Today we look at the market ripping higher still after the FOMC statement and Powell press conference left plenty of room for the market to feel that its forward expectations for the Fed easing by later this year are spot-on, allowing the recent squeeze or rally in US markets to extend higher still, and through key resistance. We also look at strong Meta results after hours and preview the mother lode of earnings reports up today. A look a the reaction to the FOMC in FX as well as a preview for the ECB and BoE today, a run-down of crude oil and precious metals and more also on today's pod, which features Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities, and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we look at the market gunning back higher after a soft employment cost index report for Q4 and, wouldn't you know it, a WSJ Timiraos article touting the possibility of a Fed pause after another March hike. What can Powell and company do today in the press conference to get financial conditions to tighten? And then we have the ongoing blitz of earnings reports, with Meta a concern today after a very weak Snap yesterday. Crude oil, metals, FX and more also on today's pod, which features Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities, and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we look at the sudden reversal in risk sentiment yesterday as US equities made an abrupt about-face and turned sharply lower, just after having challenged interesting resistance levels. No surprise to the see the US dollar gaining a strong bid on the change of mood, as the market suddenly shows a modicum of respect for incoming event risks, including tomorrow's FOMC meeting. A look at the shifting fundamentals for banks, earnings reports to watch today and tomorrow, crude oil and gold & much more. Today's pod features Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities, and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we look at the market squeeze in the US continuing into the close last week, with bubble stocks finishing the week with a furious additional squeeze and Tesla up over 10% and now 75% from its lows from earlier this month. The Fed can't be happy and is likely set to push back as hard as it can against easing financial conditions at this Wednesday's FOMC meeting. Will it succeed? We also dive into the latest on copper and crude oil, the very busy earnings and macro calendar this week and more. Today's pod features Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities, and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we look at the US equity market posting another strong session and bulling toward the last major local resistance area in the S&P 500, with the Nasdaq 100 closer to the key resistance and managing a close above the 200-day moving average yesterday. We express strong concerns that the market is ignoring the risk of margin pressure on company profits this year. We also look at the massive downdraft in Adani after short-selling outfit Hindenburg issued its report on the company, wondering at the scale of the contagion. Concerns for global food prices, latest thoughts on crude, the huge week ahead for earnings, central bank meetings and macro data and more. Today's pod features Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities, and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we look at the US market once again righting itself, rallying hard from intraday weakness and the gap lower in Microsoft after its earnings report from the prior day, and keeping the sense of suspense on the coming market direction very much alive as the price action is churning in pivotal areas on the chart. Tesla's report after hours and outlook kept that stock in rallying form as well. US yields eased again, and the Bank of Canada hiked, but indicated that it will pause its tightening cycle for now, one of the first non-EM banks to do so and driving hopes that other central banks will soon follow suit. A look at crude oil, wheat, gold, the earnings calendar ahead and more also on today's pod, which features Ole Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we look at the US market treading water and even dipping a bit after hours, spooked in part by Microsoft guidance and 3M results for the quarter and mulling the incoming Tesla earnings report today after the close after the most popular stock for speculators has rallied over 40% off the recent lows. We note that demand for US treasuries at yesterday's 2-year auction was the strongest in over two years, take stock of the AUD surge overnight on a strong Q4 CPI report, wrap ASML results and look at the rest of today's busy earnings calendar, with a wide variety of companies reporting. Today's pod features Peter Garnry on equities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we discuss the US equity market melting up technically at an awkward moment, as leading indicators suggest we are barreling into a recession. In any case, a big test ahead as earnings season kicks off in earnest with today's batch of companies reporting, including beaten down mega-cap Microsoft after hours. In commodities, a check-in with crude oil, silver's ugly dip relative to still-strong gold, and one of the most shorted commodities, coffee. Stocks to watch today, the macro calendar picking up and more also on today's pod, which features Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.
