习主席和拜登的会晤结束了。 彭博评论:外交部发言人毛宁周四在北京举行的例行记者会上表示,拜登称中国领导人习近平为独裁者“极其错误”。 独裁者的言论可能会掩盖一些非常重要领域的突破,即控制芬太尼和两军相互对话。 中国可能选择忽视它……也可能选择不忽视。”

上周首次申请失业救济人数跃升至 23.1 万人(上调为 21.8 万人),创 8 月以来最高水平。 国债 ETF TLT 上涨 1.31%,10 年期收益率降至 4.453%。

道指成分股沃尔玛 (WMT) 非 GAAP 每股收益为 1.53 美元,超出 0.01 美元,收入为 160.8B 美元,超出 2.26B 美元,上调了 2023 财年和调整后每股收益指引。 然而,在首席执行官表示将在假期期间降低价格通货紧缩的普通商品的价格后,WMT 下跌了 7.26% 以上。 尽管有迹象表明网络硬件新订单需求放缓,但道指成分股思科 (CSCO) 公布的第一财季业绩好于预期,但仍大幅下调了年度指引。 股价下跌11.64%。 Palo Alto Network (PANW) 公布第一季度业绩,但第二季度和全年营收指引低于预期,股价下跌 6%。

今天主要市场指数窄幅波动而偏于下跌。 考虑到 WMT、CSCO 和 PANW 在盈利报告后均大幅下跌加上近期股市的已经大幅上涨,其稳定程度令人惊讶。 美国国债收益率大幅下降可能有所帮助。 如果股市能够像今天这样持续几天的盘整,那么另一次上涨可能会随之而来。 标普500支撑位为4450点,阻力位为4541点。

10 月份生产者价格指数下降 0.5%,而预期为上升 0.1%,9 月份为上升 0.4%(修正前为 +0.5%)。 环比降幅创2020年4月以来最终需求价格最大跌幅。同比上涨1.3%,显着低于预期的2.0%涨幅和在九月同比涨幅2.2% 。 不包括食品和能源的核心 PPI 与月相比持平,预期为 +0.3%,之前为 +0.2%(修正前为 +0.3%)。尽管PPI低于预期,今早10 年期国债收益率升至 4.537%,国债 ETF TLT 下跌 1.36%。

10 月份零售额环比小幅下降 0.1%,至 $705.0B,而预期下降 0.3%,且较 9 月份 0.9% 的增幅有所放缓(从 +0.7% 修正)。 与此同时,核心零售额增长 0.1%,高于预期的 -0.2%,较上月的 +0.8% 有所放缓(修正前为 +0.6%)。 10月份社会消费品零售总额同比增长2.5%,环比下降0.1%。

塔吉特 (TGT) 公布的第三季度收入高于预期,并公布了当前三个月的预测,该预测大大高于华尔街的预期,因为这家大型零售商开始清理库存和畜栏成本。 TGT 上涨 17%。 尽管 TJX 公司 (TJX) 第三季度盈利创历史新高,但股价仍下跌 3.22%。 该零售商报告第三季度可比销售额增长 6%,超过普遍预期的 +4.5%,所有部门的客流量均有所增加。 然而,假期季度的指引令人失望。

比特币在连续两天从 38000 美元多一点回撤后,在突破点 35000 美元找到支撑,目前交易价格为 36242 美元,较昨日上涨 936 美元。 比特币趋势仍看涨,正在等待现货比特币 ETF 批准公布。 大多数人预计将于 1 月获得批准,而 Kevin O'Leary 则警告现货比特币ETF 的批准可能需要 18 个月的时间(这就是昨天比特币遭到抛售的原因)。

主要美股市场指数平均上涨0.4%。 然而,7 只大型科技股中有 4 只下跌,科技股纳斯达克 100 ETF QQQ 仍低于 7 月高点 387.42 点。 目前交易价格为 387.21。 在 2 1/2 周内飙升近 13% 后,科技股已经有些疲态,可能需要调整才能继续前进。QQQ支撑为380,阻力是388。 在加息和科技股走弱的拖累下,美股今天升幅不会太大并且要提防会开始回落。





