U.S. stocks end higher with Big Tech earnings in view
==========
U.S. stocks bounced back on Monday after multiple sessions of selloffs as investors eyed key corporate results this week that should provide more insight on the health of the economy. The Dow gained nearly seven-tenths of a percent, the S&P 500 nearly nine-tenths and the Nasdaq climbed more than one percent. Prior to Monday’s rebound, geopolitical tensions and investors’ rate-cut re-evaluations in light of hotter-than-expected inflation and jobs data contributed to a six-session decline by the S&P and Nasdaq. Markets are now gearing up for quarterly results from some of the so-called Magnificent Seven Big Tech companies this week, including Tesla, Meta Platforms, Alphabet and Microsoft. Shares of Alphabet, Amazon and Apple gained between one-half to one-and-a-half percent on Monday. Nvidia jumped more than 4% to rebound from a 10% drop in the previous session. But Tesla shares dropped nearly 3.5% as the electric vehicle maker cut prices in a number of its major markets, including China and Germany, following price reductions in the United States. Investors this week will also be closely watching Friday’s key personal consumption expenditures or PCE report - the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge - for clues about the central bank’s monetary policy path.

Stock market today: S&P 500 snaps 6-day losing streak ahead of Big Tech earnings rush
==========
The S&P 500 rose 0.9% to break a six-day losing streak and climb back above the 5,000 level. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also gained 0.7%. The Nasdaq Composite rebounded 1.1%, led by shares of Nvidia, which rebounded more than 4% after sinking 10% on Friday. Tesla shares fell more than 3% as investors reacted to the EV maker's price cuts on vehicles in China. Bitcoin climbed more than 2% over the past 24 hours following the cryptocurrency's recent halving. UBS downgraded six of the 'Magnificent 7' stocks, including Apple and Nvidia, from Overweight to Neutral. President Biden's recent call for a tripling of tariffs on Chinese steel was just the latest example of how voters will have a choice this fall that is one of degree as opposed to changes in direction when it comes to China trade. Stocks opened higher on Monday, following their worst week of the year, as investors await a flood of earnings.

Vanguard favors inflation protection amid rising price pressure risks
==========
Vanguard executive Roger Hallam recommends increasing inflation protection in investment portfolios due to recent U.S. data and global risks of a rebound in price pressures. Middle East tensions could lift transportation costs and oil prices, making the strategy attractive for international investors. Vanguard's base scenario is for a 'deferred landing' for the U.S. economy, with continued economic growth and higher inflation but not high enough for the Federal Reserve to hike interest rates again. However, there are 'tail risks' such as a rebound in inflation or weakening economic growth. Vanguard expects inflation and economic growth to continue driving Treasury yields in the next few months, but concerns over the U.S. government deficit and debt burden could gain prominence ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November.

Wall St stocks end higher with major corporate earnings in view
==========
Wall Street stocks ended higher on Monday following a market sell-off in previous sessions as investors eyed a busy week for quarterly results from key companies that would provide a glimpse of the U.S. economy's health. All 11 S&P 500 sectors closed higher, with technology and financial stocks leading gains. Markets were gearing up for quarterly results from megacap companies this week, including some of the so-called Magnificent Seven stocks such as Tesla, Meta Platforms, Alphabet, and Microsoft. Money markets are pricing in only about 41 basis points (bps) of rate cuts this year, down from about 150 bps seen at the beginning of the year, according to LSEG data. According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 gained 44.25 points, or 0.89%, to end at 5,011.48 points, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 169.30 points, or 1.11%, to 15,451.31. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 261.11 points, or 0.69%, to 38,247.51. Tesla shares dropped as the electric vehicle maker cut prices in a number of its major markets, including China and Germany, following price reductions in the United States. Cardinal Health fell sharply after the drug distributor said its contracts with UnitedHealth Group's OptumRx, one of its largest customers, will not be renewed when they expire at the end of June.

US business equipment borrowings fell 7% in March, ELFA says
==========
U.S. companies borrowed 7% less to finance equipment investments in March compared to a year ago, according to the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association (ELFA). In March, companies signed up for new loans, leases, and lines of credit worth $9.3 billion, which is an 18% increase compared to the previous month. ELFA President and CEO Leigh Lytle expects equipment and software investment to pick up in the latter part of the year when the Federal Reserve is expected to begin its rate cuts. ELFA's leasing and finance index, based on a 25-member survey, showed that credit approvals for U.S. companies in January came in at 77%, up from 76% the previous month. The Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation, ELFA's non-profit affiliate, reported that its confidence index for April stood at 52.9, indicating a positive business outlook.

US News & World Report Publishes Op-Ed from Arbor Day Foundation CEO
==========
The article highlights the need for multi-faceted climate solutions like trees and forests. Dan Lambe, CEO of the Arbor Day Foundation, authored an op-ed published by U.S. News & World Report discussing the importance of trees and forests in addressing climate change. Lambe argues that while technological climate solutions like direct air capture are important, trees and forests offer a more versatile and cost-effective approach by capturing carbon, restoring ecosystems, preserving biodiversity, and fostering human well-being.

Short sellers pocket record weekly profit from Big Tech selloff
==========
Traders who bet against the "Magnificent 7" group of big U.S. tech stocks booked their biggest-ever weekly profit of more than $10 billion last week, with the biggest gains coming from their short position in shares of Nvidia and Tesla. The chip designer shed almost 14% last week to clock its worst weekly fall in over 19 months, helping short sellers rake in more than $3 billion in profit. Tesla, whose shares have lagged peers in the coveted group this year, also tumbled by an equal margin, leading to $3 billion in profits for short sellers. Bets against Microsoft and Apple yielded $1 billion in profit each last week. The tech-heavy Nasdaq and the benchmark S&P 500 suffered six straight sessions of declines last week, their longest losing streak since October 2022, as the evidence of U.S. economic resilience and still-high inflation diminished hopes of an interest rate cut anytime soon. Overall, the "Magnificent 7" shed close to $1 trillion in market capitalization last week. Tesla, Meta Platforms, Alphabet, and Microsoft will be in focus this week as the companies gear up to deliver their quarterly numbers.

Gold Retreats as Middle East Tensions Ease Following Strikes
==========
Gold fell more than 2% to trade near $2,345 an ounce after a five-week rally, the longest such streak in more than a year. Israel and Iran have traded attacks, raising concerns about an all-out war in the region, but Tehran has downplayed the impact and significance of Israel's recent strike. The fact that Iran downplayed Israel's response and signaled no retaliation has taken some risk premium out of the market. Traders are also focusing on US economic data, with the personal consumption expenditures price index projected to show the annual rate rose to 2.6% last month. Gold remains almost 15% higher so far this year, supported by central bank buying and demand from Asia. Spot gold slipped 2.0% to $2,343.48 an ounce, while silver sank about 4.3% after a four-week surge. Palladium and platinum also traded lower.
