[1/3] Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon speaks during the Goldman Sachs Investor Day at Goldman Sachs Headquarters in New York City, U.S., February 28, 2023. David Wagner, a portfolio manager at Aptus Capital Advisors, exited his small position in Goldman Sachs months ago because he was unimpressed with managers' handling of the consumer business. Marcus, the consumer business, lost $3 billion in three years, and is being wound down. 1Solomon took the top job in 2018, leaning into Goldman's consumer business to broaden earnings beyond volatile revenue from trading and dealmaking. The retail operations struggled to gain traction against well-established consumer banks, prompting the bank to set aside billions to cover potential loan losses.

One senior Taiwan fund manger told Reuters that third quarter profit would bounce back given expectations for AI demand and launches of new iPhones ahead of the year-end holiday shopping season. The second quarter is traditionally a slow period for sales for the tech industry with demand usually picking up in the third quarter and towards the year-end shopping season. TSMC , Asia's most valuable listed company, posted a surprise rise in net profit for the quarter ended March, up 2% from a year earlier. The company will provide guidance for the third quarter and update previous forecasts on its earnings call at 0600 GMT on Thursday.

Economists this week are embracing a higher probability that the Fed will achieve a "soft landing." A much-hoped-for "soft landing" indeed seems increasingly likely now as inflation cools and the job market remains strong. US retail and food services sales were up 1.6% from April to June, following a slight decline in March. "Consumers are far from depressed, but neither are they in celebratory mood," GlobalData retail analyst Neil Saunders said in a note. As consumer spending accounts for roughly 70% of the US economy, the continued strength in that area has been key to the US outperforming every other wealthy nation in the world.

We're raising our eyebrows at Ford 's (F) new price cuts on its popular electric pick-up truck. Jim Cramer called Ford's price cuts "counterintuitive" given the robust demand the F-150 Lightning has been seeing so far this year. In February, the company had to pause production and shipments on its electric pickup truck due to a potential battery issue. Meanwhile, prices for new electric vehicles were down 20% for the month driven by Tesla's EV price cuts earlier this year. Ford CEO Jim Farley poses for a photo at the launch of the all-new electric Ford F-150 Lightning pickup truck at the Ford Rouge Electric Vehicle Center on April 26, 2022 in Dearborn, Michigan.

Jane Birkin died in Paris on Sunday at age 76. Because, for me, the Birkin bag — which retails for anywhere from $10,000 to $250,000 for the more high-end designs — primarily represents a store of value. The value of gold rose by about 2% on average over the 35 years. And I, for one, can't stop from marveling that all this was spurred from a chance conversation between Jane Birkin and an Hermès executive back in 1980. The singer and actor who inspired Hermès' signature bag died on Sunday at age 76.

The artificial intelligence opportunity and recent underperformance of Microsoft make it hard to stay on the sidelines, UBS said. Analyst Karl Keirstead upgraded the technology stock to buy from neutral and raised his price target by $55 to $400. "We upgrade Microsoft shares to Buy from Neutral on evidence that Azure/AWS cloud infrastructure spend is beginning to stabilize after a significant deceleration over the past year," he said in a note to clients Thursday. Keirstead downgraded Microsoft early in the year, arguing that spending trends for cloud programs such as Azure and Amazon Web Services were going downhill. He argued that Azure's decline, in the case of Microsoft, could weigh on the stock.

Earnings per share: $1.33 vs. $1.30Revenue: $19.44 billion vs. $19.29 billionShares of Citigroup climbed more than 1% in premarket trading.

On the bright side, revenue from personal banking and wealth management increased 6% in the quarter to $6.4 billion driven by strong loan growth.

Alphabet shares were outperforming the broader market, with the S&P 500 (.SPX) up 0.6%, boosted by data showing signs of cooling inflation. Clearly they've been able to reassure European regulators about those issues, which just paves the way for further advantage really," said Hewson. Alphabet shares, which have seen a huge boost from investor excitement around generative artificial intelligence since February, are up around 41% so far this year. Microsoft shares are up 42% so far in 2023. Also on Thursday, TD Cowen raised its price target for Alphabet shares to $140 from $130 citing expectations of better growth in its search business.

Fine wine is souring as investment prices sink
  + stars: | 2023-07-12 | by ( Nicole Goodkind | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
New York CNN —Fine wine prices have been rising consistently for years, attracting investors looking to hedge against inflation, economic turmoil and stocks. The company currently manages $375 million worth of fine wine assets (that’s a 45% increase year on year). Fine wine has had a compound annual growth rate of 10% over the last 30 years, according to the Liv-Ex investables index, which tracks the going rates for fine wines. Leading the way in losses is Bordeaux, which experienced the largest drop of all fine wine categories in June. That’s a bit worrisome, said Tiwari, as Bordeaux is the most established region in the fine wine investment market and typically maintains its price stability.

