End-of-Week Trading Summary Major Market Movements This week saw significant movements across various markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average experienced a sharp decline of 2.3%, primarily driven by concerns over rising interest rates and inflation. Meanwhile, the NASDAQ Composite Index fell by 3.1%, with tech stocks leading the downward trend. On a brighter note, the FTSE 100 managed to eke out a modest gain of 0.5%, buoyed by strong performances in the energy and healthcare sectors. Key Events Federal Reserve Meeting: The Federal Reserve announced a 0.25% interest rate hike, citing persistent inflationary pressures. This decision was largely anticipated by the market but still led to increased volatility in both equity and bond markets. Bank of Japan's Rate Hike: In a historic move, the Bank of Japan ended its negative interest rate policy by raising rates to 0.1%. This decision caused a sharp appreciation of the yen and triggered a sell-off in risk assets globally. US Non-Farm Payrolls Report: The report showed an unexpected drop in job creation, with only 150,000 new jobs added in November, compared to the forecasted 200,000. This data raised concerns about the strength of the US economy and led to a decline in the US dollar. Important News Stories Global Food Prices: The United Nations' world food price index reached a 19-month high in November, driven by surging vegetable oil prices. This increase has implications for inflation and consumer spending. Amazon Workers Strike: Thousands of Amazon workers across the US are preparing to strike over the holiday season, demanding better working conditions and pay. This could impact Amazon's stock performance and broader market sentiment. China's Car Exports: China's car exports surged as domestic sales slowed, with the country becoming a global leader in electric vehicle production. This shift has significant implications for global trade and the automotive industry. Market Outlook Looking ahead, traders will be closely watching the upcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) report and Federal Reserve speeches for further clues on monetary policy direction. Additionally, geopolitical tensions and corporate earnings reports will likely play a crucial role in shaping market sentiment..
I don't provide any financial advice as I'm not a licenced advisor, simply a mama gone rouge ?? but if it were me I'd love to know it's "Last call" for Christmas cash ??️??? SEI is recovering from its lowest low in a while. Chart pattern shows an incredible HNS targeted over $1 on the daily charts. Targets anywhere from $0.60 to $0.70, to $0.85, and for Christmas Eve im feeling a BFP over $1. This one is pretty much sky's the limit imo especially looking at the bigger picture 4hrs-1Month. Looks real good. RSI is in the toilet. So ready for some Christmas magic ? Agree or disagree all good. These are my ideas ?
