Saxo Market Call

Today we discuss the key companies reporting in this week's earnings bonanza with Saxo Equity Strategist Ruben Dalfovo, including Meta, Alphabet, Amazon and Microsoft and Apple. We also note Nvidia's big drop on an otherwise positive day for the market - a concerning sign. Next week features several companies of note. Elsewhere, we note everyone rushing to declare a top in the crude oil market because of a classic Economist cover indicator. Really? Finally, a look at the macro and FX space, where the focus is on a strong bout of JPY intervention that sparked significant JPY volatility. This and more on today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Links discussed on today's podcast and our Chart of the Day can be found on the John J. Hardy substack (within two to four hours from the time of the podcast release).

Today - how the market is parsing the titanic capex plans for the four Mag7 companies reporting after the US market close yesterday. With crude oil prices spiking aggressively, maintaining the AI exceptionalism trade will prove difficult unless prices back down. Also, a far more interesting FOMC meeting than was expected as Powell vows to stay on and put up a fight for Fed independence, a fight that is doomed to fail. Elsewhere, Japan fights against JPY sell-off while recording today's pod, which is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Today, a look at a modest market setback ahead of the single most important day on the earnings calendar this quarter, as four of the Mag7 are set to report earnings after the close today - each with its own twist, but overall with the focus on the scale of capital expenditures and cloud growth. Also, a look at yesterday's incoming earnings of note, energy (including of the nuclear sort), macro and FX developments and much more. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

A link for today: billionaire and trading legend Paul Tudor Jones was on the Invest like the Best podcast, mostly talking great life- and trading lessons more than markets, but very much worth a listen.

Today's John J. Hardy substack post.

Today, challenging the notion that energy prices can remain here or go higher and risk sentiment can stay stable as we wonder where the market's pain point is. It's either that, or we must see clarity emerge in the Hormuz Strait to justify the equity market's strong sentiment. Also, a look at companies reporting yesterday and today, macro and FX, the Bank of Japan's meeting today and much more. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.

Links discussed on today's podcast and our Chart of the Day can be found on the John J. Hardy substack (within two to four hours from the time of the podcast release).

Today, a look at the continued incredible ramp in semiconductor names and whether we are inflating an incipient bubble, even if forward valuations in many case look quite reasonable. Elsewhere, we note the lack of progress in opening the Hormuz Strait and the implications that continue to multiply with every day and week that crude oil and refined products aren't reaching the global market. Meanwhile, we have peak earnings season and five central banks meeting this week. This and more on today's pod, which features Saxo Head of Commodity Strategy Ole Hansen and is hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.
