    Early Morning Vibes: Don’t Miss On These 4 Growth Stocks

    On February 17, American stock exchanges closed in different directions. The S&P 500 index dropped by a purely symbolic 0.03%, to 3931 points, the NASDAQ lost 0.58%, and the Dow Jones added 0.29%. Retail sales rose sharply in January thanks to direct payments to the public, which supported the bullish sentiment. The market saw a capital flow from growth stocks to value stocks, which made the IT sector an outsider, losing 1.03%. The energy sector remained among the leaders and grew by 1.45% amid rising oil prices.

    Company news

    QuantumScape (QS: + 31.4%) announced a breakthrough in the development of next generation solid state batteries.

    Popular website builder Wix.com’s quarterly results (WIX: + 8.1%) exceeded expectations, as did the company’s forecasts for 2021.

    Shopify’s (SHOP: -3.3%) revenue and operating numbers were above consensus, but the stock is up more than 25% YTD, so investors have taken profits.

    Today, global stock exchanges are showing mostly negative dynamics. The published minutes of the FRS meeting, held on January 26-27, fully coincided with the expectations of investors. The meeting participants did not discuss the reduction of the asset purchase program, since macroeconomic indicators do not allow even considering such a possibility. The factor of ultra-soft monetary policy has been in the field of view of investors for a long time, so the degree of its influence is gradually decreasing.

    Note that positive data on retail sales in January (+ 5.3% mom) confirmed the effectiveness of fiscal stimulation by direct payments to the population. The stimulus package currently under discussion includes direct payments of $ 1,400, more than double the previous subsidy. In this regard, a similar increase in consumer spending can be expected in April and May.

    In the short term, a correction in the S&P 500 index is not ruled out, since a sharp rise in bond yields and the prospects for an early opening of the economy may lead to some capital outflow from the US tech sector. Cyclical sectors can look stronger than the market.

    The data on the issued building permits for January will be published today. A slight decrease is expected compared to the previous month, when the highest level in more than 10 years was recorded (forecast: 1.678 million, previous value: 1.704 million). The real estate market remains in excellent shape, so a slight slowdown in construction growth will only protect it from overheating.

    The Freedom Finance Sentiment Index remains at 78 out of 100. The indicator reflects the hope of market participants for a recovery in the global economy in 2021. Concerns about the negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic are gradually diminishing thanks to the prospects for mass vaccinations.

    Technically, the S&P 500 is still in an uptrend. The upper limit of this trend still limits the growth potential of the broad market index. On the eve of the “bulls” showed weakness, which, however, turned out to be short-lived. In the short term, a correction or consolidation is likely, as the RSI indicator is forming a bearish divergence near the overbought zone.
