front. On this, attention around Iran is heightened as the IAEA agreement expires today ahead of a reported resumption in nuclear talks with the US from next week. Moving to metals, spot gold and silver have been erring firmer but remain in close proximity to unchanged levels deriving some impetus from the downbeat USD once again though upside is perhaps capped as yields are slightly higher. Base metals are pressured this morning with increasing attention on commodities broadly in China given inflation concerns. Elsewhere, UBS looks for a copper recovery in the next 6-12 months believing the market could be undersupplied by 603k/T and 461k/T in 2021 and 2022 respectively; for context, Glencore’s CEO said.</p>\n<p><b>US Event Calendar</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>8:30am: May Durable Goods Orders, est. 2.8%, prior -1.3%; Less Transportation, est. 0.7%, prior 1.0%</li>\n <li>8:30am: 1Q GDP Annualized QoQ, est. 6.4%, prior 6.4%</li>\n <li>8:30am: June Initial Jobless Claims, est. 380,000, prior 412,000; Continuing Claims, est. 3.46m, prior 3.52m</li>\n <li>8:30am: May Advance Goods Trade Balance, est. -$87.5b, prior -$85.2b, revised -$85.7b</li>\n <li>8:30am: May Retail Inventories MoM, est. -0.5%, prior -1.6%, revised -1.8%; Wholesale Inventories MoM, est. 0.8%, prior 0.8%</li>\n <li>11am: June Kansas City Fed Manf.

In fact, for some areas it was as though last week’s moves had never happened, since although inflation expectations moved sharply lower straight after the Fed’s hawkish shift a week ago, with 10yr breakevens down to 2.24% by the close on Friday, they’ve since recovered +11.2bps over the 3 days this week to put them roughly back in line with where they were in the week before the Fed meeting. It was a similar story for equities, with the NASDAQ (+0.13%) eking out a gain to hit another all-time high, whilst the S&amp;P 500 (-0.11%) slipped back slightly, but still remained less than 0.5% away from its record close last week. So overall, markets for now seem to be more relaxed again about the Fed and inflation risks, even if they’re still pricing in a faster hiking cycle than the Fed themselves indicated in the dots last week.</p>\n<p>Paradoxically, the bigger risk-off moves came in Europe yesterday, where the STOXX 600 fell -0.73% in spite of some decent flash PMI reports from across the continent. To run through those, the Euro Area composite PMI came in at an above-expected 59.2 (vs. 58.8 expected), which marked the strongest pace of growth seen in 15 years for the single-currency bloc. That increase came as the services PMI rebounded strongly, climbing to 58.0 as expected (from 55.2 last month), whilst the manufacturing PMI remained unchanged from last month at 63.1. Germany in particular outperformed expectations, with their composite PMI up to 60.4, (vs. 57.6 expected) which is its highest since March 2011, whereas France slightly underwhelmed as the composite PMI only rose to 57.1 (vs. 59.0 expected). That said, inflation continued to be a notable theme and the PMIs pointed to noticeable price pressures in the Euro Area for both services and manufacturing.</p>\n<p>Speaking of price pressures, yesterday marked another strong session for commodities as they were another asset class that continued to put last week’s selloff behind them. In fact by the close, Brent crude (+0.51%) hit a fresh 2-year high of $75.19/bbl, while WTI (+0.03%) was just short of its own recent high. The continued gains for oil come amidst a tightening market, with the EIA in the US reporting that crude oil inventories fell -7.61m barrels, which is the 5th consecutive weekly decline, just as various economies are reopening again in light of the vaccine rollout. Other commodities also made gains in addition to oil, with metals including copper (+2.38%) rising on the day, along with agricultural prices such as corn (+0.68%) and wheat (+1.57%).</p>\n<p>Overnight in Asia, markets are trading mixed with the Nikkei (+0.16%) and Kospi (+0.41%) advancing, the Hang Seng (+0.04%) currently flat and the Shanghai Comp (-0.15%) moving lower. There were also fresh headlines on the US-China relationship, as Bloomberg reported the US is likely to impose a ban on some Chinese solar products made in the region of Xinjiang where China has been accused of committing human rights abuses. Elsewhere, US equity futures are pointing to further gains later, with those on the S&amp;P 500 up +0.29%.</p>\n<p>Looking ahead now, one of the main highlights today will be the Bank of England’s latest decision, out as 12:00 London time. In their preview (link here) our UK economists write that they expect the Monetary Policy Committee to remain cautiously optimistic around the recovery, keeping the policy rate on hold at 0.1%, and maintaining the target stock of QE at £895bn. They’re also not expecting big changes in the minutes and policy statement, but the risks are shifting towards a more hawkish MPC in the very near-term, with economic data tracking slightly better than the BoE expected in May.</p>\n<p>Staying on the UK, there was a geopolitical incident with Russia yesterday in the Black Sea, albeit with the two sides offering different descriptions of what took place. Russia said that a UK ship entered waters it claims as its own and ignored radio warnings, not leaving until bombs were dropped on its course. But the press office for the UK’s Ministry of Defence tweeted that the ship was “conducting innocent passage through Ukrainian territorial waters in accordance with international law”, and said that they didn’t recognise the claim that bombs were dropped on its path.</p>\n<p>There were also headlines on Russia in the FT, which reported yesterday that Germany and France had called for the EU to engage Russia more closely, building on the meeting that took place last week between Presidents Biden and Putin. According to the story, Chancellor Merkel and President Macron were in favour of inviting Putin to an EU leaders’ summit, and comes ahead of a summit taking place in Brussels later today among EU leaders, where the bloc’s relations with Russia are on the agenda for discussion.</p>\n<p>Over in the US, there was some movement in infrastructure talks as a bipartisan group of senators will be meeting with President Biden later today at the White House to present their outline of a $579bn package on roads, bridges and other physical projects. The Senate leaves for a two week recess starting Friday, so this is likely to be the last newsflow on any potential deal until mid-July. While the Republican senators in the group have dropped a potential gas tax, there remains significant disagreements on how to pay for the spending. Some more left-leaning Senate Democrats continue to ask the White House and Congressional leadership for a promise on a second more expansive bill through the reconciliation process. If both bills make it through Congress, it could amount to $2-3 trillion of additional government spending.</p>\n<p>Turning to the latest on the pandemic, there were further signs of concern in the UK as 16,135 new cases were reported yesterday, which is the highest daily total since February 6. And over the last week as a whole, cases are up +44% compared to the previous one. Nevertheless, there was some better news from the country, as data confirmed that over 60% of the adult population had now been fully vaccinated with both doses. Elsewhere, Switzerland confirmed that restrictions on entering the country would be relaxed, with those entering from the Schengen Area no longer required to quarantine, and testing requirements would now only apply to those coming by plane who’ve not been vaccinated or not recovered from Covid-19.Meanwhile, Brazil announced their largest one-day rise in Covid-19 cases yet (115,228) even as the vaccination programs have started to gather momentum. The country’s weekly case count surpassed India for the highest in the world last week, while much of South America is starting a new wave of infections just as their winter starts.</p>\n<p>There wasn’t much in the way of Federal Reserve speakers yesterday, though we did hear from Governor Bowman, who didn’t discuss the policy outlook but said that the “upward price pressures may ease as the bottlenecks are worked out, but it could take some time, and I will continue to monitor the situation closely and will adjust my outlook as needed.” Otherwise Atlanta Fed President Bostic (who’s an FOMC voter this year) said that he’d pulled forward his projection for the first hike in rates to late 2022 “given the upside surprises in recent data points”. Boston Fed President Rosengren (an alternate voting member this year) later played down the risks of persistent inflation, saying his “expectation is that most of the price increases we are seeing this year will be reversed as we get into next year.”</p>\n<p>Rounding off the rest of yesterday’s data, US new home sales unexpectedly fell to an annualised rate of 769k in May (vs. 865k expected), declining from a downwardly revised 817k in April. Separately, the current account deficit in Q1 widened to $195.7bn (vs. $206.2bn expected), and the composite PMI fell to 63.9 in June following its record high of 68.7 in May.</p>\n<p>To the day ahead now, and there are an array of central bank events, including the Bank of England’s monetary policy decision, the release of the ECB’s Economic Bulletin, along with remarks from the Fed’s Barkin, Bostic, Harker, Williams, Bullard and Kaplan, and the ECB’s Panetta and Schnabel. Data releases from the US include the third estimate of Q1 GDP, the weekly initial jobless claims, the preliminary May reading for durable goods orders and the Kansas City Fed’s manufacturing index for June. Meanwhile in Germany, the Ifo Institute’s business climate indicator for June will be coming out. Finally, EU leaders will gather in Brussels today for a European Council meeting.</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 Jump To All Time Highs Ahead Of Fed Speaker, Econ Data Frenzy</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;

