ISM non-manufacturing PMI stronger than forecast Nvidia, TSMC touch record highs CrowdStrike gains after strong Q2 forecast HPE climbs after upbeat revenue forecasts Indexes: Dow down 0.01%, S&P up 0.67%, Nasdaq up 1.35% (Updated at 12:20 p.m. ET/1620 GMT) By Lisa Pauline Mattackal and Johann M Cherian June 5 (Reuters) - Technology stocks led U.S. indexes higher on Wednesday, as investors strengthened bets for an earlier-than-expected start to the Federal Reserve's policy easing cycle after multiple reports signaled slowing growth in the world's largest economy. The Nasdaq touched a record intraday high as rate-sensitive megacap stocks such as Microsoft and Amazon.com gained between 0.3% and 2.5%. Tech stocks rose 1.8%, leading sectoral advances. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia SE Semiconductor Index leapt 3.5%. Shares of AI leader Nvidia and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing rose 2.9% and 7.0%, respectively, both touching record highs. Consumer staples led sectoral declines, slipping nearly 0.7%. U.S. Treasury yields slipped to two-month lows after the ADP National Employment report showed private employers increased their headcounts by 152,000 in April, significantly lower than forecast. Traders now see a nearly 69% chance of a September rate reduction, [https://zeus200ct.com/ adult] according to the CME's FedWatch tool. Expectations had hovered around 50% last week. Separately, an Institute of Supply Management survey showed services sector activity stood at 53.8 in May, better than the expectation of 50.8. With major indexes near all-time highs, investors are juggling worries of a weakening economy with hopes this would lead to an earlier start to the Fed's rate cuts than previously [https://topofblogs.com/?s=expected expected]. "It's a confusing time, but now everybody has put (the likelihood of Fed cuts) together. The 10-year Treasury yield is down, and there's a great correlation between that going down and equities coming up," said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners. Investors now await the nonfarm payrolls report, due on Friday, for a comprehensive view of the labor market. "If we get a soft jobs number, that might show the soft landing (for the U.S. economy) is happening," Forrest said. At 12:20 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 4.89 points, or 0.01%, at 38,706.40, the S&P 500 was up 35.69 points, or 0.67%, at 5,327.03, and the Nasdaq Composite was up 228.20 points, or 1.35%, at 17,085.25. Hewlett Packard Enterprise topped the benchmark index with an 11.8 % rise after forecasting third-quarter revenue above Street expectations , helped by upbeat demand for its AI servers. Dollar Tree reversed earlier gains, slipping 4.5% after a disappointing quarterly profit forecast. The budget retailer said it would explore options that include a potential sale or spin-off of Family Dollar. Intel gained 2.0% after buyout firm Apollo Global Management agreed to purchase a 49% equity interest for $11 billion in a joint venture related to the chipmaker's Ireland manufacturing unit. CrowdStrike Holdings jumped 9.9% after forecasting second-quarter revenue above estimates when markets closed on Tuesday, helped by strong demand for its cybersecurity offerings. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 1.92-to-1 ratio on the NYSE, and by a 1.66-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P index recorded 17 new 52-week highs and eight new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded 48 new highs and 95 new lows.

High-flying Super Micro Slides As Margin Squeeze Clouds Upbeat...

