Essential sharemarket insight delivered every morning by the market strategists of share-trading platform moomoo Australia and New Zealand. We cover the latest news, explore trends, and cover three investments in our daily watchlist.

Amazon has surprised with a market-beating result and stronger-than-expected forecast. It's shares surged by double-digits post market, countering a sizeable slide in the Nasdaq Composite index overnight, explains moomoo's Michael McCarthy. And Australian retailers, such as Wesfarmers, are in trouble as their shares head down.

Expect a short-term market pullback with central banks in the US and Australia now less likely to cut rates as they face the difficult challenge of keeping inflation and employment balanced. Investors should rethink what they expect of their investment portfolio and even whether it's time to sell some big gaining stocks.

US markets leapt to new highs overnight, with the world's most valuable company, Nvidia, rising 5% to a new valuation of nearly US$5 trillion. Announcing new deals, and recording bigger orders, its leadership in the artificial intelligence sector appears to be ensured for years to come. That means any pullback in its shares may be a good buying opportunity.
Qualcomm shares surged more than 10% overnight on news it's moving into AI chips and already has major global customers. It's the latest in a series of AI chipmakers taking on Nvidia in a challenge for this trillion-dollar territory. It was part of the overnight jump in markets as investors enjoy anticipation of a US rate cut, and cessation of hostile US-China trade talk.
There's high expectations as five of the mega-cap US tech stocks report results this week. From Google to Amazon, focus will be on their AI spending and plans, with investors keen to justify the huge market hype for the sector, and see some solid returns. Any rate cut in the US this week will add fuel to keep the hot market burning along.
We've seen one of the highest-volume trading days on the sharemarket this year, with investors rushing to buy the dip. Oil, cryptocurrencies and equities are up. Whether they stay that way depends on the US Federal Reserve's decision on rates and results from most of the magnificent seven big technology stocks next week.

Tesla and Netflix both failed to deliver to market expectations this week, reporting on their performance in the past quarter. That's spurred worry we'll see a trend in US tech giants' missing goals — we'll see more next week. But now, meme-trading frenzy is only adding to current pullback signs, says moomoo's Jessica Amir.

The gold price just had its biggest fall since 2013, falling more than 5% overnight. Without a clear reason for the sell off, speculation abounds whether it will rally back or fall below US$4000 an ounce. Australian miners this morning are routing on the news, with some falling more than 10% after the market open.

With global sharemarkets rising substantially yesterday and overnight to highs we're seeing real indication of returning sharemarket confidence, says moomoo's Michael McCarthy. That applies double to rare earths stocks following the US$8.5 billion US-Australia deal. But not Bitcoin, which has plummeted in the past two weeks and could dip below USS$100,000.
While the US market overcame mounting China trade tension to close up 1.7% last week, Hong Kong didn't. The region's benchmark sharemarket index, the Hang Seng, fell 4% led by the technology giants, such as Xiaomi, which fell 8% for the week. This followed the previous week's fall of 3% in the Hang Seng. Is this big drop in China's technology giants a buying opportunity?
Volatility is spiking as investors fret over US banks reporting credit problems. It has offset strong earnings reports from big financial companies and dragged the whole market down. Could even lead to a correction, says moomoo's Jessica Amir. But gold is steadily rising, with the spot price now surpassing US$4300 – and it remains a key defensive investment.
This week's astonishing rally in rare earths stocks could be one of the biggest macro market themes building this quarter. Last week China imposed export licensing rules, essentially restricting trade. As Australia, the US and allied nations scramble a response, rare earths stocks in those markets have soared.

US President Donald Trump's trade talk against China turned hostile again, sinking US technology shares, such as Nvidia, which dragged down the market. The opposite is true for miners and precious metals, with gold and now silver at all-time highs. Silver has gained more than 70% this year, reaching a 45-year record high, surpassing gold.
Watchlist: Global X Silver Miners ETF, ASML Holding, LVMH Moët Hennessy
Markets are rising after the US president softened his tone against China. But the US government remains shutdown, so big finance stocks reporting tonight are extra important, not only for their extraordinarily strong growth expectations, but insight into the nation's economy. And gold has exceeded US$4100, with Aussie miners making strong gains.
Watchlist: Blackrock, Broadcom, ANZ Bank

The Australian market is down this morning after a fairly safe week of trading in the sharemarket was shattered on Friday with the US and China resuming their high-stakes trade war. Proposed retaliatory tariffs from the US sent investors scrambling out of high risk assets, and stocks plummeted. Expect the week to be dominated by the fallout from their rare earths standoff.
Watchlist: Nvidia, South32, MP Materials
As Nvidia jumps 1.8% to return to highs, despite a US market dip overnight, moomoo's Michael McCarthy says appetite for AI stocks just keeps surging. But Microsoft is now warning there are not enough data centres to keep up with AI demand into next year, and supply won't step up for some time, explains Jessica Amir.
Watchlist: VanEck Gold Miners Equity ETF, Guzman y Gomez, James Hardie
The US dollar is surging, taking back ground since tariffs sent it reeling. It's investors' global vote of confidence in the US economy, matching a jump in the Nasdaq overnight, which saw Nvidia near highs. Gold has passed the US$4000 milestone, with its own all-time high, amid talk of US$5000 the next target to hit. And silver is a hair's breadth from its 2011 high.

Oracle led the US market down overnight, the stock dipped 2.5%, after reports its cloud business wasn't as profitable or healthy as thought. That resounded across US technology stocks and the AI sector particularly. Fresh, strong doubts about the real profitability and long-term sustainability of high valuations surfaced, with sentiment split.
Watchlist: Dell Technologies, Tesla, Greatland Resources

The market is riding momentum from strong performances in gold and technology. Overnight, the Nasdaq-100 gained 0.78%, led by chipmaker AMD and news of its big deal with OpenAI. That was part of a broad-based surge, with gold, Japanese stocks, and Bitcoin all pushing to fresh highs. This week we will see PepsiCo report, as third-quarter reporting season in the US gets underway.
Watchlist: Advanced Micro Devices, Westgold Resources,...
The US government shutdown loomed over markets, but traders took it in stride, with stocks turning green in the final hour of trade. The US dollar strengthened, gold slipped, and copper surged to a 12-month high on stronger demand.
Today's watchlist: Nvidia, BHP, Tesla