First Solar climbed as the U.S. was said to be on the verge of barring some solar products made in China’s Xinjiang region. Mega-cap tech names Alphabet, Nvidia, Microsoft, Netflix and Facebook also gained between 0.4% and 0.6%, setting the Nasdaq for a record open. MGM Resorts International rose 2.7% after Deutsche Bank upgraded the casino operator’s stock to “buy” from “hold”.\nHere are some of the biggest U.S. movers today:\n\nRetail trader favorites gain in premarket trading with Clover Health (CLOV) rising 5.5% and Sundial (SNDL) gaining 6%.\nDaqo New Energy (DQ) drops 6.8% and JinkoSolar (JKS) slides 1.5% with the U.S. poised to block some solar products made in China’s Xinjiang region.\nInformation technology services provider DHI Group (DHX) surges 18% after the company’s board authorized a stock buyback program of up to $12 million.\nIndia Globalization Capital (IGC) rallies 35% after announcing it completed the final cohort of its Phase 1 clinical trial on its tetrahydrocannabinol drug, intended to alleviate Alzheimer’s disease symptoms.\n\nSo far this week, the value index, which includes economy-linked energy, financial and industrial stocks, and its tech-heavy growth counterpart are both up almost 1.8% following the Federal Reserve’s hawkish forecast from a week ago.\nOn Wednesday, Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan said the economy will likely meet the Fed’s threshold for tapering asset purchases sooner than people think, while his Atlanta peer Raphael Bostic said the central bank could decide to slow such purchases in the next few months. Despite the ongoing hawkish commentary, markets pushed higher realizing that the Fed can never again let stocks drop or else the entire ponzi scheme risks collapsing.\nIndeed, stock buyers have shaken off the hawkish turn by the Federal Reserve and are now viewing it as a way to bring inflation under control, according to Sebastien Galy, a Luxembourg-based strategist at Nordea Investment Funds.\n\"The interesting development over the past few days suggests that the markets are in a temporary stasis buying on dips as the fear of missing out prevails,\"said Sebastien Galy, senior macro strategist at Nordea Asset Management. “This is evident in the rotation into growth stocks which makes little sense in a time of likely rising interest rates as they are quite leveraged, though not all.\" Still, Galy concluded that  “we expect equity markets to continue to rebound in the coming weeks.\"\nIn Europe, the Stoxx 600 Index gained 0.7%, led by the banking, hospitality and tech sectors. L’Oreal rose 2%, approaching an all-time high reached last week. Vodafone dropped 3.2% after its shares went ex-dividend. Here are some of the biggest European movers today:\n\nTecan shares rise as much as 16% to a record after the Swiss company said it will buy Paramit, a U.S. developer of medical devices and life science instruments, for $1b. The deal is Tecan’s biggest ever, according to Berenberg.\nNext Fifteen soars as much as 13% to a record as a trading update prompts price target upgrades from Peel Hunt and Berenberg.\nBioArctic rises as much as 13% in the stock’s steepest intraday advance since June 7 after the U.S. FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for lecanemab, an investigational anti-amyloid beta protofibril antibody for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.\nCrest Nicholson adds as much as 5.3% with analysts saying the homebuilder’s 1H results show trading remains strong and that it is making progress on its turnaround.\nVifor Pharma Group falls as much as 4.5% after the pharmaceutical company revised the endpoints of one of its clinical trials as the pandemic affected enrollment.\nBT drops as much as 1.4% following the telecom operator’s enterprise business briefing, with UBS flagging ongoing headwinds, despite co. being “upbeat” on prospects for growth in the U.K. enterprise market.\n\nAlso in Europe, the euro shrugged off a stronger-than- forecast German Ifo business confidence survey to stay little changed. Germany's Ifo business climate index increased to 101.8 in June, well ahead of expectations.\nThe improvement was primarily driven by a better assessment of the current business environment, consistent with high-frequency data and the current conditions gauges across other surveys. Across sectors, services and trade saw the strongest acceleration in momentum as the reopening of Germany's economy gathered pace. Similarly, the Insee index measuring France's business conditions rose to 113.0 in June, also beating expectations, with gains concentrated in services and retail trade. Overall, the national surveys for June are consistent with our forecast of a strong rebound in economic activity in the second and third quarters.\nEarlier in the session, Asian stocks posted modest gains, supported by gains in Hong Kong, South Korea and India as investors assessed the latest remarks by Fed officials about the outlook for tapering measures. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose 0.1%, after dropping as much as 0.1%. India’s key stock gauges advanced to hold near recent record highs, with the country’s faster vaccination campaign continuing to boost investor sentiment.China’s CSI 300 Index also climbed. The country’s central bank increased its injection of short-term cash into the financial system for the first time since March amid rising demand for liquidity.Meanwhile, Thailand’s shares were among the worst performers in the region as pro-democracy protests returned to the streets and the central bank on Wednesday lowered its economic-growth outlook. “The overall picture is less dovish than it was,” said Ilya Spivak, head Asia Pacific strategist at DailyFX. “The APAC region is more sensitive, and we will see more volatility and downside risk because of companies’ exposure to dollar-denominated credit costs.” A gauge of 10-day historical volatility for shares has started flattening out after a spike following the Fed’s hawkish pivot last week. While a strengthening dollar is bad for Asian companies that borrow in the currency, some investors are expecting the region to be supported by longer-term Treasury yields that remain below 1.5% as well as attractive stock valuations. Among sectors, tech and material shares advanced, offsetting declines in defensives such as utilities.\nKey Indian stock gauges advanced to hold near recent all-time highs helped by gains in information technology companies, while the country’s faster vaccination campaign continued to boost investor sentiment. The S&P BSE Sensex rose 0.8% to 52,699 in Mumbai after touching an intraday record of 53,057 on Tuesday. The NSE Nifty 50 Index also gained 0.7% to 15,790.45, near an all-time high reached last week. Eleven of the 19 sector sub-indexes compiled by BSE Ltd. climbed, led by a gauge of information technology companies. “We are in the middle of a bull phase which will last for a very, very long time,” Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, a billionaire investor known locally as India’s Warren Buffett, said in an interview earlier this month. “India will also look lucrative when the U.S. Federal Reserve begins to withdraw stimulus, but there will be short-term disruptions.” Index heavyweight Reliance Industries dropped 2.4% following its annual shareholders’ meeting, where Chairman Mukesh Ambani announced ambitious plans for clean energy as well as the conglomerate’s telecom business. The company’s plans include investing 750 billion rupees in clean energy over three years while it unveiled the much-awaited smartphone that has been co-developed with Alphabet Inc.’s Google. The rally in Indian shares is also being driven by the country’s pace of vaccinations. The Indian government said 6.5 million doses were administered in the 24 hours through Thursday morning, taking the total number of vaccinations to 301.6 million. “Markets are looking comfortable,” said Sandeep Jain, a strategist with Tradeswift Broking.