On May 16th, Berkshire Hathaway made a significant purchase of Delta Air Lines (DAL.N) in its first quarter under Greg Abel, who succeeded Warren Buffett as CEO, returning to the airline the group had invested in years ago. Abel, who became CEO in January, stated in his first letter to shareholders in February that Apple, American Express, Coca-Cola, and Moodys were among his "core" holdings, and that Berkshire would continue its "concentrated holdings" strategy. As of the end of March, Berkshires newly acquired Delta holding was valued at approximately $2.6 billion, still relatively small compared to its largest holding. Despite rising fuel costs due to the Iran-Iraq conflict putting pressure on airline stocks this year, Deltas share price has still risen 1.2%. During Buffetts tenure, Berkshire invested in several major airlines, including Delta, and was once its largest shareholder. In 2020, Berkshire liquidated all its airline holdings. At that time, the COVID-19 pandemic brought air travel to a near standstill, and Buffett said, "The world of the aviation industry has changed."On May 16, it was reported that law enforcement agencies from China and the Philippines recently cooperated to arrest and repatriate Chen, suspected of organizing cross-border gambling.

The June E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index futures are down significantly just before the close on Friday, putting the tech-heavy index on track for its third week of losses. On heightened clarity regarding aggressive near-term interest rate rises and general worries ahead of Big Tech reports next week, sellers pounded technology equities.


June E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index futures were trading at 13442.00 at 17:55 GMT, down 286.25 or -2.09 percent. The Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (QQQ) is now trading at 325.41, down 8.74 percent.

Tech Stocks Have a Difficult Future Prior to the Release of Major Earnings Reports

The NASDAQ Composite has had a bumpy start to the year due to the possibility of a more hawkish Fed. The tendency is particularly obvious in tech and growth stocks, which are more exposed to increasing bond rates in terms of valuation. In the year 2022, the NASDAQ is down 17.9%.


The four largest U.S. corporations by market value, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google parent Alphabet, will report earnings next week.

Technical Analysis of the Daily Swing Chart

According to the daily swing chart, the major trend is down. The primary trend will be changed to down if a deal is made through 14298.00. The downtrend would be reaffirmed if the price breaks through the intraday low of 13435.75.


12942.50 to 15268.75 is the short-term range. The index is now trading at resistance from 13831.25 to 14105.75, which is the lower end of its retracement zone.

Technical Forecast for the Daily Swing Chart

Trader response to 13728.25 will influence the direction of the June E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index entering Friday's closing.

Scenario that is bearish

The presence of sellers will be shown by a persistent move below 13728.25. If the intraday low of 13435.75 is broken, it means the selling pressure is increasing. Look for a downward acceleration if this builds enough downside momentum, with 12942.50 being the next big negative target.

Possibilities for Growth

The return of buyers will be signaled by the crossing of 13728.25. This might provide enough rising momentum to test the 13831.25 to 14105.75 short-term retracement zone. This is the last possible barrier level before the big peak at 14298.00.
