US Open: Wall Street gain before Fed decision. Sell-off on Estee Lauder, AMD higher after earnings 📊

13:58 1 November 2023
  • Indexes on Wall Street are trading slightly higher ahead of the Fed decision. US500 gains 0.3%
  • The U.S. Treasury Department's auction put pressure on  10-year U.S. Treasury bond yields
  • Markets expect the Fed to keep rates unchanged (decision at 6 pm BST)
  • AMD (AMD.US) and Apollo Global (APO.US) gain after Q3 earnings.
  • Estee Lauder (EL.US) shares at 6-year lows despite much better-than-forecast net income
  • Euphoric gains for pharmaceutical company Crispr Therapeutics (CRIS.US) after FDA reports
  • Qualcomm (QCOM.US), PayPal (PYPL.US) and Airbnb (ABNB.US) results after the US session

With the consensus to keep Fed rates unchanged at today's meeting, market sentiment is centered around the conference of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. It seems that in view of recently published - still quite strong - data from the US economy, Powell will not signal to the markets the end of the hike cycle, and even if there are no more hikes, it is hard to count on an overly dovish message from the Fed chairman at today's meeting. ADP data published today from the US private labor market indicated a 113k increase in full-time jobs, compared to 156k forecast and 89k previously, which, while not meeting forecasts, suggests that the labor market is still holding strong. At 2 PM BST JOTLS data and the PMI reading will be published, which will shed more light on the health of the US economy. At the moment declinign 10 yr treasuries yields help sentiments on Wall Street with US500 0,4% gain and US100 climbing 0,6% higher.

Looking at the chart of the US500, we can see that if the index maintains its current structure an upward breakout of about 100 points is not out of the question, in the vicinity of the LWMA 200 between 4300 and 4350 points. The final reaction of the markets during Jerome Powell's conference (starting at 19:30 Polish time) may be crucial for further stock market sentiments. Source: xStation5

Estee Lauder (EL.US) deepens declines - at 6 year lows

Estee Lauder shares are seeing an unprecedented sell-off, which is indirectly still fueled by a powerful 2020-2021 stock valuation increase and continued consumer weakness in China. Third-quarter results came in better in terms of EPS, which came in at $0.11 versus a -$0.21 projected loss ake revenues of $3.52 billion missed estimates of $3.53 billion, and the company stressed that consumer weakness in the Chinese market and the trend of lower spending in tourism still persists (cosmetics sales enjoyed strong sales in duty-free zones).

For Q4, the company estimates revenues of $6.1 billion, with the potential for an upward or downward deviation of about $300 million. Gross margins are expected to be 51.5%, slightly below Wall Street's 52.1% forecast.
