  • Early Morning Vibes: 4 Hot Stocks You Might Consider For Thursday

    Early Morning Vibes: 4 Hot Stocks You Might Consider For Thursday

    The American stock markets plummeted again yesterday. The S&P 500 fell 1.31% and the Nasdaq even lost 2.70% and closed at 12,997 points.  On balance, it is not too bad, because the Nasdaq is still stabilizing just above the support zone at 12,985 points. However, it is increasingly likely that this support will break. A small head & shoulder pattern appears to have formed on the graph. If the neckline / support line is broken, we get a technical price target of approximately 12,000 points. So there seems to be even more decline in the pipeline.

    Just like the past few weeks, tech was again the most bitten dog. The turmoil in the bond markets continues to affect the equity market. The fee on 10-year US Treasury notes increased 6 basis points to 1.46%. Because technology stocks are relatively expensive, they are particularly affected. A higher interest rate usually results in lower profit expectations. Individual losses rose sharply. Amazon lost more than 3%, Netflix fell by more than 5% and Baidu even saw 9.23% of stock market value evaporate. Remarkably, there was still room for speculation; GameStop was raised 5% and Uber was also up 2.67%.

    Investors were also not satisfied with the job report that pay slip processor ADP published. The figures showed that only 117,000 new jobs were created in the month of February. Analysts had anticipated an increase of 175,000 jobs. This may indicate that the recovery of the US labor market is slower than expected. On Friday, the US government will release the official figures.
