Big Tech is back in the spotlight! Amazon’s $200B AI and infrastructure spending plan sparked an 11% after-hours tumble. Nasdaq futures are down, the USD steadies after a soft Asia session, and the yen hovers just below 157 ahead of Japan’s snap election. Gold and silver are bouncing, Bitcoin slipped below $60K, and FX and equities are dancing to a cautious tune. We’re coming toward the end of a h...

Big Tech’s earnings season is delivering record numbers — but the market isn’t impressed. Their spending plans spook investors that scream: “Stop spending.” This tension is now the defining theme of the AI trade. Tech giants argue they must invest to meet soaring demand and AI-fueled computing needs, while investors are drawing the line. Even stellar earnings can’t always keep stocks aloft if the...

The relief in metals faded fast as Anthropic unveiled a new AI tool aimed at automating legal and research work, triggering a brutal selloff in software and data providers. Broader tech felt the heat too! AMD reported strong earnings after the bell, yet shares dropped 8% in afterhours, highlighting how the market is reassessing AI upside and pricing. Meanwhile, geopolitical tensions between the US...

Gold and silver are in free fall, Asia is selling, and leveraged positions are getting flushed faster than I can finish my sentence. Silver, which raced ahead of gold on the rally, is now leading the correction, while gold tests key technical support levels. But this isn’t just about metals — the US dollar is rebounding, yields are shifting, and markets are grappling with what comes next from the...

Metals stole the show this week, delivering wild swings that left traders dizzy. Gold surged to fresh highs before an equally brutal selloff erased gains in minutes, with silver and copper following the same volatile script. Speculation, positioning and rising stress indicators all played a role, reminding investors that parabolic rallies rarely move in straight lines. Beyond metals, FX markets ar...

Precious metals are going through the roof while Bitcoin is stagnating.

The Fed maintained rates unchanged at yesterday’s decision and Chair Powell spoke of “clear improvement” in the US outlook and a ‘steadying’ job market, hinting that the rate cuts are not on the menu for a few more months. But we know that AI investment is what’s driving a part of the economic strength and it’s not necessarily creating jobs – on a net basis. Speaking of which, Meta, Microsoft and...

The US dollar is sliding, gold and silver are climbing, and global markets are quietly learning to look elsewhere. Trade deals with India, Mercosur and China are showing that allies and investors alike are diversifying away from the US, while European and Asian equities shrug off tariff threats. On the Fed front, Jerome Powell sticks to the data, ignoring the political chatter outside the Fed’s do...

Monday started calm for US and European equities, but precious metals continue to shine — swinging between speculative frenzy and solid fundamentals. Volatility is high, hinting at a possible pullback, yet US debt, a politically boxed-in Fed, and a weakening dollar keep the long-term outlook for gold and silver bullish. Meanwhile, AI headlines flow in before earnings. One year after DeepSeek’s lau...

Gold spikes past $5’000 per ounce, silver past $100. Markets are sending a clear message: investors are nervous. Even without fresh geopolitical shocks, capital is flowing into precious metals, signaling that stress is far from over. Equities staged a tentative rebound, but it’s fragile, leaving the question: where will the next shock hit? This week’s busy calendar — central-bank decisions, big co...

Gold just went berserk — blasting past $4,950 while risk appetite stubbornly refuses to show up. Equities tried to rally, tech stocks flirted with gains, but investors are still biting their nails. Inflation, global jitters, and central bank caution are keeping everyone on edge… and that’s why gold is shining brighter than ever. On the tech side, the memory chip makes amass capital but their valua...

The US President spoke at Davos yesterday, and Greenland remarks didn’t spark the chaos many expected. Markets shrugged and bounced — a classic example of “TACO trade”. US tech led the gains, with Nvidia jumping after CEO Jensen Huang said scaling AI infrastructure will take trillions in investment. Disco Corp surged, and South Korea’s Kospi hit fresh highs. Gold dipped slightly but remained firm,...

