Exciting Market Developments and Upcoming Events


Week
This week witnessed Donald Trump's inauguration and his initial proclamations, generating significant excitement in the markets. The S&P 500 celebrated by reaching a new all-time high on Thursday. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, Europe showcased a remarkable rebound, driven by the banking sector, luxury goods, and the positive outlook of a lessened trade conflict with the United States.

Quarterly earnings reports have continued to enhance the stock market's momentum, presenting a generally optimistic scenario. However, with important central bank decisions approaching and impending earnings releases from major U.S. tech companies, investors should prepare for ongoing volatility.

Looking ahead, the last week of January is set to be eventful:

Central Banks in Focus
Monetary policy decisions are anticipated in Canada, the United States, Europe, and Brazil.

Macroeconomic Indicators
Investors will closely examine the first estimate of U.S. GDP for Q1 and the December PCE inflation indicator in the USA.

Corporate Earnings
A wave of earnings reports will come from heavyweights like Microsoft, Meta, Tesla, Apple, and Amazon, along with LVMH, ASML, and SAP in Europe.
With so much on the horizon, the markets are sure to stay lively.

Wishing everyone an excellent weekend!
