Senior Relationship Manager

Good Morning,

Tech remains strong given if slightly off the highs as traders try to decide what focus on next. Yesterday the Dow lost 0.15%, the S&P 500 0.4% and the Nasdaq 0.13%.

The USD Index fell to 103.70 while 10 Year yields are at 4.28. EURUSD is 1.0858 , GBPUSD 1.2690 and USDJPY 150.4 after a higher CPI in Japan.

Gold and Silver are 2033 and 22.60, Bitcoin jumped to 56k.

Headlines are:

  • Israel agrees to halt attacks during Ramadan
  • US is once again approaching the debt ceiling
  • Inflation in Japan 0.2% higher than expected
  • Macron did not rule out sending troops toUkraine.

 

Sentiment is a bit tricky to read ahead of the  US and EU inflation data on Thursday and Friday but I suggest to remain nimble and open minded.

We have two key articles to digest today by Peter and Kim:

Earnings Watch: Salesforce, Snowflake, and Leonardo
Technical Update - Nvidia: Buyers running out of steam? Or potential to much higher price levels? See here how and why?

Key Data:

Tuesday
- Data Japan CPI, US Durable Goods & Consumer Confidence

Wednesday
