Huge uncertainty

Uncertainty sums up the feeling in the markets at the moment and that is perfectly highlighted by the moves seen on the opening day of the week. Equity markets in Asia were a mixed bag, with the Shanghai Composite and Hang Seng making decent losses while those elsewhere made steady gains. Europe is slightly in the green as we move towards the close while the US is a sea of red, with tech shares being hit particularly hard. There's going to be a lot to take in this week, from the Fed on Wednesday

Week Ahead - All About the Fed and NFP

Will the fourth 75 basis-point rate hike be the last major rise before the Fed downshifts in December? Next week’s FOMC decision is widely expected to be a unanimous vote for one last major rate increase. With the Fed’s preferred price measure still showing inflation is running hot, that might make it harder for them to set up a possible downshift in its rate-hike pace for the December meeting.

Asia Open: Mega-Cap Disappointment, Apple/Amazon Results, Commodities Brief, Cryptos edge lower

Mixed mega-cap tech earnings won’t provide Asia with a boost. A lot went wrong for big-tech today; Apple’s holiday outlook underwhelmed, inflation pain is more noticeable, and unfavorable exchange rates will hurt future sales. The news was not all terrible for Intel shares after posting solid results alongside the announcement of a cost-cutting plan that will save $10 billion by the end of 2028. The key theme across this round of mega-cap results is that an earnings slump is here as inflation

Super Thursday! Massive earnings day, US GDP, ECB raises rates, FX, crypto momentum stalls

US stocks are struggling for direction after a mixed bag of earnings was accompanied by economic data that supports the idea that the economy is weakening. It looks like the economy is still headed for a recession, but that might reinforce Fed pivot calls which still seems to be driving some inflows back into equities.

Thank you Canada, BOC's dovish surprise, big-tech disappointments, bitcoin above $20k

This bear market rally was about to run out of steam, but the Bank of Canada had other plans. A Canadian dovish surprise gave risky assets an unexpected boost.

Stocks rally as yields fall, softening US data, cryptos impress

US stocks got a boost from another round of decent earnings and as softening economic data that supports the argument for the Fed to downshift its tightening pace after next week's policy meeting. Earnings from UPS, General Motors and General Electric did not unravel the optimistic outlook corporate America has been providing this earnings season.

Another day, another prime minister

An absolute shambles Another UK Prime Minister has resigned and I've now lost count of how many Chancellors we're going to be up to if Jeremy Hunt is also replaced next week. Liz Truss' position was hanging by a thread and has been since the mini-budget but that unravelled at a remarkable pace. And now the UK is once again waiting to see who will be the next Prime Minister and how the process will be decided. Truss has no doubt been an unmitigated disaster and I'm not sure who exactly will make

Truss Resigns, Stocks rally on earnings, US Data, NatGas declines, Bitcoin rebounds but still locked into range

Despite political tumult in the UK and growing pressure on Japan to defend the yen, risk appetite is running wild as US stocks rally as some investors become more upbeat about this earnings season. Mega-cap tech is starting to look attractive again after IBM posted robust sales results despite the currency headwinds.

Earnings buoy Wall Street

Trading is mixed in Europe on Wednesday, with Wall Street eyeing a slightly stronger open amid bumper Netflix earnings. Netflix is a hit Netflix results are expected to be a hit on Wall Street when the bell rings on Wednesday, with pre-markets pointing to a more than 13% rally in the stock.

Another impressive bear market rally, bitcoin holds $19k

Back-to-back gains for stocks were powered by another round of strong earnings and a mixed round of economic data that suggests the economy is softening. After the close, traders will pay close attention to JB Hunt earnings as they will provide an update on what shipping trends to expect this quarter.

Flashing green

Asian stocks were flashing green on the second day of trading, while Europe is poised to open in a similarly positive manner as sentiment continues to improve, albeit from very low levels. There's still a strong feeling of a bear market rally about trading over the course of the last week. From the post-US-inflation rebound to what has now been a strong start to the week - in part driven by the UK's decision to no longer shoot itself in the foot - nothing about this screams sustainable. Of cou

Oil edges lower, gold jumps, bitcoin on the rise

Settling down? It's been another turbulent few weeks in oil markets from global growth concerns to super-sized OPEC+ output cuts and it seems they're yet to fully settle down. Brent has seen lows of $82 and highs of $98 so perhaps what we're now seeing is it finding its feet somewhere in the middle.

Mid-Market Update: Stocks lower on inflation expectations rise, JPMorgan impresses, Beyond Meat job layoffs, US Data, Kwarteng sacked, Oil tumbles, Gold in danger, Bitcoin bucks the trend

US stocks were unable to hold onto gains after inflation expectations unexpectedly rose for the first time in seven months. Wall Street can't seem to get a handle on how high the Fed will have to take rates.

Making sense of the ridiculous

Stock markets are ending the week with a strong rally after a frankly ridiculous reversal on Thursday following the US inflation data. A 40-year high in the core reading initially triggered selling in futures which was swiftly followed by an unbelievable rebound that saw US indices recover more than 5% from the lows. The recovery in the Dow coincided with a test of the late September lows, while in the S&P 500 the low was roughly 20% from the summer recovery peak so there must have been a huge t

US Close: Head-Scratching Day on Wall Street, Massive stock market reversal, FX volatility to remain extreme, Oil pops despite massive build, Gold little changed, Bitcoin back above $19k

Today’s market reversal was a head-scratcher. Despite a hot inflation report, US equities turned positive as some investors are convinced core inflation will soon start trending lower.

Oil steadies, gold edges higher, bitcoin slides

Oil steadying Oil prices are steadying again after a three-day decline that's coincided with further concerns around the economic outlook and gloomy forecasts. The output cut from OPEC+ last week triggered a surge in prices but that has partially been offset by the increasingly dire forecasts for the economy which will naturally weigh on demand.

FOMC Minutes React: Calibration means Pivot can’t be too far, Pepsico impresses, Oil tumbles, Gold pares losses, Crypto hovers around $19k

Oil creeps higher, gold paring losses, bitcoin consolidates

Edging higher but growth concerns remain Oil prices are nudging higher after paring recent gains so far this week. There are two dominant forces in the oil market at the moment; the economic outlook being the primary downside risk and OPEC+ the upside.

US Open: Stocks drop as yields rise, IMF warning, Chip stocks crushed on curbs, King Dollar advance stalls, Crude lower on demand fears, Gold still vulnerable, Bitcoin holds onto $19k for now, Google partners with Coinbase

Tech stocks are hovering near 2-year lows on bond market chaos and expectations for a gloomy earnings season. Investors are nervous after this week's inflation data, Fed tightening calls will demand for more aggressive hikes beyond November and that we could be seeing another major round of selling. The IMF slashed their global growth outlook and warned that the ‘worst is yet to come’.

Increasingly pessimistic

European stock markets are poised for another weak open as much of Asia reopened on Tuesday to large declines. Asia is flashing red as it nears the close and Europe may be facing a similarly bleak day. JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon didn't hold back in his assessment of the economic outlook, adding to the warnings of the IMF and World Bank, among many others.
