US Close: Stocks remain in doom and gloom mode after FedEx Warning, Oil's bad week, Gold steadies, Bitcoin follows equities lower

US stocks were dealt another blow after FedEx warned that the economy was about to enter a ‘worldwide recession.’ Wall Street was already nervous that the Fed’s inflation fighting mission was going to trigger a recession, but now it seems corporate America is already showing signs that the economy is slowing. FedEx FedEx shares plunged the most in forty years after they had withdrawn their guidance. A weakening economy and rising competition from Amazon complicate how FedEx will perform this

Stocks lower on Fed fears, mixed US data, ethereum merge Success

US stocks edged lower as investors stare at a weakening economy that will get tested by an inflation-fighting Fed. The latest round of data suggests the Fed can stick to aggressive rate hikes as the labor market remains strong and as the economy slowly softens.

Steady post-inflation shock

Stock markets are a bit mixed on Thursday following a rollercoaster week in the run-up to, and aftermath of, the US inflation report. Safe to say, investors got ahead of themselves in a desperate attempt to board the peak inflation train early. The collapse on Tuesday - carrying into Wednesday in Asia and Europe - looked quite severe on the face of it but it was simply an unwinding of positions built on the anticipation of a good set of numbers in the days leading up to it. While the Fed is no

Stocks rebound, No big surprises from PPI, crypto outlook

Following the biggest drop in more than two years, US stocks are rebounding as investors still believe the Fed will pivot before they risk sending the economy into a severe recession. Recession risks are obviously going up now that the Fed will likely need to take rates above 4.00%, but it is still unlikely we will see them take rates to the 5.00% level. Today’s PPI numbers show that underlying trends are improving and that should lead to optimism that we will continue to see prices come dow

A harsh lesson

Stock markets have stabilized a little after Tuesday's rout which saw risk assets pummelled across the board. There appears to have been a tendency in recent months to front-run certain releases in the hope that it's going to prove to be the "pivot" moment when everything starts to look up, central banks can ease off the brake and risk assets will have bottomed. That certainly looks to have been the case over the last week as investors were lured into a false sense of security following the July

Scorching inflation report, done deal for Fed to go 75bp in Sept and probably also in November, dollar surges, bitcoin plunges

US stocks are crumbling after a very hot inflation has Wall Street nervous that they were too optimistic in forecasting the end of the Fed’s tightening cycle. Markets are no longer confident that the Fed will only deliver a 75bp increase this month, a half-point increase in November and a 25-basis-point increase in December. The Fed will likely have to be even more aggressive with raising rates and that is bad news for risky assets.

European stocks are off to a positive start on Monday, following a relatively muted day in Asia amid bank holiday closures in China, Hong Kong and South Korea.

Back to school, ECB signals more hikes to come, Powell sticks to hawkish script, Bitcoin hovers around $19k

Parents are rejoicing back to school time and Wall Street is embracing the consistency in the Fed’s messaging that they will keep at it until the job is done with inflation. Stocks are rising after Fed Chair Powell stuck to his hawkish script and affirmed the commitment to tighten policy until inflation is back towards its target.

ECB just getting started

A mixed session in Asia overnight after Wall Street rebounded on Wednesday, while Europe is poised to open a little higher as well. It's been a frankly awful few weeks for stock markets so yesterday's gains will come as a mild relief, albeit one I don't think anyone is getting particularly excited about. Given the economic backdrop, this could be nothing more than a dead cat bounce.

Risk aversion remains strong

Asian markets ended mostly lower on Wednesday as trade data from China weighed on sentiment, while Europe is also lower amid heightened economic uncertainty.

The headwinds facing the Chinese economy are becoming increasingly fierce and recent efforts to sho

US Close – September Swoon, OPEC+ bounce faded, Gold back in danger zone, Bitcoin jitters, Memes under pressure

The September swoon is in play as a resilient economy paves the way for more Fed tightening. Stocks are going to struggle because too much of the economy is doing well and that leaves Wall Street vulnerable to an extended period of rising interest rates.

Steady after a rocky start

It's been a mixed start to trade on Tuesday, similar to what we saw in Asia overnight, and as we await the return of the US after the long bank holiday weekend. Europe in particular was rattled on Monday by the Gazprom announcement that came after the close on Friday in relation to Nord Stream 1. The latest move in the apparent weaponisation of energy supplies has once more created huge uncertainty ahead of the winter.

A welcome US jobs report

Investors appear relatively pleased with the jobs report despite some initial choppy trade following the release. Nonfarm payrolls nudges above forecast The headline NFP figure was a little larger than expected at 315,000 which may have created that initial unease as a knockout report could have effectively paved the way for a 75 basis point rate hike this month. But once you dig a little deeper, there are aspects of the report that will please the Fed and support the case for easing off the bra

All eyes on the jobs report

Stock markets in Europe opened positively on Friday after what has been an otherwise rotten week, while Asia was fairly mixed ahead of the US jobs report. It will be interesting to see whether Europe can maintain the rebound today considering we're heading into the weekend not certain that gas will start flowing through Nord Stream 1 again tomorrow. Grid data suggests it will but until the gas starts actually flowing, it remains a risk.

Sell in September, US data impresses, dollar can't be stopped, Bitcoin below $20k

It seems most of Wall Street believes September will be a month we won’t want to remember. We are less than two weeks away from a pivotal inflation report and three weeks from the FOMC meeting. The repositioning of portfolios is just beginning as the Fed accelerates the balance sheet runoff, while we are barely seeing signs that real economy is starting to feel the impact of tightening.
