Technical bounce targets for Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite are 25430, 2860 and 7850 respectively.

Goldman Sachs and Cowen previously predicted 29% and 26% earnings reductions, respectively, if China did ban the iPhone.

在主要股指在昨天的交易中获得重要支撑后,美股今日有买家。 主要市场指数开盘并保持温和上涨。 由于标准普尔500指数和纳斯达克综合指数均维持在200日移动均线上方并且道琼斯指数也守住38%的回撤位,因此市场可能会从此反弹。 月底的买盘和走弱的VIX也应该对市场有所帮助。 道指,标准普尔500指数和纳斯达克综合指数的技术反弹目标分别为25430, 2860和7850。

Short Term Market Bounce Likely 市场短期反弹的机会大

Chinese threaten ban on rare earth export which deepens trade war; Government bond yields across the world are tumbling in worry of global economic slow down and German unemployment unexpectedly surged for the first time in almost two years as the economic slowdown finally started to take a toll on its labor market were bad news this morning that caused big drops among major US stock market indexes. At the day's low, Dow dropped 410 points, S&P 500 36 points and Nasdaq Composite 134 points. By the close the indexes cut their losses in half and are down only 221 points, 36 points and 60 points for the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite respectively.

The importance of today's action are that the Dow is above its 38% retracement level (retracement of big up move from December 24 low to April 23 high) support at 24797 even though it is below 200 day moving average 26430. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite have recovered above their 200 day moving averages at 2776 and 7527. These levels are now become stronger supports. The next level of supports for both of them are their 38% retracement levels at 2722 and 7424 respectively.

Since major market indexes are able to hold above their major supports and a bounce from these levels are reasonable. Oversold semiconductor (SMH) and energy (OIH) sectors have started to bounce and they both closed positive today should help. Fear gauge $VIX was calm even when the Dow dropped over 400 points this morning indicates investors still willing to buy stocks. And one observation is that, every time the Dow dropped more than 400 points, buying always came in,this  happened twice recently. My speculation is that, since interest rate is at historical low and there are no better investing vehicles returns better than stocks, investors have no choice but to stay in stock.

All said, US stock market is still in a down trend but a short term bounce looks imminent. Upside targets for Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq are 25430, 2860 and 7850 respectively.














中国威胁禁止稀土出口,加剧贸易战;由于担忧全球经济放缓,全球政府债券收益率都在下滑及经济放缓开始对德国劳动力市场造成影响,德国失业率近两年来首次出人意料地飙升,这些都是今天上午造成美国主要股市指数大幅下跌的坏消息。道琼斯指数曾一度下跌410点,标准普尔500指数下跌36点及纳斯达克综合指数下跌134点。收盘时,指数收复了早上跌幅的一半,道指,标准普尔500指数和纳斯达克综合指数分别下跌221点,36点和60点。

今日的重要性在于道琼斯指数高于其38%的回撤水平(从12月24日的低点回升至4月23日的高位的回撤)支撑价位24797,尽管它低于200日均线26430。标准普尔500指数和纳斯达克综合指数均收于200日移动平均线上方,分别收于2776点和7527点。这些水平现已成为更强劲的支撑位。这两个指数的下一个支撑位是他们的38%回撤水平,分别为2722和7424。

由于主要市场指数能够保持在它们主要支撑位之上,所以从这些水平反弹是合理的。超卖的半导体(SMH)和能源(OIH)板块已开始了反弹,今天两者均收涨会对市场所帮助。尽管道指今早跌幅超过400点但恐慌指数VIX却表现平静,表明投资者并不恐慌并仍愿意入市。近期的观察显示,每当道琼斯指数下跌超过400点时,买盘总会进来,最近已发生了两次。我的猜测是,由于利率处于历史低位且没有比股票回报更好的投资渠道,投资者别无选择而只能留在股票市场。

美国股市整体仍处于下跌趋势,但短期反弹似乎迫在眉睫。道琼斯指数,标准普尔500指数和纳斯达克指数的反弹目标分别为25430,2860和7850。








Two Stocks For Short Term Trades 两只短炒的股票

Intel (INTC) and Qualcom (QCOM) are up while the general market is down big today. These two stock has dragged the semiconductor stock sector up with them. INTC is down about 25% from its all time high while QCOM is down around 26% from its all time high and they are oversold. INTC has touched support at 63 and QCOM's support is at 65. So it's reasonable for them to bounce from these levels. Fundamentally, INTC's projected forward PE is a low 9.63. Projected EPS this year will be +42%. It has a dividend yield of 2.89%. All these are attractive for many investors. As for QCOM the good news is that company is go to appeal it's lost antitrust lawsuit and FTC Commissioner Christine Wilson, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, wrote a commentary in the Wall Street Journal calling Koh’s ruling “alarming” and calling for it to be revisited. This may increase the chance of over turn the antitrust ruling. If that's the case, QCOM will skyrocket again.  I think these two stocks are suitable for a short term bounce trade with bounce targets for INTC to 46.5 then 48.5 and QCOM to 71.5.  Remember these are only short term trades since the stocks are still in down trend and the general market trend is not looking good.











