Market discussion with Anthony Battista
Next, we hear from Anthony Battista in Chicago, who talks about the current state of the market. He mentions that bond prices have been on the rise recently, which is a positive sign for the overall market. He also notes that gold has been doing well and the Japanese yen has rebounded from its low point. This suggests that the market is on track to reach new highs, at least in the US.
The conversation then shifts to gold, with Batista mentioning that it has been on a streak of eight consecutive days of higher highs. This is a strong indication of a bullish trend. He advises against going against this upward momentum in gold, as commodities often have streaks of gains. They also acknowledge that it is International Women's Day and highlight the significance of the day.
Upcoming earnings reports for the week
Finally, the focus turns to the upcoming earnings for the week. Although it may be a quieter week, there are still important companies to keep an eye on, such as Oracle, Persimmon, Domino's Pizza, Metro Bank, Adidas, Volkswagen, Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Adobe, Savills, and Vistry. Adobe's earnings are particularly important as they provide insight into the future income generated by its AI-driven services.
Overall, the upcoming week is expected to be full of economic news and earnings releases. The market seems to be moving steadily towards new highs, and gold is showing a positive trend.
