Nasdaq 100 – NDX
Nasdaq hits one-month low as Tesla, Alphabet knock megacaps down
KEY POINTS:
S&P 500, Dow hit multi-week lows
Visa falls after missing revenue growth forecasts
AT&T rises after beating subscriber-addition estimates
Enphase Energy up after results
Indexes down: Dow 0.85%, S&P 1.61%, Nasdaq 2.55%
The Nasdaq plummeted to a one-month low on Wednesday after Tesla and Alphabet disappointed with lackluster earnings, prompting investors to question if the Big Tech and AI-fueled 2024 equity rally was sustainable in the long run.

I believe we should see Bitcoin futures at 6040 in coming weeks though there is decent potential to see 6800 or higher prior. Enjoyed the Ether ETF rolling out the other day. Any participation in crypto on my part at this stage is purely speculative due to them not yet being mature instruments. I realize that upsets the average GenZ and Millennial anarchist who wants them to replace to US Dollar so they can feel like they changed the world and are oh so smart, but those are just the facts. They should transform to being more viable financial instruments over time like moth larvae somewhat in around 2 years from now. Ultimately Stablecoin will dominate the pool of fringe crypto’s in various respects.
On another note I like the buy side of Gold stocks and if you don’t have much money then GROY (Gold Rty Group) from the 1.30’s or perhaps even 1.40’s is decent R/R you can live with even if it doesn’t go your way right away.
AMC Stock Alert: AMC Previews Revenue Drop, Pivot to Net Loss for Q2
Trading of AMC Entertainment AMC stock was briefly halted this morning following the release of its preliminary second-quarter earnings. It was resumed at 9:43 ET, and, as of this writing, AMC stock is currently about 7% down.
AMC posted revenue of $1.03 billion, down 23.54% from $1.347 billion a year ago. Preliminary revenue was in line with the consensus analyst estimate of $1.03 billion.
The movie theater chain also reverted back to being an unprofitable company with a net loss of $32.8 million compared to net earnings of $8.6 million year-over-year (YOY). Diluted loss per share fell to approximately 10 cents from a diluted earnings per share of 6 cents. Analysts were expecting a GAAP EPS loss of 47 cents.

Tesla Inc TSLA and Google parent Alphabet Inc’s GOOG GOOGL second-quarter earnings on Tuesday failed to impress the Street and are dragging the stocks lower.

Monedge, when you started with Coffee and USDJPY, it was fine…but when you suddenly moved over to Chinese Yuan and Singapore Dollar ( USDSEK is kind of my turf – still have a password based on exact rate of it like 25 years ago 😀 , I figured it out – Some Strong Coffee you got there 😀
You can send some over here 😀
There were those who thought I must have had too much coffee about a month ago with UsdJpy around 160 and I said we would see 153 in coming weeks. Pretty good coffee. Now I see conditions in support of the buy side of US Dollar vs Chinese Yuan (2620) and Singapore Dollar (3410) around todays lows.  Perhaps 7220 or so UsdSek (Usd vs Swedish Krone) as well.
Spreads are wide as a constant with those pairs. Keep an eye out for stop runs of highs/lows as has been pointed out by Jay with GVI. But I wouldn’t take them, if they occur, to be anything more than just that. At least for now.
Bank of Canada Governor did not provide much verbiage of weight for consideration. The tone was there is not set in stone path of policy at present, that rate cuts will be dependent on the condition of data as it transpires, and the .25 cut was to stimulate growth and is fine for now. The bottom line is their policy is stable and not on any razors edge. Futures are trending down so the proper approach is the buy side of UsdCad unless something profound develops.
That said, the current price area for futures and options are decent to test the buy (sell UsdCad in spot) side if you like rolling the dice, as you could hit a runner. Buy side of 7325 calls at the money look decent on the delta and such at the moment. So in spot that’s a sell from just above 3800.