今天整体市场大幅下滑,而英特尔(INTC 44.17)和高通(QCOM 66.03)股价却上涨。这两只股票帮助了半导体股票板块上升。 INTC从历史高点下跌约25%,而QCOM从历史高点下跌约26%,并且超卖。 INTC已经触及支撑位63,而QCOM的支撑位则在65。 所以他们从这些水平反弹是合理的。从基本面上说,INTC预计的市盈率为挺低的9.63。预计今年EPS将增长42%。股息收益率为2.89%。所有这些对许多投资者都很有吸引力。至于QCOM,好消息是该公司将上诉其失败的反托拉斯诉讼,而由唐纳德特朗普总统任命的FTC专员克里斯蒂娜威尔逊在华尔街日报上写了一篇评论,称Koh的裁决“令人担忧”并要求它重新审视。这可能会增加平反反垄断裁决的机会。如果是这样的话,QCOM将再会次飙升。我认为这两只股票现在适合短期反弹交易,INTC的反弹目标为46.5 然后48.5,QCOM为71.5。请记住,这些都只是短期交易,因为这两只股票还在跌势之中而整个市场的情况还是不妙。

。US Stock market opened sharply lower. Dow dropped below its 200 day moving average while S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both challenged their 200 day moving averages. Helped by rebounding of the oversold semiconductor stocks, with the lead of Nasdaq , the market staged a rebound. At the moment, both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq composite are above their 200 day moving averages at 2776 and 7527 respectively. However, the Dow is solidly below its 200 day moving average at 25430 and this may be a drag for the market. It is crucial for S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite not to break below their 200 day moving averages, more downside likely if this happens.

。Government bond yields across the world are tumbling again, with the U.S. 10-year  trading at 2.23% this morning as global trade tensions mount. The gap between the three-month and 10-year American yield fell as low as minus 12 basis points (yield curve inverted, a recession indicator), the most since negative 2007. Benchmark yields in Australia and New Zealand dropped to all-time lows, Japan’s fell close to -0.1%, the lowest in three years, while German bund yields are close to the rock-bottom.  ---Bloomberg

。Germany reported that its economy appears to have finally hit major pothole as German unemployment unexpectedly surged for the first time in almost two years as the economic slowdown finally started to take a toll on the labor market, according to Bloomberg. Specifically, in May the number of people out of work climbed by 60,000 compared with economists’ forecasts for a decline of 8,000, while the jobless rate also increased to 5% from a record-low 4.9%. ---Zero Hedge

。The pan-European STOXX 600 was down 1.4% to its lowest point since March 11, basic resources leading the losses with a 2.5% decline as all sectors remained in the red. Traders are taking a more cautious approach to risk assets, with the trade battle between Washington and Beijing proving to be a main point of anxiety for global markets. In Europe fears of a coming political battle between Rome and Brussels returned this week as reports emerged stating the EU is considering disciplinary action over the Italian government’s failure to rein in debt.---CNBC

。It's looking increasingly likely that the Communist Party might impose an export ban on rare-earth metals, creating serious supply-chain issues for American producers of everything from microchips, to batteries, to night-vision goggles. China's powerful state-planning body threatened to use rare earths as "China's counter-weapon against the US's unwarranted suppression"...while a host of state-controlled media organizations used rare threatening language intended to convey that Beijing isn't playing around. ---Zero Hedge

。Pivotal Research Group analyst Michael Levine began covering the online retail giant AMZN with a buy rating and 12-month price target of $2,750, the highest on the Street. Amazon is “a must-own name with huge upside even from here,” Levine wrote in a note, adding that he regards the company as having the highest quality management and franchise within the global Internet sector. Levine sees Amazon’s move to one-day shipping as a “massive strategic step towards total retail dominance.” ---Bloomberg

