"Lots to Navigate"
David Auerbach
February 05, 2025
Good Morning!
Futures in the red at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on trade tariffs, Gaza, corporate earnings, jobs, treasuries and so much more. The roller coaster ride is in full effect.
From Bloomberg
"US equity futures dropped as investors navigate the trade war and a busy slate of earnings from some of the world’s biggest companies.
Futures on the Nasdaq 100 were down 0.8% as Google parent Alphabet Inc. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. plunged in US pre-market trading after disappointing results. Contracts on the S&P 500 fell 0.4%, suggesting Wall Street’s rebound may be short-lived.
While the first volleys in the latest US-China trade war made clear that Xi Jinping is taking a more cautious approach than during Donald Trump’s first term, tariff risks remain at the forefront. Disappointing results from Alphabet and AMD also heightened unease about the outlook for megacap tech companies that have driven the S&P 500’s gains. Amazon is scheduled to report on Thursday.
“It remains tough for anyone to have a particularly high degree of conviction when operating in such an uncertain environment,” said Michael Brown, senior research strategist at Pepperstone Group Ltd. “I still favor adopting a more cautious stance in the short run, as uncertainty remains elevated, and participants chew through this week’s remaining risk events, including earnings from Amazon, and Friday’s US jobs report.”"
