Week Ahead - All eyes on the Fed, ECB, BOE and NFP report
US Traders will focus on the FOMC decision, but they should also closely watch mega-cap tech earnings, and the nonfarm payroll report. The Fed is expected to continue slowing their rate hiking pace with a small 25 basis point rate rise.  Disinflation trends are clearly here, but Core PCE suggest price pressures are coming and the labor market refuses to break and could prompt the Fed to remain vigilant with its inflation fight.

US Close - Stocks stay hot, Dollar wavers, Oil steady, Gold rally hits a wall, Crypto momentum
US stocks are rallying as Wall Street awaits a busy earnings week as well as major GDP and core PCE data later this week that should confirm Fed calls for another downshift in tightening of rates.  Corporate earnings have been coming in softer than expected and that should continue to drive recession trends, which are what is needed to get the Fed to stop tightening. Salesforce is gaining much attention after activist Elliot Management took a multibillion-dollar stake in it.  Spotify also announ

Stocks rally as Google job cuts support disinflation trends, Fed speak, Oil’s good week, Gold hovers near 9-month highs, Bitcoin above $21k
US stocks are rallying as tech stages a comeback following Google parent Alphabet’s announcement that they will cut its global workforce by more than 6%. The reduction of 12,000 jobs globally for Google confirms a clear trend of mega-cap cost-cutting measures. ​ First it was Amazon and Microsoft with major job cut announcements and now it is Google. ​ We should see this theme spread across other sectors throughout the year and that should help keep disinflation trends intact.

Week Ahead - Earnings season a highlight
US It will be a busy week filled with the first look at Q4 GDP, corporate earnings, and US debt ceiling gridlock. There is a lot of risk on the table and a key focal point for many will be the modest growth we will see alongside a plethora of data points that are signalling recession warnings.

US Close: A busy Tuesday (China’s GDP, Goldman, Morgan Stanley, Empire, ECB),  Commodities mixed, Cryptos soften
US stocks are wavered as traders digest mixed bank earnings, a disheartening Empire manufacturing report, and as Treasuries rally at the front-end of the curve. The Dow’s decline is mostly thanks to Goldman Sachs massive earnings miss.  China’s GDP The good outweighs the bad with the outlook for China’s economic future.  China’s latest swathe of economic data points provide significant optimism that their reopening momentum could impress throughout the year.

Week Ahead - Earnings season underway
It will be a busy week filled with a wide range of economic indicators, lots of Fed speak, and earnings season heats up.  Wall Street will now not just fixate on inflation data, but also on how quickly the economy softens.  Traders will pay close attention to the Empire manufacturing index, retail sales, PPI, industrial production, NAHB housing market index, weekly jobless claims, and existing home sales data.

Stocks higher on mixed US data, ISM contracts again, JOLTS impress, Salesforce layoffs, Aussie rises,, bitcoin higher but still in range
US stocks edged higher as investors grew confident that the Fed is nearing the end of its tightening cycle as the manufacturing sector is clearly in a recession, while the labor market refuses to break. ​ This stock market rally however might be short-lived as the ISM report and JOLTS data painted a picture of a resilient labor market that should force the Fed into taking rates even higher into restrictive territory. ​

Tightening Thursday (ECB & friends), US data/surveys, labor market refuses to break, oil slumps, gold lower on strong dollar, bitcoin follows broader market
US stocks didn’t stand a chance today after digesting a hawkish FOMC decision and a round of data/surveys that support the argument that the economy is recession bound. The labor market might not be breaking but it is becoming clear the consumer is weakening and manufacturing activity is in a recession. ​ US retail sales posted the largest drop in nearly a year.

US Close: Stocks lower as yields pop, Strong earnings from both Netflix and Procter & Gamble, Oil rebounds, Gold beating continues, Bitcoin holds $19k
US stocks are weakening as the bond market selloff is picking up again after further signs the Fed is going to remain hawkish.  The Fed’s Kashkari said he doesn’t see them stopping raising rate at 4.50-4.75% if they are not making progress with core CPI.  He also noted that he sees little evidence the labor market is softening and that they don’t see any evidence that core inflation has peaked. Markets expect the Fed to deliver another 75 basis point increase in November and the odds are rising

US close – stocks slump on Fed hawks and hot economic data, Apple and Meta hit hard, dollar softens into quarter-end, oil falls, gold pared losses, bitcoin holds onto $19k
US stocks are weakening once again after hot inflation readings and another round of hawkish Fed speak. Risky assets don’t stand a chance of a meaningful rally if the economy continues to show resilience while inflation continues to be significantly above the Fed’s Funds rate. ​ Fed’s Mester signaled that a recession won’t prevent the Fed from tightening policy further and Bullard reiterated their determination to get rates to a level that can cool inflation. ​ Big-Tech Woes

Stocks rally as BOE intervenes, promising news from Biogen, bitcoin
US stocks are rallying after the BOE’s intervention tentatively halted the bond market selloff. ​ The theme on Wall Street is rising risks for a hard landing next year, while we are hearing a steady chorus of Fed speak that mostly confirmed the market’s expectation that rates will rise to 4.25%-4.50% by the end of the year. Some traders are growing confident that we are close to seeing the end of the Fed's tightening cycle, but that is still too early to say. BOE The UK economy was hit with Br
