Week of November 12th Stock Market Watch

Education, Trading , , , , , ,

All three major stock indices post gains this week, led by the Dow Jones Industrials which closed more than 3% higher. IBM, UnitedHealth Group Incorporated, and McDonald’s were among the strongest stocks in the Dow.

Despite the second straight week of gains posted by the market, it closed down on Friday, as concerns of a global economic slowdown re-emerged. Adding to concerns are declining oil prices, they’ve dropped by 15% over the last month.

That said, a lot of uncertainty surrounding the market was cleared up, including the midterm elections and the FOMC meeting. Also, many of the top companies have announced earnings.

Stocks making moves last week included Hertz +31.5%, Twilio +24%, Ctrip.com -25%, and Activision Blizzard -20%.

The VIX closed below 20 for the second straight week, as it finished Friday’s trading at 17.36.

Week of November 5th Stock Market Watch

Education, Investments , , , , ,

Stocks temporarily bounced back last week, as the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average gained more than 2.4%.

Concerns about trade, politics, the global economy, and earnings are creating uncertainty in the market.

The Federal Reserve is meeting Nov 8th to announce its interest rate decision. Fears of rising rates have also hurt stocks recently.

Stocks making moves last week included Under Armour +31.8%, NXP Semiconductors +18.51%, and General Electric -17.8%.

Traders begin to speak about volatility, especially if the VIX, the market’s fear index, is trading above 20. The VIX closed below 20, despite Friday’s sell-off.

Week of October 29th Stock Watch

Education, Trading , , , , ,

Stocks continued to sell-off, as the Dow and S&P 500 turned negative for the year. Fears of rising interest rates, trade tensions with China, and economic slowdown are all weighing down on stocks.

Plenty of earnings going into the week including Apple and Facebook. The market was disappointed by earnings from Amazon and Alphabet, putting pressure on tech stocks.

It wasn’t bad news for every stock. For example, Tesla saw its shares rise by more than 27% after a strong earnings report. On the other hand, chipmaker AMD continued to see selling pressure as it dropped by more than 25% on the week.

The VIX closed above 24, as volatility remains elevated.

October 23, 2018 The Week Ahead

Education, Trading , , , ,

The stock market continues to sell-off on fears of rising rates, trade disputes, and geopolitical tensions. Despite this, earnings have been relatively strong to date. However, we can’t deny the weakness in certain sectors. For example, the homebuilders ETF has sold off 21 out of 23 days.

Going into the week the focus will be on earnings. Outside of the US Markets, traders are following Italy’s budget story as well as the Shanghai index. It was announced earlier that China’s Q3 GDP grew at a slower pace than projected.

The VIX continues to trade above the 20 level as risk off maintains to be a theme in the markets.

US Stocks moved steadily higher over the week, as another strong quarter was recorded on the books. Despite sitting near highs, investors are wondering how much longer the bull market can continue. Some fear that rising interest rates and debt levels could be the culprit that takes this market lower.

We’ll see what the FOMC has to say about this later in the week as they are set to meet. Interestingly, several publications including Barron’s mentioned gold over the weekend as a potential investment again.

US Stocks rallied over the week, but still remain vulnerable to headline risk. Specifically, the ongoing trade negotiations between China. Thus far, the market has rallied when there have been rumors on a trade agreement and has sold-off on rumors that more tariffs will be implemented.

It remains a wait and see scenario.
