Summary: One day to go...
Good morning.
Without any real inspiration, yesterday was a boring day for traders, and that showed in low volumes. We ended the day 10% below the 20-day average.
Intel and Microsoft will be the stocks to watch today, Intel was able to secure an order by Amazon, qualifies for federal grants and has announced to delay the factory in eastern Germany, shares jump 8% in late trading. Microsoft announced a share buyback to the Tune of 60 billion USD.
Apple was under pressure after reports of slow preorders of the iPhone 16.
Indexes closed friendly with Nasdaq and Dow rising slightly more than 0.5% the S&P gains 0.13%. The Dow Jones hit a new record yesterday.
The Nikkei is under pressure due to the strong Yen. The Index is trading at 36000 after the yen gained 13% from the low in the last two months.
The Dollar Index remains low and is at the last real support before we would test the psychologically important 100. EURUSD is above 1.11, GBPUSD above 1.32 and USDJPY 140.60.
Gold and Silver are holding at 2576 and 30.75 after little moves yesterday, oil traded higher.
Today we are expecting some fairly important data with the German ZEW and the US Retail Sales likely the most important, the key question remains the rate decision tomorrow though.
Rate traders are trading 10 cuts of 25 basis point in the next 12 months, the most important message tomorrow will likely be the fact THAT the fed starts it`s cutting cycle and maintains the dovish outlook more than the question if they do 25 or 50 basis points.
John Hardy published the next US Election Update: With seven weeks to go, the election outcome is as uncertain as ever. This week, markets have both eyes on the Federal Reserve and whether it kicks off the first rate cutting cycle since the pandemic with a large or small cut.
