The upward movement of US equities seems to have been halted and market participants are waiting to see he direction of the next leg. In today\u2019s report we are to have another look at NVIDIA\u2019s earnings report, fundamental issues, like the Fed\u2019s minutes, key financial releases and Trump\u2019s intentions. Technically, we are to provide an analysis of S&P 500\u2019s daily chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NVIDIA earnings today<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We make a start with last week\u2019s report by making a small reference to the release of NVIDIA\u2019s earnings report. The EPS figure is expected to rise slightly reaching 0.893 if compared to 0.84 in February, while the revenue figure is expected to have a considerable jump, reaching $43.12B if compared to the prior release of $39.33B. Overall, should the actual figures meet or even surpass market expectations we may see NVIDIA\u2019s share price getting some support. Yet we are also to focus on the forward guidance which is to be provided by the company and a more optimistic outlook by the company\u2019s management could support it\u2019s share price and vice versa. A last note, would be the high profile of the company and the attention placed by the market on semiconductors and the tech sector, thus the release could create ripple effects beyond the share\u2019s price, affecting US stockmarkets in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The release of the Fed\u2019s meeting minutes<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today we also highlight the release of the Fed\u2019s last meeting minutes. The minutes may provide valuable insight into the inner deliberations of policymakers and could provide clues as to how to the bank may proceed in their next monetary policy meeting. Overall, should the minutes showcase a willingness by Fed policymakers to cut rates in the near future it may provide some support for US equities, as there would be increasing signals for financial conditions in the US economy to ease. On the flip side, should worries surface in regards to the state of the US economy could weigh on US stock markets, despite possibly implying an earlier rate cut. Also should there be signals that the bank is ready to remain on hold for longer, we may see US stockmarkets losing ground. Please note that currently, Fed Funds Futures imply that the market expects the bank to cut rates twice until the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financial releases of interest for Equity traders<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the coming days there are two financial releases stemming from the US that could affect US Equities. The one would the release of the revised US GPD rate for Q1 25 tomorrow. Should we see the rate slowing down we may see market worries for the US economic outlook being enhanced thus weighing possibly on US equities, given the markets worries intensification after the downgrading of the US Government\u2019s rating by Moody\u2019s. On the flip side a possible acceleration of the GDP rate could support US equities as market worries may ease. Also on Friday we note the release of the PCE rates for April, core and headline, which is also the Fed\u2019s favourite inflation metric. Should the release imply a relative persistence of inflationary pressures in the US economy, we may see the release weighing on US stock markets as it may provoke a more hawkish stance on behalf of the Fed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s tariff intentions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We note the recent rollercoaster, with Trump\u2019s intentions of imposing another 50% tariffs on European products entering US soil being announced on Friday and postponed for the 9th of July on Monday. The Europeans seem to be preparing for negotiations European Union officials have asked the EU’s leading companies and CEOs for details of their U.S. investment plans, as reported by Reuters. Putting aside, Trump\u2019s claims for victory over the EU, the US side seems to be noting progress on the issue. Should there be further signals for a thawing of the tensions in the US-EU relationships we may see support building up for US stockmarkets and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
