Given that this round of US stock earnings season has passed another stable day, the European and American markets continued their rebound from Monday last night and this morning. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 index rose more than 1% together, while the FTSE 100 index in the UK slightly hit a new historical high. The sustained recovery of Hong Kong technology stocks has also driven the collective strength of US and Chinese concept stocks.
Of course, the next two days will still be determined by the financial reports. According to FactSet data, as of Tuesday, nearly 20% of S&P 500 index constituent stocks have disclosed performance, with 76% of companies performing better than market expectations. In addition, Tesla, a character whose financial reports were generally worse than expected but could tell a story that stirred the hearts of the capital market, maintained the atmosphere of sustained market sentiment warming.
In a short one hour earnings conference call, Musk emphasized unmanned "Cyber taxis", lower priced new cars, humanoid robots, authorized FSDs, 85000 NVIDIA graphics cards, and emphasized that Tesla is an "AI robot company", not a car company. These are all words that the market loves to hear, causing investors to overlook that Tesla's financial report for this quarter is not beautiful. It must be admitted that this ability to tell stories is also an indispensable quality for him to create the Tesla Empire and once become the world's richest man.
It should be emphasized that as Friday's US PCE data approaches (with GDP data still available on Thursday), coupled with the Federal Reserve's latest interest rate decision next week, the market will gradually enter a more cautious state according to convention.
In terms of commodities, gold is still in a downward trend, and the market generally believes that this adjustment is healthy; Industrial metals such as nickel and copper have also generally declined. After the rapid rise of copper prices in recent times, approaching the $10000 mark, the market has become more sensitive to news about supply and demand relationships. The Chilean Copper Commission on Tuesday expected the country's copper production to reach a new high in 2025, and Anglo American Resources Group also reported on Monday that copper production increased by over 10% in Q1.
