Resolve Posted May 31 Author Share Posted May 31 NIO Shares Surged Over 9% on Sales Growth Expectations As evidenced by the NIO stock price chart, yesterday's trading closed at $4.93, while today the NIO share price is around $5.40, indicating an increase of over 9%. According to MarketWatch, the rise is driven by expectations that the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer's deliveries are likely to reach record levels. The existing record was set in July last year when the company achieved monthly sales of 20,462 cars. However, analysts believe this result could be surpassed in May this year due to ongoing discounts on new cars and batteries. The daily chart of NIO shares today shows that the price is in a long-term downtrend (indicated by the red trend channel) due to the global decline in demand for electric vehicles. However, there are fundamental reasons to expect that the downward trend will be broken: → China is intensifying its efforts to develop electric vehicles – the State Council has presented an action plan for decarbonisation. → This month, the International Monetary Fund raised its forecast for China's economic growth in 2024 from 4.6% to 5%.

Resolve Posted May 31 Author Share Posted May 31 USD/CHF Rate Falls Over 1% After SNB Chief's Statements As evidenced by the USD/CHF chart, yesterday one US dollar was worth 0.913 Swiss francs, but today it is already 0.903, indicating a rate drop of approximately 1%. According to MT Newswires, the franc's strengthening is attributed to statements by Swiss National Bank (SNB) President Thomas Jordan. In his view, an overly weak franc is the most likely source of higher inflation in Switzerland. Notably, since the beginning of 2024, the Swiss franc has weakened against the US dollar by more than 7%, one of the worst performances among G10 currencies. The exchange rate has formed an ascending trend channel (indicated in blue).

Resolve Posted June 3 Author Share Posted June 3 WTI Oil Price Unchanged After OPEC+ Meeting The OPEC+ meeting over the weekend did not have a substantial impact on the price of crude oil. As the chart shows, WTI oil opened today at $76.72 per barrel, while on Friday it closed at $76.57 – indicating that the decision made by oil producers is ambiguous. The bullish argument is that restrictions on oil production to maintain its price will continue. According to Reuters, on Sunday, OPEC+ members agreed to extend the production cuts of 3.66 million barrels per day until the end of 2025. The bearish argument is that eight OPEC+ countries have already signalled plans to gradually phase out voluntary cuts of 2.2 million barrels per day from October 2024 to September 2025. Goldman Sachs analysts overall assessed the results of the meeting as more bearish for the market. "The communication of a gradual unwind reflects a strong desire to bring back production of several members given high spare capacity," they wrote. The WTI crude oil chart shows that the market is breaking the upward trend (shown in blue), which we mentioned in our review on 10 May. Since then, bulls attempted to resume the upward trend, but this only resulted in a false breakout of the psychological level of $80 per barrel on 29 May (indicated by an arrow). Afterwards, bears regained control and sharply pushed the price below the lower boundary of the blue upward channel, making the downward channel (shown in red), which began in April, more relevant.

Resolve Posted June 3 Author Share Posted June 3 MSFT Shares Surge on Record Yearly Volumes On Friday, 31 May, almost 48 million Microsoft shares were traded on the NASDAQ – the highest number since the start of 2024. Meanwhile, the MSFT price chart formed a “hammer” candle: → trading opened at $416.75 per MSFT share; → mid-session, the price dropped below $406; → however, by the end of trading, the price had recovered to $415.13. Fundamentally, it is difficult to pinpoint a single piece of news that served as the bullish driver. According to Barron's, a significant incentive for investing in MSFT shares should be considered the prospect of high dividend payouts.

Resolve Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 AUD/USD Analysis: US Dollar Rebounds from Decline Yesterday, the PMI Manufacturing indices for several countries were published. The news turned out to be disappointing for the US - according to ForexFactory: → Final Manufacturing PMI: actual = 51.3; expected = 50.9; previous value = 50.9; → ISM Manufacturing PMI: actual = 48.7; expected = 49.8; previous value = 49.2; This led to a weakening of the US dollar yesterday, as the not-so-strong manufacturing activity data, as reported by Trading Economics, supported arguments in favor of the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates. As a result, currencies of other countries strengthened against the dollar, notably the AUD/USD exchange rate rose above 0.669 - the highest level in 2 weeks. However, today the US Dollar is rebounding from yesterday's decline - and this is more clearly visible on the AUD/USD chart, indicating potential internal weakness for the Australian dollar.

