US 3 composite indexes - Past 5 days performances US market heaved a sigh of relief ytd - Tue (21 Mar 2023) as “confidence” seemed to have returned as news surrounding the incumbent few banks began to settle in. Looking at the 3 US composite indexes (graph) above, it’s been on the upswing since last Wed (15 Mar 2023). Incidentally it was exactly one week ago when the Silicon Vally Bank debacle first reared its ugly head (08 Mar 2023). In a short span of 2 weeks, so many disruptions have happened in the banking industry. $Signature Bank(SBNY)$ selective assets “sold” to winning bidder $New York Community(NYCB)$ Silicon Valley Bank under FDIC receivership as the search for a knight in shining armour cont

Introduction Today I will share my trading plan for $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ VIX options in light of the upcoming FOMC meeting. With the recent banking crisis, the Fed is expected to announce its interest rate decision, which will have a significant impact on the market. We will discuss the market's expectations, the possible outcomes of the FOMC meeting, and how we can trade VIX options to capitalize on the situation. Background The VIX (CBOE Volatility Index) is a measure of market volatility based on the S&P 500 Index's options prices. It is often referred to as the "fear gauge" as it tends to increase when the market experiences high levels of uncertainty or risk. In recent times, the VIX has been on the rise due to the banking crisis,

$Zoom(ZM)$  Zoom still generates significant positive free cash flow (FCF) post-pandemic, producing $1.2 billion trailing-12-month FCF as of January 2023. It also has $5.41 billion in cash with no long-term debt on the balance sheet -- so it's in little danger of financial distress. This is a company likely to survive this downturn.

AMC investors said to have approved 1-for-10 reverse split, share conversion AMC Entertainment $AMC Entertainment(AMC)$ investors are said to have approved a 1-for-10 reverse stock split and plans to increase the total number of shares at the special meeting. The approval is a step to enable the theater chain to convert a recently issued series of preferred shares, APE, into common stock, Bloomberg reported. The Allegheny County Employees' Retirement System had filed a class-action complaint in Delaware's Court of Chancery against AMC and its board members, seeking a temporary restraining order against the Mar. 14 conversion vote. The plaintiffs accuse AMC and its board with violating Delaware General Corporation Law

Credit Suisse, one of the world's largest investment banks, has been hit with a series of fines over the years for various misconducts. The bank has been fined more than 50 times since 2000, totaling over $11 billion, with an average of $570 million per year. The latest fine in 2022 amounted to $700 million, which is more than double the amount they paid in 2021. This situation is a significant moment for the global banking system. Credit Suisse's mismanagement and the rapid rise of interest rates have caused a crisis. The bank has dug its own grave by repeatedly breaking the rules and facing heavy penalties. Investors in Credit Suisse should pay close attention to these developments. The bank's reputation has been damaged, and its stock price may continue to decline. Investors should keep

The recent reserve requirement ratio cut by the People's Bank of China has caused mixed reactions in the market. To understand why the People's Bank of China can now choose to cut the reserve requirement ratio, there are several points to consider. Firstly, changes in the external environment have released domestic monetary policy space. Recent events such as the SVB Bank and Credit Suisse Group in the United States may lead to increased volatility in overseas financial markets and economies, slowing down the pace of the Federal Reserve's rate hikes. Secondly, China's inflation rate is relatively low, providing further room for monetary policy easing. This is the biggest difference between the Chinese and American economies. Thirdly, the main contradiction in China's economy is still the i

The Fed is in a dilemma, having been stuck between a rock and a hard place whether to continue hiking interest rate to rein in a sticky inflation that has proven to be stubborn, or take a pause in view of the recent bank runs and failures. Before the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, the market has largely been pricing in a 50 basis points hike when the FOMC concludes its monetary policy review today. Now the market is expecting a lift by not more than 25 basis, so as not to inflict more strain on the US and even global banking system and avoid contagious effects. Whichever is the outcome, I plan to stay invested in our local banking trio $DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD(D05.SI)$ , 