\nIn rates, Treasuries price action was choppy overnight, but yields broadly unchanged into early U.S. session with gilts outperforming following Bank of England policy decision. In 10-year sector gilts richer by 3bp vs. Treasuries, where yields sit around 1.487%. Treasury auctions conclude with $62b 7-year note sale at 1pm ET, follows solid 2- and 5-year auctions this week. WI 7-year yield at 1.26% is 2.5bp richer than May’s stop-out, which traded 0.6bp through. That said, futures volumes during Asia session were just 60% of recent averages.\n“U.S. Treasury yields have stayed close to the lows and the equity market continues to project a path for growth and earnings that is impossibly high in the long-run.” JPMorgan Chase & Co. said it may require employees to be vaccinated against Covid-19 as Wall Street’s biggest banks ramp up efforts to keep thousands of personnel safe while reopening U.S. workplaces.\nIn FX, the Bloomberg Dollar Index fell to a day low in European hours as the greenback lost traction against most of its Group-of-10 peers, though most traded in narrow ranges. Scandinavian currencies led an advance amid a general improvement in risk sentiment; the Norwegian krone advanced as the price of Brent oil rose a second day. The euro shrugged off a stronger-than- forecast German Ifo business confidence survey to stay little changed. The sharp repricing in the front-end of the euro’s volatility skew makes case for the common currency to extend its rebound, possibly toward the $1.20 level. The pound swung to a gain against the greenback before the Bank of England meeting, with investors watching for any signs of the central bank shifting its messaging on inflation risks, even as it’s seen standing pat on interest rates at its meeting later on Thursday: see Decision Guide. The yen edged down to another 15-month low after weakening beyond 111 per dollar on Wednesday before erasing losses on demand over the Tokyo fixing.South Korea’s won rose after central bank Governor Lee Ju-yeolsignaled interest-rate increases are in the pipeline.\nIn commodities, it was a relatively uneventful and uninspiring session for the crude space thus far with WTI and Brent August’21 futures somewhat choppy throughout the morning but very much rangebound after flat APAC trade. The benchmarks post gains of 0.10/bbl and are around the mid-point of today’s range which is much more contained than the parameters of yesterday’s session, for instance. Fresh newsflow explicitly for the complex has been light and as such its very much a case of waiting for next week’s OPEC+ gathering given the weeks source reports and updates on the geopolitical front.On this, attention around Iran is heightened as the IAEA agreement expires today ahead of a reported resumption in nuclear talks with the US from next week.\nSpot gold and silver have been firmer but remain in close proximity to unchanged levels deriving some impetus from the downbeat USD once again though upside is perhaps capped as yields are slightly higher. Base metals are pressured this morning with increasing attention on commodities broadly in China given inflation concerns. Elsewhere, UBS looks for a copper recovery in the next 6-12 months believing the market could be undersupplied by 603k/T and 461k/T in 2021 and 2022 respectively; for context, Glencore’s CEO said.\nLooking at the day ahead now, there are an array of central bank events, including the Bank of England’s monetary policy decision (discussed here),the release of the ECB’s Economic Bulletin, along with remarks from the Fed’sBarkin, Bostic, Harker, Williams, Bullard and Kaplan, and the ECB’s Panetta and Schnabel. Data releases from the US include the third estimate of Q1 GDP, the weekly initial jobless claims, the preliminary May reading for durable goods orders and the Kansas City Fed’s manufacturing index for June. Weekly initial jobless claims are expected to move back below 400,000 after last week’s surprise pop higher. This morning’s number may also show the impact of the gradual withdrawal of enhanced unemployment benefits from June 12 in some states.  At 430pm the Federal Reserve will release its latest stress test results when markets close, with the big six banks expected to pass — paving the way for increased dividends and share buybacks.\nMarket Snapshot\n\nS&P 500 futures up 0.4% to 4,249.75\nSTOXX Europe 600 up 0.6% to 455.82\nGerman 10Y yield rose 0.6 bps to -0.171%\nEuro little changed at $1.1934\nMXAP little changed at 207.07\nMXAPJ up 0.2% to 695.30\nNikkei little changed at 28,875.23\nTopix down 0.1% to 1,947.10\nHang Seng Index up 0.2% to 28,882.46\nShanghai Composite little changed at 3,566.65\nSensex up 0.9% to 52,768.91\nAustralia S&P/ASX 200 down 0.3% to 7,275.27\nKospi up 0.3% to 3,286.10\nBrent Futures up 0.6% to $75.65/bbl\nGold spot up 0.1% to $1,780.92\nU.S. Dollar Index little changed at 91.74\n\nTop Overnight News from Bloomberg\n\nChina sued Australia over anti-dumping measures on some Chinese goods, further ratcheting up tensions between the two nations\nAustralia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. created a global fixed income trading business as part of a move to boost revenues across its franchises\nChina’s central bank increased its short-term cash injection for the first time since March as it moved to soothe market concerns about liquidity conditions ahead of the quarter-end\nAdvanced economies may need to rely more on fiscal spending if they want to avoid Japan’s fate of being trapped with low inflation and an empty monetary toolkit, according to new research from the ECB\n\nQuick look at global markets courtesy of Newsquawk\nAsia-Pac bourses saw a mixed and contained session following a lacklustre performance on Wall Street, where the S&P 500 and DJIA closed with modest losses whilst the Nasdaq Composite squeezed out another record close, but off its intraday best of 14,317 for the cash, and 14,315.75 for the NQ.Back to APAC, the ASX 200 (-0.3%) failed to benefit from the strong performance in its tech and mining names, whilst the Nikkei 225 (Unch) remained supported by softness in its currency, but the index is yet to convincingly breach 29k to the upside. The KOSPI (+0.4%) eked mild gains as a rise in June consumer confidence provided some positive omens. Hang Seng (+0.3%) and Shanghai Comp (U/C) traded within recent ranges as the region shrugged off the first increase in the PBoC's liquidity injection since March, albeit modest. In terms of stocks-specifics, Hoshine Silicon Industry shares slumped some 10% after Washington reportedly issued an order that blocks imports of solar panel materials from the Co. Finally, of note for the broader global chip sector, chip-giant TSMC flagged price hikes of 10-20% beginning next year, according to Chinese media. Finally, JGB futures meanwhile trade flat and in tandem with its US and German counterparts.\nTop Asian News\n\nPhilippines Leaves Key Rate Steady Amid ‘Tentative’ Recovery\nJapan Stands Pat on Economic Assessment as Latest Emergency Ends\nChina Sues Australia at WTO Over Tariffs in Hit to Strained Ties\nIran Poised to Miss Nuclear Monitoring Deadline Clouding Talks\n\nEuropean equities kicked the session off on a firmer footing (Eurostoxx 50 +0.9%) with sentiment bolstered by a marginally better-than-expected German IFO report (Business Climate 101.8 vs. Exp. 100.6) and economists noting that the domestic economy is picking up speed. Stateside, futures have picked up throughout the session (ES +0.4%) in tandem with their European counterparts. In the US, infrastructure talks continue to rumble on, albeit without causing much in the way of intraday price action. The latest updates have noted that a deal on the infrastructure framework has been reached among a bipartisan group of US senators; a meeting between the White House and the bipartisan group has been slated for later today. Back to Europe, sectors are mostly firmer and showing a largely pro-cyclical tilt as Financials, Basic Resources and Autos lead the charge. Travel & Leisure names will be bracing themselves for the latest travel update from the UK, albeit some optimism for the sector has been tempered this week after German Chancellor Merkel urged EU nations to introduce quarantine measures for vaccinated Brits. The most notable corporate update thus far has come from Siemens (-0.5%) who sit at the foot of the DAX with investors unimpressed by its latest strategic blueprint which saw the Co. increase its growth target and launch a EUR 3bln share buyback between 2021-2026. Of note for chip names, reports in Chinese press suggested that TSMC is to hike prices by 10-20% in 2022.