Market Update – November 14

• The USD Index closed at 106.389 but had tumbled to a low of 106.28 from an overnight high of 108.44. It’s down from 112.93 on the November 3 FOMC day. Stocks extended gains at the Friday’s close with another solid session, albeit in choppy action amid worries over the bankruptcy of FTX. Yields – 10-year Treasury yield is up 6.7 bp at 3.88%, EGB yields are correcting from the highs seen on Friday, although, the ECB remains on course to tighten rates beyond neutral and start QT next year.
• EUR – above parity at 1.0320.
• JPY – sideways at 139.50
• GBP – turned below 1.1800
• Stocks – US100 to a 1.88% surge, while the US500 was up 0.92%. The US30 edged up 0.1%. The components of the US500 were mixed but a 3% pop in energy and a 2.46% jump in consumer discretionary sectors helped overcome losses in health care and utilities. Today, stocks struggled a bit and corrected some of last week’s gains, although China bourses got a boost from official directives aimed to support the ailing property sector, which added to the slight easing of virus restrictions that were announced last week. Hang Seng and CSI 300 are currently up 1.8% and 0.2% respectively, after Nikkei and ASX closed with losses of -1.1% and -0.2%, weighed down by financials. GER40 and UK100 futures are up 0.2% and 0.1%.
• Reuters reported that Chinese regulators have told financial institutions to extend more support to property developers to shore up the struggling real estate sector.
• USOil – at $88.40.
• Gold – had its best week since March, while currently holds gains at  1763.
• BTC – slipping into the $16,000 area again.

Q3 earnings season: Home Depot Inc.

Home Depot, Inc. is a retailer of building and home improvement goods and products. It sells building materials, home renovation products, lawn and garden products, and home décor items. The company operates in three geographic segments: the United States, Canada and Mexico. It provides home improvement installation services, as well as tool and equipment rental.

The company has a market capitalization of $293.55B and will release its earnings results for the fiscal quarter ending October 2022 this Tuesday, November 15th before the market opens.

Zacks ranks Home Depot Rank #3 (Hold) in the Top 23% at #57/252 in the Building Products – Retail industry. For this report, EPS is expected at 4.11 (4.85% y/y) and for the fiscal year at 16.67. Earnings are expected to be 37.93B with an ESP of 0%, which would be a y/y growth of 3.02%. The estimate has had 1 downward and 0 upward revisions in the last 60 days. HD has a P/E ratio of 17.23 and a PEG ratio of 1.53. The company has reported results below the estimate only 1 time in the last 20 reports, in May 2020.

Last quarter the company reported EPS of $5.05 and revenue of $43.79B.

Home Depot Sales reported and Preview
Fuente: money.cnn.com

HD’s third-quarter results likely benefited from continued strong demand for home improvement projects, a strong housing market and continued investment. The company’s average ticket price has increased due to high-value purchases by homebuilders. In this regard, a 6.1% increase in the average ticket is expected, compared to a 2.5% decrease in the number of customer transactions.

HD has benefited significantly from the execution of its One Home Depot programme, which focuses on supply chain expansion, technology investments and digital enhancement. The company’s connected retail strategy and underlying technology infrastructure have been steadily driving web traffic. Growth in digital sales is expected in line with the digital momentum along with Pro and DIY customers.

However, Home Depot could face continued cost pressures in the quarter, driven by inflation, supply chain dynamics and the consumer spending environment amid the recession.

Higher transportation costs, investments in its supply chain and product mix have resulted in a higher cost of goods sold, leading to a lower gross margin expected to be down more than 30%. Higher inventory levels and interest expenses are expected to impact results.

Technical Analysis – Home Depot D1 – $312.26

#HomeDepot D1

#HomeDepot had a bearish outlook during the year until reaching a low of 164.10 in June from where it made a strong upward push to a high of 332.89 before returning to this low again. Currently the price has recovered approximately 70% of the fall with a strong bullish momentum at yesterday’s close trading above 300.0, the 200-day SMA at 302.65 and the 61.8% Fibo at 307.15.

