Good Times\" presentation in the 2008 crisis.\nFast forward to July 2021, and tech investors are writing bigger checks than ever. According to CB Insights, start-ups have raised $292.4 billion globally so far this year, on track to beat the $302.6 billion raised throughout 2020.\nThe number of so-called \"mega rounds\" — massive, $100 million-plus venture deals — has climbed to 751 in 2021 year-to-date, already beating the 665 mega rounds that were raised last year.\n\"This feels a lot like 1999 to me,\" Hussein Kanji, a partner at U.K. venture capital firm Hoxton Ventures, told CNBC. \"You had so much supply, so much enthusiasm.\"\n\"There was an era where if you put dot-com in your name, your public market stock would go up,\" he added. \"There was so much enthusiasm for catching the next big thing.\"\n\nDot-com companies were all the rage on Wall Street in the late 1990s, amid growing adoption of the internet. Speculative investing fueled a 400% climb in theNasdaq Compositestock market index between 1995 and 2000. By October 2002, it had plunged almost 80% from its peak.\nIn the past five years, the Nasdaq has nearly tripled, with the market values of several large-cap tech stocks, includingAmazon,GoogleandFacebook, crossing the $1 trillion mark.MicrosoftandAppleare currently worth more than $2 trillion.\nNow, skyrocketing valuations of private tech firms are causing concern for some investors. U.S. payments processor Stripe wasvalued at a whopping $95 billionin March, illustrating the growing trend of start-ups staying private for longer.\nA record 249 firms achieved $1 billion \"unicorn\" valuations in the first half of 2021, according to CB Insights, almost double the number of unicorns produced during the course of last year.\n\n\"It's a great time to fundraise as an entrepreneur,\" Andrei Brasoveanu, partner at venture capital firm Accel, told CNBC. \"The quality of companies and the speed at which these companies grow is just unprecedented.\"\nThe 'FOMO' factor\nTiger Global, a hedge fund known for its bets on pre-IPO tech companies, has gained a much larger presence in venture capital lately. Meanwhile, Japanese conglomerate SoftBank hasshaken up the world of start-up investingin recent years with its massive Vision Fund.\nThe increased competition in venture dealmaking hasn't gone unnoticed by investors. Private tech valuations are getting \"more and more distant from reality\" due to a \"fear of missing out,\" Hoxton Ventures' Kanji said.\nIana Dimitrova, CEO of U.K. fintech start-up OpenPayd, said her firm is in the process of raising money. \"We have investors saying, 'You're asking too small a ticket, we only write $100 million-plus tickets,'\" Dimitrova told CNBC.\nSome investors have \"very limited understanding\" of OpenPayd's software, which lets other companies offer financial services, but are making offers \"simply because it's now the space to be in.\"\nFintech companies represented 22% of global venture funding in the second quarter, according to CB Insights.\n\"Investors are increasingly writing higher and higher checks,\" Dimitrova continued. \"Frankly, I see that as detrimental to the long-term sustainability of our industry because businesses are not focused on generating value, they're focused on burning and deploying cash.\"\nA low interest rate environment has led to a huge amount of \"dry powder\" being deployed in risky venture bets, she added.\nEurope's tech boom\nThere are a number of differences between today and the dot-com bubble of 1999, according to Kanji. For one, the bubble of '99 was driven far more by \"hype\" than fundamentals, he said, whereas now \"the markets are there and the companies are there.\"\nAnother trend is \"bootstrapped\" firms which raised no external investment before announcing sizable first funding rounds. U.S. software firm Articulate, which was founded in 2002,announceda $1.5 billion Series A round at the start of July.\nMeanwhile, though Europe has long lagged behind America and China on tech, the continent has seen a significant increase in start-up investment. Europe saw huge growth in venture investment this year, whereas funding to China-based companies declined.\n\"This whole remote work trend has accelerated digital transformation, and has also brought European companies access to global markets,\" Brasoveanu said. \"You can sell on Zoom just as well from Romania as you would in New York.\"\nStart-ups in Europe raised nearly $50 billion in the first six months of 2021,surpassingthe $38 billion raised by firms in the continent in all of 2020, according to Factset. A number of European tech companies have seen their valuations climb to the tens of billions, including Swedish battery makerNorthvolt, buy-now-pay-later providerKlarnaand German enterprise software start-upCelonis.