As for the S&P 500 and NASDAQ, the week ended on Friday when it started on Monday: new levels of increasing confidence that the United States will display favorable trade deals with the main trading partners and that the definitions will not suffocate growth, and optimism about the force reinforcing profits of artificial intelligence.

This compensates for some less promotional signals than American and European profits on the impact of definitions and uncertainty in trade. But the bulls seem to control, and the markets are at the risk of heavy event next week in or near their levels at all.

Main market movements for this week

* S&P acquires 1.5 %, and every day of the week, and Nasdak rises 1 %. * Intel Slump 10.4 % shares a Q2 loss. * The Japanese Nikkei 225 jumps by 4 %, reaching 1 % of the record in Lastjuly 42,426 points. * JGB’s return in Japan increases for 10 years 7.5 basis points, which is an increase in the largest two weeks since May, to its highest level in 17 years exceeding 1.60 %. * The Chinese yuan rises to the strongest level in the year, reaching 7,1478 per dollar on Thursday.

It ends at another height

The week, which has just ended a wave of high stock market in Wall Street and around the world, where investors chanted the American and Japan Commercial deal and a group of corporate profits results. Next week will be filled with more sensitive events in the market.

Political decisions from the Federal Reserve and other major central banks, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, the American PCE inflation, profits from four technology giants “Seven”, and the date of Washington’s tariff on August 1 for most countries waiting.

Meanwhile, US and Chinese officials in Stockholm will meet to discuss the extension of the deadline on August 12 to reach a commercial deal. This will be the round of US Treasury talks, Scott Besand, with his Chinese counterparts

This is a lot to accumulate on the investor board, and one wonders about how everything is digested. It will not be surprising that the fluctuation of market fluctuations is surprisingly low – Vix index is the lowest in five months, and the treasury market transfer index near its lowest level in three and a half years.

Meanwhile, the demand for US government debt will be tested, as Treasury auctions are at $ 173 billion of notes in the 2-7 years of the curve. The last auctions of the longest demand bonds have attracted strong demand and the foreign private sector investors bought huge amounts of treasury in May, preaching good.
