Iranian government spokesman: The Supreme National Security Council is managed by the president, and supporting the war is one of the important matters he frequently instructs on.Goldman Sachs stated on Tuesday, April 7th, that technology stocks, including US stocks, appear cheap after a prolonged period of underperformance, creating potential entry opportunities for investors. "Weve witnessed one of the weakest periods of relative returns for the technology sector in 50 years," the company said. Multiple factors have contributed to the overall weakness of the technology sector since 2025, prompting investors to shift towards value stocks. These factors include the launch of DeepSeek, massive capital expenditures by US mega-corporations, and the disruptive impact of AI-driven software. These factors have provided opportunities for investors to enter the sector, which currently exhibits strong growth but low valuations. The valuation premium for US mega-corporations has declined and is now almost in line with other parts of the sector. Globally, the IT sectors price-to-earnings ratio is lower than that of the consumer discretionary, consumer staples, and industrial sectors. Goldman Sachs noted that despite the low valuations, the technology sectors earnings performance remains strong. Among the S&P 500 sectors, the market consensus is that the IT sectors Q1 earnings per share will grow by 44%, accounting for 87% of the indexs earnings per share growth.Petroleum LOF: Trading will be suspended from the opening of the market on April 8, 2026 until 10:30 on the same day, and will resume at 10:30 on April 8, 2026.On April 7th, local time, the Japanese House of Councillors voted on the budget bill for fiscal year 2026 (April 2026 to March 2027) in a plenary session.

During the Asian session, in response to negative signals from the US dollar index, the USD/JPY pair plunged below 146.00. (DXY). Following Wednesday's low of 146.22, the asset's two-day downward trend has extended. The main index is reaching the bottom of Monday's knee-jerk reaction near 145.77 as it continues to decline.

 

The dollar bears are facing a severe sell-off due to the positive market sentiment. The risk-sensitive currencies have benefited from an increase in risk appetite. The US dollar index (DXY) has struck a new monthly low of 109.56 and is anticipated to stay volatile until the release of crucial US economic data.

 

The increased demand for U.S. government bonds has resulted in a decline in yields. This is due to the global markets' increased confidence. The yield on 10-year United States Treasury notes has decreased to 4%.

 

According to estimates, the Gross Domestic Product of the United States expanded by 2.4% in the third quarter. Despite the ultra-hawkish monetary policies of the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the previously disclosed 0.6% fall in growth, forecasts indicate a positive growth rate.

 

In addition, US Durable Goods Orders data will continue to be a key point. Compared to a reduction of 0.2%, it is projected that economic statistics will increase by 0.6%. Notable is the increase in core inflation, which includes oil and food prices. In spite of this, the predicted increase in demand for durable goods in the United States demonstrates healthy household demand.

 

Investors in Tokyo are anticipating the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) interest rate decision on Friday. In view of the shocks to foreign demand, BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda will continue an ultra-loose monetary policy to stimulate the outlook for economic development. In addition, Japanese policymakers are anxious that the inflation rate could go below 2%; hence, an extremely liberal policy is the best alternative.
