Fed liquidity injections sure help giving a smile!

from 🇬🇧 Stay ahead of the markets with Swissquote · host Swissquote, Ipek Ozkardeskaya, Feyyaz Alingan

US equities rebounded yesterday after early-session weakness, with dip buyers stepping in near key Markets bounced yesterday as Big Tech and software stocks led the charge, while Bitcoin lagged behind, missing the bullish wave. A mix of US data — weak but less negative than expected — supported the rebound, while more hawkish than expected Fed minutes cast a slight shadow. But even with hawkish Fed minutes, liquidity injections continue to underpin markets, giving investors breathing room. Attention now turns to upcoming US GDP and core PCE releases, which could set the tone for the next leg of the macro story. On the corporate side, Meta announced plans to deploy millions of Nvidia processors over the coming years, while Amazon shrugged off a reduction in Berkshire Hathaway’s stake, highlighting its AI potential. Crude oil also rebounded amid ongoing geopolitical risks in the Middle East. Listen to find out more!
