Invest and Trade Profitably with Jon Johnson

Weekender for 2/5

1. Market Summary

Mega-Cap NASDAQ Stocks Explode

  • Mega-cap NASDAQ stocks explode higher on Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:FB), ahead of key earnings.
  • Indices so strong they are approaching next resistance.
  • Bonds are at a very key inflection point.
  • VIX is worth a look. No, it demands a look.
  • Just what was Powell doing Wednesday? Just off his game or was there another reason?
  • Dollar lower since the early fall. Anything to see here?
  • Earnings and jobs, jobs and earnings. But what will bonds do?

The tech rush higher continued on Thursday, with the NASDAQ leading, even over PHLX Semiconductor Sector (SOX), as market participants rushed into the big NASDAQ names. If the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is now close to pausing/reversing its action, these stocks will benefit.

Indeed, bonds are rallying as well, up for the past six weeks; if in doubt, bonds typically are where you look for the answer. Bonds rallying and yields falling indicate that it is possible the Fed is near the end of its tightening. Thus, with the Fed possibly nearing the end of tightening (but does that mean loosening?) and META’s earnings apparently washing away all the sins of an atrocious earnings season prior to it’s report, there were again lots of buyers, and they were buying big tech after snapping up semiconductors on Wednesday.
