AlphaTALKS Wall Street Breakfast, April 24: What Moved Markets This Week
Stocks experienced a bit of a rollercoaster this week, starting off with some selling on Monday and Tuesday before rallying on Wednesday and into Thursday morning. That ended with news of President Biden's "American Family Plan," to be funded mainly by increasing the capital gains tax and the top income tax rate. Markets sold off on the news, then rebounded today (Friday).At the time of this writing (3pm on Friday), the Dow Industrials (DJI) was down about 0.3% for the week, with the Nasdaq Composite (COMP.IND) off about 0.1%. The S&P 500 (SP500) is effectively flat week-over-week. The Russell 2000 (RTY) was the lone winner among major indexes, climbing about 0.9%.It was a bad week for cryptocurrencies, with bitcoin (BTC-USD) dropping by about 8% WoW and 25% since setting an all-time high. Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) also fell in its second week as a public company, tracking bitcoin to give up 9%, before rebounding a bit today.Winners & LosersEarnings mostly determined winners and losers.Airlines were one big loser, with the JETS ETF (NYSEARCA:JETS) down almost 5% after several names reported earnings that came up short of analyst estimates. Shares of American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) and United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) were off about 9% each. Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV) managed to beat on EPS but missed on revenue and saw its stock decline about 3% for the week.Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) was another big loser, dropping about 7% this week after disappointing subscriber results and guidance.Winners included Equifax (NYSE:EFX), which gained almost 18% for the week after beating earnings estimates and providing strong guidance. Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE:EW)(+9% WoW) hit an all-time high after its quarterly results beat estimates across the board. Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG) added 7% after beating earnings estimates and receiving an upgrade from Baird.Kansas City Southern (NYSE:KSU) shares added almost 15% as the company was caught in a bidding war between Canadian National (NYSE:CNI) and Canadian Pacific (NYSE:CP), with the former likely emerging as the winner late in the week.What Caught Our Attention This WeekKim: European Super League fiasco;Brad: Rising COVID cases in India;Stephen: SA's capital gains tax coverage;Nat: Bitcoin sell-off.Learn more about your ad choices.

It was a happy week on Wall Street, with major indexes setting fresh records and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) closing above 34,000 for the first time. All major indexes are due to finish the week with gains. Cryptocurrencies rallied, with several setting all-time highs as well on the back of the Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN) listing.Positive economic news buoyed markets, with the inflation report for March coming in largely in line with expectations early in the week.

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) crossed 64,000 for the first time before withdrawing a bit.News of Johnson & Johnson's (NYSE:JNJ) coronavirus vaccine withdrawal briefly spooked markets on Tuesday morning. JNJ shares initially sold off on the news before rebounding and were down only about 1.5% for the week at the time of this writing on Friday afternoon.Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) shares rallied on JNJ's poor fortune, with PFE gaining close to 5% this week though most of those gains came late in the week."Reopening trade" names performed poorly on the back of this news.