\nA number of European start-ups hit unicorn valuation in record time over the past year. Earlier this year,online grocery app Gorillasbecame the fastest company in Europe to reach unicorn status, beating a record previously set byonline events company Hopinin 2020.\nThe frenzy of private capital raising in tech has led to a growing pipeline of companies that look set to go public. The U.S. saw a flurry of major tech listings over the past year, includingAirbnbandCoinbase, while Britain last week hosted one of the biggest European floats of 2021 with theblockbuster direct listingof fintech firmWise.\nAnd the special purpose acquisition company, orSPAC, phenomenon has provided another alternative for high-growth firms thinking of making their public market debut. U.K. health tech firm Babylon, for example, is set to list through a merger with a blank-check company later this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":349,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":140314504,"gmtCreate":1625629187308,"gmtModify":1703745266136,"author":{"id":"3584225860430865","authorId":"3584225860430865","name":"Jwong","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3584225860430865","idStr":"3584225860430865"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Which stock is better- xpeng or byd?&nbsp;","listText":"Which stock is better- xpeng or byd?&nbsp;","text":"Which stock is better- xpeng or byd?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/140314504","repostId":"2149360674","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2149360674","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1625626744,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2149360674?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-07 10:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Chinese EV maker Xpeng loses steam in HK debut; smaller newcomer Chaoju Eye shines","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2149360674","media":"Reuters","summary":"Shares of Chinese electric vehicle $(EV)$ maker Xpeng Inc trade as low as HK$159.30, down 3.5% from ","content":"<p>Shares of Chinese electric vehicle <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EV\">$(EV)$</a> maker Xpeng Inc&nbsp;trade as low as HK$159.30, down 3.5% from the offer price of HK$165 apiece in the company's dual primary listing debut in Hong Kong</p>\n<p>Stock loses steam after climbing as much as 2.1% to HK$168.50; among the 30 most actively trade by turnover</p>\n<p>Xpeng's New York-listed American Depository Shares <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ADS\">$(ADS)$</a> were up 0.7% late on Tuesday at $44.05 each.

Why Investors Should Be Skeptical.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1197906560","media":"Barron's","summary":"On its face, the June jobs report looksalmost perfect. After months of disappointments, hiring beat ","content":"<p>On its face, the June jobs report looksalmost perfect. After months of disappointments, hiring beat Wall Street’s expectations—with wages rising, but at a cooler pace than the lofty levels of spring.</p>\n<p>One might be tempted to declare the labor shortage over and the inflation debate done. But investors shouldn’t take the bait just yet. While a nonfarm payroll increase of 850,000 is undeniably strong, it belies a labor market still plagued with supply problems.</p>\n<p>First, consider that government hiring rose 193,000 last month. That accounts for the entire headline overshoot versus economists’ expectations. Company payrolls increased 662,000, which would be incredible for normal times. Yet it was still far off the one million mark that economists had anticipated by this point in the recovery, as the economy bursts open and vaccinated consumers spend the trillions of dollars in cash stashed during the pandemic.</p>\n<p>What’s more, private payrolls came in well short of the one million implied by closely watched data from employee-scheduling company Homebase, says Ian Shepherdson of Pantheon Macroeconomics.</p>\n<p>Second, labor-force participation was flat in June despite better hiring. That rate, 61.6%, is still down 1.7 percentage points from its prepandemic level. The employment-population ratio, which Federal Reserve officials have said they are watching, was also unchanged in June; at 58%, it remains 3.1 percentage points below its prepandemic level.</p>\n<p>Third, the slowdown in wage growth is deceiving. The 0.3% increase from May looks like a Goldilocks print—enough to drive continued spending without fueling inflation fears that have been building as shortages from labor to chips to food push prices broadly higher.