In the case of promising results the price could reach the current highs at 332.89 and even surpass them along with the previous highs of March at 340.44 to head towards 350.00 and if surpassed to the February highs at 374.66.

If not there could be a bounce off the 78.6%-88.6% Fibo retracement ranging from 318.47–325.21 back to the aforementioned lows. If there is a break of this low zone, the price could reach the February 2021 lows at 246.38.

ADX at 17.86 +Di at 22.45 -DI at 13.47, no marked trend after relaxing the downtrend initiated from the 420.29 highs in December 2021.

FOMO Fridays: DAX Breaks Out

US CPI Shock Ignites Equities As we round out another week in financial markets we’re certainly not short of interesting price moves to comment on. This week has seen a slew of key trading developments on the back of the US midterms, US CPI release and changes in China’s COVID policy. Talking with traders ahead of the week, it seems the big move that everyone is focused on is the breakout in equities. While US markets have certainly benefited from the drop in the Dollar, the star of the show this week has been the DAX. So, let’s take a look at what’s caused the move and, as always, if you caught it? Well done! If you missed it? There’s always next week!What Caused the Move?Dollar DropThe big driver behind the breakout in the DAX this week has been the improvement in risk sentiment linked to a weaker US Dollar. With US inflation having dropped by .5% in October, falling back to 7.7% annually from 8.2% prior, the US Dollar fell sharply as traders began pricing in a smaller .5% hike from the Fed in December. The impact of this shift has been clearly visible across markets this week with risk assets soaring as USD fell.Gas Prices Falling Along with the drop in the US Dollar, the DAX has also been boosted by the ongoing drop in European gas prices. The spike in gas prices over the summer was one of the key economic threats to the eurozone and with those prices now subsiding quickly, the outlook for eurozone businesses and households is improving somewhat. There are hopes that lower energy prices will help tame rampant inflation and, on the back of US inflation softening, traders are anticipating a similar cooling of consumer prices in the single market in coming months which should allow scope for the ECB to hit the brakes on its tightening program, or at least slow its pace.Technical ViewsDAXThe rally in the DAX this week has seen the market breaking out above the 13672.31 level. The index is now pushing above the 14170.79 level and, with both MACD and RSI bullish here, the focus is on a continuation higher towards the 14703.98 level next. The near-term view remains bullish while 14170.79 holds as support with the index now looking to carve out a fuller bullish reversal.

Daily Market Outlook, November 11, 2022

Daily Market Outlook, November 11, 2022 “Asian markets surged higher overnight, taking their lead from mammoth gains in US markets, with US equity markets adding three trillion dollars of value as US inflation softened. US CPI came in at 7.7% down from the prior print of 8.2%, with the core metric (excluding energy & food) coming in at 6.3% down from 6.6%. The softer data saw a ‘bad news, good news’ response from markets,, risk appetite abounded as markets viewed the data as giving cover to the FOMC to slow the rate of rate hikes and potentially lower the terminal rate, the Dollar dived, with the Yen advancing the most in a single session since 1998 as US yields collapsed.

Q3 Earnings Season: Walmart Inc.

Walmart Inc., is one of the world’s largest supermarket chains, offering food, apparel, furniture, pharmaceuticals, electronics and home appliances among many other things. Walmart has a market capitalisation of $386.64B and is the fifth favourite brand behind only Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Apple and above Meta. The retail giant will release earnings results for the fiscal quarter ending October 2022 next Tuesday, November 15 before the market opens.

Walmart BPA Fuente: nasdaq.com

Zacks, ranks Walmart at Rank #3 (Hold) and in the 43% Fund Rank (#143/252) in the Retail-Supermarkets industry. For this report, EPS is expected at 1.31 (-9.66% YoY) and for the fiscal year-end at 5.85 (-9.4% YoY). Earnings are expected to be 147.34B (4.85% YoY) with an ESP of -0.25% and for the FY it is 600.74B (4.9% YoY). The estimate has had 1 downward and 1 upward revision in the last 60 days. WMT has a P/E ratio of 24.37 and a PEG ratio of 4.43.

