    Early Morning Vibes: 4 Stocks We Like for Monday…

    The American stock markets could not be fired ahead last week. The results were limited and as you can see on the graph below, the S&P 500 continued to stabilize at around 3900 points. On Friday, the broad-based index closed 0.19% lower at 3,906 points and the Nasdaq was up 0.07% the day at 13,874 points.

    Investors are clearly waiting for new impulses but are also awaiting developments in the bond markets. Inflation expectations are increasing rapidly, and interest rates are also rising. The market now seems somewhat concerned that central banks will have to reduce the support measures or even raise interest rates sooner than expected. Finance minister Janet Yellen, however, said on Friday that governments must come up with a large package of support to revive economic growth.

    Currently, futures in New York are up to 1 percent lower. The European stock markets are also following the red figures. The decline again appears to be a direct result of rising interest rates. Furthermore, China yesterday asked the US to lift tariffs and other trade sanctions. China’s Foreign Minister continues to push for better US-China partnerships on technological progress. It remains to be seen how Joe Biden will react to the proposal, after his predecessor Trump just imposed strict measures.

    Meanwhile, Gold prices have been under pressure for several weeks, but on Friday even the support seemed to break at $ 1,764 (bottom November 30). However, the fear of rising interest rates is positive for gold and the price recovered. But watch out; higher interest rates are not good for gold, but the turmoil in the markets is. This morning, the gold price is at least 0.51% higher at $ 1792, but the danger is not over yet. The gold price is in a downward trend channel. A break above the last market stop at around $ 1,860 is necessary for technical improvement.

    Early Morning Vibes: Check Out These 4 hot Crypto Stocks Right Now

    On February 16, American stock exchanges finished trading in different directions. The S&P 500 index dropped by a symbolic 0.06%, to 3933 points, the NASDAQ lost 0.34%, and the Dow Jones added 0.20%. The news background remained calm, investors were waiting for President Biden’s speech on fiscal stimulus. The finance sector continued to rally and gained 1.77% on the back of higher Treasury yields. The energy sector rose 2.26% on the back of rising oil prices.

    Company news

    BorgWarner (BWA: + 4.3%) acquires 59% of German company Akasol to expand its vehicle electrification capabilities.

    Palantir Technologies (PLTR: -12.8%) unexpectedly posted negative EPS, although revenue exceeded consensus expectations.

    Chemicals manufacturer Ecolab (ECL: -4.1%) was below forecast. Management noted the negative effect of the COVID-19 factor.

    Today, global stock markets are showing mixed dynamics. Joe Biden made a speech on the fiscal stimulus package in Wisconsin the day before. The US President expressed his hope for a return to normal life by next Christmas and noted that by the end of July, the vaccines produced will be enough to vaccinate all Americans. The speech of the head of state did not contain new information on incentives, but he stressed the need to adopt a large anti-crisis program.

    Weather disasters in the form of extremely low temperatures, strong winds and snowfalls that have covered the southern and central states negatively affect production processes. For example, many automakers were forced to suspend the work of assembly lines. Such natural phenomena are of a short-term nature; therefore, they usually do not have a noticeable effect on the stock market. However, in the current environment, when the S&P 500 index is at a historic high, many positive factors have been taken into account in quotes, and a sharp rise in Treasury yields reduces the attractiveness of shares, any negative event can cause a desire to fix some positions. In this regard, a short-term correction looks more and more likely.

    The Freedom Finance Sentiment Index climbed to 78 out of 100. The index reflects market participants’ hope for a global economic recovery in 2021. Worries about the negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic are eased by the prospect of mass vaccinations.

    Technical picture

    Technically, the S&P 500 is still in an uptrend. Resistance near its upper boundary is still a significant obstacle. A breakthrough of resistance at 3950 points will mean an acceleration of the upward movement. On the eve of buyers tested this resistance, but could not overcome it. The RSI indicator is already close to the overbought level, so the upside potential in the short term is limited.

The passage of a bill on public spending in the amount of about $ 1.9 trillion threatens to accelerate inflation. Some experts warn about this, in particular, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers. Investors in the debt market are reacting to this risk, so the day before, the rate on 30-year Treasuries rose above 2% for the first time in a year. Rising bond rates could put pressure on the attractiveness of the stock market, primarily on growth stocks, of which tech companies are prime examples.

    The epidemiological situation in the United States continues to improve rapidly, despite the circulation of new strains of coronavirus. The number of hospitalized people dropped to 80 thousand, more than 10% of Americans have already received the first dose of the vaccine.