</p>\n<p>“If anything, this understates the true rate of underlying wage inflation,” says Jefferies chief economist Aneta Markowska of the June wage increase. After adjusting for the return of low-wage leisure, hospitality, and retail workers, average hourly earnings rose by 0.5% in June from May, she says. By that measure, they are up 4.5% from a year earlier. Over the past three months, overall wages are up an annualized 6% as companies chase workers, says Gad Levanon of the Conference Board.</p>\n<p>Further highlighting the fact that hiring is still being held back by supply, not demand: On an annualized basis this year, leisure and hospitality wages are up 12.3%, transportation and warehousing pay is up 8%, and retail wages are up 5.5%.</p>\n<p>So, what’s an investor to make of the June jobs report? Nothing. Which is to say, the latest data do nothing to resolve the biggest questions facing the labor market.</p>\n<p>The degrees to which transitory factors—generous unemployment benefits, child-care issues, and Covid-19 concerns—are capping hiring and driving up wages won’t be clear for months. Schools need to reopen to resolve child-care issues holding back working parents, and enhanced unemployment pay needs to expire before it becomes clear the extent to which such benefits are keeping workers home.</p>\n<p>While about two dozen states either started cutting or are about to cut the extra $300 a week in unemployment insurance ahead of the federal program’s Sept. 6 expiration, Shepherdson notes that 70% of those unemployed won’t be affected by those early terminations. Because the June report does nothing to move the Fed’s needle, it shouldn’t stop the stock market from forging ahead.</p>\n<p>At least for now. “You can’t be unhappy to see an 850,000 payroll print, but it’s nowhere near fast enough,” Shepherdson says, especially given labor demand as evidenced by myriad indicators, help-wanted signs, and company commentary. “The labor-supply problem may fix itself, but it may not,” he says. “The issue really is that we could end up with sustained wage inflation.” Policy makers, however, will punt until they have definitive data—and that won’t be until November.</p>\n<p>All of this means that data between now and the fall are noise. Many economists and investors are expecting the Fed to announce, at the annual Jackson Hole symposium next month, plans to taper its $120 billion in monthly asset purchases.</p>\n<p>Not so fast, Shepherdson says. “This isn’t as linear as markets would like, and it won’t be clear by Jackson Hole,” he says.</p>\n<p>If that’s right—that the Fed won’t have the data they want in time to lay out taper plans until later in the fall—an even longer period of ultraloose monetary policy might be in store. That is assuming there’s time for officials to telegraph plans well ahead of actually starting to withdraw support.</p>\n<p>Therein lies the risk of tuning out the noise, or the employment data, between now and the fall. If the resumption of school and the end to enhanced unemployment benefits don’t bring workers back, it will become clear that structural issues are at play and wage inflation is thus more persistent. As Shepherdson puts it, there is a strong likelihood that the Fed has to raise interest rates in 2022 because there is a good chance people won’t come back into the labor force.</p>\n<p>Investors should continue to enjoythe stock market gains.

After months of disappointments, hiring beat Wall Street’s expectations—with wages rising, but at a cooler pace than the lofty levels of spring.\nOne might be tempted to declare the labor shortage over and the inflation debate done. But investors shouldn’t take the bait just yet. While a nonfarm payroll increase of 850,000 is undeniably strong, it belies a labor market still plagued with supply problems.\nFirst, consider that government hiring rose 193,000 last month. That accounts for the entire headline overshoot versus economists’ expectations. Company payrolls increased 662,000, which would be incredible for normal times. Yet it was still far off the one million mark that economists had anticipated by this point in the recovery, as the economy bursts open and vaccinated consumers spend the trillions of dollars in cash stashed during the pandemic.\nWhat’s more, private payrolls came in well short of the one million implied by closely watched data from employee-scheduling company Homebase, says Ian Shepherdson of Pantheon Macroeconomics.\nSecond, labor-force participation was flat in June despite better hiring. That rate, 61.6%, is still down 1.7 percentage points from its prepandemic level. The employment-population ratio, which Federal Reserve officials have said they are watching, was also unchanged in June; at 58%, it remains 3.1 percentage points below its prepandemic level.