Commodities and Cryptos Shine as risk aversion hits Wall Street: Oil surges, Gold and Bitcoin rally
Oil Energy traders shrugged off the EIA announcement that 60-million barrels of crude will be released.  Crude prices can’t stop going higher as a very tight oil market will likely see further risk to supplies as the War in Ukraine unfolds.  Expectations for a revival of the Iran nuclear deal have come down a bit as talks still have a few key issues.  Brent crude could surge to the $120 level if the oil market starts to think it is likely that sanctions will be placed on Russian energy. Normal

US Close- Surging oil prices drive growth concerns and sink stocks, ISM impresses, Yields drop, Yen Stronger
US stocks tumbled as investors struggle to go long risk as the Russia-Ukraine crisis intensifies and as surging oil prices threaten economic growth prospects.  Wall Street is hitting the ‘sell button’ on everything except for energy stocks. Traders are trying to reduce their exposure to anything that has exposure to Russia and some are getting concerned that a prolonged economic slowdown is here.

Equities stage “peak-Ukraine” rally
US equities staged an impressive rally overnight, wiping out the earlier day's losses and rallying to finish strongly in the green. Positive US data played its parts, but mostly it appears to be a relief rally sparked by the announcement of the scope of US sanctions on Russia.

US Close: US Stocks eke out a gain, Fed Minutes, Strong Retail Sales Rebound
US stocks erased earlier losses and eked out a gain after the Fed Minutes showed policymakers were not any closer to signaling aggressive policy tightening.  Risk aversion returned as geopolitical tensions remained the focal point as no confirmation happened with a de-escalation with Russia-Ukraine concerns. The Fed Minutes were less hawkish than many expected and that helped risk appetite return a little.

US Close: Wall Street rattled on reports US expects Russia to invade Ukraine next week. Yen, Oil, and Gold pop higher, while Stocks, yields, and Bitcoin drop
Wall Street has an inflation hangover as higher rates continue to drag tech stocks down.  US stocks were trying to stabilize as yields came in. Yesterday’s inflation shocker has many bond traders believing the Fed is behind the curve and will be delivering several rate hikes.  Many Fed members feel inflation will meaningfully decelerate later this year and that is why calls for seven rate hikes might be too aggressive. US stocks were supposed to have a period of calm this afternoon as Treasury

US Close: Slow Start for Stocks, Lagarde pushes back, Oil rally pauses, Gold rallies, Bitcoin momo is back
US stocks will struggle for direction until the latest inflation tilts market’s expectations as to how aggressive the Fed will tighten into what is still deemed as an overvalued stock market.  Wall Street saw early selling pressure for tech stocks as investors still digest a wrath of disappointing outlooks and surging borrowing costs. Technology stocks are no longer a one-way trade as investors cut losses and now focus on valuations, competition, and long-term outlooks. FX Financial markets are

NFP React: Payroll Shocker, Wall Street eyes half-point March liftoff, Amazon impresses
US stocks traded mixed after a surprisingly strong employment report made some investors nervous the Fed will be forced to be much more aggressive with fighting inflation. The Nasdaq was boosted after yesterday’s flawless Amazon earnings report.  Amazon delivered strong eps and AWS revenue beats, reported a $12 billion gain from their bet on Rivian, and raised their annual Prime membership prices.  Investors care about Cloud growth and future profits and Amazon’s earnings report had all those bo

Alphabet results sends tech stocks higher, ADP impacted by omicron, bitcoin wall at USD 40k
Investors are focusing on what has been a mostly positive earnings season, also shrugging off a negative private payroll report that was clearly impacted by the omicron variant spread in January. Google crushed earnings and that optimism has many traders feeling that the bottom is in for the mega-cap tech giants.  Apple and Google have made Wall Street turn more optimistic about earnings season and that is largely because some of these tech giants are still delivering impressive results despite

Stocks lower after US data, patient RBA, GBP testing 1.35 ahead of BOE, , Bitcoin hovers
US stocks are getting pulled all over the place as investors digest both a wrath of economic data and a chorus of Fed speak that has de-escalated aggressive tightening fears for now.  Impressive earnings from UPS and Exxon helped risk appetite early but that faded quickly as traders remain fixated over everything about inflation.  For about 10-minutes much of Wall Street took a break to hear the news that Tom Brady announced his retirement.

US Close: Rough waters ahead, Strong January Finish for stocks, Dollar weakens
US stocks finished the month on a nice note, but rough waters still could be ahead over global tightening pressures.  Some of the smart money on Wall Street is still looking to fade every rally as valuations won’t live up to their expectations.    It seems the Fed will struggle to reach a clear consensus over how aggressive the March liftoff will be, so aggressive ‘buying the dip’ won’t be happening anytime soon.  Economic conditions are still looking good this year but repositioning over valuat

US Close: Sell the Rally, Tesla falls 10%, King dollar
Market volatility is not going away anytime soon as the ‘buy the dip’ crowd has a new motto, ‘sell the rally’.  Today’s stock market rally did not last as corporate America reminded us that supply chain troubles persist, and profit forecasts are not providing any reasons to be optimistic.  Many traders are still processing what happened yesterday with the Fed and the reality is that they missed an opportunity.  It is hard to aggressively maintain a bullish stance with equities when you know the

Fed and BOC Day: Fed sets up March Liftoff, Balance Sheet later, BOC holds
Fed Day: US stocks gave up earlier gains as Treasury yields surged after Fed Chair Powell signaled they will use their tools to make sure inflation does not become entrenched, paving the way for a March liftoff. Earlier, the stock market may have gotten too pessimistic and priced in too much of a slowdown that was going to come from an aggressive Fed tightening cycle.

US Close: Stocks selloff as bond yields soar, Empire Survey plunges, NAHB edges lower, Goldman shows employees the money
The stocks market is selling off after disappointing earnings from Goldman Sachs, the Empire State manufacturing survey showed growth stalled in January, and as surging yields have investors abandoning rate-sensitive sectors such as technology. The emergence of skyrocketing expenses for Wall Street banks has many investors worried that wage inflation may have been broadly underpriced across the entire US economy. US data The Empire manufacturing data delivered a massive miss as omicron cripple

US Close: Wage inflation worries send stocks lower, US data
US stocks struggled after the big banks had a rough start to earnings season.  JPMorgan shares dropped sharply over fears that surging expenses and wage inflation may lead to a greater profit miss over the next couple of years. Risk appetite did not get any favors from a wrath of US economic data that missed expectations, raising fears that the underlying recovery is vulnerable.
