    Early Morning Vibes: 4 Top Trending Stocks To Watch Right Now

    The American stock market finished trading with a slight loss on January 26. By the end of the session, the S & P 500 index dropped by 0.15% to 3850 points. NASDAQ and Dow Jones were down 0.07%. The news background stayed mostly calm, so the market showed weak dynamics. The energy sector fell 2.12% despite stable oil prices. The real estate sector became the leader in growth with a result of + 1.14% thanks to the continued favorable macroeconomic conditions in the housing market.

    Company news

    President Biden plans to transfer American officials to American-made electric cars. Against this background, shares of Workhorse (WKHS: + 30.2%), Lordstown (RIDE: + 14%), Nikola (NKLA: + 23.6%) and others rose.

    Beyond Meat (BYND: + 17.7%) has partnered with PepsiCo (PEP: + 1.2%) to co-manufacture and market plant-based meat substitute products.

    Johnson & Johnson (JNJ: + 2.7%) quarterly report better than expected. The company also announced that the test results for its vaccine will be released in early February.

    There are various dynamics in the global stock markets today. Pfizer and Moderna have both agreed to sell the US government 100 million additional doses of vaccine. Considering this order, the total volume of purchases will amount to 600 million. Over 300 million people can be vaccinated against coronavirus with just that amount. The number of hospitalized with COVID-19 in the United States fell to 108 thousand, which is in line with mid-December levels. The morbidity trend on a daily basis is on the decline. This allows the states to slowly remove barriers, which support investor confidence.

    The companies’ quarterly results and market reactions to them are still mixed. However, Microsoft’s report was strong, so the tech sector has the potential to become a growth engine for the broader market today.

    Economic news

    December durable goods base order data will be released this Wednesday. After increasing by 0.4% a month earlier, the indicator is expected to grow by 0.5% against the value in November. Note that basic orders do not include vehicles (cars, airplanes, etc.), and it is this group of products that may show the weakest dynamics against the background of continuing problems with orders from Boeing.

    Technical picture

    Technical analysis suggests that there is an upward tendency in the medium term for the S&P 500. The broad market index reached a new all-time high yesterday, but met selling pressure and failed to gain a foothold above 3860 points. The upper border of the equidistant channel in the area of ​​3865-3870 points is still a serious resistance. After a short-term consolidation, the upward movement is likely to continue.

    Today, foreign financial markets show mixed trends. The background of the news is quiet. Current activities in the United States linked to Donald Trump’s potential arrest had little impact on the movement of quotes as they does not conflict with the vaccine programme. The administration of Trump has meanwhile revealed reforms to promote the vaccine process. The key point of these improvements was that the second dose vaccine was spread rather than stored for two weeks. The list of people who will get the coronavirus vaccine has risen and there will be a substantial rise in the number of vaccination stations. The financial group is currently less concerned with morbidity and hospitalization rates. On 6 January the last maximum number of people injured was 132,5 thousand.

    Investors took a wait-and-see stance before big developments on Thursday and Friday.

Consolidation is most likely in this regard during the current session.

    Economic news

    The December Core CPI will be published today. In November, the growth of the indicator is forecast to decline from 0.2% to 0.1% m/m. Despite substantial monetary and fiscal stimuli, inflationary pressures are expected to stay subdued in the short term. The second half of this year is expected to see a steady acceleration of inflation. The Sentiment Index of Freedom Finance plummeted to 58 out of 100. The measure represents the belief of industry players that the global economy will rebound in 2021. The possibility of mass vaccines alleviates fears over the harmful consequences of the coronavirus pandemic.

    Technical picture

    The S&P 500 is technically vulnerable to short-term consolidation. The day before, there was no effort to establish a correctional movement: buyers were solid. However, the RSI indicator remains close to the overbought zone, which still limits the growth prospects. Besides, in the area of ​​3825-3830 points, there is strong resistance in the form of the upper border of the equidistant channel. If a corrective movement develops, the first significant target for the S & P500 will be the level of 3700 points.

    Early Morning Vibes: 4 Stocks We Like for Thursday

    These are turbulent times in America. Trump supporters swept into the Capitol, the seat of Washington’s representatives. Things got so bad in the capital of the United States that Donald Trump’s social media accounts were suspended by Twitter and Facebook. In an initial reaction, the American indices fell. But these seem to have recovered significantly this morning. The reason for the event is a possible blue wave as the Democrats seem to be bringing in the Senate. In this way Biden will be able to fulfill much more of his political agenda. Deutsche Bank has already announced that they expect additional stimulus from this victory. The German bank expects that the additional support package for the coming year could be between $ 750 billion and $ 1 trillion. Good for US equities, bad for the value of the US dollar.

    Trading on December 31 at the American stock markets ended in the green zone. The S&P 500 index climbed 0.64% to 3756 points, the Dow Jones rose 0.65%, the NASDAQ added 0.14%.

    Today, global stock markets are showing positive dynamics on the first trading day of 2021. The news background remains calm, but market participants continue to bet on the recovery of the global economy this year thanks to effective vaccines and a fast vaccination process.

    However, while the vaccination campaign in the States is not so successful: as of January 2, only 4.2 million Americans received the first (of two) dose of the vaccine, although it was previously planned to reach the goal of 20 million. The head of the Operation Warp Speed organization suggested increasing the vaccination rate by halving Moderna’s vaccine dose for certain populations, negotiations are underway with the FDA regulator and company representatives. It is important to note that investors do not yet appear to be concerned about the slow pace of vaccinations.

    In Europe, there is still no desire from the authorities to soften coronavirus restrictions. Stricter measures can be taken in the UK. In general, after the holidays, a global increase in diseases and an increase in the burden on the health care system can be expected, but investors are optimistic and look at this as the peak of the fight against coronavirus, after which the burden on healthcare workers will begin to decrease and state borders will open.

    In the United States, an attempt to increase direct payments to the public from $ 600 to $ 2,000 was unsuccessful. Also over the weekend, attention was drawn to the delisting of Chinese telecom companies from American exchanges, which was a consequence of Donald Trump’s decree.

    Technical analysis

    Technically, the S&P 500 is prone to an upward movement. A new historical maximum was reached the day before. Buyers continue to demonstrate relative strength. At the same time, the RSI indicator is close to the overbought zone, so there is a risk of correction. To stay in an uptrend, the S&P 500 needs to hold above the 3640 level.