\nTop European News\n\nLondon West End Landlord Expects Retail Crisis to Get Even Worse\nJohnson to Convene London Summit as Capital Lags on Vaccines\nGerman, French Business Confidence Jumps as Lockdowns Ease\nEuropean Insurance Stocks Undervalued, Berenberg Says\n\nIn FX,the margins are quite fine, but the Kiwi and Franc are at opposite ends of the G10 table, with Nzd/Usd propped around 0.7050 within circa 0.7070-0.6935 w-t-d extremes, while Usd/Chf hovers nearer the top of its 0.9236-0.9155 range. The former is also outpacing its Antipodean peer ahead of NZ trade data, as the Aud/Nzd cross trades under 1.0750 and Aud/Usd pulls back from nigh on 0.7600 yesterday amidst ongoing Aussie-Chinese trade tensions. On that note, the latest riposte from Beijing has come via the WTO in the form of a lawsuit against Australia over anti-dumping measures. Elsewhere, the Euro is grinding higher vs the Buck in wake of all Ifo survey metrics surpassing expectations and prior readings in June along with relatively upbeat accompanying comments from the German institute, but Eur/Usd remains capped into 1.1950 and perhaps conscious of hefty option expiry interest down below (2 bn running off between 1.1930-20 at the NY cut).\n\nGBP/JPY - Sterling remains firm as the clock ticks down to high noon on Threadneedle Street, albeit not in great anticipation of a boost from the BoE given consensus for no change in policy or material shift in guidance. However, the MPC is widely tipped to be split on QE again with Haldane retaining his dissenting vote at this final meeting, if not joined by any other hawks – check out the Research Suite for a full preview of the event. Cable is currently straddling 1.3975 and staying technically bullish while above the 100 DMA circa 1.3949, while Eur/Gbp is back beneath 0.8550 and close to Wednesday’s multi-month lows around 0.8530. Meanwhile, the Yen has recovered from another retreat through 111.00 to give more credence to the notion that ample supply resides beyond the round number, and probably on behalf of Japanese exporters looking to hedge exposure. Moreover, option expiries at the 111.30 strike (1.12 bn) may keep Usd/Jpy in check and similar size at 110.75 (1.153 bn) underpinned.\nCAD/USD - The Loonie remains tethered to the 1.2300 handle vs its US rival and still deriving a degree of traction from firm oil prices awaiting Canadian manufacturing sales for potential independent direction, but the Greenback appears more likely to glean fundamental impetus from a packed agenda including prime data, more Fed speakers and 7 year supply. In the interim, chart levels could be key and influential for the DXY as the index holds in a tight range (91.873-700) following its failure to maintain 92.000+ status and midweek shave with 91.500 that is just shy of the 200 DMA.\n\nIn commodities,a relatively uneventful and uninspiring session for the crude space thus far with WTI and Brent August’21 futures somewhat choppy throughout the morning but very much rangebound after flat APAC trade. Currently, the benchmarks post gains of circa. USD 0.10/bbl and are around the mid-point of today’s range which is much more contained than the parameters of yesterday’s session, for instance. Fresh newsflow explicitly for the complex has been light and as such its very much a case of waiting for next week’s OPEC+ gathering given the weeks source reports and updates on the geopolitical front. On this, attention around Iran is heightened as the IAEA agreement expires today ahead of a reported resumption in nuclear talks with the US from next week. Moving to metals, spot gold and silver have been erring firmer but remain in close proximity to unchanged levels deriving some impetus from the downbeat USD once again though upside is perhaps capped as yields are slightly higher. Base metals are pressured this morning with increasing attention on commodities broadly in China given inflation concerns.

In fact, for some areas it was as though last week’s moves had never happened, since although inflation expectations moved sharply lower straight after the Fed’s hawkish shift a week ago, with 10yr breakevens down to 2.24% by the close on Friday, they’ve since recovered +11.2bps over the 3 days this week to put them roughly back in line with where they were in the week before the Fed meeting. It was a similar story for equities, with the NASDAQ (+0.13%) eking out a gain to hit another all-time high, whilst the S&P 500 (-0.11%) slipped back slightly, but still remained less than 0.5% away from its record close last week. So overall, markets for now seem to be more relaxed again about the Fed and inflation risks, even if they’re still pricing in a faster hiking cycle than the Fed themselves indicated in the dots last week.\nParadoxically, the bigger risk-off moves came in Europe yesterday, where the STOXX 600 fell -0.73% in spite of some decent flash PMI reports from across the continent. To run through those, the Euro Area composite PMI came in at an above-expected 59.2 (vs. 58.8 expected), which marked the strongest pace of growth seen in 15 years for the single-currency bloc. That increase came as the services PMI rebounded strongly, climbing to 58.0 as expected (from 55.2 last month), whilst the manufacturing PMI remained unchanged from last month at 63.1. Germany in particular outperformed expectations, with their composite PMI up to 60.4, (vs. 57.6 expected) which is its highest since March 2011, whereas France slightly underwhelmed as the composite PMI only rose to 57.1 (vs. 59.0 expected). That said, inflation continued to be a notable theme and the PMIs pointed to noticeable price pressures in the Euro Area for both services and manufacturing.\nSpeaking of price pressures, yesterday marked another strong session for commodities as they were another asset class that continued to put last week’s selloff behind them. In fact by the close, Brent crude (+0.51%) hit a fresh 2-year high of $75.19/bbl, while WTI (+0.03%) was just short of its own recent high. The continued gains for oil come amidst a tightening market, with the EIA in the US reporting that crude oil inventories fell -7.61m barrels, which is the 5th consecutive weekly decline, just as various economies are reopening again in light of the vaccine rollout. Other commodities also made gains in addition to oil, with metals including copper (+2.38%) rising on the day, along with agricultural prices such as corn (+0.68%) and wheat (+1.57%).\nOvernight in Asia, markets are trading mixed with the Nikkei (+0.16%) and Kospi (+0.41%) advancing, the Hang Seng (+0.04%) currently flat and the Shanghai Comp (-0.15%) moving lower. There were also fresh headlines on the US-China relationship, as Bloomberg reported the US is likely to impose a ban on some Chinese solar products made in the region of Xinjiang where China has been accused of committing human rights abuses. Elsewhere, US equity futures are pointing to further gains later, with those on the S&P 500 up +0.29%.\nLooking ahead now, one of the main highlights today will be the Bank of England’s latest decision, out as 12:00 London time. In their preview (link here) our UK economists write that they expect the Monetary Policy Committee to remain cautiously optimistic around the recovery, keeping the policy rate on hold at 0.1%, and maintaining the target stock of QE at £895bn. They’re also not expecting big changes in the minutes and policy statement, but the risks are shifting towards a more hawkish MPC in the very near-term, with economic data tracking slightly better than the BoE expected in May.\nStaying on the UK, there was a geopolitical incident with Russia yesterday in the Black Sea, albeit with the two sides offering different descriptions of what took place. Russia said that a UK ship entered waters it claims as its own and ignored radio warnings, not leaving until bombs were dropped on its course. But the press office for the UK’s Ministry of Defence tweeted that the ship was “conducting innocent passage through Ukrainian territorial waters in accordance with international law”, and said that they didn’t recognise the claim that bombs were dropped on its path.