Jobs Report Upsets Bulls' Hopium But They Might Not Care, Layoffs Help Meta And Amazon Add $275B In Market Cap
Portfolio Pulse from The Arora Report
The latest jobs report, showing stronger-than-expected employment growth, has dampened hopes for a Fed rate cut, potentially upsetting stock market bulls. However, blowout earnings from Amazon (AMZN) and Meta Platforms (META), including META's initiation of a dividend and a $50B buyback, have bolstered their market cap by $275B, overshadowing concerns from the jobs report. Early trade money flows are positive for AMZN, META, Microsoft (MSFT), and NVIDIA (NVDA), neutral for Alphabet (GOOG), and negative for Apple (AAPL) and Tesla (TSLA). The S&P 500 ETF (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) saw extremely positive early money flows turn negative post-jobs report. Oil is down on ceasefire deal prospects in the Middle East, impacting the United States Oil ETF (USO). Bitcoin (BTC) rises with tech stock sentiment.
