US OPEN: Nasdaq fails to go back to green as selloff continues.

• Nasdaq goes back to red after gaining at the opening

• Oracle's shares fall on estimates miss and weak guidance

• US job openings up in January

The performance of major U.S. continues on a bad steak. Following its biggest selloff since 2022, the tech-heavy Nasdaq attempted to rebound at the session's open but is currently down 0.6%. Both the DJIA and S&P 500 are extending losses (-1% and -0.4%, respectively), while the small-cap Russell 2000 adds 0.1%.

The JOLTS report exceeded expectations, showing 7.74 million new job openings in the U.S. versus the 7.6 million estimate (previous: 7.5 million). The EUR/USD rally slowed following the report, easing concerns raised by last week’s slightly underwhelming ADP and NFP data. However, recent ISM surveys suggest that labor demand is already fading. Market conditions continue to moderate amid uncertainty over Trump’s trade policy and its potential impact on U.S. business activity.

US100 (D1)

The contract for Nasdaq 100 index is attempting a recovery after a streak of consecutive losses and yesterday’s selloff. The RSI indicates an overselling of US100, motivating a potential bullish pullback. Nevertheless, the US100 is still rather undecided, hovering around 0, as Magnificent 7 stocks drag the index in the opposite directions (Tesla: +3.5%, Nvidia: +1.6%, Apple: -1.9%, Alphabet: -0.5%).
