CNBC's Jim Cramer on Friday told investors not to make any major stock moves right before a company's quarterly report. "You shouldn't try to play the earnings game, meaning don't trade stocks on the basis of what you're expecting from their quarterly numbers," Cramer said. Cramer used chipmaker Micron as an example of why it's important to wait and assess earnings before buying or selling. The company released its quarterly report earlier this week, with revenue beating Wall Street's expectations. Cramer conceded that there are some instances where one might not be able to make moves after the report.

"The recovery path is off to a slow start," analysts at Evercore ISI said in a note. Micron is also working to become a supplier to AI chip giant Nvidia (NVDA.O), it said on Wednesday. The company forecast adjusted loss per share of $1.07 for the current quarter, steeper than analysts' estimates for a 95 cents-per-share loss. Those losses have largely been recouped, with its shares rising about 36% in 2023 as investors hoped for a recovery.

China's markets will also be disrupted by Golden Week holidays next week. Ten-year Treasury yields hit another 16-year high at 4.56% on Tuesday before dialling back a bit on Wednesday, with 10-year real yields hitting 14-year peaks at 2.24%. Risk spreads in junk bond and overseas sovereign bond markets are also creeping higher again, with exchange-traded U.S. junk bond funds hitting their lowest since May and Italy's government bond yield premium over Germany widening too. Worrying for many investors this week has been how bond yields have climbed despite weaker economic signals and how stock and bond losses are correlating again. World markets were more mixed, with China's bourses managing some gains ahead of the big holiday week.

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsSept 27 (Reuters) - Micron Technology (MU.O) forecast first-quarter revenue above Wall Street estimates on Wednesday, powered by demand for its memory chips from the rapidly growing artificial intelligence sector. But the Idaho-based chipmaker forecast a wider than expected first-quarter loss as it prepares to ramp up production of new product lines. Micron said Wednesday that it expects to start production of lucrative high-bandwidth memory, which is used in many AI chips, next year. Micron expects adjusted revenue of $4.40 billion, plus or minus $200 million, for the current quarter, compared with estimates of $4.20 billion, according to LSEG data. Revenue for the fourth quarter stood at $4.01 billion, compared with estimates of $3.91 billion.

Headwinds are piling up for the market heading into the final week of the month, as September lives up to its reputation as a horrible month for Wall Street. Wolfe Research's Rob Ginsberg pointed out in a note this week that the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) doesn't suggest much fear in markets. "We have a potential shutdown in Washington, as well as the UAW strike, which could potentially create some volatility in jobs data in particular."

☆ China's gallium, germanium exports drop to zero as tech war simmers
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-21 | by ( Laura He | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +4 min

Hong Kong CNN —China’s exports of two rare minerals essential for manufacturing semiconductors fell to zero in August, a month after Beijing imposed curbs on sales overseas, citing national security. In July, the country exported 5.15 metric tons of forged gallium products and 8.1 metric tons of forged germanium products. The curbs are indicative of China’s apparent willingness to retaliate against US export controls, despite concerns about economic growth, as a tech war simmers. Prices for gallium have fallen in China, as export controls caused inventories to pile up. The model is powered by an advanced chip, which was created despite US sanctions intended to cut the Chinese tech giant off from such technology.
