Key takeaways
  •   Daily wrap

  • US equity index futures are undergoing a significant correction amid increased uncertainty regarding the financial results of major technology companies. The US100 is losing as much as 1.4%, and the US500 is down over 0.8%.
  • The declines are also linked to news that the Trump administration is reportedly planning to impose export restrictions on products to China that contain US-produced software.

  • The Speaker of the House of Representatives suggests that a quick agreement on the funding bill is now receding.

  • Netflix is down nearly 10% today due to a weak net result stemming from a tax dispute in Brazil. The negative sentiment is further supported by Texas Instruments, which signaled weakening demand for semiconductors. Its shares are losing almost 7%.

  • Tesla is down over 1% today ahead of financial results to be released after the session close. The company is expected to report a record quarter, but a slowdown is anticipated afterward, linked to the expiry of electric vehicle purchase support and the diminished weight of emission certificate sales.

  • Beyond Meat shares gained almost 100% at the session open due to the company's inclusion in a newly formed ETF focused on meme stocks. While all of the session's initial gains have now been pared, the stock has still gained almost 400% over the past five sessions.

  • EURUSD is rebounding above 1.1600 as US Treasury yields fall below 4%.

  • Bitcoin is down 2% and drops towards the $108 thousand level.

  • Gold continues its sharp decline, adding even 2% to yesterday’s sell-off and approaching the $4000 level.

  • Crude oil is up over 2% and nears the $59 per barrel mark. This is the result of a possible agreement between India and the US regarding India halting purchases of Russian oil.

  • Trump postpones a meeting with Putin after Russia rejected the possibility of an immediate ceasefire with Ukraine. Ukraine continues attacks inside Russia, but the country's oil refining capacity is beginning to recover.

  • GBP was the weakest currency in the G10 for most of the day following the release of weaker-than-expected UK inflation data. Inflation came in at 3.8% y/y versus the 4.0% expectation, increasing the chances of an interest rate cut in November.

  • Google achieved a breakthrough in quantum computing with its "Willow" chip, outperforming classical supercomputers.

  • OpenAI launched Atlas—an AI-based web browser.
