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: 4 Trending Stocks To Watch Right Now

On February 12, American stock markets closed in the green. The S&P 500 Index climbed 0.47% to 3935 points, the NASDAQ rose 0.50%, and the Dow Jones added a symbolic 0.09%. Prospects for the adoption of another fiscal stimulus program in the States continued to support quotations. The healthcare sector outperformed the market, climbing 0.75% on a positive Illumina report. The finance sector grew 0.95% on the back of rising Treasury yields.

Company news

Illumina (ILMN: + 11.9%) quarterly results exceeded expectations on strong demand for DNA instruments.

PayPal (PYPL: + 4.7%) expects to double the number of users of the payment system by 2025 from its current 377 million, tripling the volume of transactions.

HubSpot (HUBS: + 16.4%), a cloud-based marketing and sales solutions provider, delivered strong reporting on the digitalization trend in small and medium-sized businesses.

Today, global stock markets are showing mixed dynamics. The news background remains quite calm. Market participants’ optimism is boosted by the improved epidemiological situation in Europe and the USA, accelerated vaccination, and the prospects for fiscal stimulus. The seven-day average number of coronavirus cases in the United States for the first time since November fell below 100 thousand, and the number of hospitalized people fell from 80 thousand to 65 thousand in just a week. The situation is improving in all 50 states. Pessimists expect new outbreaks of disease due to the spread of virus mutations, however, if the current positive trends continue, the anticoid restrictions will begin to be lifted everywhere pretty soon.

Joe Biden plans to make his first trip outside Washington as president today. He will deliver a speech in Wisconsin on the fiscal stimulus package. The president is also expected to speak out on the pandemic and its impact on the US economy. The purpose of the speech is ultimately to speed up the negotiating process in Congress. No new information is expected, but the broadcast of the president’s speech may have a positive effect on the sentiment of private investors, whose share in trade turnover continues to increase.

The Freedom Finance Sentiment Index climbed to 71 out of 100. The indicator reflects market participants’ hope for a global economic recovery in 2021. Worries about the negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic continue to ease thanks to the prospect of mass vaccinations.

Technically, the S&P 500 remains in an uptrend. Resistance at its upper boundary is still a significant obstacle. A breakthrough of this resistance at 3950 points will mean an acceleration of growth. However, the RSI indicator is already close to the overbought level, so the positive potential in the short-term is limited.
