Stock markets started last week on a positive note, climbing on reports of Tesla’s supercomputer development to power its driverless-system capabilities. Markets retreated slightly Tuesday following Oracle’s downbeat guidance/forecast but continued higher Wednesday and Thursday after a mainly-as-expected CPI release Wednesday, powered by hopes of a resilient economy despite continued vigilance from the Fed. Friday, however, saw that optimism fade, triggered by a disappointing Adobe earnings report, a sustained rally in oil prices and a surprise decline in consumer sentiment. All 3 major stock market indexes, up 1% through Thursday, experienced sharp declines, driving both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Indexes slightly into the red and Dow Jones Industrial Average to almost unchanged. For the week, the S&P 500 Index decreased 0.2% to 4,450.32, the Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 0.4% to 13,704.70, the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased 0.1% to 34,618.77, the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate rose 7bps to 4.33% and the U.S. dollar (as measured by the ICE U.S. Dollar index – DXY) strengthened 0.2%.

While many people think of electric cars as a modern-day invention, electric vehicles have actually been around since the Civil War, long before gas cars were invented.
In fact, Thomas Davenport developed the first electric motor in 1834. While gas cars are more popular than electric cars, over the past few years, more and more people have switched to electric vehicles in an effort to help the environment and alleviate fuel costs.

The buzz around electric vehicles in the past several years has excited investors about the industry. Nio, a Chinese electric vehicle designer, manufacturer, and seller, is no exception.
The company's share price movement has had its ups and downs however some market commentators indicate that the company’s fundamentals have remained the same and that the recent share price volatility has resulted from other market forces, particularly the performance of the U.S. 10-year Treasury Bond i.e. rising interest rates.

Stock markets started last week on a positive note, climbing on reports of Tesla’s supercomputer development to power its driverless-system capabilities. Markets retreated slightly Tuesday following Oracle’s downbeat guidance/forecast but continued higher Wednesday and Thursday after a mainly-as-expected CPI release Wednesday, powered by hopes of a resilient economy despite continued vigilance from the Fed. Friday, however, saw that optimism fade, triggered by a disappointing Adobe earnings report, a sustained rally in oil prices and a surprise decline in consumer sentiment. All 3 major stock market indexes, up 1% through Thursday, experienced sharp declines, driving both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Indexes slightly into the red and Dow Jones Industrial Average to almost unchanged. For the week, the S&P 500 Index decreased 0.2% to 4,450.32, the Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 0.4% to 13,704.70, the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased 0.1% to 34,618.77, the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate rose 7bps to 4.33% and the U.S. dollar (as measured by the ICE U.S. Dollar index – DXY) strengthened 0.2%.

All 3 major indexes moved higher last week, powered mainly by investor reassessment of the strength of the economy and, as a result, of a possible relaxing of the Fed’s current monetary policy. Weaker-than-expected JOLTS and consumer confidence releases early last week seemingly accentuated Fed Chair Powell’s “proceed with caution” Jackson Hole comments, increasing expectations of a less aggressive Fed, pushing Treasury rates lower and stock prices higher. More (but less) of the same followed with an unexpected revision lower to Q2 GDP. Thursday’s PCE Price Index release, while generally reflecting a slowing in core and headline inflation, also showed continued higher-than-desired (by the Fed) wage and services inflation, increasing (at least momentarily) uncertainty regarding the Fed’s future course of action. Friday’s weaker-than-expected Jobs Report, also seemingly increased uncertainty with lower-than-expected jobs created offset by slightly higher-than-expected wage growth. 10-year Treasury rates, down 13bps through Thursday, rose 8bps Friday (following the Jobs Report), finishing the week 5bps lower. The move lower was entirely due to falling 10-year inflation expectations. For the week, the S&P 500 Index increased 2.5% to 4,515.77, the Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 3.3% to 14,031.82, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.4% to 34,838.01, the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate decreased 5bps to 4.18% and the U.S. dollar (as measured by the ICE U.S. Dollar index – DXY) strengthened 0.2%.

Stock markets rose last week, with the 2 of the 3 major market indexes registering gains with somewhat large disparity between index returns. Uncertainty ruled early week trading with investor awaiting Nvidia’s earnings report Wednesday (after the close) and Fed Chair Powell’s Jackson Hole speech Friday. Macy’s poor earnings report Tuesday, adding to concerns regarding consumer strength, helped pressure markets lower. Wednesday’s much better-than-expected Toll Brothers’ results (indicating surprisingly strong home building strength despite the high level of mortgage rates) along with generally positive Nvidia expectations pushed all 3 index levels at least ½ percent higher. Though Nvidia’s earnings report beat expectations (sending the stock almost 10% higher after hours Wednesday), markets fell more than 1% Thursday (Nvidia ended the day practically unchanged), besieged by growing concerns of the wherewithal of the economy follow much weaker-than-expected durable goods orders. Lower-than-expected jobless claims, indicating a still-resilient job market, added to those concerns by increasing expectations of continued Fed tight monetary policies. Powell’s comments Friday overall appeared to buoy markets, leaving investors with expectations the Fed would remain vigilant in its fight against inflation but act with caution. 10-year Treasury rates, reflecting investor uncertainty early last week, rose noticeably Tuesday only to fall sharply Wednesday to end the week about 2bps lower. For the week, the S&P 500 Index increased 0.8% to 4,405.71, the Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 2.3% to 13,590.65, the Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased 0.5% to 34,346.96, the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate decreased 2bps to 4.23% and the U.S. dollar (as measured by the ICE U.S. Dollar index – DXY) strengthened 0.8%.