。While other chip makers have forecast a sluggish 2019, AMD has been optimistic since the beginning of the year, banking on the second half and its slew of new products. Cowen analyst Matthew Ramsay, who has an outperform rating and a $36 price target, said AMD stole the show at Computex in Taipei, Taiwan, a show focused on personal computers that hosted Chief Executive Lisa Su for the keynote address. Stifel analyst Kevin Cassidy, who has a buy rating and a $34 price target on AMD, noted the historic nature of AMD’s product launch. ---Market Watch

。Qualcomm (QCOM) has asked Federal Judge Lucy Koh not to enforce her decision that it illegally squeezed out rivals in the smartphone chip market as it plans to file an appeal that could take more than a year to wind through the courts. The ruling would force it to rework its license deals by "radically restructuring" its business in a way that would be impossible to unwind if it wins on appeal. Qualcomm argues that Koh excluded evidence after a March 2018 cutoff date - including the fact that Apple dropped Qualcomm in favor of Intel - and said that the FTC's theory in the lawsuit was unprecedented in antitrust law.---Seeking Alpha

美国股市大幅低开。道指跌破200日移动均线,而标准普尔500指数和纳斯达克综合指数均触及200日移动均线。受半导体股超卖反弹的推动,在纳斯达克的带领下,市场出现反弹。目前,标准普尔500指数和纳斯达克综合指数分别高于其200天移动平均线2776和7527。然而,道指稳固地低于200日移动平均线25430,这将是市场的拖累。对于标准普尔500指数和纳斯达克综合指数而言,至关重要的是不要跌穿200日均线,如果出现这种情况,市场会有更多的下行空间。

When one think of stocks that dropped 20% to 68%, one would think they have dropped too much, oversold, and ready to bounce, right?

Downside Reversal Day Likely Today 今天成为反转下跌日的机会大

S&P 500 was up 19 points this morning and is now up only 5. Dow was up 180 points earlier and is now up only 80. S&P 500 dropped through the high end of it's opening gap and went ahead to fill the gap, proceed to challenge yesterday's closing price, it then rallied to test the high end of its opening gap twice only to drop again from there, all these are bearish actions. This has the look of a down side reversal day, this pattern would be confirmed if S&P 500 drop through yesterday closing price of 2822. No progress in the US-China trade front and the long weekend ahead may drive traders to sell stock to avoid risk. Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG) turning negative from up should also drags. The Dow 200 day moving average at 25434 is likely to be retested.

President Trump's optimistic talk on quick trade deal encouraged stock buyers at the open. FAANG stock bounce are are helping the Nasdaq while strength in Boeing (BA) is helping the Dow.  However talk is just talk and there is no sign of progress in US-China trade talk. Dow was up about 180 point earlier and is now pull back to only up 83 point.  Technically, it is positive that the Dow was able to close above it's 200 day moving average at 25434. But trends of major market indexes are still down as they are still below their 50 day moving averages. As Trump's optimistic talk wears off, the Dow will likely retest it's 200 day moving average again.

。"Optimistic" comments by President Trump, who repeated previous reports that he would meet China's Xi in June at the G-20 meeting, which boosted "hopes of progress" in U.S.-China trade talks, especially after Trump once again predicted a quick trade deal with China, one that could include Huawei.---Zero Hedge

。After March's huge upside surprise, durable goods orders were expected to slide 2.0% MoM in April but the preliminary print was slightly worse than expected (-2.1% MoM) and made worse by a notable downward revision to March (from +2.8% to +1.7%).---Zero Hedge

。Oil had its worst day of the year yesterday, dropping almost 6% as the commodity got caught in the stampede out of risky assets. Tensions in the Middle East had helped to shelter crude from some of the worst fears on global trade as investors balanced demand concerns against a possible supply disruption. Clearly that balance broke yesterday amid the renewed global growth concerns. While oil is 1.2% higher at $58.62 a barrel this morning, the damage is clear. ---Bloomberg

。Facebook's (FB) vaulting ambition to create a new global digital currency has led it to hold talks with some of America’s largest trading houses and crypto exchanges, FT reports. They include Jump and DRW, Chicago's biggest highfrequency trading firms, as well as Coinbase and Gemini, which was founded by Mark Zuckerberg's sworn enemies - the Winklevoss twins. The project is thought to be "bigger and more open" than just a way to make payments and purchases within Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, linking the currency's value to the dollar to be used across the real world.---Wall Street Breakfast

。Although the agency is not committing to a timetable, FAA representatives told the United Nations' aviation agency that the grounding of Boeing's (BA) 737 MAX in the U.S. could end as early as late June, Reuters reports. The target, if achieved, means U.S. airlines would likely not have to greatly extend costly cancellations of MAX jets they have already put in place for the peak summer flying season.---Wall Street Breakfast