$NIO Inc.(NIO)$  Nio Inc. is “very confident” of meeting its target of doubling sales to 250,000 electric vehicles this year, Chief Financial Officer Steven Feng said, prompting the Chinese automaker’s shares to surge in Hong Kong. “We are very confident to achieve our sales target in 2023,” Feng said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on Wednesday. That will be achieved with new models, expanding the company’s charging and battery-swapping network, and unlocking autonomous driving technologies, he said. Nio shares jumped as much as 8.6% in early Hong Kong trading, taking their advance in the past two days to about 18%. Nio earlier this month posted a wider-than-estimated 5.8 billion yuan ($843 million) fourth-

$Alibaba(BABA)$  Alibaba announced its fiscal 2023’s third quarter (3Q FY2023) results, delivering growth in revenue, higher income from operations and higher earnings per share over its fiscal 2022’s second quarter (2Q FY2023) results. Alibaba’s 3Q FY2023 revenue increased 2% year on year from RMB 242.6 billion to RMB 247.8 billion. The increase in revenue was due to stronger performance in the Cainiao and International commerce segments. Income from operations for 3Q FY2023 increased 396% year on year from RMB 7.1 billion to RMB 35 billion. This increase in income from operations can be mainly attributed to two reasons. The first is a substantial year on year decrease in the impairment of goodwill in relation to

The Federal Reserve (Fed) is facing one of its toughest interest rate decisions in recent times. Despite the pressure from inflation, which would normally call for a two-point rate hike, the US banking industry is showing signs of a lack of confidence in a high-interest-rate environment. Additionally, the forced merger of Credit Suisse by the Swiss government has added to the already unstable global financial market. A two-point rate hike at this time could further damage market confidence. If the Fed adopts a more conservative approach, such as temporarily suspending interest rate increases to observe the situation, investors will immediately anticipate an interest rate cut due to economic recession as the Fed's justification. This could cause inflation expectations to resurface, potentia

$Chewy, Inc.(CHWY)$ Chewy Inc. is an online retailer of pet products that has consistently beat analysts' expectations for net sales and has seen a growing active customer base. However, the stock can be very volatile following its earnings report, making it difficult to predict how the share price will react. As a result, selling options may be a profitable strategy to take advantage of the volatility of the stock. Chewy's Stock Volatility As mentioned, Chewy's stock can be very volatile following its earnings report. The stock closed down 16.1% the day after reporting Q4 2021 earnings. On the other extreme, the stock rallied 24.2% after reporting Q1 2022 earnings. Chewy will be released its earnings report after the market closes today. Resist

Exxon stepping back from Europe, to invest more in U.S., Woods says Exxon Mobil $Exxon Mobil(XOM)$ is reviewing its activities in Europe in view of new windfall profits taxes as it plans to spend more in the U.S., CEO Darren Woods said Tuesday at the CERAWeek by S&P energy conference in Houston. The CEO slammed Europe's windfall profit tax on oil and gas producers, saying it drives away investment and undermines energy transition efforts, while praising the Inflation Reduction Act in the U.S. The tax would wipe out years of profit from recent refining investments, and means Exxon (XOM) expects to pull back future spending in Europe in favor of the U.S., Woods said. Such policies have created unintended consequences such as countries burnin

Recent events have left global investors and shareholders feeling uneasy about the stability of the banking industry. The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and the Swiss Credit Crisis have cast a shadow of uncertainty over the entire industry. Despite the efforts of UBS Group to save Swiss Credit, the fear remains that this crisis could be a harbinger of things to come. It's important to note that the issues that led to the crisis, namely the problem of high interest rates, are not unique to these incidents. Many countries in Asia and around the world are facing the same problem. Furthermore, with the global economy being so interconnected, if one bank falls, it could spell disaster for others, creating a domino effect. This is a time when everyone is on edge and feeling vulnerable, and it's

Market Recap | Rally in Bank Shares Lifts U.S. Stocks Increased investor optimism about the banking system helped lift U.S. stocks Tuesday, with shares of regional banks including First Republic Bank at the forefront of the rally.