Resolve Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 European Currencies on Track to Yearly Highs The first summer month saw a sharp rise in European and commodity currencies against the dollar. For instance, the pound/dollar is heading towards 1.2850, while the euro/dollar is set to test a significant resistance level at 1.0960. The surge in volatility at the beginning of the week was made possible thanks to the following events: Yesterday at 17.00 (GMT +3:00) the release of the ISM Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for the US (48.7 versus a forecast of 49.8); Yesterday at 17.00 (GMT +3:00) the publication of the ISM Manufacturing Prices Index for the US (57.0 versus a forecast of 60.0). EUR/USD Technical analysis of the eur/usd pair indicates the possibility of further growth towards 1.1100-1.1000, provided that the 1.0900 mark remains a support level. In case of a break below the mentioned support, a test of 1.0880-1.0850 may be possible. The following news releases may impact the pair's movement: Today at 10.20 (GMT +3:00) speech by ECB Governing Council member Eduardo Fernandez-Bollo; Today at 10.55 (GMT +3:00) release of the unemployment rate in Germany for May.

Resolve Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 Analysis of PFE Price: Is the Stock Undervalued? Yesterday, the price of Pfizer's stock rose by more than 2.2%, while the S&P 500 index remained almost unchanged from the opening to the closing of trading. This fact is noteworthy, considering that for many months the price of PFE stock performed worse than the market - if the S&P 500 grew by 23% during 2023, then the price of PFE decreased by approximately 43%. The decline in 2023 (shown by the red channel) was disappointing. But what about now - is the situation changing? Are investors missing out on something important by turning away from PFE? Several factors indicate that PFE stock may have optimistic prospects. Fundamentally - Investors Place has included PFE in the list of the most undervalued stocks for reasons such as: → 2023 saw a record number of FDA approvals. New drugs could boost sales. → Pfizer acquired Seagen, significantly expanding its capabilities in cancer research. This supports the company's strategy to become a world-class leader in oncology. → By 2030, Pfizer plans to release 8 drugs that could become "blockbusters."

Resolve Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 S&P 500 Index: Latest Analysts’ Forecasts Over the three spring months, the S&P 500 (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) rose by 3.5% – not the worst result, but it might be disappointing considering that in the first two months of the year the index increased by 7.8%. This trend suggests that: → the rally driven by interest in AI is slowing down; → stock market participants are concerned that Fed rates will remain high. What could be the scenarios for future developments until the end of the year and beyond? The media publish fresh forecasts on the S&P 500 (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) price from Wall Street analysts: → MarketWatch: Analysts at JP Morgan believe that the growth potential is exhausted and the market may “hit a wall” preventing further growth. They maintain a forecast that the index value at the end of 2024 will be 4200 points. → MarketWatch: Experts at Wells Fargo think it would be too optimistic to expect stocks to reach new record highs ahead of the US elections in November; however, further growth related to the election results looks likely in 2025. They estimate the index could reach a record 5700 points by the end of next year. → BusinessInsider: According to Capital Economics, the index could rise if Treasury yields fall and the momentum from AI adoption remains strong. Their forecast is 6500 points by the end of 2025, followed by a sharp correction in 2026.

Resolve Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 Is ADBE Stock Undervalued? The stock chart for Adobe Systems shows that on May 31, 2024, the price fell below $440 – for the first time since June 2023. This drop was partly due to increased competition from Canva, which released updated tools. However, in early June, the decline did not continue, suggesting that ADBE stock is consolidating around a multi-month low. Since the beginning of the year, ADBE has decreased by approximately 23%, while the NASDAQ index (US Tech 100 mini on FXOpen) has increased by more than 12%. Is this indicative of serious problems for the company or is the stock undervalued? A significant amount of information will come from Adobe Systems' earnings report, which will be released on June 13, 2024. According to Yahoo Finance. The company's earnings per share are forecasted to be $4.38, representing a 12.02% increase compared to the same quarter last year. Revenue is forecasted at $5.28 billion, a 9.65% increase compared to the same quarter last year. It is noteworthy that since December 2018, Adobe has consistently exceeded expectations (though this has not always led to a rise in the stock price). According to TipRanks, the average price target for ADBE stock is $624.83 over the next 12 months, indicating a potential upside of +39.36% from current levels – suggesting that most analysts do not believe the company has deep internal issues, as otherwise they would not be forecasting such price growth.

Resolve Posted June 6 Author Share Posted June 6 The Price of Silver Is Acting Weaker Than Gold According to Reuters, precious metal prices have risen in the past 1-2 days as Treasury yields have fallen, enhancing metals' appeal as a "safe haven" for investor portfolios. Currently: → Expectations are growing that US interest rate cuts may begin as early as September; → Market participants are focusing on non-farm employment data and other US market data, set to be released on Friday at 15:30 GMT+3. In this context, it is notable that the gold market is clearly stronger than silver. The XAU/USD chart shows that the price of gold today rose above $2370 per ounce, a high not seen since 23 May, more than 10 days ago. Meanwhile, the price of silver experienced a decline of over 8% from 29 May to 4 June. Today’s rise appears to be an attempt by bulls to offset this bearish momentum, during which the price of gold remained stable.

