S&P 500 INDEX CONTINUES TO RISE - UP 9% SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR!

S&P 500, the key stock index comprising shares of the 500 largest publicly traded companies in the US, showed a growth of 23% in 2023, and has already added 9% since the beginning of this year, as can be clearly seen on the chart:

FreshForex analysts have highlighted the following growth factors:

• Stable economic growth in the US and significant corporate earnings.
• Shares of the "Fabulous Seven" (companies strongly influencing the index such as #Apple, #Amazon, #Google, #Meta(Facebook), #Microsoft, #Nvidia, and #Tesla) are rising due to the implementation of artificial intelligence. The "Fabulous Seven" are still available for trading on our platform and represent an interesting idea for long-term investments. The Fed has again confirmed its readiness for three interest rate cuts, supporting growth in the American stock markets. Investors are eagerly awaiting new signals about the dynamics of interest rates in the US.
• Last month, analysts at HSBC and BofA Global Research forecasted that by the end of 2024, the index would reach 5400, while Oppenheimer estimated it at 5500.
• And yesterday, Wells Fargo, one of the largest financial companies in the US, forecasted that the #SP500 index will rise to 5535 points by the end of this year. This is the highest forecast among all brokerage firms on Wall Street.

Thus, investors around the world seem to be ignoring the possibility that stock valuations have risen too high against the backdrop of the overall market rally, providing even more opportunities for growth. At the same time, professionals will be monitoring whether Wall Street giants can justify the huge rise in stock prices seen over the past three months.

GOLD HAS ALREADY HIT RECORDS, NOW IT'S COPPER'S TIME

According to the CME Group, demand for copper futures contracts continues to grow steadily, and institutional funds continue to increase their volumes.

As a result, since the beginning of the year, copper has risen by almost 10%, and the price of the CUCUSD contract confidently reached a 14-month high.


Key growth factors include:

- Increased demand for the metal due to the transition to "green" energy. Solar or wind power stations, electric vehicles, any form of renewable energy - they all require copper because if you need to electrify something, conduct electricity, you need copper.

- Supply reduction risk. On April 3, Canadian mining company Ivanhoe Mines reported a quarterly production decrease of 6.5% at the Kamoa-Kakula mining complex in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In addition, drought in Zambia threatens the planned expansion of the country's mining industry. This leads to supply shortages and further price increases. Goldman Sachs predicts a copper deficit of over 500,000 tons in 2024.

- Expected reduction in the Fed rate. The rise in CUCUSD increased after statements by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell regarding the key rate. He stated that despite higher-than-expected inflation data, the overall situation remains unchanged and a rate cut will be necessary "at some point this year."

According to CNBC analysts' forecasts, by 2025, copper prices could rise by more than 75% and reach new historical highs. FreshForex analysts make more modest forecasts but also expect an upward trend in CUCUSD as a more likely scenario, especially in the case of an improvement in the global economy.

BLACK GOLD CONTINUES ITS RISE!

Oil prices are rapidly increasing at the beginning of the week, driven by a number of factors: geopolitical conflict threats, prospects of production cuts from OPEC+ members, and the depreciation of the dollar.
 
 
As of today, Brent crude oil has reached a price of $86 per barrel!

OPEC+ reaffirms its position on limiting oil production and sees no need for changes, reports Bloomberg, citing several informed sources. On April 3, the alliance will hold an online meeting to assess the progress of the latest production agreements, which are set to run until the end of June.

According to commodities analyst Giovanni Staunovo from UBS Group AG, the rise in oil prices is attributed to positive data from China, including refinery activity levels and increased oil demand. According to Chinese authorities, crude oil processing volumes in January and February reached a historic high of 118.76 million tons, exceeding last year's figure by 3%.

Goldman Sachs analysts predict an increase in commodity prices this year, based on central bank rate cuts worldwide. This forecast is supported by other market participants such as Macquarie Group and Carlyle Group.

FreshForex traders agree with the above factors: about 64% of positions are opened for long trades! Start earning too, trade with us!

JAPAN'S NIKKEI INDEX HITS HISTORIC HIGH!

The Nikkei 225 - Japan's key stock index comprising 225 companies from the Land of the Rising Sun listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. It is calculated as the arithmetic mean of their values. The index was introduced in 1950 and named after the newspaper that first applied such a calculation methodology to the Japanese stock market.

The Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) is one of the largest in the world, with over 2,000 companies represented, including brands known to everyone - Toyota, Sony, Mitsubishi, Nintendo, SoftBank, and many others. In terms of market capitalization, TSE is second only to the New York Stock Exchange.

The historic peak of #NIKKEI was reached on December 29, 1989, when the index rose to 38,957 points during the day's trading. And now, for the first time in 34 years, in our days, #NIKKEI has exceeded the 40,000-point mark.