Today's US Stock Market 11/15/2023

The Producer Price Index dipped 0.5% in October, compared with the 0.1% increase expected and the 0.4% rise in September (revised from +0.5%). The month-over-month decline marks the largest decrease in final demand prices since April 2020. On a year-over-year basis, the PPI rose 1.3%, significantly less than the 2.0% increase expected and the 2.2% Y/Y increase in September. Core PPI, which excludes food and energy, was unchanged M/M vs. +0.3% expected and +0.2% prior (revised from +0.3%). Treasury ETF TLT is down 1.36% as 10 year yield rises to 4.537%.

October retail sales inched down 0.1% M/M to $705.0B, compared with the 0.3% decrease expected and decelerating from the 0.9% increase in September (revised from +0.7%). Core retail sales, meantime, ticked up 0.1%, topping the -0.2% consensus and slowing from +0.8% in the prior month (revised from +0.6%). Retail sales rose 2.5% year-over-year in October and were down 0.1% on a month-over-month comparison. 

Target (TGT) posted higher than expected income in the third quarter and delivered a forecast for its current three month period that was largely above Wall Street expectations, as the big box retailer moved to clear ou inventories and corral costs. TGT is up 17%.  TJX Companies (TJX) slipped 3.22% despite posting a Q3 earnings topper. The retailer reporting comparable sales of 6% in Q3 to top the consensus expectation of +4.5%, with customer traffic up across all divisions. However, holiday quarter guidance disappoints. 

After retracing 2 days in a row from a little over $38000, Bitcoin found support at breakout point $35000 and is now trading at $36242, up $936 from yesterdy. Bit coin trend is still up waiting for spot Bitcoin ETFs approval to be announced. Most people expected approval will come on January while Kevin O'Leary warns spot Bitcoin ETF approval could be 18 months away (this was the reason for Bitcoin sell off for yesterday).

Major U.S. stock market indexes rose an average of 0.4%. However, 4 out of 7 mega tech stocks fell, with the Tech Nasdaq 100 ETF QQQ still trading below its July high of 387.42 points. It is currently trading at 387.21. After surging nearly 13% in 2 1/2 weeks, tech stocks are already showing some signs of weakness and may need to correct before moving forward. QQQ support is 380 and resistance is 388. U.S. stocks not likely to rise much today and should be wary of starting to fall, dragged down by rising interest rates and weaker mega technology stocks.

摩根大通策略师Marki Kolanovic告诉客户卖出债券和股票,转向大宗商品,特别是石油。 “限制性货币政策可能会持续一段时间,股票估值较高,鉴于流动性缓冲减弱、一系列消费贷款产品利率高、贷款标准收紧以及拖欠率上升,消费者可能开始紧缩开支 ,”该策略师评论道。 “这可能会导致需求破坏,并削弱企业未来几个季度的定价能力和利润率,并显示明年每股收益增长 12% 的共识预期似乎过于乐观。”

消费者物价指数(#CPI)显示 10 月月度通胀为零,低于预期的 0.1% 增幅和 9 月 0.4% 的增幅。 本月的CPI的下降主要是由于汽油价格下跌。 与去年同期相比,10 月份 CPI 上涨 3.2%,而预期为+3.3%,此前为+3.7%。国债ETF #TLT急升2.31%, 10年国债回报率 (#TNX)大跌至4.453%。

道指成分股家得宝 (#HD) 报告称,第三季度可比销售额降幅小于预期,降幅低于彭博社一致预测的 3.31%,净利润较去年同期下降 12.2%,至 38.1 亿美元。 该公司对前景持谨慎态度,表示目前预计 2023 财年销售额和可比销售额按年化计算将下滑 3% 至 4%,将之前 2% 至 5% 的区间收窄。 然而,HD 上涨了6.5%。

