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

On February 4, American stock indices closed in the green. The S&P 500 Index climbed 1.09% to 3872 points, reaching a new all-time high. Dow Jones rose 1.08%, NASDAQ – 1.23%. The news background remained mostly calm. High investor risk appetite may be associated with positive macroeconomic statistics. The finance sector was the top gainer, rallying 2.27% on the back of a rally in payments stocks following a PayPal report. The tech sector added 1.55% on positive performance in Apple shares.

Company news

PayPal (PYPL: + 7.4%) successfully reported for the fourth quarter amid a boom in online trading and an increase in cryptocurrency transactions.

Qualcomm’s revenue (QCOM: -8.8%) was in line with expectations, which did not allow the company to distinguish itself from the unexpectedly strong results of competitors.

EBay (EBAY: + 5.3%) results beat consensus due to explosive growth in eCommerce during the reporting period.

Today, global stock exchanges are showing positive dynamics. The optimism remains mainly related to the prospects for the adoption of the fiscal stimulus package. President Biden said yesterday that he was not ready to reduce the volume of direct payments to the population and insisted that they remain at $ 1400. Nevertheless, the head of the White House will probably consider the idea of limiting the circle of citizens who are entitled to subsidies. This item of the program is of increased interest due to the extremely high activity of private investors, which caused a wave of short squeezes last week. It is expected that part of the funds received from the state will be invested by the population in the stock market but estimates of the potential inflow of liquidity are still very different.

The focus of attention of market participants today will be focused on makrostatistiki. Strong data on the labor market is expected, which may serve as a fresh driver for the continuation of the upward movement. The companies’ quarterly reports continue to support risk appetite, with a positive initial investor reaction to the reports prevailing.

Sentiment Index

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

Technical picture

Technically, the S&P 500 is still in a medium-term uptrend. The day before, the broad market index reached a new high, which signals the continued activity of buyers. The short-term outlook will depend on whether the bulls can hold the S&P 500 above 3870 points. The next resistance is at 3900 points, where the upper trend line lies.

Early Morning Vibes: 4 Stocks We Like for Friday

On January 14, the American stock indices closed in the red. The S&P 500 index dropped 0.38% to 3796 points, the NASDAQ dropped 0.12%, the Dow Jones lost 0.22%. The weakening of optimism was due to macrostats. The number of initial applications for unemployment benefits for the week unexpectedly rose to the highest in five months. However, the flow of capital to small-cap stocks continued, with the Russel 2000 up 2.05%. The energy sector was again the leader of growth (+ 3.01%), while the IT sector was down 0.95% under the influence of weak performance in FAANG shares.

Corporate news

Delta Air Lines (DAL: + 2.5%) quarterly report was stronger than investors expected as revenue outperformed forecast.

BlackRock (BLK: -4.7%) posted better-than-expected revenue and bottom line, but capital inflows to funds were weak.

Semiconductor manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM: + 6.1%) raised its forecast for average revenue growth over the next five years to 10-15% from 5-10%. TSM’s quarterly report was overall better than forecast.

Global stock markets are showing mixed dynamics. President-elect Joe Biden has unveiled a $ 1.9 trillion bailout package that will be funded by increasing government debt. The bulk of this amount will go to help households, including through direct payments to Americans in the amount of $ 1400. About $ 400 billion is expected to be allocated to fight the virus and a vaccination campaign. In February, Biden will unveil an addendum to the announced plan that will include infrastructure costs. However, investors were not too encouraged by this: S&P 500 futures are showing a slight decline. This is partly due to the fact that the presented program almost coincided with the expectations of market participants, who, at the same time, would like to hear more details about infrastructure costs.

The scale of monetary stimulus, most likely, will not start to decrease soon. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell reiterated yesterday that rates will not be raised for a long time. The first hike is still expected in 2023. Powell noted that the Fed will start signaling plans to scale back its asset purchase program in advance.

December retail sales data will be released today. A decrease of 0.2% m / m is expected after falling by 1.1% in November, which is associated with the preservation of a number of quarantine measures in the United States, restricting, in particular, the work of the catering sector. The data for January should reflect the effect of direct payments to the population at the end of December.

JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM) will report for the past quarter today. Earnings per share, according to general market expectations, should increase by 3.89% YoY to $ 2.67, and the bank’s non-interest segment revenue will increase by about 20% yoy. This rapid growth will be driven by increased operational activity in investment banking and trading. The bank’s net interest margin is forecast to plateau in the third quarter, so a trend reversal is likely in the fourth quarter report on the back of rising 10-year US government bond yields.

Sentiment Index

Sentiment Index from Freedom Finance unchanged at around 58 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 diminishing thanks to the prospect of mass vaccinations.

Technical picture

Technically, the S&P 500 is still prone to short-term consolidation. During yesterday’s session, the broad market index tested its maximum and corrected. There is a risk of formation of a “double top” pattern, which will be conducive to correction. The RSI indicator remains close to the overbought zone, which limits the growth prospects.

Mixed patterns are visible in global capital markets. The news would not carry new activity motors, investors wait to see until the beginning of the quarterly reporting season. President-elect Joe Biden today will deliver a $2 trillion rescue plan. There is also some insecurity regarding the proposals to boost the economy, such that the emergence of information raises market instability which may increase investor confidence.

The Freedom Finance Sentiment Index remained stable at about 58 out of 100. The measure represents market participants’ hope that the global economy will rebound in 2021. The possibility of widespread vaccination alleviates anxiety about the detrimental consequences of the coronavirus pandemic.

Technical picture

Technically, the S&P 500 is still prone to short-term consolidation, during yesterday’s session the situation has not changed. Buyers are showing strength, but the RSI remains close to the overbought zone, limiting growth prospects for now. In addition, in the area of 3825-3830 points, there is a strong resistance in the form of the upper border of the equidistant channel, which the broad market index needs to overcome to continue the upward movement.
