Stock Market Weekly update -Dec 14

 The S&P500 & Nasdaq were lower on the week, while the DOW & Small-caps were higher! Rotation?  Gold & Silver were also higher, Oil was lower, the Dollar was lower, and 10yr Interest rates were higher, even as the Fed lowered short-term rates last week.. Bitcoin was flat after brief rallies. ORCL dumped lower for yet another week after reporting earnings. AVGO also dropped.

Next week's Inflation and Job reports could move the markets again, and possibly the BOJ interest rate announcement. Possibly we'll see all time highs on the S&P?


The week ahead:   

CPI, Jobs, Retail sales, etc

Stock Market Weekly update -Apr 20

Image
  We saw lots of ‘chop’ last week, ending just below where we started, with tariff uncertainty still hanging over the market. The DOW lagged as it dumped on Thursday after UNH reported earnings. Long term rates pulled back a bit while Gold continued to rocket higher, closing near $3326. This week we get more earnings including GOOGL & TSLA,  04/06:  Hedging against losses… How? If you got ahead of the tariff announcement on Monday Mar 31st using an Inverse ETF like SQQQ (SPXS, SOXS, etc) , it was up approximately 30% that week! Note that Leveraged ETFs should only be used for short term trading. This week:   Schwab Weekly Trader's Outlook Edward Jones recap More earnings  This week: 3red week of earnings reports.  The market is still very volatile so caution is advised.

Small-caps dropped for the week.  AMZN, GOOGL, & CAT popped after earnings, MSFT, META, CMG, & BA dropped. The Fed cut interest rates by .25% as expected.  Gold dropped for a 2nd week.  No Jobs report next week as the government shutdown continues.   Mega Caps Daily chart  -Uptrend -Downtrend Crypto AAPL NVDA TSM GOOGL TSLA AVGO  AMZN?
