Since the coronavirus breakout and the following lockdowns, there is no doubt that Banks have been massively hit. But there might be more to come. First, with the deterioration of the economy, many Banks will have to build more reserves for credit losses. As JP Morgan underlined during its latest earnings, “provisions for credit losses […]
Coronavirus
Stocks: from one extreme to another.
The Stock Market has been on a tear since the lows on the 23/03/2020. What happened on the same day? The Fed announced QE Infinity. Simple coincidence? I guess not. Technology companies have been outperforming the market with some big moves across the Technology Sector. The Nasdaq Composite is up 1.7% for 2020 and is […]
Before the open II
2/3 weeks ago I did a post on the different performances across asset classes and sectors in the middle of the coronavirus / lockdown crisis. Yesterday the S&P 500 Futures broke the 2635 level on the upside. We have resistance around 2730-2750 and bigger ones at 2800-2815. I always like to know what is moving […]

After the storm…
At the end of each week, I normally like to look at price action across asset classes and sectors. After the recent sell-off and before the week-end, I wanted to have a quick look at stocks which might have been indiscriminately sold off (or holding too well) and offering great opportunities. So here I am […]
European Banks: Time to Monitor closely.
The idea of this blog is not to add tension, doom and gloom to the existing environment. After the big sell-off in equities and the rally in Bonds I just wanted to get a better picture of how European Sectors performed and if there are important levels to watch. Like I did recently with Asset […]
Bonds, Commodities, Investment Styles, Countries: Performance at the end of February 2020.
No need to say that markets have been quite volatile this year. So far, 2020 feels a bit like the start of the Plagues of Egypt. Always good to take a step back by looking at what outperformed or underperformed on different timeframes. Disclaimer: “Past Performance is no guarantee of future results”. Bonds Commodities Investment […]