今天主要市场指数大幅上涨,道琼斯指数、标准普尔 500 指数和纳斯达克指数分别上涨 1.47%、1.91% 和 2.27%。 这是今年涨幅最大的一天之一。 纳斯达克指数涨幅最大,在过去 2.5 周内上涨了 12.3%。 涨得太快太急了。 我想知道,年底的季节性涨势是不是来的过早而接近结束呢? 今天的上涨是因为CPI低于预期,人们认为利率肯定不会上涨。 但市场已经上演这个主题相当长一段时间了,而且这个主题可能快要不中用了。 现在我们可能不得不担心 Marki Kolanovic 在本文开头所谈论的内容。 另一个问题是,由于这次反弹,大型科技公司的估值突然再次过高。 以科技股为主的纳斯达克 100 ETF #QQQ 目前交易价格为 358.60,非常接近 7 月高点 387.42。 如果不休息的话,它很难通过这个阻力。近期美股很可能会有趁好消息被卖出的情况。






Today's US Stock Market 11/14/2023

JP Morgan strategist Marki Kolanovic is telling clients to sell bonds and stocks and move into commodities, specifically oil. " Restrictive monetary policy is likely to remain in place for some time, equity valuations are rich, and consumers are likely to begin to retrench given a fading liquidity buffer, high rates across a range of consumer loan products, tightening lending standards, and rising delinquencies," the strategist commented. "This is likely to drive demand destruction, and weakening pricing power and margins for corporates in the coming quarters, and suggests that consensus expectations that look for 12% EPS growth next year appear overly optimistic."

The Consumer Price Index indicated zero inflation M/M in October, less than the 0.1% increase expected and the 0.4% rise in September. The month's print was mainly due to falling gasoline prices. On a Y/Y basis, the October CPI climbed 3.2%, compared with the +3.3% expected and +3.7% prior. The Treasury Bond ETF #TLT surged 2.31%, while the 10-year Treasury Bond Return (#TNX) fell sharply to 4.453%.

Dow component Home Depot (#HD) has reported a smaller than expected decline in third quarter comparable sales, a shallower fall than Bloomber consensus forecasts for 3.31% decrease, Net earnings fell by 12.2% versus the corresponding period las year to $3.81billion. Company gives a cautious outlook, saying it now sees its fiscal 2023 sales and comaprable sales slipping by 3% to 4% on an annualized basis, narrowing its prior range of 2% to 5%. However, HD is up 6.5.

Major market indexes posted sharp gains today, with the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq up 1.47%, 1.91% and 2.27% respectively. This is one of the biggest increase of the year. The Nasdaq is the biggest gainer, rising 12.3% over the past 2.5 weeks. It has gone up too fast and too fast. I wonder if the seasonal rally at the end of the year has come too early and is almost over? Today's rise is because CPI is lower than expected and people think interest rates are definitely not going to rise. But the market has been playing this theme for quite some time, and it may be running out of steam. Now we might have to worry about what Marki Kolanovic was talking about at the beginning of this article. Another problem is that as a result of this rally, Big Tech's valuations are suddenly too high again. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 ETF #QQQ is currently trading at 358.60, very close to the July high of 387.42. It will be difficult to get pass this resistance without resting. It is likely that U.S. stocks are to be sold taking advantage of today's good news near term.

上周五,穆迪将美国信用评级展望从“稳定”下调至“负面”,理由是财政赤字庞大且债务承受能力下降。今早国债 ETF TLT 下跌 0.88%,10 年期收益率升至 4.674%。

投资者将关注本周的一系列经济数据以及美联储官员的讲话,以了解利率轨迹的迹象,人们普遍认为利率可能已停止上升。 周二预计将显示 10 月份总体消费者价格指数 (CPI)将从 9 月份的 3.7% 降至 3.3%。这将对股市有利。

另一个可能影响股市的事件是美国总统乔·拜登和中国国家主席习近平将于周三在旧金山会面,美国官员预计不会出现任何可以大幅改善两国关系的重大突破。 相反,白宫官员表示,他们峰会的主要目标之一只是确保双方继续对话,减少美中紧张局势升级为冲突的可能性。