By Medha Singh Aug 7 (Reuters) - Shares of AI high-flier Super Micro Computer tumbled to a six month low on Wednesday as a faster-than-expected contraction in the server maker's gross margin overshadowed a robust sales forecast. The company reported an [https://www.answers.com/search?q=adjusted adjusted] gross margin of 11.3% for the fourth quarter, down from 17% a year earlier, and below analysts' average estimate of 14.1%, according to LSEG data. "It seems like a company issue, not necessarily a demand issue and that's why the stock is getting punished and the market isn't," said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners. "They were making money hand over fist but (it appears) they're ill-prepared to deal with the demand." Competitive pricing also hit gross margin, the company said. Super Micro has lowered prices for its servers to stave off rivals such as Dell and HP Enterprise. Dell dropped 4.4%, while HP Enterprise dipped 0.9%. The broader Philadelphia chip index rose 3.5%. Among the [https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/biggest%20beneficiaries biggest beneficiaries] of the AI boom, Super Micro's shares have more than doubled in value in 2024, [https://zeus200ct.com/ bokep] making it the best performing S&P 500 stock through Tuesday close. The company's stock, which dropped 15.7%, logged a turnover of $3.9 billion by 10.30 a.m. ET, more than Microsoft's $1.6 billion. Super Micro also signaled on Tuesday that it was facing higher supply chain costs and a tight inventory of key components. CEO Charles Liang, however, reassured investors that margins would return to a normal range before the end of fiscal 2025. The company forecast first-quarter profit below Wall Street targets but expects quarterly and annual sales above estimates. Some analysts also pointed to a recent hammering of chip stocks on concerns over their lofty valuation in a slowing economy for the sharp share drop. "Right now with all the nervousness in the market, and rightly so, any miss on earnings, especially by a notably tech company (like SMCI), is going to bring a wave of selling," said Ed Cofrancesco, chief executive officer at broker-dealer International Assets Advisory. "Still, long term, Super Micro is well positioned to continue to be a main player in AI infrastructure support." The stock trades 17.24 times earnings estimates for the next 12 months, compared to Dell's 11.07 multiple. Super Micro also announced a 10-for-1 stock split effective October 1.

Wall St Week Ahead-Retail Stocks Search For Direction As Rates Stay...

2025-07-09T19:37:38Z

ErnieConsidine:

By David Randall and Lewis Krauskopf NEW YORK, June 14 (Reuters) - Elevated U.S. interest rates are pressuring the U.S. retail sector, where shares of many companies have been dented by months of tight monetary policy while a select few have soared. The S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary Distribution & Retail index is up nearly 14% this year, roughly keeping pace with the S&P 500´s year-to-date gain. Much of the sector´s strength, however, has been concentrated in a small group of stocks, including heavyweight Amazon.com, which is up nearly 21% this year. Meanwhile, shares of companies focused on lower-income consumers have struggled, in-part because buyers in that segment have been more affected by elevated interest rates, analysts said. Among the biggest laggards are shares of Dollar Tree , which are down nearly 27% year-to-date and Dollar General, which have fallen nearly 9%. The retail sector is one of several areas of the economy - in addition to real estate and consumer staples - that have been pressured by elevated rates. The Federal Reserve earlier this week reiterated that it needs to see more evidence of cooling inflation before lowering borrowing costs. "The lower to mid-income segment is getting squeezed because of gas prices and groceries," said Greg Halter, director of research at Carnegie Investment Counsel. "They feel bad even though the economy is doing well." The consumer will be in focus next week when the U.S. reports retail sales data on Tuesday. Analysts polled by Reuters expect retail sales to have grown by 0.2% in May. Weaker-than-expected results - following data earlier this week showing encouraging progress on inflation - could bolster the case for the Fed to ease rates sooner rather than later. Futures markets have reflected increased investor expectations of a September rate cut, though the Fed projected it will only lower borrowing costs in December. The divergent performance of retail stocks has pushed investors to focus on companies whose consumers can continue to withstand higher interest rates or those that offer discounts on name-brand household items like clothing or groceries, such as warehouse club company Costco Wholesale. Halter´s fund has been buying shares of companies such as Walmart, Costco, and TJX Companies whose business models emphasize value for the consumer. Their shares are up 28%, 29% and 16% respectively. Robert Pavlik, [https://zeus200ct.com/ pencabulan] senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth Management, said he has [https://realitysandwich.com/_search/?search=owned%20Costco owned Costco] and TJX Companies, pointing to their strong management and inventory controls. "I think inflation will remain but moderate and consumers will still look to get the most out of their dollars," he said. Bokeh Capital Partners owns shares of Urban Outfitters , which are up over 20% this year. Kim Forrest, Bokeh's chief investment officer, said Urban Outfitters' strength as a fashion merchandiser has helped the company weather the inflationary environment, adding "people will sacrifice to look good." Josh Cummings, a portfolio manager at Janus Henderson Investors, believes areas such as online shopping will continue to thrive even if interest rates stay elevated. He has been targeting companies such as Carvana, whose shares have nearly doubled this year, and DoorDash , whose shares are up around 13%. "We're not terribly excited about the consumer sector overall, but we do think we are in the early innings of some of these growth stories," he said.