AlphaTALKS Wall Street Breakfast, March 27: What Moved Markets This Week
Stocks struggled for direction this week as the dearth of earnings news and economics releases left investors with no clear narrative to grab hold of. Covid concerns weighed on risk assets at the start of the week and bonds actually rallied for a change. That reversed toward the end of the week. Small caps and tech stocks failed to catch this updraft however.As of 2pm on Friday afternoon large caps were looking at weekly gains, with the Dow Industrials (DJI) and S&P 500 (SP500) both up about 0.5%. The Nasdaq (COMP) declined by about 2% to drop back below 13,000. Small caps performed worst, with the Russell 2000 giving up 4.5%.Indeed the Russell had its biggest loss in almost a month to fall below its 50-day moving average on Wednesday.Winners & LosersThe Suez Canal blockage helped energy names and tankers: Shares of Nordic American Tankers (NYSE:NAT), Teekay Corp (NYSE:TK), Frontline (NYSE:FRO), DHT Holdings (NYSE:DHT) all rallied as freight rates jumped 20% for large oil product tankers traveling from the Mediterranean.Many pandemic favorites returned to the winner's column: Costco (NASDAQ:COST) shares were up about 7%, with Clorox (NYSE:CLX) about 3.4% higher. Dollar General (NYSE:DG) added 11%, helped in part by a big bull call from JPMorgan. Target (NYSE:TGT) was 7% to the good.Utilities, another safe-haven favorite, also gained, with the Utilities Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSEARCA:XLU) adding 2% this week.Shares of media companies were one big loser. ViacomCBS (NASDAQ:VIAC) dropped by 31% after a $3 billion share offering. Fox (NASDAQ:FOX) was almost 5% lower after it emerged as the latest lawsuit target from Dominion Voting Systems. Certain brick and mortal retailers had bad weeks, with GAP (NYSE:GPS) shares declining by 7%. Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE:ANF) fell by 8%. American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE:AEO), Kohl’s (NYSE:KSS), and Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ:URBN) dropped by 5% each.Last but by no means least, it was a bad week for GameStop (NYSE:GME), whose shares declined by 9% after earnings and with analysts refocusing on fundamentals. Some back-and-forth over a potential share sale also weighed on performance.What Caught Our Eye(s) This WeekKim: Nike (NYSE:NKE) faces backlash in China over Xinjiang statement;Stephen: Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A, BRK.B) proposes $8.3B fix for Texas electric grid;Brad: Chinese tech sees sharp decline after proposed data-collection JV and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) walks the tightrope amid U.S. - China tension;Nat: Office REITs: The New Normal by SA Marketplace author Hoya Capital Real Estate.About This PodcastAlpha TALKS Wall Street Breakfast is a weekly podcast covering what moved markets this week (WMMTW), featuring a panel of Seeking Alpha editors.Hosted by Nathaniel E.

AlphaTALKS Wall Street Breakfast, March 20: What Moved Markets This Week
Stocks had another volatile week with the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision (and more importantly, its accompanying commentary) on Wednesday the major linchpin. Markets initially greeted Fed chair Jerome Powell’s dovish statements with buying, bidding up indices on Wednesday afternoon. That reversed on Thursday, with risk assets selling off across the board. Technology stocks took the brunt of the punishment, with the Nasdaq Composite (COMP) dropping by 3%.On Friday, tech stocks rebounded and major indices ended the week only slightly lower.The Dow Industrials Index (DJI) was the least bad performer for the second week in a row, with a loss of 0.5%. The S&P 500 (SP500) and Nasdaq were both 0.7% lower.Cryptos quietly had a strong week with bitcoin (BTC-USD) gaining almost 5% since Monday.Winners & LosersCyclicals and value stocks were among the main beneficiaries over investor concerns about inflation. Rising yields have been leading investors away from growth-related names and into some value stocks. Airlines took off after the Transportation Security Administration, or TSA, said air travel had rebounded to its highest level in almost a year. The US Global JETS ETF (NYSEARCA:JETS) gained 4% this week. United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) shares rallied almost 13%, followed by American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) with a 12% gain.Energy was a big loser this week, with crude prices declining more than 7% to their lowest level this month.