道指成份股波音 (#BA) 宣布在迪拜航展期间赢得多家中东航空公司的合同后,该公司股价上涨约 5%。

技术上,主要市场指数在过去 10 个交易日中上涨了 9 个交易日,可能会出现一些获利回吐,但下跌空间可能有限。 道琼斯指数、标准普尔 500 指数和纳斯达克指数均已突破 4 个月下降趋势线并恢复上升趋势。 值得关注的关键水平是道指 34000、标准普尔 500 4335 和纳斯达克 13395。如果这些水平能守稳则市场趋势仍将看涨。




Today's US Stock Market 11/13/2023

Last friday, Moody lowered its outlook on the US credit rating to "Negative" from "Stable", citing large fiscal deficits and a decline in debt affordability. Treasury ETF TLT is down 0.88% as 10 year yield rising to 4.674%.

Investors will focus on a slew of economic data this week as well as speeches from Fed officials for signs on trajectory of interest rates amid growing expectations that is done hiking borrowing costs. CPI on Tuesday is expected to show headline consumer prices eased to 3.3% in October from 3.7% in September. This may help the stock market. 

Another event that might affect the stock market is U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet Wednesday in San Francisco, U.S. officials do not expect any major breakthroughs that could dramatically improve the relationship. Instead, White House officials say one of their main summit goals is simply to ensure that both sides continue talking, to reduce the chances that U.S.-China tensions spiral into conflict. 

Dow component Boeing (#BA) shares are trading higher by around 5% after it anounced winning contracts from several Middle Eastern airlines during the Dubai Airshow. 

Technically, major market indexes were up 9 days in the last 10, some profitaking is likely but downside could be limited. The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq have all broke above their 4 month downtrend lines and have resumed their uptrends. The key levels to watch are Dow 34000, S&P 500 4335 and Nasdaq 13395. If these levels hold, the market trend will still be up.

The Treasury ETF #TLT +0.71% rebounded today after falling sharply yesterday on hawkish comments from Fed Chairman Powell.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. ( #TSM +5.5% ) shares are trading higher today after the company reported revenue growth of 34.8% sequentially in October.

The market may move higher if this level is broken upwards, which is currently at 4372. The key 10-year Treasury yield #TNX level to watch is 4.7%, and if it breaks above that level, stocks could fall again, which is now 4.606%.

Tesla shares fell 3.22%. Dow component Disney ( #DIS ) reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings as its direct-to-consumer business slashed losses. DIS rose 6.3%. ARM (#ARM) beat expectations with results and forecasts, but shares fell 6.2% as the company noted "uncertainty about the exact timing of certain transactions and the potential for revenue recognition from future agreements to change." MGM Resorts (#MGM)'s third-quarter revenue and profit exceeded expectations, but its stock price fell 1.14%.

Bitcoin (#BTC) broke through the $36,000 resistance level, rising around $2,000 overnight to an 18-month high of $37,439. The near-term upward momentum could take it towards the $45,000 area. Bitcoin miners were all up significantly: RIOT +13%, MARA +18%, and BTBT +12%.

After eight trading days of gains, major U.S. stock indexes finally slowed down since yesterday. They rose first and then turned back down today. Elsewhere, after eight consecutive days of gains, the Treasury ETF #TLT reversed course and fell 1.15% today, with the 10-year Treasury yield back up to 4.553%. The recent average rise of stock indexes of 7% and the rebound in Treasury yields may serve as excuse for the stock market to pause and start a downward correction.






今日美股 11/9/2023

Nvidia (#NVDA) 股价上涨 2.31%,因有报道称该公司计划向中国发布三款新芯片。 汇丰银行开始对特斯拉 (#TSLA) 进行跟踪并冠以卖出评级,预计下行风险为 35%。 特斯拉股价下跌 3.22%。 道指成分股迪士尼 (#DIS) 第四季度盈利高于预期,直接面向消费者的业务大幅削减亏损。 DIS 上涨 6.3%。 ARM (#ARM) 的业绩和预测超出了预期,但股价下跌 6.2%,因为该公司指出“某些交易的确切时间存在不确定性,而且未来协议的收入确认情况可能会发生变化。” 米高梅度假村 (MGM) 第三季度营收和利润均超出预期,股价却下跌1.14%。

