Trump will meet with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán at 11:45 a.m. local time on Friday.November 7th - The recent sell-off in longer-term US Treasuries indicates that fiscal issues will be investors primary concern if Trumps tariff policies are rejected, as they worry that rising debt levels will exacerbate the budget deficit. Thomas Mathews, Head of Asia Pacific Markets at Capital Economics, pointed out that the longest end of the US Treasury yield curve has seen the greatest volatility, suggesting that concerns about the fiscal situation are no less significant than those about the Federal Reserves interest rate path. The loss of tariff revenue will reignite the deficit problem. Wednesdays market reaction was more moderate than when the tariffs were introduced at the beginning of the year, as the market anticipated that the government might introduce alternative tariffs. This would limit the size of fiscal stimulus and is unlikely to fully offset the revenue loss. Furthermore, while the direct inflation-boosting effect of tariffs is limited, the recent slight decline in inflation swap rates suggests that investors believe that removing tariffs will still have some effect on curbing inflation.On November 7th, the topic of a Pop Mart livestream incident became the top trending topic.

All Major US Indices Remain Above 50DMA as S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 Rally

The major US market indices were mixed on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indexes doing better than the Dow Jones Industrial Average despite being more heavily weighted toward large technology and growth stocks. The first two were both successful in reaching their highest points in almost a month.


The fact that all three of the main indexes were able to retake their 50-Day Moving Averages for the first time since April is one important finding from the US equities markets on Wednesday, suggesting that the current bullish change in momentum may have more legs.


According to analysts, the main indexes are benefiting from the US earnings season's better-than-expected start. After the closing, the electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla is scheduled to release its profits.


Data suggesting that existing house sales fell to a two-year low in June after surging to record highs during the epidemic last summer were ignored by US equities markets. The US home market has recently suffered from a sluggish economy, a deteriorating cost-of-living issue, and a dramatic increase in interest rates.


Despite the grim forecast, most existing houses sold in June were listed for less than a month, according to LPL Financial's chief economist Jeffrey Roach, who was reported by Reuters. This suggests that despite a weakening economy, there is still a fundamental need for house ownership.

Large-Cap Growth Stocks Are the Front-Runners

Stronger than anticipated Netflix results sent the company's share price higher, driving the rise in the US equities markets on Wednesday. These huge tech/growth stock dominated information technology and consumer discretionary GICS S&P 500 sectors. The streaming service said that it lost roughly 1 million customers in the second quarter but anticipated that its subscriber count will begin to increase once again in the third quarter.


Other members of the once-dominant FAANG group of companies rallied in response to Netflix's positive Q3 projection. FAANG stands for Google, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Facebook (now known as Meta Platforms) (whose parent company is called Alphabet). By the end of the next week, Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon will all have released their results.


Semiconductor manufacturers were another significant outperforming segment of the US equities market. Analysts pointed to the fact that the US Senate approved measures aimed at bolstering the US semiconductor sector on Tuesday as the reason for the Philadelphia Semiconductor index's increase of more than 2% on Wednesday.


The share price of Merck & Co. decreased after the cancer treatment medicine Keytruda failed to reach end-point goals in a late-stage neck and head cancer study, one of the significant individual movers.