AlphaTALKS Wall Street Breakfast, March 13: What Moved Markets This Week
Stocks had a positive, albeit volatile, week. Bullish comments from David Tepper caused some risk-taking on Monday, reversing the more cautious sentiment from the previous week. Concerns over inflation were relieved somewhat with a mostly benign consumer price index report that met economists’ estimates.The Dow Industrials Index (DJI) lead major indices, with a gain of 3.6% for the week. The S&P 500 (SP500) was up 2.4%, with the Nasdaq (COMP) 3% higher even after a drop of 0.6% on Friday.Cryptos rallied this week on the back of the intensifying NFT craze. Bitcoin (BTC) flirted with a new all-time-high and is up about 13% for the week.Winners & LosersThere was broad-based buying among large caps, with only about a dozen S&P 500 stocks lower for the week. Cruise lines sold off, with Norwegian Cruise Lines (NYSE:NCLH) falling 8% for the week and Royal Caribbean (NYSE:RCL) giving up 4%. Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE:LYV) shares dropped 3% and GE (NYSE:GE) declined 10% after a surprise reverse stock split proposal. GE’s shares have rallied this year, from $10.80 to over $14 at one point, but this week suffered their worst two-day loss since June.Direct listings were one big winner after Roblox (NYSE:RBLX) opened for trading 50% above its reference price. RBLX then rallied anew on news Cathie Wood’s ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSEARCA:ARKW) had purchased more shares.NFTs, or so-called non-fungible tokens, were another big winner. A collage by the artist Beeple became the most expensive digital image ever, fetching $69 million at a Christie’s auction.‘Meme stocks’ also had another good week. GameStop (NYSE:GME) has almost doubled, while Koss (NASDAQ:KOSS) is up 65%. AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) gained 28% after saying it had sufficient liquidity through March 2022.ViacomCBS (NASDAQ:VIAC) is on track for its 12th straight week of gains and added 20% since Monday, partly thanks to sky-high ratings for Oprah Winfrey's interview of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry and the ensuing drama.LendingClub (NYSE:LC) is up more than 16% this week after issuing stronger-than-expected revenue guidance and reports Wood's fintech ETF was adding shares.What Caught Our Eye(s) This WeekKim: Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) password-sharing days may be numbered;Brad: Electric vehicle stocks cool as legislation hopes warm;Stephen: New York Life CEO Ted Mathas warms to Bitcoin - joins NYDIG.About This PodcastAlpha TALKS Wall Street Breakfast is a weekly podcast covering what moved markets this week (WMMTW), featuring a panel of Seeking Alpha editors.Hosted by Nathaniel E.

AlphaTALKS Wall Street Breakfast, March 6: What Moved Markets This Week

A late rally on Friday stopped a lot of the bleeding, but for the week all but the Dow Industrials index were lower.Fed chair Jerome Powell dodged questions over YCC in a Q&A session on Thursday and reiterated the Fed’s dovish stance on rates, causing most of the week’s selling.

After all was said and done the Dow eked out a 0.2% gain for the week, while S&P 500 gave up 0.7%.

All GameStop (NYSE:GME), all the time. The battle between retail traders from Reddit and the hedge fund elite dominated all market conversations during the week.

Most of the losses came Friday. Volatility as measured by the VIX gained 44% this week.In light of the news that had everybody talking, the Alpha TALKS panel this week threw the traditional playbook out the window.Instead, the conversation followed an outline of three distinct questions on the GameStop fiasco:The main outcome and lessons;The anticipated fallout;Who will emerge as winners and losers.About This PodcastAlpha TALKS Wall Street Breakfast is a weekly roundtable covering what moved markets this week (WMMTW), featuring a panel of Seeking Alpha editors.Hosted by Nathaniel E.

AlphaTALKS Wall Street Breakfast, Jan. 23: What Moved Markets This Week
Big PictureStocks started the week strongly before coming up for air on Friday. Concerns over rising coronavirus cases in China coupled with disappointing earnings reports from IBM (NYSE:IBM) and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) weighed on risk assets early Friday. Major indexes trimmed losses later in today’s trading session and finished green for the week.Winners & LosersOther than Bernie Sanders memes, many winners are anticipated beneficiaries of the Biden administration’s climate initiatives. Solar companies such as Sunpower (NASDAQ:SPWR), Enphase Energy (NASDAQ:ENPH), and Canadian Solar (NASDAQ:CSIQ) rallied. Polar Power (NASDAQ:POLA) was one of the biggest winners, with its shares gaining 81% this week.U.S. automakers Ford (NYSE:F) and General Motors (NYSE:GM) rallied early in the week on their electrical vehicle initiatives before giving up some gains Friday. Home builders performed well, with shares of D.R. Horton (NYSE:DHI) and Pulte Homes (NYSE:PHM) adding double digit percentages.Financials and energy names were among the losers. The Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSEARCA:XLF) is down about 3% with its energy equivalent (NYSEARCA:XLE) dropping 5%. Oil producers ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP), EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG), National Oilwell Varco (NYSE:NOV) are down double digits.

