Musk: Teslas electric semi-truck will begin mass production this year.February 9th - Goldman Sachs trading arm stated that after a rebound in U.S. stocks last Friday, almost recovering the weeks brutal losses, this week will face further selling pressure from trend-following algorithmic funds. The S&P 500 has broken through a short-term trigger point, prompting commodity trading advisors (CTAs) to sell stocks.

Goldman Sachs stated that if the stock market falls again, it could trigger approximately $33 billion in selling this week.

In premarket trading on Friday, shares of Jack Dorsey-led Block Inc, a digital payments startup that has made a significant bet on bitcoin, fell by roughly 7% after the business revealed a loss in quarterly profits due to dwindling interest in cryptocurrencies.


By 6:20 a.m. ET, the corporation, which is situated in San Francisco, California, had lost approximately $3.5 billion in market value. This year, the stock has decreased by more than 44%.


Block announced Thursday that it has halted recruiting and would lower its 2022 investment objective by $250 million. Block recorded a loss of 36 cents per share in the second quarter, compared to a profit of 40 cents last year.


The JPMorgan analysts said in a report that "the move of lowering expenditure shows SQ is prepping for possibly slower growth."


The brokerage, noting underlying profits potential from its purchase now, pay later business, which generated $150 million in gross profit in the quarter, maintained its "overweight" rating and $107 price objective for the company, however.


Investor interest in bitcoin and other digital currencies has waned this year as riskier assets have been sold off as a result of sizzling inflation and the Federal Reserve's tightening of monetary policy.


Companies like Block, who profited last year from the bitcoin mania by riding its wave, have been harmed by this.


Block's gross profit from bitcoin fell by 24 percent to $41 million in the quarter from $55 million a year earlier, or what the business makes from the margin on buying and selling the cryptocurrency.


In the eight trading sessions before to the publication, shares had increased by approximately 35%. According to analysts at BTIG, "the business probably would have needed to provide a fairly faultless report in order for that increase to continue.


However, Jefferies and RBC Capital Markets increased their price targets, stating that Block's choice to reduce expenses would provide it a great advantage in navigating a challenging economic climate.
