Summary: Nerves ahead of Nvidia
Good morning,
Markets are showing some nerves in an unclear picture:
The situation in the middle east remains explosive and the fighting in Ukraine intense! The German IFO came worse than feared, US Durable goods were better than expected, PDD (Parent to Temu) loses 55 billion in value after a disappointing results and outlook, Chinese industrial profits are strong and the Japanese PPI low. Canada announced tariffs of 100% on Chinese EV.
Volumes were again fairly low at below 10 billion shares on US Exchanges, Nasdaq and S&P lose 0.3 and 0.85% while the Dow Jones remained green at 0.16%, The Dow hit an Intraday High yesterday. Nvidia-traders showed some nerves, letting the stock drop 2.25%, Tesla was affected by the Canadian tariffs on Chinese Electrical Vehicles, as retaliatory measures are expected. In Switzerland Meyer Burger took another beating as the company announced a further restructuring, the stock lost 45% yesterday
Looking at Equities, Nvidia`s earnings are the elephant in the room, all eyes are on the release, so far, this year the stock is up 150% year to date and has added 1.8 trillion USD in market cap. The report tomorrow is seen as a key health indicator for the AI market. Reuters stated: Nvidia sales likely doubled - even that may not impress investors. Consider your risks here and consider how much you want to carry into the data release.
US Yields rose a little yesterday and pulled the USD Index to 100.85, EURUSD is 1.1166, GBPUSD 1.3195 and USDJPY 144.70. Gold and Silver are 2509 and 29.95, the Dollar remains near support levels.
Oil rose yesterday on worries of an escalation in the middle east , Sugar is rising as wildfires affect brasil, rising 4% yesterday.
Today the economic calendar is fairly thin and I expect nervous trading ahead of the Nvidia earnings. We often hear one should not pay too much attention to a single company result but to put things into perspective, the strongest move Nvidia had recently after a release was 24% move, at 3 trillion in Market cap, such a move would add or wipe out 720 billion in market cap. That is more than half the German Dax.
