Dow Rises About 600 Points Ahead of Amazon, Alphabet Earnings - WSJ

U.S. stocks extended gains Tuesday, signaling that major indexes may extend this week’s gains ahead of earnings from technology giants Amazon.com and Google parent Alphabet.

The S&P 500 rose 1.7% after the opening bell, a day after the broad stocks gauge posted its biggest one-day advance since November. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 2%, or 606 points, and the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index climbed roughly 1.3%.

Stock markets have steadied globally this week after a choppy January, when extreme moves in some individual stocks, signs of a slowdown in the U.S. economy, and concerns about the pace of the vaccine rollout and new coronavirus variants weighed on share prices. Investor sentiment has been lifted by robust earnings reports from large-cap companies, as well as a decline in coronavirus cases in the U.S. and several other major economies.

Investors will parse quarterly earnings from Amazon. AMZN +1.58% com and Alphabet after markets close. Shares of giant tech companies have continued to power the broader market in 2021, pushing the Nasdaq Composite up 5% so far this year.

“The bar for tech was actually quite high” coming into earnings season, said Hani Redha, a multiasset portfolio manager at PineBridge Investments. “Overall, for the sector, we are still seeing very strong earnings delivered.”

Earnings for the last quarter of 2020 have been better than analysts had anticipated. Of the 189 companies on the S&P 500 index that had reported results by late Monday, 81% have beaten expectations, according to FactSet.

Silver prices slid after Monday’s steep ascent, when they posted their biggest one-day advance in over a decade in the latest example of wild market moves spurred by online traders. Futures for the metal fell over 7% on Tuesday after CME Group’s Comex exchange responded to the volatility by raising margin requirements.

Some of the stocks that have been most popular among online day-traders plunged. Shares of GameStop continued to slump, dropping about 50%. Headphones-maker Koss and AMC Entertainment Holdings declined 41% and 39% respectively. Express, Naked Brand and BlackBerry also retreated.

In the bond market, yields on 10-year Treasurys ticked up to 1.116%, from 1.077% Monday. The WSJ Dollar Index, which tracks the U.S. currency against a basket of others, slipped 0.1%.

Investors are closely following discussions around another round of coronavirus relief in Washington. A group of Senate Republicans on Monday outlined their roughly $618 billion offer, including a round of $1,000 direct checks for many adults. The proposal omits measures favored by many Democrats, such as aid for state and local governments and a plan to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.

“There is still hope of arriving at something bipartisan,” said Mr. Redha. Passing a smaller bill than President Biden’s proposed $1.9 trillion package along bipartisan lines could be positive for stocks by opening the way to more stimulus spending later in his term, Mr. Redha added.

Shares rallied in overseas markets. The pan-continental Stoxx Europe 600 rose 1.1%, led higher by shares in French companies as well as makers of cars and car parts. In London, silver miner Fresnillo dropped 4.5%.

Shares of BP dropped 1.9% in London. The energy giant returned to profit in the fourth quarter but said Tuesday that the pandemic would continue to challenge its business this year.

In Asia, India’s S&P BSE Sensex index rose 2.5%, extending gains that began when the government laid out plans to boost economic growth and health care spending on Monday. China’s Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.8% and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng climbed 1.2%.

Elsewhere in commodities, Brent-crude futures, the benchmark in international energy markets, rose 2.6% to $57.82 a barrel.

Dow rallies 600 points as the GameStop trading mania continues to reverse course

Jim Cramer: I can’t figure out what will be the next GameStop
U.S. stocks jumped on Tuesday, building on a strong rally in the previous session as concerns about a speculative retail trading frenzy continued to ease.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed about 610 points, while the S&P 500 gained 1.7% after posting its best day since November on Monday. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite popped 1.4%, bringing its week-to-date gains to nearly 4%.


The back-to-back advance on Wall Street coincided with a sharp reversal in GameStop, the video game stock that captivated Wall Street with its massive short squeeze coordinated by a band of retail investors on social media. GameStop, fresh off a 400% rise last week, slid 30% on Monday and fell another 50% Tuesday. The stock has now lost more than half of its value in two days.


“Inevitably, and as with any technically-driven short squeeze, the Reddit rocket ship ran out of fuel and is now crashing back down to earth,” said Max Gokhman, head of asset allocation at Pacific Life Fund Advisors “Upon seeing that gravity still works and fundamentals do matter, other market participants are once again comfortable going back into the market and that’s likely been driving this week’s comeback rally.”

Other highly speculative investments popular with the Reddit crowd also started to decline. AMC Entertainment dropped more than 35%. Futures contracts for silver, which enjoyed their biggest one-day jump in 11 years Monday, slid more than 5% Tuesday.

Investors took it as a sign that the speculative mania from retail traders is unwinding, which is healthy for the overall market and investor confidence. The stock market suffered its worst week since October last week as many grew worried the wild trading activity in those heavily shorted names could be contagious and spill over to other areas of the markets.

Still, some believe that this Reddit-fueled trading mania showed that the collective power of retail investors warrants extra attention.

“Retail investors are a force to be reckoned with,” said Lauren Goodwin, economist and portfolio strategist at New York Life Investments. “This precise example will fade, and retail investors’ influence will ebb and flow over time. But on a single-name basis, I think it would be prudent for investors to expect attention to flare for certain equities from time to time.”