\nThere were also headlines on Russia in the FT, which reported yesterday that Germany and France had called for the EU to engage Russia more closely, building on the meeting that took place last week between Presidents Biden and Putin. According to the story, Chancellor Merkel and President Macron were in favour of inviting Putin to an EU leaders’ summit, and comes ahead of a summit taking place in Brussels later today among EU leaders, where the bloc’s relations with Russia are on the agenda for discussion.\nOver in the US, there was some movement in infrastructure talks as a bipartisan group of senators will be meeting with President Biden later today at the White House to present their outline of a $579bn package on roads, bridges and other physical projects. The Senate leaves for a two week recess starting Friday, so this is likely to be the last newsflow on any potential deal until mid-July. While the Republican senators in the group have dropped a potential gas tax, there remains significant disagreements on how to pay for the spending. Some more left-leaning Senate Democrats continue to ask the White House and Congressional leadership for a promise on a second more expansive bill through the reconciliation process. If both bills make it through Congress, it could amount to $2-3 trillion of additional government spending.\nTurning to the latest on the pandemic, there were further signs of concern in the UK as 16,135 new cases were reported yesterday, which is the highest daily total since February 6. And over the last week as a whole, cases are up +44% compared to the previous one. Nevertheless, there was some better news from the country, as data confirmed that over 60% of the adult population had now been fully vaccinated with both doses. Elsewhere, Switzerland confirmed that restrictions on entering the country would be relaxed, with those entering from the Schengen Area no longer required to quarantine, and testing requirements would now only apply to those coming by plane who’ve not been vaccinated or not recovered from Covid-19.Meanwhile, Brazil announced their largest one-day rise in Covid-19 cases yet (115,228) even as the vaccination programs have started to gather momentum. The country’s weekly case count surpassed India for the highest in the world last week, while much of South America is starting a new wave of infections just as their winter starts.\nThere wasn’t much in the way of Federal Reserve speakers yesterday, though we did hear from Governor Bowman, who didn’t discuss the policy outlook but said that the “upward price pressures may ease as the bottlenecks are worked out, but it could take some time, and I will continue to monitor the situation closely and will adjust my outlook as needed.” Otherwise Atlanta Fed President Bostic (who’s an FOMC voter this year) said that he’d pulled forward his projection for the first hike in rates to late 2022 “given the upside surprises in recent data points”. Boston Fed President Rosengren (an alternate voting member this year) later played down the risks of persistent inflation, saying his “expectation is that most of the price increases we are seeing this year will be reversed as we get into next year.”\nRounding off the rest of yesterday’s data, US new home sales unexpectedly fell to an annualised rate of 769k in May (vs. 865k expected), declining from a downwardly revised 817k in April. Separately, the current account deficit in Q1 widened to $195.7bn (vs. $206.2bn expected), and the composite PMI fell to 63.9 in June following its record high of 68.7 in May.\nTo the day ahead now, and there are an array of central bank events, including the Bank of England’s monetary policy decision, the release of the ECB’s Economic Bulletin, along with remarks from the Fed’s Barkin, Bostic, Harker, Williams, Bullard and Kaplan, and the ECB’s Panetta and Schnabel. Data releases from the US include the third estimate of Q1 GDP, the weekly initial jobless claims, the preliminary May reading for durable goods orders and the Kansas City Fed’s manufacturing index for June. Meanwhile in Germany, the Ifo Institute’s business climate indicator for June will be coming out. Finally, EU leaders will gather in Brussels today for a European Council meeting.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":200,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":126030301,"gmtCreate":1624536515503,"gmtModify":1703839654198,"author":{"id":"3581933019930023","authorId":"3581933019930023","name":"grondo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581933019930023","authorIdStr":"3581933019930023"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/126030301","repostId":"1187819280","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1187819280","pubTimestamp":1624529642,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1187819280?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-24 18:14","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The ‘shelter in suburbia’ trade is about to reverse — and these stocks will suffer","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1187819280","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"5 reasons the pandemic megatrend is over.\n\nOne of the biggest investment stories of the COVID-19 pan","content":"<blockquote>\n <b>5 reasons the pandemic megatrend is over.</b>\n</blockquote>\n<p>One of the biggest investment stories of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the boom in consumer discretionary stocks with a “shelter in suburbia” theme. From e-commerce platforms to home improvement stores to furniture and housewares merchants, many of the top performers have fit this flavor.</p>\n<p>Take the broad-based Vanguard Consumer Discretionary Index Fund ETF VCR, +0.66% that surged more than 90% from March 2020 to March 2021. That was thanks to components like home improvement stocks Lowe’s LOW, -0.30% and Home Depot HD, -0.33% alongside retailers like TJX TJX, -0.08%.</p>\n<p>Lately, however, performance has started to lag for many of these names. In fact, since April 1 we’ve seen these three stocks all drift slightly into the red even as the S&amp;P 500 SPX, -0.11% has tacked on about 6% in the same period.</p>\n<p>And some fear that may only be the beginning. As one Wall Street insider said recently in a Bloomberg interview, a “huge unwind” is coming for stay-at-home stocks, including hardware stores and home-goods merchants.</p>\n<p>While some big-name “suburbia” trades are still relatively stable, signs of trouble are already emerging at the fringes. Century Communities CCS, -0.34% and Dream Finders Homes DFH, -2.55%, two mid-tier single family homebuilders, have seen shares crash by double digits over the last month. On the furnishings side, appliance giant Whirlpool Corporation WHR, -0.51% and department store Nordstrom JWN, +2.03% are down sharply from their spring highs.</p>\n<p><b>Here are five big reasons why:</b></p>\n<p><b>1.</b>&nbsp;<b>The upgrade cycle is over</b></p>\n<p>Last summer, white-collar workers who were stuck at home made note of overdue projects and took advantage of being able to easily meet with contractors. But in many ways, this growth is not sustainable.</p>\n<p>Consider the kind of purchases homeowners were making according to data from the NPD Group. Faucets, kitchen cabinets and even toilets were among the most popular products sold in 2020. Needless to say, even the most profligate homeowners aren’t going to follow this upgrade cycle of remodeling kitchens and bathrooms on an annual basis.</p>\n<p>The same is true for furniture and other home goods. Internet giant Comscore recorded the highest visitation to related websites in history in May 2020 with 133 million web surfers shopping for some kind of home goods. Once again, a new couch or lamp is not an annual purchase — so this trend seems unsustainable for much longer.</p>\n<p><b>2.&nbsp;Valuations are stretched</b></p>\n<p>Speaking of post-pandemic peaks for home-goods purveyors, we’ve seen the financials bear out these big increases via boosted profits and sales. However, we’ve also seen the stock of many related merchants surge even more — stretching their valuations from historical norms.</p>\n<p>Take TJX. Currently this discount retailer has a forward price-to-earnings ratio of more than 26, compared with a forward P/E of just 21 in spring 2020. Its trailing price-to-sales ratio is now 2.1 compared with 1.4.</p>\n<p>What’s more, valuations for previous darlings like TJX are out of line with peers, too. Consider the forward P/E of the overall S&amp;P 500 index is 22 right now, and other similar names like Macy’s M, +0.70% and Big Lots BIG, -3.71% actually have forward P/E ratios well under 10. You can argue TJX is unique, of course… but you also may want to be aware of what “fair value” looks like for many other stocks outside fashionable stay-at-home trades right now.</p>\n<p><b>3.&nbsp;Delays and shortages</b></p>\n<p>Future growth from pandemic-fueled peaks in these stocks is not impossible, of course.