。Amazon.com (AMZN) shares will reach $3,000 between mid-2021 and mid-2022, according to a Piper Jaffray analyst report. Piper said that this move — which would be a more than 60 percent jump from current levels — is based on Amazon meeting what it considers conservative growth targets. ---CNBC

。Foot Locker(FL) — The athletic footwear and apparel retailer reported adjusted quarterly profit of $1.53 per share, missing estimates by 7 cents a share. Revenue also came in below forecasts, and a comparable-store sales increase of 4.6% was below the 5.1% estimate of analysts surveyed by Refinitiv. ---CNBC

。There is bullish call on Cannabis producer Aphria (APHA)at Jefferies. Analyst Owen Bennett (Buy/C$15) sees a "big disconnect between valuation and strategic positioning," adding that a "significant re-rating in shares" is ahead as the company emerges from allegations of inflated assets and insider deals.

特朗普总统称贸易协议会快速达成的乐观谈话鼓励了今早开市股票买家。 FAANG股票的反弹帮助纳斯达克上升,而波音(BA)的强势帮助了道指。然而谈话只是谈话,美中贸易谈判并没有任何进展迹象。道指早前曾上涨约180点,现在回落至仅上涨83点。从技术面来看,道指昨日收于200日移动均线25434附近是正面的。但主要市场指数的走势仍在下行,因为它们仍低于50日移动均线。随着特朗普的乐观谈话的消退,道琼斯指数再次重新测试其200日移动平均线的机会大。

。昨日石油价格是今年最糟糕的一天,随着商品因风险资产下跌而下跌近6%。由于投资者平衡了对可能出现供应中断的担忧,中东地区的紧张局势有助于避免原油对全球贸易的一些担忧。显然,在全球经济增长担忧加剧的情况下,尽管今早油价上涨1.2%至每桶58.62美元,但损失仍然很明显。 ---彭博

。据英国“金融时报”报道,Facebook(FB)创建新的全球数字货币的雄心壮志促使它与美国一些最大的贸易公司和加密交易所进行谈判。它们包括芝加哥最大的高频交易公司Jump和DRW,以及由Mark Zuckerberg的死敌 -  Winklevoss双胞胎创立的Coinbase和Gemini。该项目被认为“更大,更开放”,而不仅仅是在Facebook,Instagram和WhatsApp中进行支付和购买的方式,将货币的价值与美元联系起来,用于整个现实世界.---Wall Street Breakfast

Fear Just Began 恐慌刚开始


TVIX (23.44): The investment seeks to replicate, net of expenses, the returns of twice (2x) the daily performance of the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures index. 


TVIX dropped from 31.86 to 20.6 (-35.3%) in the course of just two weeks. The consistent selling of TVIX before was indicative of extreme optimism on the the stock market. This optimism just changed to pessimism today as TVIX bounced up over 12%. TVIX has more to go as the general consensus of a USChina trade deal will be made just got throw out of the window. As major stock indexes broke their important supports, more fear is to come. TVIX can easily go back up to the high made in May 9 at 31.89 and more.











TVIX (23.44):投资渠道寻求复制,扣除费用后,标准普尔500 VIX短期期货指数每日表现的两倍(2倍)回报。


TVIX在短短两周内从31.86降至20.6(-35.3%)。 之前TVIX的持续抛售表明投资人对股市极度乐观。 由于今天TVIX反弹超过12%,乐观情绪正在变成了悲观情绪。 TVIX会上升更多因为中美贸易能达成协议的普遍共识已被抛弃。 随着主要股指跌穿它们的重要支撑,更多的恐惧即将到来。 TVIX可以很容易地回到5月9日的高点31.89或以上。

。Semiconductor, energy, biotech, financials , transportation and material sector stocks are all below their 20, 50 and 200 day moving averages. Their trends are down.

。From their highs to today's prices, Dow -4.9%, S&P 500 -4.7% and Nasdaq Composite -6.8%. These drops are not enough consider trade war intensified and weak global economic data. Normal correction is 5% to15%.


Fundamentals:

Worsening US-China trade war and lower than expected May PMI are driving US stock market down sharply this morning. There are only 2 stocks up out of 30 in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The Dow's 200 day moving average support 25433 has broken and semiconductor ETF SMH is also below its 200 day moving average and the very weak oil stocks (OIH), all could accelerate the stock market down turn.  Very weak oversea markets may deter any market bounce attempt. Stock market's next support will be the 200 day moving averages of S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite and they are 2777 and 7532.