AlphaTALKS Wall Street Breakfast, Jan. 16: What Moved Markets This Week
Big PictureStocks sold off at the end of the week for their first three-day losing streak since October. Banks kicked off earnings season with mixed results and the Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF slid 1.3% Friday. The yield on 10-year Treasuries rallied past 1.1% ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's stimulus announcement late Thursday but retreated Friday after disappointing retail sales. The reflation trade appears to have lost some enthusiasm as cyclicals failed to rally tech.Winners & LosersEnergy stocks were one winner, with the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSEARCA:XLE) gaining more than 7% this week. This even though shares of Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) dropped on reports of allegations the company had overvalued its Permian Basin properties. Still, XOM was up double digits for the week.Other oil stocks performed even better. Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY) was up 18% this week. HollyFrontier Corp. (NYSE:HFC) added 12% and Marathon Oil (NYSE:MRO) 13%.Banks sold off yesterday even though some beat earnings. JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) slumped over 1% despite fourth-quarter earnings and revenue topping expectations. Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) shares dropped by 6% after its cost-cutting plan and net interest guidance failed to impress analysts. Citigroup (NYSE:C) was mixed, with earnings beating estimates and revenue coming up short of expectations.Shares of social media companies fell after Twitter and other platforms banned or suspended President Trump. Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) was the worst-performer, dropping more than 12% for the week. Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) and Snapchat (NYSE:SNAP) declined by 8.6% and 6.5%, respectively.What Caught Our Eye(s) This WeekKim: Cathie Wood Plans to Start Space ETF After Dominating With ARKK;Jason: TSMC plan for up to $28B in capital spending comes as chip industry frets over capacity;Brad: Churchill Capital IV SPAC gains amid Lucid Motors deal speculation.About This PodcastAlpha TALKS Wall Street Breakfast is a weekly roundtable covering what moved markets this week (WMMTW), featuring a panel of Seeking Alpha editors.Hosted by Nathaniel E.

Watch video highlights of this episode and add your commentary here.This episode was recorded around noon on Friday, well before Twitter's permanent ban of President Donald Trump.Big PictureStocks caught their breath at the end of an eventful first week of 2021. The S&P 500 Index (SP500), Dow Industrials (NYSEARCA:DIA), and Nasdaq (COMP) have treaded water most of the day Friday, but are due to end the week higher. A disappointing nonfarm payrolls report was mostly shrugged off by the market.Winners & LosersCryptocurrencies were one big winner, with bitcoin (BTC-USD) adding 40% since new year's.

AlphaTALKS Wall Street Breakfast, Dec. 26: What Moved Markets This Week
Note: A holiday-shortened roundtable this week, recorded on Dec. 24.Stocks closed higher going into the holidays thanks to late buying due in large part to the Brexit deal in Brussels. The week started with “risk-off” sentiment on concerns about a coronavirus mutation. There was some volatility around the stimulus drama, but ultimately not enough to dent bullish sentiment.Winners & LosersThe British pound (NYSEARCA:FXB) rallied after news of the Brexit agreement reached markets. Shares of Lloyds Banking Group (NYSE:LYG), Melrose Industries (OTC:MLSPF), and Tesco (OTCQX:TSCDF) also gained on the news. The tech-heavy Nasdaq (COMP) outperformed the S&P 500 (NYSEARCA:SPY).Shares of C3.ai (NYSE:AI) continued their ferocious rally since the IPO earlier this month, adding more than 10% this week. AIM Immunotech (NYSEMKT:AIM) gained about 15% this week after its Ampligen trial was green-lighted. SIFCO (NYSEMKT:SIF) shares rallied by more than 35% today after earnings results beat estimates.Chinese internet companies sold off this morning on news of Chinese regulators launching anti-monopoly investigations into Alibaba (NYSE:BABA). Shares of JD.com (NASDAQ:JD), Pinduoduo (NASDAQ:PDD), and Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) were lower but JD and Baidu still had positive weeks.What Caught Our Eye(s) This WeekStephen: ARK ETF family pulls in ~$1B in fund flows Tuesday night;Kim: Brexit negotiators finalize a deal; and Crude inventory draw less than consensus; Gasoline inventory unexpectedly falls;Brad: Walmart a top pick at RBC Capital into 2021;Nat: TIL the official Santa Claus rally refers to the last five trading sessions of December and the first two trading sessions of January.About This PodcastAlpha TALKS Wall Street Breakfast is a weekly roundtable covering what moved markets this week (WMMTW), featuring a panel of Seeking Alpha editors.Hosted by Nathaniel E.