FreshForex analysts point to the following factors driving the growth of the Japanese stock market in 2024:

• Strengthening of technology company stocks and reports of high corporate earnings,
• Investor optimism amid billionaire Warren Buffett's investment in major Japanese companies (Berkshire Hathaway holding),
• Exporter stocks supported by a weakening yen, increasing their profits in the national currency,
• Rising inflation to 2.8% - a radical change compared to the deflation of previous years when constant price declines negatively affected company profits.

Thanks to these factors, traders worldwide see increasing opportunities in the Japanese market.

In 2023, the Nikkei 225 gained 29%, marking the highest annual growth in a decade. And since the beginning of the current year, it has added another 22%, making the contract extremely attractive for investment.

HOW FRESHFOREX TRADERS PROFIT FROM THE DEPARTING WINTER?

Since the beginning of January 2024, the price of natural gas (#GAS) has been steadily following a bearish trend, nearly halving from $3.3 to $1.7!
FreshForex analysts continue to adhere to a short position strategy, and here are several factors influencing the current situation:

-Decrease in gas demand during mild weather,
-Concerns about excess supply, as the reduction in gas production by companies Chesapeake and EQT and the decrease in gas reserves by 9 billion cubic feet have not yet triggered a market reaction,
-Reduction in the gas consumption forecast in the US for 2024, announced by the Department of Energy,
-Pause by the Biden administration in implementing new gas projects to expand LNG production in the US.

Have price lows been reached, and is it time to buy, or will the #GAS contract continue to decrease in value?

Since the total gas reserves are 37% above the five-year average and 14% exceed the previous five-year maximum, experts believe that the situation may only change by summer when reserves approach normal levels.

However, a sharp price change may occur suddenly in the case of extreme heat or other unexpected circumstances that contribute to increased demand.

Keep an eye on the market and ignite your #GAS trades with FreshForex under the most favorable conditions - spreads from $1.51 and margin as low as $0.69 for a minimum trade of 0.01 lot!

Trade gas contracts!

Gold Hits Historical Record!

Gold is a precious metal classified as a protective asset. Traders commonly use gold for portfolio diversification and as a "safe haven" during economic downturns. In the long term, gold exhibits a steady upward trend and is suitable for investments with a horizon of 5-7 years or more. Simultaneously, due to its relatively high volatility, gold is also suitable for successful intraday speculative trading.

In January, global central banks doubled their gold purchases for their reserves. The Central Bank of Turkey and the People's Bank of China emerged as leading buyers. The demand for this precious metal from central banks may be a decisive factor in supporting prices in 2024.

On Wednesday, March 6, the XAUUSD price reached a new historical maximum of $2,149 per ounce. In just the last five trading sessions, gold has risen by over $100! The current forecast indicates a price movement towards $2,255 and beyond. Similar to Bitcoin, we predicted this growth in the news article "FreshForex Gold Alert" from November 21, 2023.

The increase in gold prices is also attributed to the interest of private investors and institutional funds in gold as a safe-haven asset for risk hedging. It is expected that this trend will continue in the coming years, making gold a very reliable investment.

Investing in gold is a time-tested possibility to earn in the market. Don't miss the chance to increase your capital with this noble metal!

TRADING SIGNALS: OCTOBER INFLATION IN THE US

What to expect this month, let's learn from our expert:

The University of Michigan reported an increase in inflation expectations of the population, which does not allow us to count on a rapid decline in inflation. This situation is positive for the dollar, as the US Federal Reserve will think about raising interest rates at the December meeting. On Tuesday it is preferable to open Sell GBPUSD, #NQ100, XAUUSD positions.

BUY ON RUMOURS: BITCOIN'S NEW SURGE

Dear clients,

Cryptocurrencies continued to rise in Asian trading on Tuesday, with bitcoin rising to nearly an 18-month high amid speculation about the imminent creation of an exchange-traded bitcoin fund.

The bitcoin exchange rate rose more than 6% to $35,198, its highest since May 2022. It rose 10% on Monday, its best performance in almost a year, and doubled its price in 2023.

Cryptocurrency-related stocks such as Coinbase Global (COIN.O) rose in over-the-counter trading.

An exchange-traded fund (ETF) that holds bitcoin on behalf of fund investors is seen as a demand driver, as it will allow those who don't want to trade in cryptocurrency markets to purchase bitcoin through the stock market.

Investment giant BlackRock is among several companies that have applied to set up bitcoin funds in the US, and speculation over their possible approval has been fuelled by the listing of BlackRock's iShares ETF on the DTCC clearing house website.

Expectations also rose after it was revealed this month that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will not appeal a court ruling that improperly rejected an ETF application from Grayscale Investments.

When and why the iShares ETF was added to the DTCC list was not specified. Last week, BlackRock denied an erroneous report that its ETF had been approved, and sources close to the SEC confirmed that the application was still under review.

THE SOUND OF SILENCE

Dear clients,

Poor lending data and weak purchasing managers' surveys confirmed what traders had already guessed: The rate hike cycle in Europe is over.

