Wall Street digests mixed retail earnings, Mester remains very hawkish, a crypto fund ordered to liquidate

US stocks softened after key earnings from retailers provided limited optimism for the rest of the year and as rising long-term inflation expectations could tilt the Fed into sending the economy into a recession. Record inflation for Spain caught everyone’s attention, as traders shrugged off the temporary improvement with pricing pressures from Germany, which are only coming down from the highest levels in nearly a century. No one wants to buy the dip anymore after seeing a few stock market re

Oil higher, gold slips, bitcoin vulnerable

Oil rallies as OPEC+ fall further short of targets The easing of China's zero-Covid policy helped oil to the third day of gains following a decent correction in recent weeks. As did reports that the UAE and Saudi Arabia are producing near capacity, in stark contrast to claims that both are holding back and could do more.

Stocks rally as China eases COVID rules and as banks raise dividends, bitcoin stuck in the mud

US stocks are rallying after several banks boosted their dividends and China pivoted away from its strict COVID policy. Wall Street seems to be close to figuring out how high central banks may take rates over in the short-term and that is supportive for long-term investors to scale into positions.

Selling rallies, strong durable data supports further Fed tightening, bitcoin weakens

Wall Street is poised for a drawn-out period of sluggish economic activity and that has stock traders steadily fading all rebounds that emerge. Today’s volatile durable goods order reading was rather impressive and while it is only one reading, it suggests the economy is still chugging along and could probably stomach more Fed rate hikes than are being priced in. With a bear market likely at the end of 2023, it is hard to be optimistic about the second quarter rebound that still seems likely d

Focus on ECB Forum

A mixed start to the new trading week, one in which the bulk of the big market-moving events are due from Wednesday onwards. That may make for choppy trading over the next couple of days, in keeping with what we've seen so far in Europe. We will still hear from some central bank policymakers in that time which could send ripples through the markets but again, the biggest of these will also come on Wednesday.

The risk rebound continues

Markets continue to price that the worst is over for US bond markets and that the end of Fed rate hikes will occur sooner as the economy in the US, and elsewhere, slow sharply in H2 2022. US stock markets had a banner week based on that theory, which continued Friday with Wall Street posting another day of sharp gains. Equity markets rally on recession expectations It is not just US yields that have retreated sharply over the last week, oil retreated, and this month, industrial metals have taken

Mid-Market Update: Stocks rally on easing inflation expectations and Bullard's optimism, Oil rallies, Gold remains a choppy trade, Bitcoin edges higher

US stocks are rallying after a key survey showed inflation expectations are easing and following Fed Bullard’s optimistic comments about the economy. Hopes that inflation is peaking and that the economy is still on solid footing has some investors confidently buying up heavily discounted stocks. It seems Wall Street is starting to believe that even if the economy has a recession, it will be a short one. This could still be a bear market rally, but that might change if we get some less pessimist

A week of consolidation

Choppy trading continues

It's been a rather choppy week in financial markets and we're seeing that reflected again on Thursday, with European stocks back in negative territory after recovering losses earlier. Equity markets have fallen heavily over the last couple of weeks as aggressive tightening and heightened recession fears weigh heavily on risk appetite. They may now be establishing a temporary bottom as yields ease off their highs but don't get too excited.

Powell signals Fed needs to be nimble, Canada Inflation hits near 40-year high, bitcoin tries to hold USD20k

After what might be the worst first six months of the trading year for the S&P 500 since the 1970s, US stocks were ready to turn positive over the slightest hint that the Fed may change their aggressive tightening course. Equities rallied after Powell said the Fed will need to be nimble in responding to incoming data and the evolving outlook.

Don't get too excited by bear-market rallies

European stock markets are falling heavily again on Wednesday, reminding us all once more why we shouldn't get excited by the bear-market rallies. There's a desperation to add substance to the often sizeable rallies that pop up in equity markets despite little or no rationale behind them and today is once again a lesson in why we shouldn't bother. In much the same way that "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is", if stocks are rallying for seemingly no reason, there probably isn't one.

Plenty of action to come

European stocks are making small gains again on Tuesday, benefiting from the relatively calm start to the week. The US returns following the bank holiday weekend which could see activity pick up, with particular focus on what the various central bankers have to say. Jerome Powell's testimony in Congress on Wednesday and Thursday will naturally be the highlight but in this rapidly changing environment, all views will have the potential to get things moving. There's no doubt that the next few days

A steady start

European stocks are making steady gains on Monday, recovering a small portion of last week's heavy losses as economic concerns mounted. There has undoubtedly been a shift in the market mindset over the last week and a half that has weighed heavily on risk assets. The prospect of a recession is being considered far more broadly and what's more, central banks are increasingly resisting the urge to push back against it. It seems inflation has gone from being the primary concern to the only one.