From e-commerce platforms to home improvement stores to furniture and housewares merchants, many of the top performers have fit this flavor.\nTake the broad-based Vanguard Consumer Discretionary Index Fund ETF VCR, +0.66% that surged more than 90% from March 2020 to March 2021. That was thanks to components like home improvement stocks Lowe’s LOW, -0.30% and Home Depot HD, -0.33% alongside retailers like TJX TJX, -0.08%.\nLately, however, performance has started to lag for many of these names. In fact, since April 1 we’ve seen these three stocks all drift slightly into the red even as the S&P 500 SPX, -0.11% has tacked on about 6% in the same period.\nAnd some fear that may only be the beginning. As one Wall Street insider said recently in a Bloomberg interview, a “huge unwind” is coming for stay-at-home stocks, including hardware stores and home-goods merchants.\nWhile some big-name “suburbia” trades are still relatively stable, signs of trouble are already emerging at the fringes. Century Communities CCS, -0.34% and Dream Finders Homes DFH, -2.55%, two mid-tier single family homebuilders, have seen shares crash by double digits over the last month. On the furnishings side, appliance giant Whirlpool Corporation WHR, -0.51% and department store Nordstrom JWN, +2.03% are down sharply from their spring highs.\nHere are five big reasons why:\n1. The upgrade cycle is over\nLast summer, white-collar workers who were stuck at home made note of overdue projects and took advantage of being able to easily meet with contractors. But in many ways, this growth is not sustainable.\nConsider the kind of purchases homeowners were making according to data from the NPD Group. Faucets, kitchen cabinets and even toilets were among the most popular products sold in 2020. Needless to say, even the most profligate homeowners aren’t going to follow this upgrade cycle of remodeling kitchens and bathrooms on an annual basis.\nThe same is true for furniture and other home goods. Internet giant Comscore recorded the highest visitation to related websites in history in May 2020 with 133 million web surfers shopping for some kind of home goods. Once again, a new couch or lamp is not an annual purchase — so this trend seems unsustainable for much longer.\n2. Valuations are stretched\nSpeaking of post-pandemic peaks for home-goods purveyors, we’ve seen the financials bear out these big increases via boosted profits and sales. However, we’ve also seen the stock of many related merchants surge even more — stretching their valuations from historical norms.\nTake TJX. Currently this discount retailer has a forward price-to-earnings ratio of more than 26, compared with a forward P/E of just 21 in spring 2020. Its trailing price-to-sales ratio is now 2.1 compared with 1.4.\nWhat’s more, valuations for previous darlings like TJX are out of line with peers, too. Consider the forward P/E of the overall S&P 500 index is 22 right now, and other similar names like Macy’s M, +0.70% and Big Lots BIG, -3.71% actually have forward P/E ratios well under 10. You can argue TJX is unique, of course… but you also may want to be aware of what “fair value” looks like for many other stocks outside fashionable stay-at-home trades right now.\n3. Delays and shortages\nFuture growth from pandemic-fueled peaks in these stocks is not impossible, of course. But given supply chain disruptions it seems highly unlikely. There are a host of reasons for these delays, including overseas shipping delays as well as capacity and output crunches that are affecting many industries, but “stay at home” stocks seem particularly hard hit.\nHome improvement products are simply nowhere to be found, with roughly 94% of builders reporting “at least some serious shortages of appliances” according to the National Association of Home Builders. Another 93% are running short on framing lumber and 87% say it is hard to obtain windows and doors.\nEven if you can get past demand concerns, without the raw materials to get to work it’s very hard to see future growth in this category.\n4. Inflationary pressures\nFor the people who haven’t already ponied up the cash for a contractor or made their peace with extended delays for their expensive new furniture, there is a pretty big disincentive right now for new shoppers: inflation.\nThe cost of living as measured by the Consumer Price Index jumped 0.6% in May to run at a 5% annual rate. That was not only higher than expectations, but the fastest pace since the summer of 2008. The inflation risks were so pronounced that the Federal Reserve publicly stated it could move up the schedule for expected interest rate increases to keep the risks under wraps.\nInflation isn’t always a death knell, of course. But it has historically eroded purchasing power and could curtail some of the spending in “stay at home” stocks that we’ve seen in the last year or so.\n5. Home-equity hubris\nSpeaking of red-hot inflation: In May, the median price for U.S. homes topped $350,000 for the first time ever — up 23.6% from 2020. What’s more, a Realtor.com survey showed roughly a third of selling homeowners expect to get more than their asking price, and roughly the same amount expect an offer within a week of listing.\nSome of this is justifiable. Many articles have been written in recent years about the dearth of supply in attractive markets, and it’s important to acknowledge the remote work of the pandemic has indeed created some disruptive introspection into why people live where they do.\nBut here’s where things get dicey: homeowners who have already spent the expected premium on their home’s price well in advance. According to Freddie Mac, about $152.7 billion in equity loans were taken out on U.S. houses last year, a massive increase of 41.7% from 2019 and the highest refinancing cash-out dollar amount since 2007.\nAnyone remember what happened to the real-estate market in 2007? Or the similar sense of seller entitlement from those days? There’s no clear signs of a bubble bursting just yet, but there’s real risk American homeowners may be overly optimistic about what their homes are worth — and a chance this home equity loan free-for-all simply isn’t sustainable for much longer.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":254,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":165486426,"gmtCreate":1624154960065,"gmtModify":1703829577805,"author":{"id":"3581933019930023","authorId":"3581933019930023","name":"grondo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581933019930023","authorIdStr":"3581933019930023"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yes","listText":"Yes","text":"Yes","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/165486426","repostId":"1183124175","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1183124175","pubTimestamp":1624151620,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1183124175?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-20 09:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Beware these risky tech stocks in your portfolio, strategist Parker warns","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1183124175","media":"cnbc","summary":"As investors cycle back into growth stocks, one market strategist warns against certain technology names he believes are high risk.Growth stocks are shares of companies expected to grow at a faster rate than the rest of the market.