Markets believe there is little chance of a rate hike and see a recession on the horizon.

Absent surprises, trading is likely to hinge on earnings - Unilever (ULVR.L), Mercedes (MBGn.DE) and Amazon (AMZN.O) report on Thursday - and the behaviour of yields and the yen.

Google's disappointing results for its cloud division led to the sharpest drop in Alphabet shares since March 2020 on Wednesday, and they fell further in after-market trading in Asian hours.

The yen has surpassed the 150 per dollar mark and is now trading at its lowest level since Japanese authorities intervened last October to push the market higher.

On Wednesday, 10-year Treasury bond yields rallied towards 5% after a rise in US home sales gave further cause for concern about continued high interest rates. Nasdaq futures fell 1%.

"INACTION IS ACTION"

Interest rate brakes are fuelling optimism in markets.A sharp pullback in long-term US Treasury rates gave investors in the Asia-Pacific region a chance to exhale, with bond yields falling from decade highs in Tokyo and Sydney.

Stocks rebounded despite another sharp fall in Wall Street overnight, giving European investors cause for optimism. Japan's Nikkei index jumped 1.5% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng was not far behind.

Undoubtedly, the US dollar is still in the lead, but the yen at least retreated from a one-year low and the euro recovered after European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde announced a pause in the rate hike cycle, saying that "inaction is also action".

Some market recovery on Friday would be a good respite before a possible volatile marathon next week, when the Bank of Japan, the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England will make policy decisions on consecutive days.

The ECB has raised expectations that policy tightening in the US and UK has come to an end, making the Japan meeting potentially the most interesting. Perhaps for a central bank prone to surprises, the BOJ announcement will come on Halloween, with a weakening yen and rising yields fuelling speculation of another hawkish policy shift.

TRIAL BY INFLATION

Dear clients,

Barely have the markets began to get used to the idea of a dovish stance from the Fed, as the unpleasant data on US producer inflation threatens to rain on parade, making for a nervous wait of the consumer price data to be released later today.

For now, the unchanged and — for equity investors — very welcome statement from Fed officials that caution should be exercised before further rate hikes drowns out any concerns about the data.

Asia-Pacific stocks picked up the baton from Wall Street, with Japan's Nikkei and Hong Kong's Hang Seng both rising more than 1%.

But how quickly markets reversed earlier in the week shows how quickly they can pull back. Despite the dovish notes, the Fed's underlying message remains that rates will rise as much as necessary to contain inflation.

While the prospect of US bond yields returning to 16-year highs above 5% is certainly a risk, there is a sense that the ceiling could be lower, while safe-haven assets are currently in demand amid geopolitical risks.

It's a big day for UK data too, with GDP and industrial production data coming out first.

At its meeting last month, the Bank of England kept interest rates unchanged for the first time since the start of the interest rate tightening cycle in December 2021, but traders are putting the possibility of another rate hike before the end of the first quarter of next year at stake.

TRADING SIGNALS: SEPTEMBER INFLATION IN THE USA

Dear clients,

A closely watched US inflation report may help solve one of the most pressing questions among traders: whether the market has correctly identified the short-term trajectory of interest rates.

What to expect this month, let's learn from our expert:

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported an increase in inflation expectations of the population, which is favourable for the US dollar, as the Fed may then raise interest rates at its next meeting in November. On Thursday consider selling GBPUSD, #NQ100 and buying USDZAR, USDTRY.

FINAL BOSS OF MICROSOFT\ACTIVISION BLIZZARD

Dear clients,

The UK competition authority on Friday approved Microsoft's acquisition of "Call of Duty" game maker Activision Blizzard after earlier concerns were allayed by a restructuring of the deal.

Activision agreed to sell its streaming rights to Ubisoft Entertainment in August, and last month Microsoft proposed measures to ensure compliance with the terms of the deal, allowing the regulator to allay some residual concerns.

The approval will allow Microsoft to complete the deal by 18 October, after it extended the deadline by three months in July to get the UK clearance.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said Microsoft's concession on streaming was a "game changer" and added that it was the only competition organisation in the world to achieve such a result. 

"The new deal will not allow Microsoft to block competition in cloud gaming as this market evolves, keeping prices and services competitive for UK cloud gaming customers," it said in a statement.

Microsoft announced the biggest deal in gaming industry history in early 2022, but in April the $69bn acquisition was blocked by the CMA, concerned that the US computer giant would gain too much control over the nascent cloud gaming market.

CMA chief executive Sarah Cardell said: "We made it clear to Microsoft that the deal would be blocked unless they addressed all of our concerns and we stand by our judgement." She said the regulator, which has been given greater powers following the UK's exit from the European Union, makes decisions "without political influence" and will not be "subject to lobbying by corporations".

Microsoft expressed "gratitude for the CMA's careful consideration and judgement".

"We have now cleared the final hurdle to finalise a deal that we believe will benefit players and the gaming industry worldwide," said vice president and president Brad Smith.
