    Today’s Morning Alert: Top Movers, Analyst Ratings & Important Earnings

    On March 8, American stock exchanges finished trading mostly in the red zone. The S&P 500 index fell 0.54% to 3821 points, the Dow Jones added 0.97%, the NASDAQ lost 2.41%. The outsiders were the IT sector (-2.46%) and the communications sector (-1.47%). The “value” stocks continued to outperform the market: the finance, industrial, and raw materials sectors stood out. Treasury yield rises to 1.60%.

    Company News

    GameStop Corp. (GME: + 41.2%) announced the formation of a strategic commission as part of a business model change taking into account new technologies.

    McAfee (MCFE: + 12.7%) will sell corporate business to Symphony Technology Group to focus on consumer cybersecurity.

    Diversified corporation General Electric (GE: + 4.2%) announced that the company is close to a deal to sell a non-core aircraft leasing asset to the Irish group AerCap. The transaction value is more than $ 30 million. 

    Today, global stock markets are showing mixed dynamics. During this day, the focus of attention of investors will be directed to the vote of the House of Representatives on the stimulus package approved earlier by the Senate in the amount of $ 1.9 trillion. Markets are confident that the stimulus package will also be approved by the lower house of the US Congress. Earlier, President Joe Biden said that Americans will be able to receive payments under the program as early as this month.

    Despite the fact that Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and FOMC member Lael Brainard noted that further rate hikes could lead to a slowdown on the way to achieving the Fed’s goals, so far this risk remains moderate. Although the approval of the stimulus package has caused a lot of attacks in connection with the current dynamics of bond rates, however, representatives of the regulator do not express much concern about this trend. Janet Yellen noted that the economy will return to full employment in 2022. Speaking about the stimulus package, the US Treasury Secretary said she did not expect the economy to overheat amid injections of additional capital into the stock market.

    The Freedom Finance Sentiment Index remained at 78 out of 100. The indicator reflects the hope of market participants for a recovery in the global economy in 2021. Concerns about a new wave of the pandemic are balanced by the growing pace of vaccinations.

  • 15 Hot Stocks for Friday in Oil & Gas Industry

    Oil in London has risen above $50 a barrel for the first time since the pandemic brought the global economy to a halt in a remarkable rally that few predicted would soon happen.

In the wake of strong purchases by China’s private refiners, Asia appears to lead the physical demand turnaround.