All 3 major stock market indexes moved noticeably lower last week pressured by growing “higher-rates-for-longer” concerns. Good economic data released last week, including better-than-expected retail sales and initial jobless claims, added to rate concerns pushing both nominal and real 10-year Treasury rates higher and, as a result, pressuring stock prices lower. Wednesday’s FOMC Minutes release also contributed to expectations of continued Fed vigilance, revealing most FOMC members continue to be worried about current and prospective inflation levels. The Atlanta Fed’s revision higher to its Q3 GDP growth forecast (also on Wednesday) added to higher-rate concerns as well. Reflecting higher-rate concerns, the 10-year Treasury rate rose 9bps with 10-year real rates rising 16bps and 10-year inflation expectations falling 7bps. For the week, the S&P 500 Index fell 2.1% to 4,369.71, the Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 2.6% to 13,290.78, the Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased 2.2% to 34,501.88, the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate increased 9bps to 4.25% and the U.S. dollar (as measured by the ICE U.S. Dollar index – DXY) strengthened 0.6%.

All 3 major stock market indexes moved noticeably lower last week pressured by growing “higher-rates-for-longer” concerns. Good economic data released last week, including better-than-expected retail sales and initial jobless claims, added to rate concerns pushing both nominal and real 10-year Treasury rates higher and, as a result, pressuring stock prices lower. Wednesday’s FOMC Minutes release also contributed to expectations of continued Fed vigilance, revealing most FOMC members continue to be worried about current and prospective inflation levels. The Atlanta Fed’s revision higher to its Q3 GDP growth forecast (also on Wednesday) added to higher-rate concerns as well. Reflecting higher-rate concerns, the 10-year Treasury rate rose 9bps with 10-year real rates rising 16bps and 10-year inflation expectations falling 7bps.

Stock markets started last week on a positive note, climbing on reports of Tesla’s supercomputer development to power its driverless-system capabilities. Markets retreated slightly Tuesday following Oracle’s downbeat guidance/forecast but continued higher Wednesday and Thursday after a mainly-as-expected CPI release Wednesday, powered by hopes of a resilient economy despite continued vigilance from the Fed. Friday, however, saw that optimism fade, triggered by a disappointing Adobe earnings report, a sustained rally in oil prices and a surprise decline in consumer sentiment. All 3 major stock market indexes, up 1% through Thursday, experienced sharp declines, driving both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Indexes slightly into the red and Dow Jones Industrial Average to almost unchanged. For the week, the S&P 500 Index decreased 0.2% to 4,450.32, the Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 0.4% to 13,704.70, the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased 0.1% to 34,618.77, the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate rose 7bps to 4.33% and the U.S. dollar (as measured by the ICE U.S. Dollar index – DXY) strengthened 0.2%.

The buzz around electric vehicles in the past several years has excited investors about the industry. Nio, a Chinese electric vehicle designer, manufacturer, and seller, is no exception.
The company's share price movement has had its ups and downs however some market commentators indicate that the company’s fundamentals have remained the same and that the recent share price volatility has resulted from other market forces, particularly the performance of the U.S. 10-year Treasury Bond i.e. rising interest rates.

Stock markets started last week on a positive note, climbing on reports of Tesla’s supercomputer development to power its driverless-system capabilities. Markets retreated slightly Tuesday following Oracle’s downbeat guidance/forecast but continued higher Wednesday and Thursday after a mainly-as-expected CPI release Wednesday, powered by hopes of a resilient economy despite continued vigilance from the Fed. Friday, however, saw that optimism fade, triggered by a disappointing Adobe earnings report, a sustained rally in oil prices and a surprise decline in consumer sentiment. All 3 major stock market indexes, up 1% through Thursday, experienced sharp declines, driving both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Indexes slightly into the red and Dow Jones Industrial Average to almost unchanged.

Stock markets moved lower last week with the Nasdaq Composite Index registering the steepest decline versus the S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Concerns of “higher-rates-for-longer” clouded investor outlooks, propelled by lower-than-expected initial jobless claims and a stronger-than-expected ISM Services Index release. Higher oil prices in front of next week’s CPI release added to concerns, increasing expectations of higherthan-desired inflation.

