📈 Market Focus – August 27 & 28: underlying tensions, tech in the spotlight The last 48 hours delivered a powerful mix of macro and micro signals that are reshaping the investment landscape. 🇺🇸 In the U.S., $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) posted another blowout quarter: revenue up 56% YoY to 46.7B$, driven by the AI boom. Yet, the stock dipped post-earnings clear sign that even top-tier names must now exceed sky-high expectations. Still, the SPX500 hit a new high, reflecting persistent market optimism. 🏛️ The FED remains a major uncertainty. John Williams (NY Fed) struck a cautious tone, suggesting a potential rate cut in September if the data supports it. This sparked renewed volatility in $TLT (iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF ) and weighed on the $USDOLLAR Meanwhile, Trump’s potential reshaping of the Fed raises red flags. A politicized central bank would introduce systemic risk. On the geopolitical front, the U.S. slapped 50% tariffs on Indian goods over its continued oil trade with Russia. This move could disrupt emerging market flows, especially ETFs like $EEM (iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF) and $INDA (iShares MSCI India ETF) . 🇪🇺 In Europe, $TSLA (Tesla Motors, Inc.) keeps losing market share to BYD in the EV segment. The continent may become a strategic battleground for automakers. 🇬🇧 ⚡ In the UK, rising energy costs are squeezing households. In France, budget turmoil is rattling investor sentiment. High volatility, but just as many opportunities to seize. Keep an eye on rates, technology, emerging markets, and currencies.