That much is true.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately pretty much everything else about inflation—a red hot topic these days—is conjecture. And that’s vexing, not just for the dismal scientists (aka economists), but for all of us, because whether or not prices are really rising, by how much and for how long, has massive implications in our lives. Or as Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, says: “Inflation is one of the mysteries of economic study and thought. A difficult thing to gauge and forecast and get right. That’s why the risks are high.”</p>\n<p>The current debate over inflation really revolves around two questions: First, is this current spate of inflation, just that, a spate—or to use Wall Street’s buzzword of the moment, “transitory,”—or not? (Just to give you an idea of how buzzy, when I Google the word “transitory” the search engine suggests “inflation” after it.) And second, transitory (aka temporary) inflation or not, what does it suggest for the economy and markets?</p>\n<p>Before I get into that, let me lay out what’s going on with prices right now. First, know that inflation,which peaked in 1980 at an annualized rate of 13.55%,has been tame for quite some time, specifically 4% or less for nearly 30 years. Which means that anyone 40 years old or younger has no experience with inflation other than maybe from an Econ 101 textbook. Obviously that could be a problem.</p>\n<p>As an aside I remember President Ford in 1974 trying to jawbone inflation down with his \"Whip Inflation Now\" campaign, which featured“Win” buttons,earringsand evenugly sweaters.None of this worked and it took draconian measures by Fed Chair Paul Volcker (raising rates and targeting money supply,as described by Former President of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, William Poole)to eventually tame inflation and keep it under wraps for all those years.</p>\n<p>Until now perhaps. Last week theLabor Department reported that consumer prices (the CPI, or consumer price index) rose 5% in May,the fastest annual rate in nearly 13 years—which was when the economy was overheating from the housing boom which subsequently went bust and sent the economy off a cliff and into the Great Recession. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was up 3.8%, the biggest increase since May 1992. (For the record, the likelihood of the economy tanking right now is de minimis.)</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/87f75dfcb98fb5a0e7c3f9d3f8d336e2\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"412\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Used car and truck prices are a major driver of inflation, climbing 7.3% last month and 29.7% over the past year. New car prices are up too, which have pushed upshares of Ford and GM a remarkable 40% plus this year.Clearly Americans want to buy vehicles to go on vacation and get back to work. And Yahoo Finance’sJanna Herron reportsthat rents are rising at their fastest pace in 15 years.</p>\n<p>To be sure, not all prices are climbing.As Yahoo Finance’s Rick Newman points out,prices are not up much at all for health care, education and are basically flat for technology, including computers, smartphones and internet service (an important point which we’ll get back to.)</p>\n<p>But that’s the counterpoint really. Americans are obsessed with cars, housing is critical and many of us are experiencing sticker shock booking travel this summer. Higher prices are front and center. Wall Street too is in a tizzy about inflation, and concerns about it and more importantly Federal Reserve policy in response to inflation (see below), sent stocks lower with the S&amp;P 500 down 1.91% this week, its worst week since February.</p>\n<p>Given this backdrop, the tension (such as it is) was high when the Fed met this week to deliver its forecast and for Chair Jay Powell to answer questions from the media. Or at least so said hedge fund honcho Paul Tudor Jones,who characterized the proceedings on CNBCas “the most important meeting in [Chairman] Jay Powell’s career, certainly the most important Fed meeting of the past four or five years.” Jones was critical of the Fed, which he believes is now stimulating the economy unnecessarily by keeping interest rates low and by buying financial assets. Unnecessarily, Jones says, because the economy is already running hot and needs no support. The Fed (which is in the transitory camp when it comes to inflation) risks overheating the economy by creating runaway inflation, according to PTJ.</p>\n<p>Now I don’t see eye to eye with Jones on this, though I should point out, he's a billionaire from investing in financial markets, and let’s just say I’m not. I should also point out that Jones, 66, is in fact old enough to remember inflation, never mind that as a young man he called the 1987 stock market crash. So we should all ignore Jones at our peril.</p>\n<p>As for what the Fed put forth this past Wednesday, well it wasn’t much, signaling an expectation ofraising interest rates twice by the end of 2023(yes, that is down the road.) And Powell, who’s become much more adept at not rippling the waters these days after some rougher forays earlier in his tenure, didn’t drop any bombshells in the presser.</p>\n<p>Which brings us to the question of why the Federal Reserve isn’t so concerned about inflation and thinks it is mostly—here’s that word again—transitory. To answer that, we need to first address why prices are rising right now, which can be summed up in one very familiar abbreviation: COVID-19. When COVID hit last spring the economy collapsed, which crushed demand in sectors like leisure, travel and retail. Now the economy is roaring back to life and businesses can raise prices, certainly over 2020 levels.</p>\n<p>“We clearly should’ve expected it,” says William Spriggs, chief economist at the AFL-CIO and a professor of economics at Howard University. “You can’t shut down the economy and think you turn on the switch [without some inflation].”</p>\n<p>“We had a pandemic that forced an artificial shutdown of the economy in a way that even the collapse of the financial system and the housing market didn’t, and we had a snapback at a rate we’ve never seen before—not because of the fundamentals driving recovery but because of government,” says Joel Naroff, president and chief economist of Naroff Economics.</p>\n<p>COVID had other secondary effects on the economy though, besides just ultimately producing a snapback. For one thing, the pandemic throttled supply chains, specifically the shipping of parts and components from one part of the globe to another. It also confused managers about how much to produce and therefore how many parts to order.</p>\n<p>A prime example here is what happened to the chip (semiconductor) and auto industrieswhich I wrote about last month.Car makers thought no one would buy vehicles during the pandemic and pared back their orders with chipmakers, (which were having a tough time shipping their chips anyway.) Turned out the car guys were wrong, millions of people wanted cars and trucks, but the automakers didn’t have enough chips for their cars and had to curb production. Fewer vehicles and strong demand led to higher new car prices, which cascaded to used car prices then to car rental rates. Net net, all the friction and slowness of getting things delivered now adds to costs which causes companies to raise prices.</p>\n<p>Another secondary effect of COVID which has been inflationary comes from employment,which I got into a bit last week.We all know millions were thrown out of work by COVID last year, many of whom were backstopped by government payments that could add up to $600 a week (state and federal.) These folks have been none too keen on coming back to work for minimum wage, or $290 a week. So to lure them back employers are having to pay more, which puts more money in people's pockets which allows stores for example to raise prices.</p>\n<p><b>Anti-inflation forces</b></p>\n<p>But here’s the big-time question: If COVID was temporary, and therefore its effects are temporary and inflation is one of its effects then doesn’t it follow, ipso facto, that inflation is (OK I’ll say it again), transitory?</p>\n<p>I say yes, (with a bit of a caveat.) And most economists, like Claudia Sahm, a senior fellow at the Jain Family Institute and a former Federal Reserve economist, agree. “‘Transitory’ has become a buzzword,” she says. “It is important to be more concrete about what we mean by that. We’re probably going to see in the next few months inflation numbers that are bigger than average, but as long as they keep stepping down, that’s the sign of it being transitory. If we didn’t see any sign of inflation stepping down some, it would’ve started feeling like ‘Houston, we have a problem.’”</p>\n<p>To buttress my argument beyond that above \"if-then\" syllogism, let’s take a look at why inflation has been so low for the past three decades.