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. The streaming company reported revenues and earnings that comfortably surpassed expectations, while subscriber growth more than doubled forecasts.

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.

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

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.

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.

Oil still pushing, Gold slides, bitcoin struggles
Oil higher despite weak Chinese PMI Oil prices are continuing to edge higher at the start of the week, albeit at a much slower pace with Brent now not far from $100 a barrel. OPEC+ may be comfortable with that after slashing output targets by two million barrels per day but I'm not sure anyone else will be. The Chinese PMI data overnight highlighted the challenges facing the world's largest crude importer as it tries to balance its zero-Covid policy with economic growth.

NFP react: labor market remains robust, Fed can stick to hawkish shtick, dollar strength, cryptos soften post jobs data
US stocks tumbled as job strength remains, which means we most likely won’t be seeing a Fed downshift at the next FOMC meeting in November. ​ Treasury yields rose alongside the US dollar after another solid nonfarm payroll report. ​ The risks of the Fed remaining aggressive with the tightening of monetary policy still remains on the table.

Caution ahead of US jobs data
Equity markets are on course to spend a third day in the red despite a strong start to the week as investors adopt a cautious approach ahead of the US jobs report. Amid all of the chaos this week, investors have always had one eye on the jobs report later today. Even earlier in the week when equity markets were rallying strongly, there was always a sense that the jobs report could spoil the party. And not because it could point to cracks appearing in the labour market; quite the opposite in fact

The bottom is a ways away, claims data off lows, crypto anchored around $20k
US stocks bounced around on payrolls eve, digesting another round of hawkish Fed speak. ​ Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari signaled there is no Fed pivot coming until financial conditions worsen significantly from here. Kashkari said the Fed will keep hiking rates to bring inflation and that they are “quite a ways away” from pausing their tightening cycle.

Relief rally already struggling
Equity markets have erased early gains to trade in the red on Thursday, as investors take a cautious approach ahead of Friday's jobs report. The narrative in recent days of weaker data being positive as it could be a precursor to slower tightening didn't seem sustainable and it's already proving to be the case. I think it was more a reflection of the steep sell-off in the markets and the performance of risk assets in general over the six weeks previous, rather than the data.

Paring gains
Stock markets are paring gains after a phenomenal rebound on Monday and Tuesday as two weeks of losses were wiped out in just two sessions. It's been a very impressive relief rally, albeit one aided by a rose-tinted interpretation of certain economic indicators and a terrible plunge in the weeks before. This isn't the time to get carried away but it is understandable that we're seeing some relief.