\nThird, the slowdown in wage growth is deceiving. The 0.3% increase from May looks like a Goldilocks print—enough to drive continued spending without fueling inflation fears that have been building as shortages from labor to chips to food push prices broadly higher.\n“If anything, this understates the true rate of underlying wage inflation,” says Jefferies chief economist Aneta Markowska of the June wage increase. After adjusting for the return of low-wage leisure, hospitality, and retail workers, average hourly earnings rose by 0.5% in June from May, she says. By that measure, they are up 4.5% from a year earlier. Over the past three months, overall wages are up an annualized 6% as companies chase workers, says Gad Levanon of the Conference Board.\nFurther highlighting the fact that hiring is still being held back by supply, not demand: On an annualized basis this year, leisure and hospitality wages are up 12.3%, transportation and warehousing pay is up 8%, and retail wages are up 5.5%.\nSo, what’s an investor to make of the June jobs report? Nothing. Which is to say, the latest data do nothing to resolve the biggest questions facing the labor market.\nThe degrees to which transitory factors—generous unemployment benefits, child-care issues, and Covid-19 concerns—are capping hiring and driving up wages won’t be clear for months. Schools need to reopen to resolve child-care issues holding back working parents, and enhanced unemployment pay needs to expire before it becomes clear the extent to which such benefits are keeping workers home.\nWhile about two dozen states either started cutting or are about to cut the extra $300 a week in unemployment insurance ahead of the federal program’s Sept. 6 expiration, Shepherdson notes that 70% of those unemployed won’t be affected by those early terminations. Because the June report does nothing to move the Fed’s needle, it shouldn’t stop the stock market from forging ahead.\nAt least for now. “You can’t be unhappy to see an 850,000 payroll print, but it’s nowhere near fast enough,” Shepherdson says, especially given labor demand as evidenced by myriad indicators, help-wanted signs, and company commentary. “The labor-supply problem may fix itself, but it may not,” he says. “The issue really is that we could end up with sustained wage inflation.” Policy makers, however, will punt until they have definitive data—and that won’t be until November.\nAll of this means that data between now and the fall are noise. Many economists and investors are expecting the Fed to announce, at the annual Jackson Hole symposium next month, plans to taper its $120 billion in monthly asset purchases.\nNot so fast, Shepherdson says. “This isn’t as linear as markets would like, and it won’t be clear by Jackson Hole,” he says.\nIf that’s right—that the Fed won’t have the data they want in time to lay out taper plans until later in the fall—an even longer period of ultraloose monetary policy might be in store. That is assuming there’s time for officials to telegraph plans well ahead of actually starting to withdraw support.\nTherein lies the risk of tuning out the noise, or the employment data, between now and the fall. If the resumption of school and the end to enhanced unemployment benefits don’t bring workers back, it will become clear that structural issues are at play and wage inflation is thus more persistent. As Shepherdson puts it, there is a strong likelihood that the Fed has to raise interest rates in 2022 because there is a good chance people won’t come back into the labor force.\nInvestors should continue to enjoythe stock market gains. But they should also be careful. Waiting for definitive data to show whether the labor shortage is more than transitory means policy makers might have to act sooner and faster than it would seem—especially if deceivingly balanced reports like June’s dot the next few months.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":345,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":156159897,"gmtCreate":1625204446619,"gmtModify":1703738324226,"author":{"id":"3584225860430865","authorId":"3584225860430865","name":"Jwong","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3584225860430865","idStr":"3584225860430865"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Does

Officials penciled in two rate hikes for 2023 and seven of the 18 policy makers want to raise rates in 2022, up from four in March.\nFed Chair Jerome Powell has said that recent steep increases in inflation will prove to be largely transitory due to bottlenecks and that expectations on the whole are where the Fed wants them.\nInflation Forecasts\nThe personal consumption expenditures price gauge that the Fed uses for its inflation target rose 3.9% in May from a year earlier, the most since 2008. The IMF forecasts the increase to be transitory, with the index peaking at 4.3% and dropping to around 2.5% by the end of 2022.

