A sharp sell-off in 2024's winning tech giants has left investors wondering whether it's safe to scoop up the pummeled shares. At one point during Monday's rout, the "Magnificent Seven" stocks combined had lost nearly $1 trillion in value , later recovering some of the losses. To be sure, some investors on Wall Street are pumping the brakes after Monday's sell-off, cautioning others to hold off on buying the dip just yet. Many investors viewed the sell-off as a necessary pullback in what's been a seemingly endless uptrend in the market.

Asia-Pacific markets were mixed on Friday after Thursday's sell-off saw some indexes in the region hit their lowest level in months. "There's a changing of the guard happening on Wall Street. In Asia, traders assessed July inflation data out of Japan's capital city of Tokyo, which is widely considered a leading indicator of nationwide trends. Tokyo's headline inflation slowed slightly to 2.2% in July from 2.3% in May, while its core inflation rate — which strips out prices of fresh food — remained unchanged at 2.2%, in line with expectations. The so called "core-core" inflation rate, which strips out prices of fresh food and energy and is watched by the Bank of Japan, fell to 1.5% from 1.8%.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is expected to make a key decision on approving ether exchange-traded funds next week. Edelman, an investor and personal finance author, thinks there needs to be an emphasis on regulations to protect people from crypto scams. We've seen the bitcoin ETFs come to market. We've seen the great things they've done for investors — lowering costs, improving regulation, improving sort of safety, security and peace of mind.," Hougan said. The two ether ETF proposals, submitted by VanEck and ARK Investments/21Shares, are set to be approved or denied this month.

Thank the "Magnificent Seven" stocks for the S & P 500 's bounce to record levels in 2024 . "It's a bet on secular growth," said Truist's Keith Lerner. "AI stocks … are going bonkers," he said. "People see a secular growth story even with all the different type of cross-currents in the economy, interest rates and markets," he said. "However, strong secular tailwinds from Gen AI could extend the rally well beyond the typical 2-year up-cycles, in our view."

Dollar gains on yen, bitcoin edges up before expected SEC decision

The SEC was expected to announce later in the day whether it will approve applications from asset managers Ark Investments and 21Shares (ABTC.S) to launch a spot bitcoin ETF. More than a dozen bitcoin ETF applications - including from BlackRock (BLK.N), Fidelity and VanEck - are also pending with the agency. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) due out on Thursday is the next likely driver of dollar direction. It is expected to show that headline inflation rose 0.2% in the month and by 3.2% on an annual basis. Anticipation of a positive SEC decision on ETFs, which is likely to draw billions of dollars in new investments, has boosted bitcoin prices in the past two months.

Dec 4 (Reuters) - Pando Asset AG, a digital asset management firm based in Switzerland, last week became the latest issuer to submit an application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch an exchange-traded fund (ETF) tied to spot bitcoin prices. Pando becomes the 13th company vying for a share of what the cryptocurrency world believes could become a multi-billion dollar product, SEC filings showed. Others range from asset management giants like BlackRock and Fidelity to more specialized ETF providers like ARK Investments. Pando is a latecomer to the U.S. spot bitcoin race, but already has three other spot crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) on the SIX Swiss Exchange. Its ETF proposal included Bank of New York Mellon as the administrator of the Pando Asset Spot Bitcoin Trust.

The SEC has long rejected spot bitcoin ETF applications on the grounds they do meet its investor protection requirements. Industry hopes that position would shift surged in June when BlackRock (BLK.N), which has an almost unbroken record of SEC ETF approvals, filed for a spot bitcoin ETF. The only prospective issuer to disclose proposed investor fees so far is Ark Investment, which last week announced its spot bitcoin ETF would charge a fee of 0.8%. To be sure, issuers hoping to launch spot bitcoin ETFs have a more bullish outlook than those sticking to the sidelines. Magoon hopes the buzz surrounding a spot bitcoin ETF will draw more assets to Amplify's BLOK ETF.

