TOP NEWS
• A Fed soft landing for jobs means something else has to crack; so far it hasn't
The healthy finances of U.S. banks, companies and households, trumpeted during the pandemic by Federal Reserve officials as a source of resilience, may be an obstacle to battling inflation as central bankers raise interest rates in an economy able so far to pay the price.

• Tesla's China output decline trending deeper than Musk forecast, data and internal memos show
Production at Tesla Shanghai factory is on track to fall by over a third this quarter from the first three months of the year as China's zero-COVID lockdowns caused deeper disruptions to output than Elon Musk had predicted.

• Target raises quarterly dividend by 20% despite margin pressure
Target raised its quarterly dividend by 20% to $1.08 per share despite the big-box retailer earlier this week warning of weaker margins.

• U.S. sets high bar to settle Facebook antitrust suit -FTC chair
U.S. Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan, who promised tougher antitrust enforcement, said she would not rule out a settlement with Meta's Facebook, which the agency sued in 2020, but indicated there was a high bar for any agreement.

• Blackstone closes in on $6.3 bln Crown bid after Australia approvals
Australian gambling regulators have cleared private equity giant Blackstone to run the troubled casinos of Crown Resorts in the country's two largest cities, a crucial but largely expected step in its $6.3 billion buyout.


BEFORE THE BELL
U.S. stock index futures rose, with Tesla and other growth stocks leading the gains. European shares were down ahead of the European Central Bank's policy meeting. In Asian equity markets, Japan’s Nikkei ended up as easing of COVID-19 curbs alleviated concerns around regional economic growth, while Chinese shares closed lower weighed down by a decline in growth stocks. Oil prices were in the red. The dollar dipped, while goldprices were subdued on firmer Treasury yields.


STOCKS TO WATCH

Deals Of The Day
• Devon Energy Corp: The company said on Wednesday it would acquire the leasehold interest and related assets of RimRock Oil and Gas LP in the Williston Basin in North Dakota for $865 million. RimRock is a portfolio company of funds managed by U.S. private equity powerhouse Warburg Pincus and is focused on the acquisition and development of North American oil and gas assets. RimRock has over 38,000 net acres of total land holdings in the Williston Basin. Devon said it intends to approve a 13% increase to the fixed quarterly dividend following the closing of the deal, expected in the third quarter. Devon said it expects to incur about $100 million in capital expenditures in 2022 after closing of the deal.

IPOs
• Eni SpA: Italy's Eni plans to list its retail and renewables business named Plenitude on the Milan stock exchange to raise more resources for the group's move towards cleaner energy, the group said. Eni, which owns 100% of Plenitude, did not specify the amount of shares it would sell but added it would retain a majority stake in the unit after the initial public offering (IPO). "Partially selling the business will unlock significant value and accelerate its growth, helping Eni cut the Scope 3 emissions currently generated by our customers, a key step to achieving our net zero target," said Eni Chief Executive Claudio Descalzi in a statement. The IPO is planned for some time in the coming weeks, Eni said. The IPO is consistent with Eni's strategic approach of creating dedicated entities with tailored business models focused on their customers with independent access to the capital markets.

In Other News
• Alphabet Inc, Amazon.com, Apple Inc & Meta Platforms Inc: U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar and lawmakers from both parties said on Wednesday they had the Senate votes needed to pass legislation aimed at reining in the four tech giants, Meta's Facebook, Apple, Alphabet's Google and Amazon.com, and urged a vote be taken. Versions of the bill before the House and Senate would bar the companies from favoring their own businesses in search results and other ways. "We wouldn't be asking for a vote if we didn't think we could get 60 votes," said Klobuchar, who was flanked by Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican who backs the bill, and House sponsors Representative David Cicilline, a Democrat, and Ken Buck, a Republican. In the Senate, bills generally need support from 60 senators to cut off debate and move to a vote on final passage. The Senate is expected to vote on the bill this summer, perhaps as early as late June, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

• Apple Inc: The company plans to fund loans for its forthcoming Apple Pay Later service off its corporate balance sheet, the company said on Wednesday. Apple said its treasury department will decide the exact mechanism it will use to fund the loans and funding sources may shift over time. Loans and creditworthiness decisions will be handled by a wholly owned subsidiary, Apple Financing LLC. Apple announced the pay-later service this week, offering to split purchases up into four equal payments over six weeks. The service will launch later this year along with Apple's latest operating systems for iPhones and iPads and will put it into competition with existing buy-now, pay-later firms such as Affirm Holdings Inc and Block Inc's Afterpay. Apple's pay-later loans will have zero interest and no fees of any kind. Separately, a U.S. judge on Wednesday dismissed a proposed class-action lawsuit accusing Apple of defrauding customers by selling iPhones and iPads whose processors proved vulnerable to two cybersecurity flaws first disclosed in 2018. U.S. District Judge Edward Davila in San Jose, California said customers failed to prove that they overpaid for their devices because Apple knowingly concealed defects, and provided security patches that made its devices significantly slower.

• Blackstone Inc: Australian gambling regulators have cleared the private equity giant to run the troubled casinos of Crown Resorts Ltd in the country's two largest cities, a crucial but largely expected step in its $6.3 billion buyout. The Sydney-listed target that is 37% owned by billionaire James Packer has been under pressure for years since damaging inquiries found it enabled money laundering, while COVID-19 lockdowns and border closures battered its profit and shares. Crown has since backed Blackstone's buyout offer as a way for investors to exit what has become a volatile investment, while analysts have said the sheen of new ownership might speed up efforts to show regulators it has overhauled its governance. Regulators in Perth, Western Australia, where Crown operates its third casino, which is also under state supervision, have not made a decision about Blackstone. In a statement, Crown said only that Blackstone received two regulator approvals and was awaiting a third.