AlphaTALKS Wall Street Breakfast, Dec. 19: What Moved Markets This Week
A second round of stimulus remains elusive but major stock indexes still managed to gain this week. The Nasdaq (COMP) added 2.8% while the S&P 500 (SP500) was up 1.5% and Dow Industrials (NYSEARCA:DIA) gained 1%.Positive news on coronavirus vaccines buoyed markets early in the week before initial jobless claims dampened enthusiasm. There was volatility on quadruple witching Friday and a sell-off to close the week.Winners & LosersCybersecurity companies were among the biggest winners this week after news of Russia-linked hackers breaking into federal agencies. Solarwinds (NYSE:SWI) was one of the main companies affected by the hack and saw its shares sell off dramatically.Bitcoin was a big gainer, briefly surpassing the $24,000 milestone. “Bitcoin proxies” like Marathon Patent (NASDAQ:MARA), Riot Blockchain (NASDAQ:RIOT), and Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) all saw significant rallies.Energy was a loser, with the iShares Global Energy ETF (NYSEARCA:IXC) dropping more than 5% this week. Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY), Baker Hughes (NYSE:BKR), and HollyFrontier (NYSE:HFC) were among notable names to record losses in that sector.Surprisingly, some of the pharmaceutical names linked to coronavirus vaccines had tough weeks. Shares of Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) dropped by 9%, partly due to a downgrade, while BioNTech (NASDAQ:BNTX) gave up twice that amount. Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) was off 7.5%.Of course Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) was also a winner, with shares rallying to an all-time high ahead of its inclusion in the S&P 500.What Caught Our Eye(s) This WeekStephen: Bitcoin worth $400K says Guggenheim's Scott Minerd;Kim: HBO Max headed to Roku, seven months after launch;Brad: Aphria and Tilray to merge, creating a near-$4B market cap cannabis player;Nat: Why Investors Should Be Buying MLPs Hand Over Fist TodayAbout This PodcastAlpha TALKS Wall Street Breakfast is a weekly roundtable covering what moved markets this week (WMMTW), featuring a panel of Seeking Alpha editors.Hosted by Nathaniel E.

AlphaTALKS Wall Street Breakfast, Dec. 12: What Moved Markets This Week
It was a week of competing narratives in stock markets.A frenzy in IPO markets and encouraging news about coronavirus vaccines buoyed sentiment at times. But the possibility of a no-deal Brexit combined with disappointing unemployment claims numbers and the continued lack of new stimulus from Washington have stocks lower for the week.Some good news on Friday should limit the damage. A surge in Disney (NYSE:DIS) shares after the company's investor day helped the Dow Industrials (NYSEARCA:DIA) into positive territory for the day. Consumer sentiment rose more than expected. Crude oil prices (CO1:COM) rebounded, topping $50 per barrel for the first time since March.Winners & LosersIPOs were the main winner. Shares of Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB) doubled on their first day of trading. DoorDash (NYSE:DASH) was up 78% from its initial pricing, though both stocks have since given back some of those gains.Otherwise, there was some consolidation in the market with few thematic moves to differentiate sectors. But eight of the 10 best-performing stocks in the S&P 500 (NYSEARCA:SPY) were energy names: Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY) shares are up 30% on the week, while Apache Corp (NASDAQ:APA) is up 20%.Losers were mostly defensive names perhaps as investors rotated into riskier parts of the market. Several REITS performed poorly: Crown Castle International (NYSE:CCI) are down 6% for the week. AvalonBay Communities (NYSE:AVB) has dropped by 5%. Utilities also lost ground, with the Utilities Select SPDR ETF (NYSEARCA:XLU) down 1.4% for the week at the time of this writing.Not all parts of the energy sector were higher. CenterPoint Energy (NYSE:CNP) shares are down 4.3% since the open on Monday. Dominion Energy (NYSE:D) is down more than 5%.Other losers were Vulcan Materials (NYSE:VMC), down 4.7%, and Martin Marietta Materials (NYSE:MLM), off 5.1%.What Caught Our Eye(s) This WeekKim: JPMorgan doubles down on bearish Tesla thesis;Brad: S&P 500's dividends 'attractive' and mispriced heading into 2021, Goldman Sachs says;Stephen: ARK Innovation (NYSEARCA:ARKK) tops active ETFs with $15.5B in total assets;Nat: NYC Exodus coverage, with Moelis and Goldman among the latest Wall Street firms to move (or consider moving) to Florida.About This PodcastAlpha TALKS Wall Street Breakfast is a weekly roundtable covering what moved markets this week (WMMTW), featuring a panel of Seeking Alpha editors.Hosted by Nathaniel E.