Walmart gains after raising annual sales, profit forecast Defense stocks edge higher Super Micro surges after auditor appointment * Futures down: Dow 0.67%, S&P 500 0.53%, Nasdaq 0.54% (Updates before market open) By Lisa Pauline Mattackal and Purvi Agarwal Nov 19 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures pointed to a lower open on Tuesday, as concerns over escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine dented risk appetite globally, with investors rushing to safe-haven assets. Russian President Vladimir Putin lowered the threshold for a nuclear strike in response to a broader range of conventional attacks, and Moscow said Ukraine had struck deep inside Russia with U.S.-made ATACMS missiles. Ukraine launched an attack on the Russian Bryansk region overnight with six U.S.-made long-range missiles, Russian news agencies reported on Tuesday, citing the Russian Defence Ministry. "All around the world, we're nervous because Putin has said if this escalates, he could match the escalation. Markets are reflecting this nervousness," said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer, Bokeh Capital Partners. The CBOE Volatility index briefly jumped to its highest at 17.88, since the Nov. 5 U.S. election, before slightly easing to 16.61. The resurgence of geopolitical tensions added jitters during a crucial week for Wall Street, as [https://www.paramuspost.com/search.php?query=investors%20await&type=all&mode=search&results=25 investors await] key cabinet appointments for President-elect Donald Trump's administration, assess the possible path for interest rate cuts and await quarterly earnings from AI giant Nvidia. Nvidia, which reports third-quarter results on Wednesday, gained 0.8% in premarket trading. Given its weight in the main indexes, [https://zeus200ct.com/ kontol] its results could offer equities support in a volatile market. "The combination of Russia ratcheting up its war rhetoric and uncertainty about how the incoming U.S. presidential administration will respond, is a recipe for stock market volatility," said Gaurav Mallik, chief investment officer, Pallas Capital Advisors. Investors rushed to safe-haven assets including government bonds, gold and the Japanese yen. Gold miners rose as prices of the yellow metal gained. Barrick Gold gained 1.9% and Harmony Gold Mining rose 4.9%. Futures tracking the small-cap Russell 2000 dropped 0.8%. But most investors have maintained fairly upbeat forecasts for equities - both Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have forecast the S&P 500 would reach 6,500 by the end of 2025. The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 closed higher on Monday. At 08:41 a.m., Dow E-minis were down 290 points, or 0.67%, S&P 500 E-minis were down 31.5 points, or 0.53% and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were down 111.5 points, or 0.54%. Retail giant Walmart gained 3.2% after it raised its annual sales and profit forecasts for the third consecutive time, a sign that it may be gaining market share ahead of the holiday season. Some U.S. defense companies gained in premarket trading, with RTX Corp and Lockheed Martin up marginally. AI server maker Super Micro Computer leapt 25.1% after the company named BDO USA as its auditor and said it has submitted a plan to the Nasdaq to avoid delisting. Home improvement retailer Lowe's lost 2.2% despite forecasting a slower-than-expected drop in annual [https://www.news24.com/news24/search?query=comparable%20sales comparable sales]. Incyte fell 10.9% after the drugmaker paused enrollment in an ongoing early-phase study on its skin condition treatment. Kansas Fed president Jeffrey Schmid is scheduled to speak later in the day.