Markets are shaken by a potent mix of geopolitics and bond market stress. Rising tensions between the US and Europe over Greenland collide with a sharp selloff in Japanese government bonds, sending shockwaves across global assets. Yields rise, volatility returns and investors are forced to rethink what still qualifies as a safe haven. The Greenland discussions will be in focus today, as US Preside...

Europe started the week in a sour mood as trade tensions with the US heat up. With Wall Street closed, European equities tried to gauge the risks — German carmakers and French luxury houses like Louis Vuitton were the first casualties. US futures point lower too, with tech under the microscope: Big Tech could become Europe’s target if the trade spat escalates. Meanwhile, miners are quietly shining...

Week 3 of 2026 kicks off with another major twist: US wants to buy Greenland and it’s imposing tariffs on nations that are opposed to the idea, adding to Europe’s security concerns. While Europe has so far absorbed trade shocks calmly, selective pressure on only some countries could provoke very different reactions. Could this be the last drop in Europe’s patience? Markets are already feeling the...

A very strong week for cryptos but what is really needed for Bitcoin to reach 150k in this cycle? 00:00 Intro 00:26 Disclaimer 00:30 Preview 00:51 Bitcoin 05:37 Ethereum 07:25 Solana 08:35 Subscribe & Good bye #crypto #cryptonews #cryptotrading #swissquote _____ 👉 Discover our brand and philosophy: https://www.swissquote.com/en/group _____ 👉 Deepen your trading and investing knowledge with Swiss...

AI headlines are back in focus, but this earnings season may be less about hype and more about scrutiny. Strong results from TSMC and a broad rally in semiconductor stocks reminded markets of AI’s growth potential, yet underlying risks remain. From complex financing structures at Meta to revenue recognition timing at Nvidia, investors are increasingly examining the quality behind the numbers. Risi...

US crude tumbles, silver plunges, and copper pulls back — all while the geopolitical heat from Iran cools slightly. But in tech, the cost story is just heating up. Nvidia’s H200 chips can now be sold to China, but a 25% fee collected when the chips pass through the US raises costs. China, meanwhile, has effectively halted H200 imports, adding another layer of uncertainty. TSMC beats earnings expec...

US markets are holding near record highs, but the mood is anything but settled. While US inflation data came in largely as expected, easing some immediate pressure on the Fed, political noise is creeping back into the pricing of rates, bonds and currencies. Expectations for a March rate cut are fading, yields are staying elevated, and concerns over Fed independence are largely in focus. Earnings s...

The year is racing ahead, and markets are feeling every bump. Oil swung wildly last week after the U.S. operation in Venezuela, with Exxon saying the country was “un-investable” — only for Trump to push back. Energy ETFs fluctuated near record highs, crude tested key technical levels, but bullish bets remain historically low. Meanwhile, Jerome Powell faces Justice Department scrutiny over Fed HQ r...

Global markets are losing momentum as the first full trading week of the year comes to an end. Big Tech is wobbling, with Nvidia slipping below its 50-day moving average and the Magnificent Seven struggling to find their footing. At the same time, defence stocks are back in favour after Donald Trump revived calls for a massive increase in US military spending, while energy names brush off weak oil...

A strong start for cryptos in 2026, but will it be enough for an ATH. 00:00 Intro 00:23 Disclaimer 00:27 Preview 00:47 Bitcoin 04:25 Ethereum 06:13 Ripple 07:31 Subscribe & Good bye #crypto #cryptonews #cryptotrading #swissquote _____ 👉 Discover our brand and philosophy: https://www.swissquote.com/en/group _____ 👉 Deepen your trading and investing knowledge with Swissquote Inspire: explore our a...

The markets are dancing to a wild tune this week. The S&P 500 wobbled after mixed US data. Energy swings continue, fueled by headlines about Venezuela’s oil and other happenings on the geopolitical scene. Also, the White House is stepping into corporate affairs in ways that make investors squirm — from Nvidia’s China sales to defence dividends. Elsewhere, tensions rise as China restricts exports t...