The company reported results below the estimate in only 4 out of the last 20 reports, the last 2 reports ago. Last quarter the company reported EPS of $1.77 and revenues of $151.86B (+8.4%). During the last month profitability increased by 7.6%.

WMT ventas reportadas y previsión. Fuente: money.cnn

Walmart has the same challenges as many other companies. Inflation, which remains a major factor, continues to be in the public eye, with Thursday’s report showing that US inflation fell from 8.2% to 7.7%, a drop that could be reflected in easing consumer spending amid the economic downturn (which is favourable for omnichannel strategists like Walmart) that has engulfed the last few quarters. Although inflation declined, food and transportation rose 0.7% last month and are up 10.6% and 11.2% year-on-year respectively.

WMT has focused on increasing its e-commerce on par with its physical shops, with exclusive discounts for customers giving them the option to cut costs even while shopping at its 10,500 shops equally helping with currency fluctuations that also affect the company and the increased competition from Amazon and Target.

Operating costs continue to rise, but Walmart looks stronger than other companies thanks to its geographic clustering of shops and the fact that the company also distributes a large amount of gasoline to its customers, thus somewhat neutralising the cost of transportation with the rising price of fuel from its pumps.

The company has also focused on expanding its international operations with a presence in Canada, Chile, China, India, Mexico, Africa and Central America while operating its main supercentres along with Sam’s Clubs nationwide.

Walmart has also boosted its healthcare arm “Walmart Health” that debuted in 2019, which also includes a growing subscription service.

In other business, Walmart signed a partnership with Paramount in the shift to this quarter. Customers with Walmart+ memberships, in addition to their existing in-store, gas, InHome, grocery or music (Spotify) benefits, will also have access to a Paramount+ Essential subscription at no additional cost. This plan will give them access to a variety of popular content, from sagas like “Star Trek” to movies and children’s programming. That membership costs $98 a year and will include the Paramount+ subscription for an additional $60. Walmart has also talked to Disney and Comcast for other partnerships, according to the NYT.

Walmart+ has seen positive membership growth since its launch in September 2020. Walmart+ is estimated to average approx. 21.5 million members.

Technical Analysis – Walmart D1 – $142.36

WMT.s D1

Walmart price fell from highs at 160.74 to leave lows at 117.17 from where it has recovered more than 50% of the fall in the form of an ascending channel with test 2 days ago at 61.8% Fibo at 144.10.

Negative data could make the price bounce off the upward channel guideline near the 38.2% at 133.81 and the 100-period D1 SMA at 132.29, and in the case that the psychological level of 130.00 is broken there could be a continuation of the downward momentum from April-May to the lows of the aforementioned channel.

Otherwise, there could be a bullish impulse to move up to the resistance zone bounded by the psychological level at 150.00 at 78.6% at 151.42 and from there to the 88.6% Fibo highs at 155.77 to the current historical highs at 160.74.

Market Spotlight: Gold & US CPI

US CPI Up Next Today’s US CPI release will be the main attraction for markets, stealing attention back from the ongoing US midterms results. On the back of the latest .75% hike by the Fed in November, markets are now looking for signs that the Fed will slow the pace of hikes. Chairman Powell mentioned that this might be appropriate within the next couple of meetings. With this in mind, today’s release has clear two-way risk for USD and broader markets.Market Reaction In terms of gauging market reaction to today’s release,  if inflation is seen holding at record levels last month or spiking higher, USD will likely trade higher as traders price in a larger .75% hike in December. In this scenario, gold prices are likely to come off. However, with traders clearly keen to pick a top in USD, any softening of inflation will no doubt skew pricing in favour of a smaller .5% hike in December, pulling USD lower near-term and allowing gold prices to breakout. Technical ViewsGoldFollowing the breakout above the bearish trend line from YTD highs, gold prices have subsequently stalled at a test of the 1722.37 level resistance. However, with momentum studies bullish here, the focus remains on an eventual break higher while the 1679.77 level holds as support. Above 1722.37 and 1791.63 will be the next big hurdle for bulls. Only a shift back below the 1679.77 level negates the current bullish view, with 1618.06 the main support to watch for now.

