Analyse de jp morgan sur la semaine passée
5 market dynamics that caught our eye last week:
1. Thank tech for the rally. Last week brought a spattering of developments—
apple briefly crossed $2 trillion in market cap (the first time ever for a U.S. company),
intel (the world’s largest chipmaker) is considering a $10 billion share buyback,
amazon announced plans to expand offices in six cities and hire 3,500 people, and Uber and Lyft got a boost from a court ruling that’ll keep them operating in California. It seems tech’s winning streak continues—after all, the
nasdaq 100 also made four new records last week, now up to its 38th new record this year (and 21st since the market bottom).
2. Clean energy is in, while old energy is out. Tesla (owners of which, by the way, now have their own dating app) continued to make new all-time highs and gained another $74 billion in market cap last week (roughly the size of Estée Lauder or
caterpillar). Meanwhile, the traditional energy sector (-4.8%) was the worst performer in the MSCI World. When could the old energy sector present value? It already does apparently to oil company insiders. Insider buys haven't been higher in the last 10 years!
3. The summer doldrums. The S&P 500’s trading volume was roughly 15% below its 30-day average. In other words, a small drop in the pond can create a bigger ripple. It’s one reason why markets took a step back later in the week when…
4. The
FED played it coy. Minutes from the central bank’s July meeting showed that policymakers stopped
short of specifying a timeline for potentially raising interest rates (which, in case you haven’t heard, are still
AT record lows). Markets seemed to be looking for more direction and were skittish after the minutes, but we wouldn’t read too much into it. We still expect a very accommodative Federal Reserve for the foreseeable future.
5. Europe’s recovery took a little bit of a breather. PMI data (one of our favorite growth indicators) across the Eurozone missed expectations, and even looked a bit weaker than last month. The composite PMI (which looks across both manufacturing and services sectors) dropped to 51.6 from 54.9 in July, led by a plunge in the services subcomponent. Nonetheless, the read still signals expansion (50+ is the threshold), just
AT a slower pace. Our read: the resurgence in virus cases in some countries, which has led to localized, limited restrictions, is impacting economic activity to some extent.
Extra: Joe Biden’s Democratic nomination for president became official. With the election now only 71 days away, investors are chomping
AT the bit for clarity on candidate policy platforms and how the stock market might react when results hit. Read on for our thoughts…