。The breakdown in Sino-U.S. talks and the latest targeting of Chinese companies by the White House has economists at investment banks increasingly pessimistic about the long-term outlook. Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Nomura Holdings Inc. and JPMorgan Chase and Co. are among those pricing-in a greater chance of a protracted trade war. One China analyst sees both sides stuck in a cycle of “fighting and talking” until 2035. Meanwhile, the fallout is hitting emerging-market investors’ favorite tech companies, with the three biggest losing $170 billion in value so far this month. ---Bloomberg

。The United States needs to correct its wrong actions if it wants to continue negotiations with China to end a damaging tariff war, China’s Commerce Ministry said on Thursday, adding that talks should be based on mutual respect. The United States has escalated trade frictions greatly, and increased chances of a global economic recession, spokesman Gao Feng said at a weekly briefing, adding that Beijing will take necessary steps to safeguard Chinese firms’ interests.---Reuters

。The International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker shows Huawei shipped 206 million smartphones, 105 million in mainland China, accounting for 26.4% of the domestic market last year. Apple placed fifth in the country with 9.1%. By 1Q19, that fell to 7% compared to a 3% share gain for Huawei, according to Counterpoint. "Chinese consumers' love for Huawei can only increase because of the ban," said Kiranjeet Kaur, senior research manager at IDC Asia Pacific. "Unless of course hardware supply chain constraints affect the roll-out of its phones locally." ---Zero Hedge

。Hedge funds reveal their holdings four time a year in regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the information is released to the public 45 days after each quarter ends. Steadfast Capital piled into General Electric (GE), adding more than $153 million worth of shares by the end of the first quarter. The fund also added new bets on PG&E(PCG), Burlington Stores(BURL) and Facebook (FB). Steadfast has $10.6 billion in asset under management and the fund’s stock picks have returned 23.4% year to date, beating the S&P 500′s 14% gain, according to Symmetric.

RA picked up Sage Therapeutics (SAGE) and Axsome Therapeutics (AXSM), which are both pharmaceutical companies developing drugs for central nervous system disorders. ---CNBC

。Slowing iPhone demand, trade war headwinds and possible ripple effects from a Huawei battle don’t bode well for Apple (AAPL), according to UBS, which cut its 12-month price target on the iPhone maker to $225 (from $235). UBS still has a Buy rating on the stock, but cited evidence from a survey of 8,000 people across six countries that suggests consumers are in no rush to upgrade their phones, and for iPhones specifically, "purchase intention" looks to be stabilizing at a low level in all regions except China. ---Seeking Alpha

。Mizuho cuts Qualcomm (QCOM) to Neutral and drops the price target from $90 to the Street-low $65. Analyst Vijay Rakesh cites uncertainty after the antitrust court ruling, which creates significant overhang and could pose a 50% downside risk to EPS. ---Seeking Alpha

美中贸易战的恶化以及低于预期的5月采购经理人指数正在推动美国股市今早大幅下挫。 道琼斯工业平均指数30只股票中只有3只股票在上涨。 道琼斯指数200日移动平均线支撑位25433已经被击穿,半导体ETF SMH也低于200日移动均线及能源股(OIH)的弱势,这些都可能加速股市的下行。 海外市场非常疲软也会阻止任何市场反弹的尝试。 股市的下一个支撑位将是标准普尔500指数和纳斯达克综合指数的200天移动平均线,它们分别为2777和7532。

。5月美国采购经理人指数综合指数为50.8,之前为52.8,市场预期为52.8。制造业采购经理人指数为50.6,而52.3为共识,之前为52.4。 服务业采购经理人指数50.9对52.8的共识,52.9先前。 ---Seeking Alpha

。中美谈判破裂以及白宫最近针对中国公司的目标是投资银行的经济学家对长期前景越来越悲观的原因。高盛集团(Goldman Sachs Group Inc.),野村控股(Nomura Holdings Inc.)和摩根大通(JPMorgan Chase and Co。)等公司认为长期贸易战有可能发生。一位中国分析师认为,双方在2035年之前一直处于“战斗和谈话”的循环中。与此同时,这一影响力正在打击新兴市场投资者最喜欢的科技公司,本月迄今为止最大的三家公司的亏损额达到了1700亿美元。 ---彭博

