"High Hopes?"

Good Morning!

Dow futures up around 200 points at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on markets hitting all time highs, the runup in bitcoin pricing, the move in treasuries and this week’s economic calendar.

From Bloomberg

  • "US stocks looked set to build on their recent advance to record highs as Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential race stoked investors’ appetite for US assets.

  • Futures pointed to gains of about 0.3% for the S&P 500, which hit its 50th record high of the year on Friday, while Nasdaq 100 looked set to rise by a similar amount. The biggest premarket gainer of the day was EV maker Tesla Inc, which rose as much as 7.3%. Its valuation surpassed $1 trillion on Friday, on a view that a Trump presidency will be a positive for Elon Musk’s company. 

  • Crypto-linked stocks also gained in premarket trading as Bitcoin rallied past $81,000 for the first time on the prospect of a Republican-led Congress with pro-crypto lawmakers. While US bond markets were shut for a holiday, the dollar rallied 0.3% against a basket of currencies, adding to a six-week winning streak. 

  • “Between now and the end of the year, I can easily see how the US market particularly will continue to be strong on hopes that everything Trump has said will come to pass, particularly when it gets confirmed that he got a clean sweep,” said Nick Clay, portfolio manager at Redwheel.

  • While Trump’s pledge to impose hefty tariffs on trade partners has weighed heavily on European shares, the Stoxx 600 index rebounded after three weeks of declines. The gauge added 0.9%, with all industry groups in the index climbing, as the mood was lifted by a slew of robust company earnings, including German tiremaker Continental AG and insurance firm Hannover Re."“
