Earnings Calendar (14 Apr 2025) I am interested in the earnings of Goldman Sachs, Citi, Bank of America, United, ASML, TSMC and Netflix. Let us look at TSMC. The Technical Analysis has a “Strong Sell” rating, in contrast to the “Strong Buy” recommendation from Analysts Sentiments. The target price of 241.69 suggests a (potential) upside of over 53%. Below is the financial performance review using GROK: Revenue Growth Trend: TSMC's revenue has shown strong growth, increasing from $25.724 billion in 2015 to $88.552 billion in 2024. The 10-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for revenue is 13.8%, reflecting robust expansion. Key Milestones: Revenue growth was particularly strong in 2020 (34.3%) and 2021 (20.5%), driven by global demand for semiconductors. There was a slight decline of 6.3

Market Outlook of S&P500 - 14Apr25 Observations: The MACD indicator has yet to complete the bottom cross-over, which suggests a potential reversal. It is possible to range or go lower before the actual reversal. I prefer for MACD’s bottom crossover to be completed before acknowledging a reversal (as it forms a part of considerations). Moving Averages (MA). The MA50 line has started a downtrend, while the MA200 line is on an uptrend. This implies a downtrend in the mid-term and a bullish in the long term. We are seeing the setup of a Death Cross (when the MA50 line cuts the MA200 line from above). A death cross can be seen as a bearish indicator. Death Cross Definition: How and When It Happens Candle. The last candle is below the MA50 and MA200 lines, implying a bearish outloo

News and my thoughts from last week (14 Apr 25) Delinquent C&I loans rose by approximately 6.4% from the previous quarter and 19.8% year over year, reaching $31.04 billion – with a delinquency ratio of 1.31%. - DalyHodl Tim Cook explains why Apple manufactures products in China. The true reason is because of the skill, the quantity of skill in one location, and the type of skill it is. Not because of labor cost since China stopped being a low-labour-cost country many years ago. The Apple CEO elaborated on the advanced tooling and precision required to produce the products and highlighted China's vocational expertise in these areas. - X user by Shen Shiwei At the moment, Apple makes more than 80% of its products in China. Those products now receive a 145% tax when they’re imported into

Trump's Tariff Backtrack: Tech Giants Set to Surge—Is It Time to Buy? Trump Shows Signs of Compromise—Tech Gets a Break On Friday evening, the Trump administration delivered a welcome surprise for the tech industry: a new list of tariff exemptions covering key electronics like smartphones, computers, and semiconductors. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency rolled out the exclusions—effective retroactively from April 5 at 12:01 a.m. EDT—covering 20 product categories. This includes the 8471 code, which encompasses computers, laptops, and data processing equipment, as well as semiconductor devices, memory chips, and flat-panel displays. The decision offers a lifeline to tech giants like Apple $Apple(AAPL)$ 

Just when the markets started to find their footing, investors were hit with a double whammy: tariff reversals that threw trade optimism into uncertainty, and a surprise credit rating downgrade that rattled sentiment across risk assets. So now the million-dollar question is echoing louder than ever: Is this rally for real—or just another opportunity to sell before the next dip? Welcome to another episode of "Market Whiplash 2025". The Setup: Tariffs, Reversed It wasn’t long ago when the market celebrated optimism around easing trade tensions. But in true 2025 fashion, tariff policy did a U-turn, reigniting fears of global supply chain disruptions and denting corporate earnings expectations. Investors had priced in cooperation. Now they’re pricing in confrontation—again. Sectors with high C

$Apple(AAPL)$  In a market starved for positive headlines, Apple just delivered a juicy 6% rally, fueled by renewed optimism that it may be granted tariff exemptions amidst the ongoing U.S.–China trade tensions. As one of the most heavily watched and widely held stocks globally, Apple’s bounce has everyone asking the same question: Is it time to go long? Let’s break it down. The Catalyst: A Glimpse of Relief News broke that Apple is likely to receive exemptions from newly imposed tariffs on Chinese imports—a move that could protect its profit margins and stabilize its supply chain, both of which have been under pressure throughout recent quarters. While full details of the exemptions are still being finalized, invest

Gold just got another major upgrade from analysts, and this time, the price targets are eye-catching — $3500, some even whispering $4000. Is this just market hype, or is the precious metal about to enter a new golden era? With central banks continuing to hoard gold at record levels and global uncertainty showing no signs of fading, the case for a sustained gold rally is growing stronger. Inflation may be moderating, but interest rate cuts are back on the table. Add rising geopolitical risks and the dollar facing pressure from multiple fronts, and suddenly, gold’s allure as a safe haven becomes undeniable again. In Q1 alone, gold broke through multiple resistance levels with surprising ease, suggesting strong institutional demand beneath the surface. Retail interest, too, is making a comeba

Gold is shining brighter than ever, closing at $3,210.68 per ounce on April 14, 2025, with the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) at $296.23. Major banks have raised their year-end price targets, projecting gold could hit $3,500 or even $4,000. The rally is fuelled by inflation fears, geopolitical tensions, and central bank demand, but some wonder if gold is the ultimate recession trade. With potential for both upside and volatility, options trading offers a way to profit in any scenario. Let’s explore the outlook and three options trades: one bullish, one bearish, and one neutral. Why Gold’s Rally Has Legs Gold thrives as a safe-haven asset amid uncertainty. Persistent inflation, central banks stockpiling bullion, and a weakening dollar are key drivers. Analysts see gold reaching $3,500 by year-e
