Tesla gained 44% and Nvidia 39%, Amazon 22% and Apple 13%. These numbers are Year to Date not 365 days.
FX was less risk on and the USD was relatively strong . The USD Index closed at near 102 and EURUSD 1.0867 and GBPUSD near 1.24.
We are entering a key week with :
- many instruments at key level and this week could bring massive breakouts.
- 3 G7 central banks announce rates and could either cause a revival of the USD or confirm that the BoE and the ECB are more hawkish than the Fed as expected. EURUSD needs to take out 1.0920 and GBPUSD 1.2450
- China is back from the NewYear Celebration and reopened after Covid – we can expect a surge of consumption.
- Earnings from the big tec on Wednesday and Thursday
- Geopolitical Risks from the attack on Iran as well as the alliance against China to restrict chip exports.