比特币 (#BTC) 突破 36000 美元阻力位,隔夜上涨约 2000 美元,至 18 个月高点 37439美元。 近期上行势头可能会将其带至 45000 美元区域。 比特币矿商均大幅上涨:RIOT +13%、MARA +18% 和 BTBT +12%。

Thousands of Palestinians walked for hours looking for a way out of the besieged northern Gaza Strip. The accelerating exodus from northern Gaza has alarmed the United Nations and some Western officials, who have urged Israel to end demands for people to leave the area, calling it an act of forced displacement.

Treasury Trust #TLT is up 1.03% this morning. It has risen in five of the past six trading days. The 10-year Treasury yield has fallen to 4.536% from 5% last week. Results from today's $40 billion 10-year Treasury auction will be released at 1:00 PM ET. Situation may change based on auction results.

Biogen (#BIIB) fell 4.19% after reporting third-quarter results that beat analysts' expectations.

Robinhood ( #HOOD ) shares fell more than 14% after reporting mixed third-quarter financial results and issuing higher guidance.

A sharp drop in US Treasury yields and strength in big tech stocks like #NVDA , #MSFT and #AAPL helped stabilize US stocks today. Technically,  major market indexes are facing resistance at their downtrend lines. After eight consecutive sessions of gains and facing resistance, U.S. stock indexes will need very good news to break above their resistances. A market downside correction is likely.

数以千计巴勒斯坦人步行数小时寻找离开被围困的加沙地带北部的方法。 加沙北部人员逃离的速度不断加快,引起了联合国和一些西方官员的警惕,他们敦促以色列停止要求人们离开该地区的要求,称这是强迫流离失所的行为。

国债信托 #TLT 今天上午上涨 1.03%。 过去6个交易日已上涨5天。10年期国债收益率已从上周的5%降至4.536%。 今天 400 亿美元的 10 年期国债拍卖结果将于下午 1:00 ET公布。 情况可能会根据拍卖结果而改变。

美国国债收益率大幅下降以及 #NVDA、#MSFT 和 #AAPL 等大型科技股的强势帮助了美国股市今天的稳定。 从技术上讲,主要市场指数在下降趋势线面临阻力。 在连续 8 个交易日上涨之后并面临阻力,美股指数需要非常好的消息才能突破阻力位。 市场下跌回调的可能性大。

There is no influential news impacting the US stock market today but the market is rallying lead by tech stocks. However, after 7 days average 7% gains of non-stop rally, the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite are all near their downtrend line resistances. The fear gauge VIX ETF UVXY is at September low of 12.80 indicating sentiment is too bullish. A near term downside correction is likely.

今天并无具影响力的消息影响美股但各大指数却上升。 科技股指上升最多。不过,经过 7 天平均7%的不间断上涨,道指、标普 500 指数和纳斯达克综合指数均已接近下降趋势线阻力位。恐慌指标 VIX 的ETF UVXY 处于 9 月份低点 12.80,表明市场情绪过于乐观。美股近期很有可能会出现下行修正。

在长达一个月的战争中最激烈的轰炸行动之一之后,以色列开始认真,危险地推进加沙城,用军队和装甲车刺穿了人口稠密的哈马斯城市据点。

以米斯拉夫·马特伊卡(Mislav Matejka)为首的摩根大通策略师表示,股市的这种反弹是不可持续的。 马特卡在给客户的一份报告中写道:“我们相信,到年底,股市很快就会恢复到没有吸引力的风险回报。另外” 摩根士丹利的迈克·威尔逊 (Mike Wilson)坚称,这只是又一次熊市反弹。 威尔逊在一份报告中表示:“虽然我们将保持开放的态度,但迄今为止,此举看起来更像是熊市反弹,而不是持续上涨的开始,特别是考虑到盈利修正和宏观数据的疲软。”

