The Market Screener

Artificial intelligence may be Wall Street's new religion, but faith alone won't paper over political chaos and economic data blackouts. Investors are cheering chipmakers and corporate megadeals as if the future were written in code, while Washington can't even keep the government open long enough to print the numbers. America's markets are soaring on optimism and opacity - a curious combination t...

After Thursday's sharp selloff, the steepest in more than three weeks, Wall Street found something to smile about. Optimistic forecasts from Apple and Amazon offered reassurance that America's corporate heavyweights can still deliver when it matters. Amazon's shares leapt in pre-market trading as its cloud division grew at the fastest rate in nearly three years. Apple also rose after predicting ro...

There was a time when investors could rely on the Federal Reserve for calm, Big Tech for growth, and trade diplomacy for a brief sense of order. This week, all three offered a reminder that stability is a moving target. America's central bank cut rates but hinted at uncertainty ahead, Silicon Valley dazzled and disappointed in equal measure, and Washington produced a "breakthrough" with Beijing th...

The Federal Reserve is about to cut interest rates again, but this time it's doing so with the lights half off. Thanks to Washington's latest government shutdown, much of the economic data that normally guides policymakers has stopped flowing. Jerome Powell must now steer the world's biggest economy using instinct and incomplete instruments... Hosted by Audiomeans. Visit audiomeans.fr/politique-de...

Markets are exhaling, but not relaxing. U.S. equity futures hovered just above record highs on Tuesday, buoyed by a swirl of trade diplomacy, central-bank suspense, and corporate recalibration. The immediate catalyst was a new U.S.-Japan framework on critical minerals, a small but symbolically potent step in the West's economic realignment around supply-chain security. Investors, however, have one...

There are moments when the global economy seems to exhale, as if a long, collective anxiety has briefly lifted. Monday's record-setting Wall Street futures offered such a moment. Stocks soared on whispers of a "framework" between Washington and Beijing—an echo of the fragile truces that have punctuated two decades of managed competition. It was not peace, but it was enough. The prospect of even a...

Inflation cooled slightly at at 3.0% in September, below expectations and offering a brief sigh of relief to investors hoping the Federal Reserve will proceed with a rate cut. Yet the figure underscores that price pressures remain, even as markets rally on strong corporate earnings. With geopolitics unsettled and data scarce amid a government shutdown, the Fed faces the uneasy task of steering pol...

Investors are staring at record valuations and wondering why they don't feel richer. Corporate America is delivering strong profits, yet enthusiasm has drained from the markets, replaced by a wary sort of disbelief. With Washington gridlocked, diplomacy uncertain, and even gold behaving nervously, Wall Street's new mood is one of success without satisfaction. Hosted by Audiomeans. Visit audiomeans...

After a burst of optimism at the start of the week, U.S. stock futures steadied Tuesday morning, suggesting that investors have decided to pause for breath before the next round of corporate confessionals. The timing makes sense. The third-quarter earnings season is now in full swing, and with the big names - Tesla, IBM, Procter & Gamble, Intel, and Ford - lining up to reveal their numbers, tr...

Global investors are stepping into the last stretch of October with a mixture of relief and unease. After weeks of turbulence, triggered by worries about regional banks, shifting trade rhetoric, and a U.S. government shutdown that has frozen key economic data, markets have managed to stay afloat. The paradox is striking: volatility is up, valuations are high, yet risk appetite endures. Hosted by A...

Bad news often comes in threes. This week, it appears to be arriving by the dozen. U.S. regional banks, trade tensions with China, a government shutdown, falling oil prices and a fresh semiconductor scare have all conspired to rattle investors' nerves. Wall Street's fear gauge has surged to its highest level in more than five months, and equity futures are sinking accordingly. The recent rally, fu...

Before the first bell rung in New York, traders are already parsing earnings from a Taiwanese chip colossus with the intensity of medieval monks poring over chicken entrails for signs of divine favor. This Thursday, TSMC once again obliged their obsession. With a record quarterly profit and a raised revenue forecast, the world's most advanced chipmaker provided what markets have been craving: a re...