AlphaTALKS Wall Street Breakfast, Nov. 21: What Moved Markets This Week
Stock markets failed to maintain an early week rally caused by positive news on a coronavirus vaccine.

AlphaTALKS Wall Street Breakfast, Nov. 14: What Moved Markets This Week
Stock markets saw a sizable rally at the start of the week after Pfizer (PFE) and BioNTech's (BNTX) COVID-19 vaccine candidate showed it to be more than 90% effective in treating infections.The rally prompted some short-lived talk of a rotation from technology into value stocks before concerns about rising coronavirus cases put the buying -- and rotation -- on hold.By Friday however, the "risk on" mood prevailed once more. Major market indices stand to finish the week in the green. Virus-sensitive stocks rebounded and REITS with exposure to hotels, retail, office, and healthcare bounced.Winners & LosersOn the whole, there were far more winners than losers.Mall REITS were one big winner, with Kimco Realty (KIM) gaining 28% on the week. Brookdale Senior Living (BKD) added close to 40% on expectations elderly individuals would be among the first to receive a coronavirus vaccine. Robert Half International (RHI), a staffing firm, gained almost 18% this week amid expectations employment would pick up in the new year. Refineries posted big gains as well.Small caps outperformed large caps, with the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) adding 3% this week while the S&P 500 (SPY) gained 0.85%.News Coverage That Caught Our Eye This WeekStephen: Disney (DIS) earnings coverage;Brad: Peloton (PTON) +4% after announcing new Beyoncé partnership; and McDonald's (MCD) versus Beyond Meat (BYND) coverage;Kim: TikTok coverage;About This PodcastAlpha TALKS Wall Street Breakfast is a weekly roundtable covering what moved markets this week (WMMTW), featuring a panel of Seeking Alpha editors.Hosted by Nathaniel E.

South Dakota and Mississippi voters also approved measures to legalize medical marijuana. The ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF (NYSEARCA:MJ) that tracks the industry gained 14% this week. Shares of Aurora Cannabis (NYSE:ACB) doubled, with Cronos Group (NASDAQ:CRON) and Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) also booking double digit percent gains.Losers were almost entirely earnings related.

FedEx (FDX) gained as well on the back of the news.Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings (OLLI) rallied after the company surprised investors by reporting comparable sales growth of 40%. The company doesn't report full earnings until Aug. 27.Financials (XLF) and energy (IXC) were among the worst-performing sectors for the week.Seeking Alpha Articles & News Coverage That Caught Our Eye This Week (14:48)Jason: Fed is infantilizing investors - Klarman;Stephen: Eastman Kodak (KODK) coverage and Horizon Kinetics Commentary Q2 2020;Bradley: Streaming landscape jolted as AMC caves on theatrical window?Nat: Why Gold May Be In For A Fall This Summer by DoctorXLearn more about your ad choices.

