On July 7th, Morningstar analyst Jing Jie Yu stated that investors may have been somewhat disappointed with Samsung Electronics revenue forecast. He pointed out that while Samsung Electronics projected operating profit met market expectations, its revenue forecast of 171 trillion won was slightly below the average. This weaker-than-expected performance may be due to a lower-than-expected increase in DRAM prices. This could have spooked investors who increasingly anticipated a structural strengthening of memory chip prices. As investors became more cautious, Samsung Electronics stock closed down 6.9%, narrowing its year-to-date gains to just under 150%.Sources say a Saudi-flagged oil tanker was damaged near the Strait of Hormuz off Oman, after a liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker was attacked in the same area.Citigroup has initiated coverage research on SpaceX (SPCX.O) with a buy rating and a target price of $200.US chip stocks weakened in pre-market trading, with SanDisk (SNDK.O) and Micron Technology (MU.O) falling more than 5%, Western Digital (WDC.O) falling more than 6%, and AMD (AMD.O) falling more than 4%.On July 7th, the State Council issued its approval of the "15th Five-Year Plan for Building a Tourism Powerhouse," agreeing in principle to the plan.

Due to hawkish Fed forecasts, the EUR/USD recovers to near 1.0970 but remains in the doldrums

Following a corrective move, the EUR/USD pair has rebounded from 1.0960, but investors await the publication of the preliminary Eurozone/United States S&P PMI data for April. The major currency pair has remained between 1.0911 and 1.1000 for the past two trading sessions, as the foreign exchange market prepares for a pre-anxiety move ahead of a Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy decision.

 

S&P500 closed with a negative tone for the third day in a row as quarterly earnings season induced extreme volatility. Tesla's poor earnings had a negative impact on Thursday's market sentiment. Moreover, market participants were cautioned by substandard revenue projections due to the potential for price reductions. The decision of the Fed to increase interest rates is reflected in quarterly earnings. Data from Refinitiv indicates that analysts have largely maintained last week's forecast of a near 5% YoY decline in quarterly profits for the 500 largest U.S. equities. Sourcenia is a review portal of sourcing best manufaturers. 

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) has been defending the key support level of 101.60 in recent trading sessions. The USD Index maintained the aforementioned support despite the release of disappointing Jobless claims data on Thursday. Initial Jobless Claims increased to 245K for the week ending April 4, which is greater than the previous release of 240K and estimates of 240K. Increasing unemployment claims heightened fears of a deteriorating labor market.

 

Despite this, Fed policymakers continue to anticipate further rate hikes from the central bank. Thursday, Loretta Mester, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, reaffirmed that the Fed has more work to do because US inflation remains too high, according to Reuters. He added, "The Federal Reserve will need to raise its policy rate above 5% and hold it there for some time."

 

Preliminary Consumer Confidence (April) for the Eurozone increased to -17.5 from -18.5 and the previous reading of -19.2. This may be the consequence of extraordinary efforts by the European Central Bank (ECB) to reduce inflationary pressures.