Resolve Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 EUR/USD Analysis: ECB Cuts Interest Rate for First Time Since 2019 By its decision, the ECB followed the example of the Bank of Canada, which lowered interest rates by 0.25%, as we reported yesterday. Consequently, this trend might continue with the Federal Reserve, marking the development of easing monetary policy cycles in Western economies. According to ForexFactory: → the interest rate had been at 4.50% since September 2023; → it was reduced to 4.25%; → the reduction was accurately predicted by experts. According to CNBC: → the ECB forecasts inflation at 2.5% in 2024 and 2.2% in 2025; →"Based on an updated assessment of the inflation outlook, the dynamics of underlying inflation and the strength of monetary policy transmission, it is now appropriate to moderate the degree of monetary policy restriction after nine months of holding rates steady," stated the ECB Governing Council. Given that the rate cut was anticipated, the EUR/USD rate hasn't changed significantly today, despite a noticeable spike in volatility. Analysing the EUR/USD chart on 30 May, we highlighted the importance of the 1.08 level. Since then, the bulls have shown the ability to bounce off this level and rise to 1.09.

Resolve Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 Analytical NVIDIA Stock Forecast for 2024, 2025 – 2030, and Beyond NVIDIA's stock has seen remarkable growth, driven by advancements in AI, data centres, and emerging technologies. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of NVIDIA’s stock outlook for 2024, 2025, and the next decade. Join us as we explore detailed insights into the company’s financial performance, strategic initiatives, and potential in new markets like autonomous driving and the Internet of Things (IoT). NVIDIA’s Recent Price History NVIDIA Corporation, founded in 1993, went public in 1999 with an initial share price of $12. Note that, adjusted for the multiple splits NVDA has undergone, this is equivalent to $0.4375—we’ll refer to the split-adjusted price from here. The company quickly made a name for itself in the graphics processing unit (GPU) market, and its stock saw steady growth through the early 2000s. Early 2000s to 2015: Building the Foundation Throughout the 2000s, NVIDIA expanded its product line, targeting both gaming and professional markets. Significant milestones included the release of the GeForce 256 in 1999, often considered the world's first GPU. The company's stock price rallied in the dot-com bubble, cresting $6 in 2001. After sinking to a low of $0.60 in 2002, NVDA began a long uptrend, peaking at $9.92 in 2007, just before the 2008 financial crisis sent it plummeting back to $1.44. Continuing to expand its presence in the GPU arena over the years, NVIDIA’s stock rebounded, closing 2015 at $8.24.

Resolve Posted June 10 Author Share Posted June 10 EUR/GBP Rate at 21-Month Low Post-European Parliament Elections Investors will begin the week in a state of uncertainty regarding the outlook of Europe's political landscape. The four-day European Parliament elections concluded on Sunday. According to Reuters, the results showed a significant gain for eurosceptic-nationalists, who have displaced liberals and greens. Additionally, President Emmanuel Macron dissolved the French Parliament, calling for early legislative elections later this month after losing to Marine Le Pen's far-right party in the European Union elections. All this puts pressure on the structure of the European Union, weakening the euro's value. As shown by the EUR/GBP chart, trading on the currency markets opened on Monday around the 0.8465 level—a price not seen since August 2022.

Resolve Posted June 10 Author Share Posted June 10 Gold Price Drops After US Employment Report As per ForexFactory, the Non-Farm Employment Change report revealed an actual increase of 272 thousand jobs (expected = 182k, previous value = 165k). A robust job market provides further arguments for the Federal Reserve to continue its tight monetary policy. Consequently, the news led to a rise in the dollar index and a decrease in assets denominated in US dollars: → Currencies depreciated; for instance, the NZD/USD rate decreased by approximately 1.5%; → Cryptocurrencies declined; Bitcoin dropped by roughly 3%; → Gold also decreased in price. The situation worsens for the gold price with the news that China has stopped buying the metal for reserves after doing so for 18 months. According to ING, China's appetite showed signs of weakening in April when the central bank purchased only 60,000 ounces compared to 160,000 ounces in March.

Resolve Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 Goldman Sachs Predicts a Rise in Brent Crude Oil Prices According to CNBC, Goldman Sachs analysts believe that Brent crude oil prices should increase in the third quarter due to summer fuel demand leading to a “significant” deficit—approximately 1.3 million barrels per day. They forecast that the price of Brent could rise to $86 per barrel with a “ceiling” around $90. This implies an approximate +7% increase from current levels and a continued rise from the low set on 4 June. How realistic is this?