</p>\n<p>To me this is mostly obvious. Prices have been tamped down by the greatest anti-inflation force of our lifetime, that being technology, specifically the explosion of consumer technology. Think about it. The first wave of technology, a good example would be IBM mainframes, saved big companies money in back-office functions, savings which they mostly kept for themselves (higher profits) and their shareholders. But the four great landmark events in the advent of consumer technology; the introduction ofthe PC in 1974 (MITS Altair),the Netscape IPO of 1995,Google search in 1998,and the launch of theiPhone in 2007(I remember Steve Jobs demoing it to me like it was yesterday), greatly accelerated, broadened and deepened this deflationary trend.</p>\n<p>Not only has technology been pushing down the cost of everything from drilling for oil, to manufacturing clothes to farming, and allowing for the creation of groundbreaking (and deflationary) competitors like Uber, Airbnb and Netflix, but it also let consumers find—on their phones—the most affordable trip to Hawaii, the least expensive haircut or the best deal on Nikes.</p>\n<p>So technology has reduced the cost of almost everything and will continue to do so the rest of our lifetime. Bottom line: Unless something terrible happens, the power of technology will outweigh and outlive COVID.</p>\n<p>There is one mitigating factor and that is globalism, which is connected to both technology and COVID. Let me briefly explain.</p>\n<p>After World War II, most of humanity has become more and more connected in terms of trade, communication, travel, etc. (See supply chain above.) Technology of course was a major enabler here; better ships, planes and faster internet, all of which as it grew more potent, accelerated globalism. Another element was the introduction of political constructs like the World Trade Organization and NAFTA. (I think of the Clinton administration andChina joining the WTO in 2001as perhaps the high-water marks of globalization.)</p>\n<p>Like its technological cousin, globalism has deflationary effects particularly on the labor front as companies could more and more easily find lowest cost countries to produce goods and source materials. And like technology, globalization seemed inexorable, which it was, until it wasn’t. Political winds, manifested by the likes of Brexit and leaders like Putin, Xi Jinping, Erdogan, Bolsonaro, Duterte and of course Donald Trump have caused globalism to wane and anti-globalism and nationalism to wax.</p>\n<p>The internet too, once seen as only a great connector, has also become a global divider, as the world increasingly fractures into Chinese, U.S. and European walled digital zones when it comes to social media and search for example. Security risks, privacy, spying and hacking of course divide us further here too.</p>\n<p>So technology, which had made globalism stronger and stronger, now also makes it weaker and weaker.</p>\n<p>COVID plays a role in rethinking globalism as it exposes vulnerabilities in the supply chain. Companies that were rethinking their manufacturing in China but considering another country, are now wondering if it just makes sense to repatriate the whole shebang. Supply chains that were optimized for cost only are being rethought with security and reliability being factored in and that costs money.</p>\n<p>How significant is this decline in globalization and how permanent is it? Good questions. But my point here is whether or not \"globalism disrupted\" is transitory (!) or not, it could push prices up, (in the short and intermediate run at least), as cost is sacrificed for predictability. Longer term I say Americans are a resourceful people. We’ll figure out how to make cost effective stuff in the U.S. It’s also likely that globalism will trend upward again, though perhaps not as unfettered as it once was.</p>\n<p>More downward pressure on pricing could come from shifts in employment practices. Mark Zandi points out that “the work-from-anywhere dynamic could depress wage growth and prices. If I don’t need to work in New York anymore and could live in Tampa, it stands to reason my wage could get cut or I won’t get the same wage increase in the future.”</p>\n<p>And so what is Zandi’s take on transitory? “What we’re observing now is prices going back to pre-pandemic,” he says. “The price spikes we’re experiencing now will continue for the next few months through summer but certainly by the end of year, this time next year, they will have disappeared. I do think underlying inflation will be higher post-pandemic than pre-pandemic, but that’s a feature not a bug.”</p>\n<p>I don’t disagree. To me it’s simple: The technology wave I’ve described above is bigger than COVID and bigger than the rise and fall of globalism. And that is why, ladies and gentlemen, I believe inflation will be transitory, certainly in the long run. (Though I’m well aware of whatJohn Maynard Keynes said about the long run.)</p>","source":"lsy1612507957220","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>Answering the great inflation question of our time</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\">\nAnswering the great inflation question of our time\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-20 09:19 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/answering-the-great-inflation-question-of-our-time-114153460.html><strong>finance.yahoo</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Prices of everything; a house in Phoenix, a Ford F-150, a plane ticket to New York, have all gone up.

That much is true.\nUnfortunately pretty much everything else about inflation—a red hot topic these days—is conjecture. And that’s vexing, not just for the dismal scientists (aka economists), but for all of us, because whether or not prices are really rising, by how much and for how long, has massive implications in our lives. Or as Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, says: “Inflation is one of the mysteries of economic study and thought. A difficult thing to gauge and forecast and get right. That’s why the risks are high.”\nThe current debate over inflation really revolves around two questions: First, is this current spate of inflation, just that, a spate—or to use Wall Street’s buzzword of the moment, “transitory,”—or not? (Just to give you an idea of how buzzy, when I Google the word “transitory” the search engine suggests “inflation” after it.) And second, transitory (aka temporary) inflation or not, what does it suggest for the economy and markets?\nBefore I get into that, let me lay out what’s going on with prices right now. First, know that inflation,which peaked in 1980 at an annualized rate of 13.55%,has been tame for quite some time, specifically 4% or less for nearly 30 years. Which means that anyone 40 years old or younger has no experience with inflation other than maybe from an Econ 101 textbook. Obviously that could be a problem.\nAs an aside I remember President Ford in 1974 trying to jawbone inflation down with his \"Whip Inflation Now\" campaign, which featured“Win” buttons,earringsand evenugly sweaters.None of this worked and it took draconian measures by Fed Chair Paul Volcker (raising rates and targeting money supply,as described by Former President of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, William Poole)to eventually tame inflation and keep it under wraps for all those years.\nUntil now perhaps. Last week theLabor Department reported that consumer prices (the CPI, or consumer price index) rose 5% in May,the fastest annual rate in nearly 13 years—which was when the economy was overheating from the housing boom which subsequently went bust and sent the economy off a cliff and into the Great Recession. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was up 3.8%, the biggest increase since May 1992. (For the record, the likelihood of the economy tanking right now is de minimis.)\n\nUsed car and truck prices are a major driver of inflation, climbing 7.3% last month and 29.7% over the past year. New car prices are up too, which have pushed upshares of Ford and GM a remarkable 40% plus this year.Clearly Americans want to buy vehicles to go on vacation and get back to work. And Yahoo Finance’sJanna Herron reportsthat rents are rising at their fastest pace in 15 years.\nTo be sure, not all prices are climbing.As Yahoo Finance’s Rick Newman points out,prices are not up much at all for health care, education and are basically flat for technology, including computers, smartphones and internet service (an important point which we’ll get back to.)\nBut that’s the counterpoint really. Americans are obsessed with cars, housing is critical and many of us are experiencing sticker shock booking travel this summer. Higher prices are front and center. Wall Street too is in a tizzy about inflation, and concerns about it and more importantly Federal Reserve policy in response to inflation (see below), sent stocks lower with the S&P 500 down 1.91% this week, its worst week since February.\nGiven this backdrop, the tension (such as it is) was high when the Fed met this week to deliver its forecast and for Chair Jay Powell to answer questions from the media.