。中国商务部周四表示,如果美国希望继续与中国谈判以结束破坏性的关税战争,美国需要纠正错误的行动,并补充说,谈判应该建立在相互尊重的基础上。发言人高峰在每周一次的通报会上表示,美国已大大加剧了贸易摩擦,增加了全球经济衰退的可能性,并表示北京将采取必要措施保护中国企业的利益.---路透社

。国际数据公司(IDC)全球季度手机追踪显示,华为在中国大陆出货了2.06亿部智能手机,1.05亿部在中国,占去年国内市场的26.4%。苹果在全国排名第五,占9.1%。根据Counterpoint的数据,截至1Q19,这一数字下降至7%,相比华为的上涨3%。 IDC亚太区高级研究经理Kiranjeet Kaur说:“中国消费者对华为的热爱只会因禁令而增加。” “当然,除非硬件供应链的限制影响到本地电话的推出。” --- Zero Hedge

。对冲基金每年四次向美国证券交易委员会提交监管文件,并在每个季度结束后45天向公众发布信息。 Steadfast Capital涌入通用电气(GE),在第一季度末增加了超过1.53亿美元的股票。该基金还在PG&E (PCG),Burlington Stores (BURL)和Facebook(FB)上添加了新的赌注。 Symmetric表示,Steadfast管理的资产为106亿美元,该基金的股票选择今年迄今已回报23.4%,超过标准普尔500指数14%的涨幅。 RA Capital Management和Boxer Capital专注于医疗保健和生物技术公司。 RA选择了Sage Therapeutics (SAGE)和Axsome Therapeutics(AXSM),它们都是开发中枢神经系统疾病药物的制药公司。 --- CNBC

。根据瑞银(UBS)的说法,iPhone的需求放缓,贸易战的逆风和华为之争可能产生的连锁效应对于苹果公司(AAPL)来说并不是好兆头。瑞银表示将iPhone制造商的12个月目标价格降至225美元(从235美元)。 瑞银仍然对该股票有买入评级,但引用来自六个国家的8,000人调查的证据表明消费者并不急于升级他们的手机,而对于iPhone而言,“购买意向”看起来除在中国以外的所有地区稳定在低位 的水平。 ---Seeking Alpha

。瑞穗将高通(QCOM)的评级下调至中立,并将价格目标从90美元下调至街头低点65美元。 分析师Vijay Rakesh在反托拉斯法院裁决后引用了不确定性,这导致了重大的担忧,并可能给EPS带来50%的下行风险。 ---Seeking Alpha

Market Comments Before Close 收市前市场评论

US stock market opened down, bounced and is now trending down again. S&P 500 are trading below its 50 day moving average at 2873. Its trend is down. Now that FOMC Minutes confirm hawkish "transitory" inflation outlook and remains "patient for some time", the market may accelerate to the downside. Qualcom(QCOM) lost a law anti-competition lawsuit and stock drops over nearly 12% , Apple (AAPL) price target lowered by Goldman Sachs to 178 and oil sector dropping over 4% all are drags for the market. Separately, US is considering cutting off the flow of American technology to as many as five Chinese companies including Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology, the world's largest supplier of video surveillance products adding tension on the trade front does not help also. What is strange is that volatility index ETF VXX is not showing fear (we don't know what the institutions are conspiring ). However,the weakness in VXX is also indicative of complacency, and this is negative for the market.  There are all kind of reasons for the market to come down and I think the main reason is the market has not discounted the impact of trade war. The market trend is down as long as the S&P 500 does not recover above its 50 day moving average 2873.









美国股市开盘下跌,反弹, 现在再次下跌。标准普尔500指数低于其50日均线2873点, 趋势下跌。刚发布的 联邦公开市场委员会会议纪要确认鹰派的“短暂”通胀前景并且仍然会“耐心一段时间”,市场可能会加速下行。美国高通公司(QCOM)反竞争诉讼败诉,股价下跌近12%,高盛(Goldman Sachs)将苹果公司(AAPL)的价格目标下调至178及石油股下跌超过4%都是市场的拖累。另外,美国正在考虑切断美国技术流向多达五家中国公司,包括杭州海康威视数字技术公司,这是全球最大的视频监控产品供应商,也增加了贸易方面的紧张局势。奇怪的是波动指数ETF VXX没有表现出恐惧(我们不知道机构有甚么阴谋)。不过另一种看法是 VXX的弱势显示过分乐观,这对市场不利。市场现在有各种下跌的原因,我想主要原因是市场还没有反映贸易战的负面影响。只要标准普尔500指数没有突破50日均线2873,市场走势就会下跌。