Boeing set to wipe over $13 bln in market cap after MAX 9 groundings Oil stocks fall on Saudi price cuts, rise in OPEC output Apple climbs as Vision Pro AR headset to go on sale in Feb * Indexes: Dow down 0.50%, S&P up 0.25%, Nasdaq up 0.72% (Updated at 9:52 a.m. ET/1452 GMT) By Johann M Cherian and Ankika Biswas Jan 8 (Reuters) - Blue-chip index Dow slipped to a fresh two-week low on Monday as Boeing shares nosedived following the grounding of some its jets, while a rebound in megacaps and [https://www.healthynewage.com/?s=chip%20stocks chip stocks] supported the other U.S. stock indexes. Boeing slid 9.1% after the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ordered the temporary grounding of some 737 MAX 9 jets fitted with a panel that blew off an Alaska Air Group jet in midair on Friday. The aircraft manufacturer could lose about $13.5 billion in value if losses hold through market close. "It could impact the airline sector because the 737 (MAX) is a real workhorse of the many airlines fleets," said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners. "So it's a drag and a real black mark on Boeing and the company has to come out strongly and say how they're fixing this and how it's not going to happen again." Alaska Air Group slumped 3.9% after the carrier canceled more than 200 flights following the FAA order. On Friday, the benchmark S&P 500 marked its worst week since late October, after mixed economic data turned investors cautious and prompted them to scale back expectations on when the Federal Reserve could begin rate cuts. Remarks by Atlanta's Raphael Bostic, a Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voting member this year, due at 12:30 p.m. ET, will be parsed for his stance on monetary policy easing. That comes after Dallas' Lorie Logan warned over the weekend the Fed may need to resume raising its short-term policy rate. Money markets now see a 64.7% chance of at least a 25-basis-point (bps) rate cut as early as March, down from over 85% in the final weeks of 2023, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. Investors were also awaiting two December inflation reports later in the week and commentary by several policymakers for clues on the Fed's monetary policy trajectory. Among the 11 S&P 500 sectors, energy led declines with a 2.8% loss as crude prices sank nearly 5%. At 9:52 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 185.79 points, or 0.50%, at 37,280.32, the S&P 500 was up 11.73 points, or 0.25%, at 4,708.97, and the Nasdaq Composite was up 104.25 points, or 0.72%, at 14,628.33. Apple climbed 0.9% after saying its Vision Pro mixed-reality device will be available for sale from Feb. 2 in the United States. Amazon.com and Alphabet added 1.1% and 0.5% respectively. Chipmakers such as Nvidia and [https://zeus200ct.com/ pencabulan] Advanced Micro Devices gained more than 3%, with the Philadelphia SE Semiconductor Index rebounding with a 1.9% gain from its worst week since October 2022. JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Citigroup lost more than 1% ahead of reporting quarterly earnings on Friday. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 1.20-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 1.05-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P index recorded six new 52-week highs and no new low, while the Nasdaq recorded 38 new highs and 31 new lows.

Bank stocks extended their rally, with the S&P 500 bank index rising 2.01%, poised for [https://zeus200ct.com/ memek] its third straight session of gains and eighth in the past nine. Goldman Sachs rose 1.56% after reporting a 3-year low in profit but CEO David Solomon made positive comments about signs of a recovery in investment banking. That echoed upbeat comments from other big banks on Tuesday. "Right now we are getting through the raft of companies that are smart and years ago had moved over to more reliable fee based income and that is what people are kind of working through their heads," said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at Bokeh Capital Partners in Pittsburgh. "Banks are giving you the tenor of what is happening in business." Citizens Financial jumped 7.75% and M&T Bank rose 2.51% after both beat Wall Street estimates for second-quarter profit. US Bancorp reversed earlier losses to surge 4.6% as the Minneapolis-based lender posted a 28% jump in quarterly net interest income.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 154.24 points, or 0.44%, to 35,106.17; the S&P 500 gained 16.22 points, or 0.36%, at 4,571.2; and the Nasdaq Composite added 19.64 points, or 0.14%, at 14,373.28. The Dow was on track for its eighth straight session of gains, its longest winning streak since September 2019. The Nasdaq was weighed down by a 1.2 1% fall in Microsoft after a report that Apple was working on artificial intelligence (AI) offerings. Nvidia and Alphabet also lost ground. Carvana surged 31.45% after the used-car retailer struck a deal with most of its term bondholders to cut its outstanding debt by more than $1 billion. Tesla lost 0.42% ahead of results expected after the bell. It will be the first of the megacap growth companies whose outsized gains have fueled a roughly 37% gain in the Nasdaq this year to report earnings this quarter. Results from [https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Netflix Netflix] and International Business Machines Corp are also due after the closing bell. Second-quarter earnings are expected to have declined 8.2%, Refinitiv data showed, more than the 5.7% fall expected at the start of the month. AT&T rose 8.25% after the telecom company said it did not intend to immediately remove lead cables from Lake Tahoe pending further analysis. Peer Verizon also added 5.4%. Halliburton shed 3.14% after posting [https://de.bab.la/woerterbuch/englisch-deutsch/disappointing%20quarterly disappointing quarterly] revenue, while Baker Hughes edged up 0.5% after beating earnings expectations. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners on the NYSE by a 1.80-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.24-to-1 ratio favored advancers.
