European indices are outperforming U.S. ones this year, with several of them clearly above their previous all-time highs and pushing toward new records. Possible reasons include a geographic rotation by large institutional investors, who are pulling capital out of the fatigued overseas technology trade and reallocating it to the Old Continent; a more accommodative monetary […]
USDCNH Weakens After PBoC Decision
On the night of Tuesday, February 24, 2026, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) held its policy meeting. Although this event is typically less monitored by retail brokers, it remains highly relevant for macro positioning. The central bank left the one-year Loan Prime Rate (LPR) unchanged at 3.00%—its primary policy benchmark—and maintained the five-year LPR […]
NVIDIA Report Earnings After the Closing Bell
Yesterday’s session, ahead of the highly anticipated earnings release from NVIDIA—as is often the case, among the last of the mega-cap names to report this season—was characterized by a solid rebound, finally led by the Technology sector. Major U.S. equity indices advanced between +0.7% and +1.1%. Overnight, both South Korea and Taiwan equity indices—widely regarded […]
AUDUSD Extends Decline After 0.7150 Rejection
Despite some unimpressive macro data, the USD continues its slow and gradual strengthening after the collapse of the last 10 days of January—a move that has now been ongoing for 21 sessions. No one will have missed the poor print of the Q4 GDP Growth Rate, which came in at just +1.4%, down from the […]
JPM in Focus as Private Credit Fears Rise
It was another negative day, albeit only slightly so on Wall Street, but this time the “novelty” was that the most heavily sold sector was not technology, but financials. With a daily performance of -0.84%, financials saw greater selling pressure than consumer sectors (Discretionary -0.67%, Staples -0.42%), dragging down primarily the DJ30, which was the […]
WTI Reclaims $65 on Middle East Tensions
A few weeks ago, at the beginning of January, when crude oil was finally rebounding from the $57.5–$60 area, we highlighted the importance of the $66 level—a threshold that had acted as a floor since 2022 and had been broken to the downside only last April. Admittedly, according to OPEC and EIA data, the world […]
EURGBP Weak Macroeconomic Data
A few minutes before the release of a new set of UK price data—covering consumer, producer, and retail figures—virtually every macroeconomic indicator published in the United Kingdom over the past two weeks has pointed to a stagnating economy and strongly argues in favor of a rate cut at the next Bank of England meeting. The […]
US500 Slips Below Key 6,830 Support
It has not been a good month so far for the US500 (S&P 500), and we are only on February 17. The index’s month-to-date performance currently stands at -1.48%, which has also pushed the year-to-date return into negative territory (-0.33% as of last Friday’s close at 6,836). This morning, following yesterday’s market holiday, the index […]
Cocoa Prices Slide on Supply–Demand Imbalance
Today is a public holiday in both the United States and Canada, and markets in China will remain closed for the entire week. The macroeconomic calendar is light, aside from the already released and disappointing Japanese GDP data. More broadly, markets are reopening in a subdued and lethargic tone following the weekend. Against this backdrop, […]
US30 Pulls Back from All-Time Highs
There was a time—not long ago—when the digital economy was far less developed, and any competent market analyst could not ignore a particular index: the Dow Jones Transportation Average. This index is effectively the sibling of the US30, more properly known in full as the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The underlying concept is straightforward: to […]
