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.

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.

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

A historic day in FX (BOJ, BOE, SNB, SARB, BCB), global tightening sends stocks lower, bitcoin surprisingly steady
Global equities are struggling as the world anticipates surging rates will trigger a much sooner and possibly severe global recession. ​ The Fed has succeeded in convincing markets that they will remain aggressive with fighting inflation and that has many expecting another 75bp rate increase in November. ​ The aftermath following the Fed was a wave of aggressive tightening by several other central banks. Most of these rate hikes around the world are not done yet which means the race to restricti

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.

Stocks trade mix, BOE fearful of long recession, continuing claims rise, bitcoin stuck
Stocks continue to ignore the deepest yield curve inversion since the early 2000s. ​ The S&P 500 index has rebounded over 13% from the June lows as many on Wall Street anticipate that the Fed will stop quantitative tightening next year and begin cutting interest rates. If the next couple of inflation and nonfarm payroll reports support the Fed pivot argument, we might stop hearing these bear market calls. ​ ​ Equities might struggle to keep the rally going as investors continue to see economic

Stocks chop, ECB abandons negative rates, bitcoin says, “Et tu, Musk?”
Wall Street is struggling to find reasons to be optimistic as investors digest a wrath of mixed corporate earnings, Russia resumes Nord Stream 1 gas flows, and the ECB acts aggressively with its first rate hike in 11 years. ​ The earnings standout was Tesla, which posted strong earnings and kept its production forecast.

Netflix earnings spark a rally, Housing Market Cools, Bitcoin higher
No one expected Netflix to trigger a decent risk-on rally for the other mega-cap tech stocks, but that is exactly what is happening.  Stocks are rising as Wall Street grows confident that corporate earnings might not fall off a cliff.  Pessimism won’t be completely going away as two major risk events are in the next 24 hours; the ECB rate hiking decision and the Russian decision on how much gas to let flow through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline. Italian politics are dampening the mood too, as the go

Choppy trade ahead of ECB
Stock markets are understandably choppy so far this week, as Europe posts small gains with Italy being the outlier up more than 1%. It's shaping up to be a critical week for Europe, with Brussels nervously waiting to see whether gas flows will resume following the completed maintenance of Nord Stream 1 on Thursday. That's the same day that the central bank will be weighing up a 25 or 50 basis point rate hike to combat soaring inflation in the bloc.
