Daily Summary: semiconductor sector leads Wall Street declines 📌

18:56 30 July 2024
  • US indices are losing ground in anticipation of tomorrow's Fed decision and Microsoft's earnings release after the close of the cash session. The leader of the declines is Nvidia and the broader semiconductor sector. BigTech companies also remain under pressure.

  • The US100 index of technology companies loses 1.60% and falls below 19,000 points, the US500 is down 0.80% and the small-cap index gains 0.11%.

  • CPI data from Germany came in slightly above expectations, even though regional data indicated slightly lower inflationary pressures in Germany. However, the small magnitude of the surprise does not cause excessive movements in the currency market.

  • Microsoft will report its Q4 results for fiscal 2024 today after the close of trading on Wall Street. This will be the first earnings report from a cluster of tech giants scheduled for this week and could affect market sentiment ahead of reports from other tech giants.
