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

    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.

  • Early Morning Vibes: 4 Top Trending Stocks To Watch For Monday

    Early Morning Vibes: 4 Top Trending Stocks To Watch For Monday

    Last week indices in the United States managed to set fresh records on the price boards. Interestingly, we saw Wall Street indices initially take a dip on Friday. This dip came after the US government announced that employment declined in December. Contrary to expectations, the number of jobs fell by 140,000, while economists had expected an increase of about 50,000 jobs. The question is whether this has halted the recovery of the labor market or whether this effect is temporary due to stricter corona measures.

    In response to the bad jobs report, upcoming president Joe Biden announced that he would come up with additional stimulus measures to get the US economy through the corona crisis. The stock markets recovered towards the close and eventually, the indices closed at the highest point of the day. The S&P 500 closed with a gain of 0.55% at 3,824 points and the Nasdaq gained 1.03% at 13,202 points.