Meanwhile, investors will be following stimulus negotiations in Washington, after congressional Republicans made a counteroffer to President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus plan on Sunday.

Biden met with those lawmakers on Monday as congressional Democrats moved toward passing a reconciliation bill without bipartisan support. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki described the meeting as “substantive and productive.”

Investors also awaited big earnings reports Tuesday, with tech giants Amazon and Alphabet set to release quarterly numbers after the market close.

El petróleo sube un 2%, alcanza su nivel más alto en el año mientras los productores limitan el suministro
Por Jessica Resnick-Ault


NUEVA YORK (Reuters) - Los precios del petróleo subieron más del 2% el martes, alcanzando su nivel más alto en 12 meses después de que los principales productores mostraran que estaban controlando la producción aproximadamente en línea con sus compromisos.

Los índices de referencia estadounidenses y mundiales se recuperaron debido a que el optimismo sobre un mayor estímulo económico estadounidense se sumó al optimismo del mercado por los recortes de suministro.

El crudo Brent subía $ 1.22, o 2.2%, a $ 57.57 el barril a las 12:03 EST (1703 GMT) para su tercer día consecutivo de ganancias, tocando $ 58.05, los niveles más altos desde enero del año pasado.

El petróleo estadounidense ganó 1,26 dólares, o un 2,3%, a 54,81 dólares, después de tocar un máximo de la sesión de 55,26 dólares, el más alto en un año.

El repunte comenzó cuando los aumentos de producción de la OPEP fueron menores de lo esperado.

La producción de crudo de la OPEP aumentó por séptimo mes en enero, pero el aumento fue menor de lo esperado, según un sondeo de Reuters.

Los recortes voluntarios de 1 millón de bpd por parte del líder de facto de la OPEP, Arabia Saudita, se implementarán desde principios de febrero hasta marzo.

La producción rusa aumentó en enero, pero está en línea con el pacto de suministro, mientras que en Kazajstán los volúmenes de petróleo cayeron durante el mes.

El repunte se aceleró ya que el Congreso de Estados Unidos parecía listo para adoptar un paquete de estímulo económico y el clima frío de Estados Unidos impulsó la demanda de combustible para calefacción.

“Obtuvieron el paquete de estímulo económico de Estados Unidos que nadie pensó que obtendríamos”, dijo Bob Yawger, director de futuros de energía de Mizuho en Nueva York.

Una ola de frío y fuertes nevadas en el noreste de EE. UU. Llevaron el margen del combustible para calefacción a un máximo de 8 meses de 15,88 dólares, lo que le dio más apoyo al crudo.

Sin embargo, el gigante de la energía BP señaló un comienzo difícil para 2021 en medio de la disminución de la demanda de productos, y señaló que los volúmenes minoristas de enero disminuyeron aproximadamente un 20% interanual, en comparación con una disminución del 11% en el cuarto trimestre.

No obstante, se espera que la demanda de petróleo se recupere en 2021, dijo BP, y se espera que los inventarios mundiales vuelvan a su promedio de cinco años a mediados de año.

Alphabet revenue grows 23%, cloud business lost more than $1 billion last quarter

Shares of Alphabet, the parent company of Google, rose 6% in extended trading on Tuesday after the company reported fourth-quarter earnings that surpassed analysts’ expectations.

Here’s how the company did:

Earnings: $22.30 per share, adjusted, vs., $15.90 per share as expected by analysts, according to Refinitiv.
Revenue: $56.90 billion, vs. $53.13 billion as expected by analysts, according to Refinitiv.
Google Cloud: $3.83 billion, vs. $3.81 billion as expected by analysts, according to StreetAccount.
YouTube ads: $6.89 billion, vs. $6.11 billion as expected by analysts, according to StreetAccount.
Traffic acquisition costs (TAC): $10.47 billion, vs. $9.32 billion as expected by analysts, according to StreetAccount.

Alphabet’s revenue grew 23% on an annualized basis in the quarter, according to a statement.

The company broke out operating income from its cloud business for the first time: the company lost $5.61 billion during the full year, and $1.24 billion during Q4, showing that the business is still in investment mode.

During the quarter, Google faced three government antitrust lawsuits in the U.S., adding to several others threatening potential future regulation. Regulators in other countries have also taken issue with Google’s competitive practices, like in Australia, where top Google critic News Corp has a major presence. Google said last month it would block its search engine in Australia if the government proceeds with a new code that would force it to pay media companies for the right to use their content.

During the quarter, YouTube also faced questions about its handling of content related to the Capitol insurrection, which brought up a renewed bipartisan push to re-think Section 230, a bill that allows social media providers to host content without assuming liability for it.

During the quarter, the company also faced new scrutiny over employment practices and conditions.

The U.S. Labor board launched a lawsuit against Google, accusing it of retaliation and spying on employees. The company has also come under scrutiny for its handling of a well-known artificial intelligence researcher and technical co-lead of Google’s Ethical AI team Timnit Gebru, who Google fired in early December.

Claiming the treatment was indicative of a broader pattern of Black employee treatment at Google, Gebru’s tweets set off industry-wide support, employees and industry peers who petitioned the company for more answers. CEO Sundar Pichai vowed to investigate the events but has not yet released any findings.
