  • Early Morning Vibes: 4 Top Movers To Watch For Weekend

    Early Morning Vibes: 4 Top Movers To Watch For Weekend

    Investors remain concerned about the situation in the bond markets. Last week, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell was able to calm the markets somewhat, but yesterday his speech went down the wrong way with investors. During his speech, he indicated that the bond market situation has his attention, but he saw no reason to intervene yet.

    Powell also said it is very likely that inflation will rise further as the economy recovers, but he thinks this will only be a temporary effect. Without sustained inflation coupled with a return to full employment, the central bank is unlikely to hike interest rates. His thoughts combined with the lack of measures led to rising interest rates again.

    At the same time, this was again enough reason for investors to hit the sell buttons. Technology was again the bitten dog, the Nasdaq closed 2.11% lower at 12,723 points. The S&P 500 did less badly with a loss of 1.34% to 3,768 points. The same shares as Wednesday were sold off again. For example, we saw Baidu again lose more than 6.2% and Tesla also fell by 4.86%.

    The Nasdaq has fallen below 13,000 points with all the violence through the support surface. The technology fair is now in the red for the current year. In Thursday’s Morning Call I already indicated that the breakthrough of the neckline of the head & shoulder pattern has a price target of approximately 12,000 points.