Wall Street Breakfast July 25: What Moved Markets This Week
What Moved Markets This Week (WMMTW) is a weekly podcast with a panel of Seeking Alpha editors.Hosted by Nathaniel E. Baker, Contributing Editor, and featuring:Aaron Task, VP Contributor Content and co-host Seeking Alpha's Alpha Trader podcast;Bradley Olesen, VP News;Stephen Alpher, Managing Editor News, co-host Alpha Trader.Watch the Alpha TALKS video of this podcast.(Spotify users can skip to individual segment sdirectly by clicking on the timestamps below)Big Picture (0:52)It was not a sleepy summer type of week. The S&P 500 topped its June 8 post-COVID high on Monday, breaking out of a trading range and making a new five-month high on Wednesday. A large selloff followed on Thursday after initial jobless claims unexpectedly rose. U.S.-China tensions emerged, with U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo piling on some powerful rhetoric that spooked markets.Winners & Losers (4:56)Correlations are starting to break down as earnings season ramps up. It's no longer all about "virus on/virus off." Company- and industry-specific events were bigger drivers of share prices. Microsoft (MSFT) sold off after earnings. Apple (AAPL) fell due to antitrust concerns. Shares of casino companies and cruise lines were among the biggest losers of the week, including Wynn Resorts (WYNN), Las Vegas Sands (LVS), Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCLH), and Royal Caribbean (RCL).Homebuilders were among the winners (6:29): PulteGroup (PHM), NVR (NVR), and TRI Pointe Group (TPH) rallied after new home sales blew out expectations. The SPDR Homebuilders ETF (XHB) is up 3.4% this week at the time of this writing. That gauge has outperformed the S&P 500 over the last week, month, six months, year-to-date, and year.Silver prices had a massive rally, with the iShares Silver Trust ETF (SLV) up 18% this week. The SPDR Gold ETF (GLD) gained 5%.Corporate Highlights (8:28)Some interesting news out of the Discover Financial Services earnings call: Data for chargeoffs and delinquencies is holding up, but is expected to increase in the fourth quarter and persist through 2021. American Express earnings reported improved spending in May and June after bottoming in April.Stimulus payments have helped, but with the "fiscal cliff" due to expire on July 31 there is a lot of uncertainty.Seeking Alpha Articles & News Coverage That Caught Our Eye This Week (14:28):Nat: These 9 Silver Miners Are A Basket Of Opportunity, by Harrison Schwartz;Stephen: Bill Ackman's blank check company raises $4B - becomes largest in the sector;Bradley: Tesla (TSLA) coverage;Aaron: Sentiment Speaks: If You Own Gold, Look Out Below, by Avi Gilburt and Tesla: Excuse Me, 1999 Is Calling, by Louis Stevens.Learn more about your ad choices.

Wall Street Breakfast July 18: What Moved Markets This Week
What Moved Markets This Week (WMMTW) is a panel discussion with Seeking Alpha editors. Watch video highlights of this episode on Seeking Alpha.Hosted by Nathaniel E. Baker, Contributing Editor, and featuring:Aaron Task, VP Contributor Content and co-host Seeking Alpha's Alpha Trader podcast;Brad Olesen, VP News;Stephen Alpher, Managing Editor News, co-host Alpha Trader.Big Picture (0:52)The "risk on" appetite from Monday faded even as many banks beat estimates with their second quarter earnings. Shares of large-cap technology companies fell, with the NASDAQ (QQQ) underperforming other indexes for the first time in months. The catalyst appears to have been an announcement by California on Tuesday to rollback reopenings due to a surge in new coronavirus cases.Winners and Losers (3:25)High-multiple tech names led the selloff. Salesforce.com (CRM) was a big loser, along with Paycom (PAYC), Fortinet (FTNT), Adobe (ADBE), and Paypal (PYPL). Smallcaps gained, with the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) outpacing the S&P 500.Financials performed well on the back of bank earnings (6:33), with the SPDR S&P Bank Index ETF (KBE) adding 9%.