Market Spotlight: Crypto Panic As Binance Cancels FTX Buyout

Fresh Fears For Crypto TradersCrypto markets are still awash with fear and panic today as the possibility of crypto exchange FTX collapsing ratcheted higher on news that Binance has walked away from a buyout. Amidst a huge exodus of capital and the more than 90% loss of value in its native token FTT, FTX was due to be acquired by main rival Binance in a deal which would cover the exchange’s roughly $8 billion in liabilities, preventing unmanageable client losses.Binance Baulks At Buyout Binance cited reports of “mishandled customer funds and US agency investigations” as the main drivers behind its decision to abort the takeover. While FTX is reportedly seeking similar buyout options from other firms, nothing concrete has been established yet and as withdrawals continue, the situation is becoming more perilous.Retail Trader Impact If FTX does go bankrupt, this would be the latest high-level insolvency in the crypto-sphere this year. On the back of stable coin TerraUSD collapsing and the crypto fund Three Arrows Capital tanking, the news would have major repercussion for the crypto sector. Retail interest and trading volume have already fallen massively this year when compared with last year and FTX going under would likely see volumes plunging further with the crypto winter growing colder still.Technical ViewsFTT/USDThe chart really puts the plunge in perspective. Trading at around the $25 level just a week ago, FTT is now below $4, having tested the all time lows at $0.95. The outlook remains very bearish for the company. However, given that price is at such historically subdued levels and with the

NVIDIA – Q3 2022 Earnings Forecast

NVIDIA Corporation is a player in the personal computer gaming market, including Graphics Cards and Computing & Networking. The company, which has a total market capitalization of $342.88B, will report its Q3 2022 results on November 16 (Wed), after the close of the market.

The share price has fallen -55.06% since the beginning of the year following the main American Tech stocks; indeed the pressure due to the increase in interest rates exerted by the Fed is negative in an innovative sector and borrowing is essential in order to remain extremely competitive. The soaring value of the Dollar is also a symptom of stress. (see below)

In a note, BofA Securities said Nvidia is expected to report revenue of $5.9 billion, which would equate to a decline of 12% sequentially and 17% year-on-year. On Aug. 24 the firm forecast revenue of around $5.9 billion for the third fiscal quarter. Despite the new requirements imposed by the US government (new license on exports of H100 and A100 chips) the company said that its outlook for Q3 foresees a sales amount of $400 million to China.

BofA analyst Vivek Arya says the company may still have been able to “partially meet” demand from China. He expects the company to guide fourth-quarter sales to 6.1 billion dollars, which would represent a 20% year-over-year decline, indicating that “The competitive environment has become even more favorable as any potential China-based competitor faces the US design/manufacturing restrictions, while several potential early-stage US rivals face severe economic headwinds.”

Nvidia is profitable however it  has a price-to-revenue ratio of 12 and a price-to-book ratio of 14.8.

Recently Nvidia formalized the production of a new advanced chip for China that meets US export controls, the A800, which can replace the A100 chip. A company spokesperson said, “The Nvidia A800 GPU, which entered production in the third quarter, is another alternative product to the Nvidia A100 GPU for customers in China. The A800 meets the US government’s clear test for reduced export controls and cannot be programmed to exceed it”. Nvidia said that due to limits on high-end chips a shortfall of about $400 million could be considered in China in its fiscal third quarter, having a replacement chip in place could help ease the financial blow.

Regarding the consensus established by financial institutions and their analysts out of 44 respondents; 24 are buying, 7 are accumulating, 12 are on hold and 1 is reducing it. (see below)

Source: Zonebourse

Technical analysis

Nvidia’s stock price currently sits at the $138 level in its cloud and between its Kijun (LV) and Tenkan (LJ); the Lagging Span (LB) is located under the cloud between its sisters, which underlines a hesitation. In the event of a bullish momentum, the price could initially reach $152 and then $178, otherwise the price could test its support at the Kijun level at $128 and could reach $108.