While Washington flirts with the idea of banning Chinese cooking oil, corporate results are sizzling on both sides of the Atlantic. Investors still wager that Donald Trump and Xi Jinping will eventually find common ground, though they increasingly suspect the road to a deal will be more winding than once hoped. Into this uncertain mix stepped Jerome Powell, who soothed financiers with another dovi...

The relationship between the United States and China is complicated: profitable, tense, and one disagreement away from another tariff tantrum. This week, that tension has returned with a vengeance. Washington and Beijing have begun slapping additional port fees on shipping firms, covering everything from holiday toys to crude oil, reviving trade frictions just as investors had started to breathe e...

Donald Trump can move markets with fewer words than most central bankers use in a footnote. A single post on Truth Social is enough to send traders scrambling for either champagne or shelter. Friday brought panic, as his vow to impose 100% tariffs on Chinese exports sent the S&P 500 and Nasdaq tumbling in their steepest weekly declines in months. By Monday morning, relief had arrived. Not thro...

After weeks of relentless upward motion, Wall Street seems to have remembered how to stand still. The blistering rally that has carried U.S. equities higher in recent months has slowed to a pause, as traders await fresh clues about the health of the economy. Yesterday, the main Wall Street indices ended down between 0.1% and 0.5%. This morning's spotlight falls on an unlikely star: consumer sentim...

Markets may have been hanging on every syllable for a signal, but Powell offered none, leaving traders to chart their own course. In a week short on official data and long on speculation, corporate earnings, gold prices, and overseas rallies are stepping in to fill the Fed-shaped void. Hosted by Audiomeans.

Markets are marching higher, even as Washington stalls, gold soars past $4,000, and AI costs climb faster than expected. It's a moment where optimism, anxiety, and opportunity collide, and investors are betting they can ride the wave without getting caught in the undertow. Hosted by Audiomeans.

Wall Street's record highs are setting the stage for a market moment that’s as surreal as it is unstoppable. Even with a government shutdown delaying key data, the Fed navigating with limited visibility, and political tremors shaking France, investors remain entranced by the AI-fueled boom propelling giants like AMD and Nvidia. Across continents, from Tokyo to Paris, the forces shaping this rally...

Wall Street, it seems, only has eyes for artificial intelligence and interest-rate cuts. Futures on major U.S. stock indexes were up, modestly but confidently, even as the federal government lurched into the sixth day of a shutdown. Markets, it seems, have chosen to look past Washington's dysfunction and instead fixate on the promise of AI and the possibility of cheaper money. It's a combination t...

U.S. stock futures were pointing upward early Friday morning, lifted by a heady mix of optimism and caffeine: investors have convinced themselves that the Federal Reserve is preparing to cut rates, and soon. After a week of political gridlock and economic data drought, hope has stepped in to do the heavy lifting. Hosted by Audiomeans. Visit audiomeans.fr/politique-de-confidentialite for more infor...

Optimism is the softest currency on Wall Street, and this week, it's being traded at a premium. Futures tied to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq advanced on renewed hope that the Federal Reserve might finally deliver the rate cut traders have been pining for. All it took was a weak private payrolls number, an economic blemish recast as a badge of honor. If the logic sounds upside down, that's because it...

The United States is once again staging a familiar drama: the federal government has shut down. The consequences this time, however, extend beyond furloughed workers and locked office doors. The problem is the data. At the very moment when the Federal Reserve is weighing when to cut interest rates, the shutdown threatens to halt the flow of economic reports, the very signals the Fed depends on to...

Markets thrive on certainty, yet Washington keeps supplying drama instead. In the fog that follows, confidence wavers, leaving investors to navigate on little more than instinct... Hosted by Audiomeans. Visit audiomeans.fr/politique-de-confidentialite for more information.

Markets began the week with a curious blend of optimism and unease, as investors brushed aside Washington's familiar budget brinkmanship long enough to push futures higher. Yet traders know the world’s largest economy may soon be flying blind, with the Federal Reserve stripped of the very data it claims to need. Hosted by Audiomeans.