Since 2021, the SEC has rejected multiple applications to issue spot bitcoin ETFs, arguing that the cryptocurrency market is vulnerable to manipulation. In August, a federal court ruled that the SEC wrongly rejected Grayscale Investments' application to convert its Bitcoin Trust into a spot bitcoin ETF. SEC chair Gary Gensler said last month that the SEC is evaluating as many as 10 spot bitcoin ETF proposals. The average fee levied on U.S. ETFs currently hovers around 0.54%, but Ark's proposed fee of 0.80% is significantly lower than the 2% that Grayscale currently charges investors on its spot bitcoin trust. If the SEC does approve some or all of the pending spot bitcoin ETF applications in early January, industry participants and analysts expect a fierce battle for market share to follow.

Three highly anticipated initial public offerings that came to market this past week raised investor hopes that a nearly two-year-long drought in IPOs might finally be coming to an end. In fact, the Renaissance IPO ETF that tracks aftermarket trading in recent IPOs picked up heading into Arm's offering, but fell 2.5% on Thursday and is down nearly 5% this month. Market barometer IPOs are a barometer of market confidence as investors bet on the hope that they are snatching up companies with strong growth potential, said Truist Advisory Service's chief market strategist Keith Lerner. The underwhelming performance of recent IPOs is just another sign that the choppy market waters are likely to continue, he added. From that perspective, the recent IPOs aren't necessarily a sign of market failure, according to Sarhan.

Now is the time to buy SeaWorld shares, according to Goldman Sachs. Analyst Lizzie Dove initiated coverage on the Florida theme park with a buy rating. Despite investor caution on park stocks amid an uncertain macro environment, Dove said the risk has already been priced into shares.

Dove added the park could struggle to increase its staffing due to its lower hourly wage compared to its competitors.

April 27 (Reuters) - First Republic Bank's (FRC.N) shares rose nearly 5% premarket on Thursday, following a bruising sell-off that wiped out 60% of the stock's value this week. First Republic's woes this weak has brought the banking sector under renewed pressure as it looks to recover from the biggest turmoil since 2008. "First republic lost and is continuing to lose deposits. "If First Republic fails or is bailed out, that will likely cause more downward pressure on the already beaten down financial sector." The downgrade could lead to restrictions on First Republic's ability to borrow from the U.S. central bank, the report said.
"Investors are okay with earnings so far because the lack of bad news is good news," said Adam Sarhan, chief executive of 50 Park Investments. "The market is waiting to see if we can get some bullish earnings over the next few weeks from some of the big cap tech stocks." A slate of Fed speakers this week voiced support for another 25-basis-point rate hike by the U.S. central bank when it meets next week. Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a 1.42-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and a 1.30-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The S&P index recorded 18 new 52-week highs and three new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded 27 new highs and 78 new lows.
The remarks followed recent data showing an unexpected inflation increase in January and an unusually large jobs gain for the month. Traders dramatically raised their bets for a 50-basis-point rate hike in March after Powell's comments, with money market futures last pricing in a more than 70% chance of such a move, up from around 31% on Monday, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool. Data influencing the Fed's rate hiking path will include Friday's closely watched nonfarm payroll additions for February. Meanwhile, the yield on two-year Treasury notes , which best reflects short-term rate expectations, hit 5% for the first time since July 2007. Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS.N) rallied 11% after the retailer forecast annual earnings above Wall Street estimates and more than doubled its quarterly dividend.

Data for December was revised higher to show the CPI gaining 0.1% instead of the 0.1% fall as previously reported. “It's not going to necessarily influence the Federal Reserve one way or another. "You have a little bit of a negative reaction because these numbers are not going to take the pressure off the Federal Reserve. "The real issue is what is the Federal Reserve going to do, it's pretty widely expected that they're going to raise rates both at their March meeting as well as their May meeting. "There's not much there for the Federal Reserve to give them some sort of a justification for taking their foot off the brake and reducing interest rates."
