  • Canada PM Carney: We will protect our workers if we don’t make progress on talks with US

    Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney is speaking and says:

    • if we don’t make progress in sectoral talks with the US, were going to do what’s necessary to protect our workers.
    • We will not allow unfair access to our market, if we don’t have access to another market. Says we’re not at that point yet.

    Earlier on GM, Carney said that the company will honor obligations to workers in Ontario, but and that this is not enough. We will see what else could be manufactured at the facility.

  • EURUSD Technicals: The EURUSD is trading to a new high after support held on the downside.

    The EURUSD moved lower during the Asian-Pacific and early European sessions, with the decline taking the pair back toward a familiar swing area between 1.15816 and 1.15976. Yesterday, the pair also dipped briefly below this zone before rebounding, and today buyers once again defended the lower boundary, pushing the price higher in recent hours. The pair is now trading at a new high for the day.

    Looking ahead, the next key resistance comes at the converged 100- and 200-hour moving averages near 1.16268—a technically significant level for both sides of the market. On Tuesday, the price broke below the 200-hour MA and later retested it before turning lower again. Today’s rally has brought the pair close to that same level, but it remains capped beneath it for now.

    With both moving averages aligned at 1.16268, this area becomes a critical decision point.

    • Sellers can lean against the resistance with stops above the zone.

    • Buyers, meanwhile, will look for a decisive break and sustained move above to shift the short-term bias back to the upside.

  • Stocks rebound as tech and healthcare provide a boost

    Sector Overview

    The stock market heatmap reveals a day of varied performances across sectors, with technology and healthcare sectors emerging as the clear winners. The broader market sentiment today leans positive, given the upswings observed in key areas.

    • 📈 Technology Sector: The tech sector showcases notable strength. Software-infrastructure players like Oracle (ORCL) surged by 2.24%. Broadcom (AVGO) also posted gains of 1.30%, signaling robust investor interest in tech infrastructure.
    • 📉 Telecommunications: However, the telecommunications sector struggled, as evidenced by T-Mobile (TMUS) and Verizon (VZ) dropping by 3.31% and 3.15%, respectively, pulling the sector down amid broader concerns.
    • 🏦 Financial Sector: The financial outlook displayed mixed signals. JPMorgan Chase (JPM) saw a modest increase of 0.27%, whereas diversifying asset managers like Blackstone (BX) fell sharply by 4.94%.
    • 🏥 Healthcare Sector: Positivity radiated from healthcare with Eli Lilly (LLY) climbing by 0.59%, providing a support cushion to the broader market dynamics.
    • ⚖️ Consumer Goods: Tesla (TSLA) weighed heavily with a plunge of 3.38%, which dragged down overall consumer cyclical stocks as investors reacted to ongoing production challenges.

    Market Mood and Trends

    Today’s market mood is cautiously optimistic, influenced by selective sector performance and contrasting narratives in consumer goods versus technology. The positive rally in tech and healthcare has infused confidence but remains checked by downturns in telecommunications and select consumer stocks.

    Investors seem to be calibrating their focus towards defensible stocks within technology and healthcare, leading to selective optimism post-latest updates.

    Strategic Recommendations

    Given today’s market mix, investors might consider rebalancing portfolios to leverage strengths in tech and healthcare sectors.

    • Exploit emerging opportunities within technology, particularly in software and chip manufacturing, as tech firms are showing resilience.
    • Consider fortifying positions in healthcare providers, where investor sentiment remains bullish amidst steady gains.
    • Stay cautious with telecommunications and auto manufacturers as these areas face potential headwinds expected to continue.

    As market dynamics continue to evolve, maintaining diversified investments may provide beneficial stability. Stay tuned to InvestingLive.com for more detailed analyses and insights. 📊