All 3 major indexes moved higher last week, powered mainly by investor reassessment of the strength of the economy and, as a result, of a possible relaxing of the Fed’s current monetary policy. Weaker-than-expected JOLTS and consumer confidence releases early last week seemingly accentuated Fed Chair Powell’s “proceed with caution” Jackson Hole comments, increasing expectations of a less aggressive Fed, pushing Treasury rates lower and stock prices higher. More (but less) of the same followed with an unexpected revision lower to Q2 GDP. Thursday’s PCE Price Index release, while generally reflecting a slowing in core and headline inflation, also showed continued higher-than-desired (by the Fed) wage and services inflation, increasing (at least momentarily) uncertainty regarding the Fed’s future course of action. Friday’s weaker-than-expected Jobs Report, also seemingly increased uncertainty with lower-than-expected jobs created offset by slightly higher-than-expected wage growth. 10-year Treasury rates, down 13bps through Thursday, rose 8bps Friday (following the Jobs Report), finishing the week 5bps lower. The move lower was entirely due to falling 10-year inflation expectations. For the week, the S&P 500 Index increased 2.5% to 4,515.77, the Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 3.3% to 14,031.82, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.4% to 34,838.01, the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate decreased 5bps to 4.18% and the U.S. dollar (as measured by the ICE U.S. Dollar index – DXY) strengthened 0.2%.

Thursday’s PCE Price Index release, while generally reflecting a slowing in core and headline inflation, also showed continued higher-than-desired (by the Fed) wage and services inflation, increasing (at least momentarily) uncertainty regarding the Fed’s future course of action. Friday’s weaker-than-expected Jobs Report, also seemingly increased uncertainty with lower-than-expected jobs created offset by slightly higher-than-expected wage growth. 10-year Treasury rates, down 13bps through Thursday, rose 8bps Friday (following the Jobs Report), finishing the week 5bps lower. The move lower was entirely due to falling 10-year inflation expectations. For the week, the S&P 500 Index increased 2.5% to 4,515.77, the Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 3.3% to 14,031.82, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.4% to 34,838.01, the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate decreased 5bps to 4.18% and the U.S. dollar (as measured by the ICE U.S. Dollar index – DXY) strengthened 0.2%.
Stock markets rose last week, with the 2 of the 3 major market indexes registering gains with somewhat large disparity between index returns. Uncertainty ruled early week trading with investor awaiting Nvidia’s earnings report Wednesday (after the close) and Fed Chair Powell’s Jackson Hole speech Friday. Macy’s poor earnings report Tuesday, adding to concerns regarding consumer strength, helped pressure markets lower. Wednesday’s much better-than-expected Toll Brothers’ results (indicating surprisingly strong home building strength despite the high level of mortgage rates) along with generally positive Nvidia expectations pushed all 3 index levels at least ½ percent higher. Though Nvidia’s earnings report beat expectations (sending the stock almost 10% higher after hours Wednesday), markets fell more than 1% Thursday (Nvidia ended the day practically unchanged), besieged by growing concerns of the wherewithal of the economy follow much weaker-than-expected durable goods orders. Lower-than-expected jobless claims, indicating a still-resilient job market, added to those concerns by increasing expectations of continued Fed tight monetary policies. Powell’s comments Friday overall appeared to buoy markets, leaving investors with expectations the Fed would remain vigilant in its fight against inflation but act with caution. 10-year Treasury rates, reflecting investor uncertainty early last week, rose noticeably Tuesday only to fall sharply Wednesday to end the week about 2bps lower. For the week, the S&P 500 Index increased 0.8% to 4,405.71, the Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 2.3% to 13,590.65, the Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased 0.5% to 34,346.96, the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate decreased 2bps to 4.23% and the U.S. dollar (as measured by the ICE U.S. Dollar index – DXY) strengthened 0.8%.

All 3 major stock market indexes moved noticeably lower last week pressured by growing “higher-rates-for-longer” concerns. Good economic data released last week, including better-than-expected retail sales and initial jobless claims, added to rate concerns pushing both nominal and real 10-year Treasury rates higher and, as a result, pressuring stock prices lower. Wednesday’s FOMC Minutes release also contributed to expectations of continued Fed vigilance, revealing most FOMC members continue to be worried about current and prospective inflation levels. The Atlanta Fed’s revision higher to its Q3 GDP growth forecast (also on Wednesday) added to higher-rate concerns as well. Reflecting higher-rate concerns, the 10-year Treasury rate rose 9bps with 10-year real rates rising 16bps and 10-year inflation expectations falling 7bps. For the week, the S&P 500 Index fell 2.1% to 4,369.71, the Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 2.6% to 13,290.78, the Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased 2.2% to 34,501.88, the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate increased 9bps to 4.25% and the U.S. dollar (as measured by the ICE U.S. Dollar index – DXY) strengthened 0.6%.
