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

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

    On February 2, the American stock indexes finished trading in the green zone. The S&P 500 climbed 1.39% to 3826 points, the Dow Jones rose 1.57% and the NASDAQ rose 1.56%. The news background did not contain new drivers of movement, but risk appetite was increased due to the decrease in fears of an overbought market. All 11 sectors closed in positive territory. The finance sector-led growth with 2.46%, driven by a rebound in Treasury yields.

    Company news

    Uber (UBER: + 7%) today announced it has acquired the liquor delivery service Drizly for $1.1 billion in company stock and cash.

    Pfizer’s revenue (PFE: -2.3%) beat expectations, although EPS was weaker than consensus. The 2021 revenue forecast assumes strong sales of coronavirus vaccines.

    Results of oil giant BP (BP: -6.6%) were worse than expected in various segments, dividends were reduced by 50%.

    Today, world stock exchanges are showing mostly positive dynamics. The fight against the coronavirus remains in focus and the news on this front is mostly positive. The attention of international investors was attracted by the results of tests of the Russian vaccine Sputnik V, which revealed its high efficiency. In addition, the University of Oxford has published encouraging research results that indicate that the AstraZeneca vaccine not only prevents coronavirus disease but also reduces its spread by two-thirds. This is the first study to document that vaccine proliferation will lead to a rapid decline in disease incidence. In the United States, more than 7% of the population has already received the first dose of the vaccine, and the daily incidence of COVID-19 has rolled back to November levels.

    Quarterly results were published by 43% of companies in the S&P 500. At present, aggregate net income for the fourth quarter is expected to show growth YoY, while in October it was forecast to decline by 13% YoY. This signals that companies’ financials are showing an unexpectedly fast recovery. However, the optimistic expectations have already been partially taken into account in the quotes, as evidenced by the increase in the S&P 500 by 17% over the past three months.

    Sentiment Index

    The Freedom Finance Sentiment Index remains at 68 out of 100. The indicator reflects market participants’ hope for a global economic recovery in 2021. Concerns about the negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic are slowly diminishing with the prospect of mass vaccinations.

    Technical picture

    Technically, the S&P 500 is still bullish in the medium term. The broader market index has continued to rebound from the 50-day moving average, but the strength of this impulse is fading. In the short term, consolidation is likely, as the RSI indicator is in the neutral zone and indicates the equality of forces between the bulls and bears, while the MACD indicator remains in negative territory.

    15 Trending Stocks in Oil and Gas Industry

    As California reinforced its pandemic shutdown during Christmas and COVID-19 cases rose in the United States and Europe on Tuesday, counteracting hope emerging about vaccine developments, Oil pushed lower on Tuesday. Oil prices were buoyed briefly after Britain got the world’s first wholly tested COVID-19 vaccine injection, but investors soon returned to ebbing fuel demand from the pandemic.

Usually, high trust in global economic recovery is considered to carry weakness in the U.S. dollar, which has dropped by about 12 percent against a basket of top currencies since it peaked in March of this year due to ‘flight to protection.’ It’s also supposed to bolster U.S. export demand.
