。The S&P 500 just posted its best week this year and is now 4 percent from the old historic closing high. Traders increasingly believe global central banks have their backs. Volatility remains low and bond yields are continuing to drop.  Quadruple witching (quarterly expiration of index options and futures, and stock options and futures) has added a lot of volume this week and likely contributed to the upside rally. But the question is whether the expiration exhaust near term demand. The S&P 500 tends to be lower in the week after quadruple witching. ---CNBC

。According to a report by the South China Morning Post, the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping to end the trade war which was tentatively pushed back from March to April, may be pushed back again, this time to to June, as the two leaders "will not be able to finalize an agreement by April."The Fed is the big story the week ahead, and while it should sound dovish for markets, some analyst say the reaction could be more neutral as it is already priced in. ---CNBC

。As the U.S. and the EU struggle to iron out their differences on trade, Trump said, “they are willing to talk to us and if they don’t talk to us, we’re going to do something that’s going to be pretty severe economically. We’re going to tariff a lot of their products.” The president was almost certainly referring to imports of cars from the EU, a threat he has made in the past. ---ZeroHedge

。标准普尔500指数刚刚公布了今年最好的一周,现在距离历史最高收盘价只差4%。炒家越来越相信全球央行正在支持股市。波动指标仍然很低,债券收益率继续下降。四重魔日(指数期权和期货以及股票期权和期货到期)使上周交易量增加了,可能有助于上行反弹。但问题是近期的到期交易量是否已令需求减小。标准普尔500指数在经历四重魔日之后的一周内往往会走低。 --- CNBC

。据“南华早报”报道,美国总统唐纳德特朗普与中国国家主席习近平3月至4月为结束贸易战的会晤可能会再次被推迟到6月,因为这两位领导人“无法在4月前完成协议。”美联储是未来一周的重大事件,虽然市场认为联储策略会温和,但一些分析师表示,由于已经被反应国,市场反应可能会不大。--- CNBC

。特朗普说,“随着美国和欧盟努力消除贸易分歧,他们愿意与我们交谈,如果他们不与我们交谈,我们将做一些对经济上相当严重的事情。我们将对他们的许多产品征收关税。“总统几乎肯定是指从欧盟进口汽车,这是他过去所做的威胁。 --- ZeroHedge

。 2月份中国智能手机出货量萎缩至6年来的最低水平,表明超饱和行业未能在全球经济衰退中扭转局面。路透社援引中国信息通信技术研究院的话报道,2月份对中国的出货量为1450万台,比去年下降了19.9%。 这是自2013年2月以来的最低总数。AAPL +1.14% --- ZeroHedge 

。Needham将Facebook(FB)的评级从买入下调至持有,理由是对偏于实行隐私和加密信息的财务影响,监管风险增加,以及“不能阻止上传到FB的可怕图像(如最近的新西兰事件)”的担忧而伤害了FB的品牌。 美国银行美林(Bank of America Merrill Lynch)将Facebook 目标价从205美元下调至187美元,称“更加以隐私为中心的平台可能会引发三年增长的问题。”  FB-2.31%---Seeking Alpha

。埃塞俄比亚的调查人员表示,其波音(BA)737 MAX 8调查发现上周坠机事件与10月坠毁的狮子航空飞机失事之间存在“明显的相似之处”。 波音公司周日表示,它正在最终确定软件升级的发展和737 MAX飞行员培训的修订,旨在解决飞机的飞行控制系统 -  MCAS  - 如何响应错误的传感器输入。 BA -2.02% ---Seeking Alpha
