Essential daily market insight delivered every morning by the market strategists of share-trading platform moomoo Australia. Stay up to date on what’s happened in global markets and what to expect on the ASX.
US markets jumped overnight, with the Nasdaq Composite up 2.5%, while the market fear index, VIX, is near a four-week low. This is down to US companies showing strong results part-way through reporting season, and talk of tariff war de-escalation. Bitcoin has rallied strongly in the past two weeks. The local market is also stronger, but some key sectors such as uranium stocks are performing poorly.

US market regained Monday losses, rising 2.5% overnight due to talk of US trade deals, potential rate cuts, as well as strong reports. Tesla jumped 4.6% after posting quarterly results, with expectations rising. Iron ore is up. And moomoo strategist Jessica Amir traces how the Nasdaq has bounced back from its crashes.
Securities mentioned include Tesla, Fortescue and SPDR S&P 500 ETF.
US market slid on Monday with the Nasdaq-100 down 2.5%. This indicates investors are turning from the US market, despite companies reporting better-than-expected earnings results. One asset they're turning to is gold, with the price reaching a new high of US$3442. Locally, the ASX 200 slipped nearly 1% after open. Investors should watch for greater volatility in Tesla, which will report tonight.
Securities mentioned include Macquar...
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell delivered his first remarks since the introduction of tariffs by President Trump, sparking a swift and sharp market reaction. His assertion that markets are “functioning just as you would expect” and his firm denial of a so-called “Fed Put” rattled investor confidence.
With the longest bull market now on shaky ground, Powell’s message marked a clear departure from expectations of central bank sup...
US markets were largely flat overnight in a calm session of trading. But don't be fooled, this could be the eye of the storm, as the US and China are in a stand off as their trade war continues. Gold remains at a high, so investors continue to seek safe assets. Today we're likely to see a similar calm trading day, maybe edging up or down. China's GDP data out today will be a focus for investors.
US stocks lifted again overnight and are now up 14% from April 7 lows of only a week ago. Aussie stocks are similarly up and we should expect a slight lift again in the ASX today. With the US central bank labelling inflation from tariffs as 'transitory' there's expectancy for 1% in rate cuts this year. And the VIX shows investor fear has declined significantly. All that means we may see an upswing. Those carefully choosing stocks c...
US shares rallied last week, with indications that could continue this week. Major US banks, including BlackRock, released better-than-expected results Friday, with more reporting this week. Continuing strong earnings would be a big boost for the sharemarket but tariff policy changes look set to increase investor uncertainty. Gold remains the stand out asset for performance, and that's very likely to continue.

US markets huge selloff overnight, with the S&P 500 falling 3.5%, and all sectors under pressure. Big tech stocks and the auto sector underwent deep decline. Oil, US bonds and the US dollar also declined. The selloff carried over to Australian stocks today, falling more than 2% at open. Gold remained a 'safe haven' climbing above US$3200 .
The US suspended most of its higher tariffs for 90 days, reassuring investors who saw US stocks make their biggest one-day gains in more than 15 years, lead by Nvidia, Tesla and Apple. But commodity stocks are under pressure with China announcing 84% tariffs on US imports, and the US setting 125% tariffs on China imports.
Stocks mentioned include Nvidia, Tesla, Apple and Ansell.
The high level of uncertainty in global markets will almost certainly continue to drive stocks down. This could repeat their performance during the pandemic of a 37% fall. US earnings season begins with banks this week. Companies' earnings are likely to be downgraded. They're also likely to limit spending and headcount. All this is bad news for share price performance. The economic outlook is also dimming, which will affect consump...
Sharemarkets slumped overnight in a session of intense volatility. The Hong Kong market fell 13% led down by EV makers BYD, Xiaomi and Geely, while Alibaba dropped 18%. The US is threatening China with an additional 50% tariff unless it rescinds its retaliatory tariffs. All while the US continues to negotiate with other countries, a process that could take until June. The ASX is up more than 1% today

The S&P 500 nosedived almost 6% on Friday, to 5,074.08, its biggest drop in the post-Covid era. This is far worse than how the markets fared in Trump’s first trade wars in 2018. We are seeing pandemic-level selling right now.
The fear gauge (VIX) surging to a level of 45.6, which we have not seen since the pandemic, is evidence that we're not at the bottom yet. So now the question is, will stocks fall 30% like they did when Cov...
Trillions of dollars has been slashed off markets, investor fear is at its highest in months and more pain is on the way as nation's prepare tariffs in retaliation to the US. We have three considerations for investors in this hostile terrain. Securities mentioned include SPDR Gold ETF and iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond.
Sweeping US tariffs across the globe have pushed the US market down more than 3% after hours. Big tech stocks are plummeting, with Apple falling 7%, Amazon more than 6%. Australian beef exporters Elders, Australian Agricultural may suffer from US beef tariffs, with shares dropping at open. @JessicaDAmir says to expect widespread 'carnage' from higher US tariffs, especially the extra 34% on China announced today.

US stocks are up overnight, following the climb in the ASX yesterday, as the April rally continues. Focus is on the US with tariff announcements expected from the White House tonight, to take effect tomorrow. With US earnings reporting from first quarter 2025 about to begin, we may get a taste of the real impact of some of those tariffs. Locally, we may expect stocks to rise, but uranium miners are dipping, with Labor firming as th...
US stocks moved higher overnight with the S&P 500 up 0.55%, in what could be a more positive month ahead. But signs indicate the US and Australian economies are stagflationary, so focus on resilient asset such as gold and quality stocks in this environment.
Securities mentioned: VanEck Gold Miners ETF, Global X Defence Tech ETF, iShares China Large-Cap ETF
With the Nasdaq has fallen almost 5% since last Tuesday, as investors move out of high risk and technology stocks, there three areas shaping up as priorities for investors in 2025: gold, high-dividend stocks and international markets.

There's a few simple indications that identify a market or stock has potentially reached its bottom in value, and may be about to recover. 1. Prices stop falling, which triggers buying which pushes prices back up (tell this by looking at 'moving average convergence divergence') 2. Investors lose their fear, which is when markets move to higher levels (tell this by looking at the VIX index) 3. Risky stocks start to rise (despite bad...
US stocks dipped overnight, led by GM falling 7%, with 25% car tariffs to hit next week. Investors are focused on April 2 for that announcements and further tariffs, markets are in a malaise until then. Investors are now seeking 'safety assets', with silver, gold, copper all rising to highs. Uranium stocks will be in focus as the Australian election campaign is now underway.
Securities mentioned: General Motors, Ford Motor, Toyota ...