花旗集团 (#C) 正在考虑在几家主要业务部门裁员至少 10%。C下跌0.69%。  Dish Network (#DISH) 公布第三季度业绩弱于预期后,该公司股价下跌约 9%。特斯拉 (#TSLA) 股价上涨0.61%,有报道称计划在柏林工厂生产 25000 欧元的汽车。在工会压力下,特斯拉宣布柏林工厂加薪。

比特币已突破 35000 美元阻力位,目前交易价格在 35200 美元左右。 比特币的近期阻力位是 40000 美元。从技术上讲,它看起来不错,许多分析师预计到明年 4 月,比特币的水平会更高,届时挖矿率将减半,许多现货比特币 ETF 可能会获得批准而引来大量机构入市。

国债信托#TLT 下跌 0.83%,10 年期国债收益率 (#TNX) 回升至 4.646%。 美国各大股指上涨,但已从早盘高点回落。 连续6天上涨后,股市需要消化近期的大涨幅。指数回落一两天并不令人意外。 标准普尔 500 指数 (#SPX) 的初始支撑位是 50 日移动均线 4346 。一旦跌破该水平,更深层次的回调至 200 日移动均线 4250将是下一个支撑位。








Today's US Stock Market 11/06/2023

Israel began in earnest its dangerous push into Gaza City, piercing the densely populated urban Hamas stronghold with troops and armored vehicles after one of the most intense bombing campaigns of the monthlong war.

JP Morgan strategists led by Mislav Matejka says this stock market rally is not sustainable. " We believe that equities will soon revert back to an unattractive risk reward into year end" Matejka wrote in a note to clients. Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson insists this is just another bear market rally. "While we will keep an open mind, the move thus far looks more like a bear market rally rather than the start of a sustained upswing, particularly in light of weaker earnings revisions and macro data," Wilson said in a clinet note.

Citigroup (#C) is mulling job cuts of at least 10% in several major businesses.  C is down 0.69%. Dish Network (#DISH) shares fell about 9% after the company reported weaker than expected results for the third quarter. Tesla (#TSLA) adds 0.61% on report it plans to build 25,000 Euros car at its Belin plant. Tesla announces wage hikes at giga Berlin amid union pressure.

Bitcoin has broken out of the $35000 resistance and is trading at around $35200. Bitcoin's near term resistance is $40000. Technically it's looking good and many analysts are projecting much higher levels by April next year when mining rate will be halved and many spot Bitcoin ETFs likely approved. By then many institutions may be drawn into Bitcoin investment .

Treasury Trust #TLT is down 0.83% and 10 Year Treasury yield (#TNX) is back up to 4.646%. US stock indexes are up but have came back down from their morning highs. After being up 6 days in a row, the stock market need to digest its big gain. It won't be a surprise to see the indexes come back down a day or two. S&P 500 (#SPX)'s initial support is it s 50 day moving average at 4346. Once it drops below this level, a deeper correction back down to its 200 day moving average 4250 will be the next support.

How Block Chain Changes The Future Of The World

The global blockchain technology market size was estimated at USD 10.02 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 87.7% from 2023 to 2030. The escalating demand for secure and transparent transactions across many industries is driving the market growth. Following are what ChatGPT said about blockchain :

Blockchain technology has the potential to significantly impact various industries and aspects of the world in the future. While I (ChatGPT) can't predict the future with certainty, I can outline some ways in which blockchain could continue to shape the world:

Decentralized Finance (DeFi): Blockchain has already revolutionized the financial industry through the emergence of DeFi applications. DeFi platforms enable peer-to-peer lending, borrowing, trading, and yield farming without the need for traditional financial intermediaries like banks. In the future , DeFi could disrupt traditional banking and finance further, providing access to financial services for the unbanked and underbanked populations globally.

Supply Chain Management: Blockchain can enhance transparency and traceability in supply chains. By recording every step of a product's journey on a blockchain, consumers can have confidence in the authenticity and origin of the products they buy. This can help combat counterfeit goods, ensure food safety, and improve efficiency in logistics.

Voting and Governance: Blockchain can be used for secure and transparent voting systems. Implementing blockchain-based voting systems could reduce fraud and increase trust in democratic processes.
