Futures Rise, Recovering From Friday's Dump On Rising Rate Cut Expectations
Futures are higher as markets rebound from last week's sell-off amid increased expectations the Fed will ride to the rescue with rate cuts following Friday's dismal US jobs data. As of 7:45am ET, S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures climbed 0.7% after the index had its biggest decline since May on Friday. Pre-market, Mag7 and Semis are outperforming with Cyclicals over Defensives. Bond yields are 2-3bp higher as the USD falls again. Commodities are weaker with Energy underperforming as OPEC+ approves another supply hike. This is a catalyst-light week with tomorrow's ISM the most important and heightened focus on weekly claims with the Fed spotlighting the unemployment rate.
In premarket trading, all Magnificent Seven stocks are higher alongside index futures (Amazon +1.8% after a Friday selloff, Nvidia +1.2%, Meta Platforms +1.1%, Tesla +1%, Alphabet +0.8%, Microsoft +0.8%, Apple +0.8%). here are the other notable premarke...

Amazon Slides On Soft Profit Guidance, Declining AWS Margins
With MSFT and META blowing away expectations yesterday and sending the Nasdaq to a new record high, if only to see all those gains disappear during the day, today attention turns to the other two Mag7 giants, AAPL and AMZN, with the latter reporting right after the close, and the former waiting the usual 30 minutes. As we reported in our preview, positioning both companies has been relatively weaker, with Goldman having AMZN at 7 out of 10 (AAPL is even worse at 4 out of 10), so expectations were more modest compared to yesterday's two juggernauts heading into earnings where the buyside bogeys are as follows: i) AWS growth of ~17% Q2 and ~18% Q3, with perhaps some upside risk to the Q3 number with GOOGL highlighting AI capacity coming online faster (note, management don't guide that number); ii) Q2 net sales and EBIT high end of respective guides ($159-164B and $13-17.5B); iii) Q3 guidance of net sales $176B & EBIT ~$20B (both h...

Futures Storm To Another Record High After Blowout Tech Earnings
"Powell hawkish, QRA a damp squib. Just when it felt darkest, MSFT and META came to the rescue." That's how Goldman Delta-1 head Rich Privorotsky summarized overnight events in his overnight wrap and boy was he right: US equity futures are soaring deep into record territory following blowout earnings from META and MSFT, which are +11.8% and +8.4% pre-mkt, and traders are asking if AAPL and AMZN - which report after the close - can provide an encore performance? As of 8:00am, S&P futures are 0.9% higher, having risen more than 1% earlier, while Nasdaq futures are surging as much as 1.3% after results and spending plans from Meta and Microsoft confirmed the AI trade is here to stay. That's helping traders overlook Trump's last-minute tariff curveballs and a more hawkish tone from Fed Chair Powell. Yields are 1-2bp lower as USD is flat. Commodities are mixed with Energy somehow weaker even though it appears that the ...