Good Times\" presentation in the 2008 crisis.\nFast forward to July 2021, and tech investors are writing bigger checks than ever. According to CB Insights, start-ups have raised $292.4 billion globally so far this year, on track to beat the $302.6 billion raised throughout 2020.\nThe number of so-called \"mega rounds\" — massive, $100 million-plus venture deals — has climbed to 751 in 2021 year-to-date, already beating the 665 mega rounds that were raised last year.\n\"This feels a lot like 1999 to me,\" Hussein Kanji, a partner at U.K. venture capital firm Hoxton Ventures, told CNBC. \"You had so much supply, so much enthusiasm.\"\n\"There was an era where if you put dot-com in your name, your public market stock would go up,\" he added. \"There was so much enthusiasm for catching the next big thing.\"\n\nDot-com companies were all the rage on Wall Street in the late 1990s, amid growing adoption of the internet. Speculative investing fueled a 400% climb in theNasdaq Compositestock market index between 1995 and 2000. By October 2002, it had plunged almost 80% from its peak.\nIn the past five years, the Nasdaq has nearly tripled, with the market values of several large-cap tech stocks, includingAmazon,GoogleandFacebook, crossing the $1 trillion mark.MicrosoftandAppleare currently worth more than $2 trillion.\nNow, skyrocketing valuations of private tech firms are causing concern for some investors. U.S. payments processor Stripe wasvalued at a whopping $95 billionin March, illustrating the growing trend of start-ups staying private for longer.\nA record 249 firms achieved $1 billion \"unicorn\" valuations in the first half of 2021, according to CB Insights, almost double the number of unicorns produced during the course of last year.\n\n\"It's a great time to fundraise as an entrepreneur,\" Andrei Brasoveanu, partner at venture capital firm Accel, told CNBC. \"The quality of companies and the speed at which these companies grow is just unprecedented.\"\nThe 'FOMO' factor\nTiger Global, a hedge fund known for its bets on pre-IPO tech companies, has gained a much larger presence in venture capital lately. Meanwhile, Japanese conglomerate SoftBank hasshaken up the world of start-up investingin recent years with its massive Vision Fund.\nThe increased competition in venture dealmaking hasn't gone unnoticed by investors. Private tech valuations are getting \"more and more distant from reality\" due to a \"fear of missing out,\" Hoxton Ventures' Kanji said.\nIana Dimitrova, CEO of U.K. fintech start-up OpenPayd, said her firm is in the process of raising money. \"We have investors saying, 'You're asking too small a ticket, we only write $100 million-plus tickets,'\" Dimitrova told CNBC.\nSome investors have \"very limited understanding\" of OpenPayd's software, which lets other companies offer financial services, but are making offers \"simply because it's now the space to be in.\"\nFintech companies represented 22% of global venture funding in the second quarter, according to CB Insights.\n\"Investors are increasingly writing higher and higher checks,\" Dimitrova continued. \"Frankly, I see that as detrimental to the long-term sustainability of our industry because businesses are not focused on generating value, they're focused on burning and deploying cash.\"\nA low interest rate environment has led to a huge amount of \"dry powder\" being deployed in risky venture bets, she added.\nEurope's tech boom\nThere are a number of differences between today and the dot-com bubble of 1999, according to Kanji. For one, the bubble of '99 was driven far more by \"hype\" than fundamentals, he said, whereas now \"the markets are there and the companies are there.\"\nAnother trend is \"bootstrapped\" firms which raised no external investment before announcing sizable first funding rounds. U.S. software firm Articulate, which was founded in 2002,announceda $1.5 billion Series A round at the start of July.\nMeanwhile, though Europe has long lagged behind America and China on tech, the continent has seen a significant increase in start-up investment. Europe saw huge growth in venture investment this year, whereas funding to China-based companies declined.\n\"This whole remote work trend has accelerated digital transformation, and has also brought European companies access to global markets,\" Brasoveanu said. \"You can sell on Zoom just as well from Romania as you would in New York.\"\nStart-ups in Europe raised nearly $50 billion in the first six months of 2021,surpassingthe $38 billion raised by firms in the continent in all of 2020, according to Factset. A number of European tech companies have seen their valuations climb to the tens of billions, including Swedish battery makerNorthvolt, buy-now-pay-later providerKlarnaand German enterprise software start-upCelonis.\nA number of European start-ups hit unicorn valuation in record time over the past year. Earlier this year,online grocery app Gorillasbecame the fastest company in Europe to reach unicorn status, beating a record previously set byonline events company Hopinin 2020.\nThe frenzy of private capital raising in tech has led to a growing pipeline of companies that look set to go public. The U.S. saw a flurry of major tech listings over the past year, includingAirbnbandCoinbase, while Britain last week hosted one of the biggest European floats of 2021 with theblockbuster direct listingof fintech firmWise.\nAnd the special purpose acquisition company, orSPAC, phenomenon has provided another alternative for high-growth firms thinking of making their public market debut. U.K. health tech firm Babylon, for example, is set to list through a merger with a blank-check company later this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":349,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