[1/2] The logo of Alibaba Group is seen at its office in Beijing, China January 5, 2021. REUTERS/Thomas Peter/File PhotoBEIJING, July 12 (Reuters) - China's state planner on Wednesday praised Tencent (0700.HK) and Alibaba (9988.HK) in a statement detailing a study it had done on platform firms, in the latest sign authorities are warming up to the technology sector after a nearly three-year crackdown. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said platform companies had become key contributors to areas of tech innovation China was prioritising, such as semiconductors and autonomous driving. The commission's comments come after authorities signalled last week that a crackdown that began in late 2020 on the country's technology sector had ended with fines on Ant Group and Tencent. During the campaign, which wiped billions of dollars off the market value of China's top technology firms, regulators repeatedly criticised and punished these companies for violations ranging from failing to protect customer privacy to monopolistic behaviour.

REUTERS/Jim Vondruska/File PhotoCHICAGO, July 12 (Reuters) - Relentless travel demand has sent bookings at U.S. carriers soaring, translating into bumper earnings. Airline shares have suffered because of bearish sentiment about the broader economy as interest rates are up sharply and inflation remains high, analysts said. There are still no signs of air travel demand waning as ticket purchases for the rest of 2023 are up 4%, said Steve Solomon, ARC's chief commercial officer. Believers in airline stocks have seen signs of hope this year. Global Investors' Holmes said airline shares are poised for even more gains.

July 11 (Reuters) - The decline in global personal computer shipments slowed in the second quarter, with Apple outperforming the market with a 51% jump thanks to strong demand for its recently launched 15-inch MacBook Air, data from research firm Canalys showed. Reuters GraphicsMarket leader Lenovo (0992.HK) posted a shipment decline of 18.1%, smaller than the 30.3% fall posted in the previous quarter. HP Inc (HPQ.N) and Dell (DELL.N) also saw smaller falls, compared with the prior quarter. "Inventory levels reduced further in Q2," said Kieren Jessop, research analyst at Canalys. Still, Canalys said it expects 2023 shipments to be lower than 2022 as consumers prioritize spending on essentials in the face of high inflation and rising interest rates.

Salesforce (CRM) on Tuesday took another step to deliver profitable growth — a welcome development for investors, like us, which sent its stock price higher. Investors appeared upbeat around the list price increases, which Salesforce said are the first in seven years. "I don't expect it to impact churn much," said Berg, who has a buy rating and $230-per-share price target on Salesforce stock. It's worth noting, large customers will usually negotiate with Salesforce to secure a discount to a product's list price. Previously, a customer who bought 100 licenses at a 20% discount to the old list price would've generated $24,000.

Active ETFs have attracted $100 billion of net inflows over the past 12 months, according to a report from State Street. The growth of active ETFs could help other Wall Street firms take on the industry's dominant players. Some smaller JPMorgan active equity funds that have brought in cash this year include JPMorgan Active Value ETF (JAVA) and the JPMorgan Active Growth ETF (JGRO) . Two-thirds of U.S.-centric active funds fell short of their relevant indexes in the first half, according to a report from Morningstar. Active funds did fare better than passive funds in many categories, like small cap growth — perhaps a more fair comparison, given that passive funds do include fees and trading costs — but underperformed significantly in the popular large-cap blend category, according to data from Morningstar Direct.

"But at the same time, it just puts the Fed in a position where they've got more work to do." Wall Street's main indexes ended sharply lower in a broad selloff in the previous session, with the benchmark S&P 500 posting its biggest daily percentage drop in six weeks, after employment data on Thursday showed the number of jobs more than doubled in June. Six of the 11 major S&P 500 sectors advanced in mid-day trading, with commodity stocks such as energy (.SPNY) and materials (.SPLRCM) up over 1% each and outperforming the broader market. Among other movers, the S&P 500 banking index (.SPXBK) gained 1.4%. The S&P index recorded three new 52-week highs and four new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded 28 new highs and 49 new lows.

Tesla, which had previously stopped the referral program as it was too expensive, up to now has focused on real-time adjustments to prices posted on its websites. It revived the referral program recently to boost sales, analysts said. The EV sales market globally has become more competitive, forcing automakers to cut prices or boost incentives in several markets. The automaker has used its industry-leading profit margins as a weapon in the EV price war, putting pressure on both legacy automakers as well as cash-strapped EV startups. A number of Tesla owners in China posted their referral codes online and invited others to use them.

Overall, shares in European banks are outperforming U.S. peers as they did not face the deposit flight experienced in the United States. "In Europe, hedge funds have rotated out of banks and insurance into financial services in the past couple of months, but still positioning in European banks remains stronger than in U.S. banks," Goldman Sachs said in the report obtained by Reuters. The data shows European investors are more bullish about banks on their own continent, while they have a more neutral approach to U.S. banks. The gap between European hedge funds' positioning in European and U.S. banks has widened mainly after a crisis this year in which U.S.-based bank Silicon Valley Bank and two other lenders failed. Short interest as a share of free float in U.S. banks grew to 2.3% in June from 1.8% in January, while staying stable for European banks, at 0.6%.

"The US-led equity rebound in 1H 2023 was unusually concentrated in the so-called 'magnificent seven' mega-cap tech stocks. Other artificial intelligence-themed stocks broadly benefited from the excitement around its long-term potential as well, such as semiconductor stocks," said Cheung. He added that was reflected in the top performing Morningstar categories, which were U.S. large-cap growth equity, technology sector equity, and Taiwan equity — based on category average returns. Here are the top performing, actively managed equity funds in the first half of the year, according to data from Morningstar.