• Boeing Co: The next-generation presidential aircraft being built by Boeing risks further delay due to a tight labor market for mechanics and lower-than-expected security clearance rates, the investigative arm of Congress said on Wednesday. The need for Boeing to switch to an alternative supplier for some interior work was also cited in the report issued by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) as a major schedule risk. Air Force One - emblazoned with the American flag, the words "United States of America" and the seal of the office - is famous the world over as an airborne White House. The current aircraft has 4,000 square feet (372 square meters) of space on three levels, including a conference room and medical suite. "Boeing is experiencing aircraft mechanic workforce limitations due to a competitive labor market," GAO said in its report. "They said that an additional limitation is lower-than-planned security clearance approval rates for skilled workers needed to modify the aircraft."

• British American Tobacco Plc: The company said it was still working towards transferring its Russian business and that it was confident in delivering its financial targets irrespective of how long it takes to offload the unit. The maker of Lucky Strike and Newport cigarettes, which stuck to its 2022 revenue and earnings forecast, said annual global tobacco industry volume is seen down about 3% due to the uncertainty over the Ukraine-Russia conflict. The tobacco giant said the war in Europe was increasing global uncertainty and disruption, making inflationary pressures on supply chains worse and hitting consumption, while increasing costs.

• Credit Suisse Group AG & State Street Corp: The company’s shares fell on growing skepticism about a takeover offer from U.S. financial giant State Street after a media report a day earlier boosted the heavily-shorted stock from a near 20-year low. The lack of any confirmation drove shares in Credit Suisse further down from highs hit on Wednesday. Analysts see any takeover as highly unlikely because of limited synergies and a number of risks ranging from capital costs to litigation. One area of potential interest for State Street could be the asset management business, said Deutsche Bank. The deal speculation comes as Credit Suisse delivered a third consecutive quarterly profit warning. Separately, Credit Suisse Chief Executive Thomas Gottstein called queries over a potential takeover offer from State Street "really stupid", shutting down questions after a media report on the matter sent shares briefly spiking the day before.

• General Motors Co: The company will begin production of its Chevrolet Tracker SUV in Argentina next month, the U.S. automaker and the Argentine government said Wednesday. Shilpan Amin, a GM senior vice president and president of GM Internationational, discussed production plans with Argentine President Alberto Fernandez in a meeting in Los Angeles, GM and the Argentine government said. "The company's goal is to export the new vehicle to other Latin American countries, mainly to Brazil and Colombia, where 80% of the production will be destined," the Argentine government said. A GM spokesman said the meeting "was a good opportunity today to update the government of Argentina on the progress of this important program and the economic benefit it will deliver to the country."

• Meta Platforms Inc: U.S. Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan, who promised tougher antitrust enforcement, said she would not rule out a settlement with Meta's Facebook, which the agency sued in 2020, but indicated there was a high bar for any agreement. In an interview on Tuesday, she also criticized what she said was a large number obviously illegal deals and added she was not a fan of agreements to remedy problematic mergers with asset sales. Nor does she like behavioral remedies, when companies pledge a particular policy change for a certain number of years. Asked about the likelihood of a settlement, Khan said: "We've laid out the relief that we think would be necessary. I think you can yourself calculate the likelihood of Facebook willingly settling for some of that relief."

• Microsoft Corp: The company said on Wednesday the company would stop enforcing existing non-compete clauses in the United States, while also committing to a civil rights audit of its workforce policies in 2023. The Redmond, Washington-based software firm said changes to the enforcement of non-compete clauses would not apply to the company's most senior leadership. Microsoft added the civil rights audit of its workforce policies and practices would be conducted by a third party and a report would be published. The software firm also aims to have salary ranges in all of the company's internal and external job postings across the U.S. by at least January 2023. It would also no longer include confidentiality language in its U.S. settlement and separation agreements that prohibits workers from disclosing conduct they perceive as illegal.

• Shell Plc: Workers on Shell 's Prelude floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility off Western Australia are set to begin 12 days of industrial action on Friday over a pay fight, a union alliance said. Shell did not comment on what impact the mix of short work stoppages and bans on certain tasks, to run through June 21 might have on output at the 3.6 million-tonnes-a-year LNG facility. "Shell recognises the entitlement of all workers to exercise their rights, including the right to participate in industrial action," a Shell spokeswoman said in emailed comments. The Offshore Alliance, which combines the Australian Workers Union (AWU) and the Maritime Union of Australia, is pressing to stop Shell from hiring contract workers at lower pay than the company's own employees doing the same job. "We will not budge from that basic starting point," AWU national secretary Daniel Walton said in emailed comments.

• Tesla Inc: Production at the company’s Shanghai factory is on track to fall by over a third this quarter from the first three months of the year as China's zero-COVID lockdowns caused deeper disruptions to output than Elon Musk had predicted. The U.S. automaker is aiming to make more than 71,000 vehicles at its Shanghai plant in June, according to an internal production memo seen by Reuters. Together with the 44,301 units it produced in April and May, according to data from China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), that would add up to around 115,300 units in the second quarter. In the first three months of the year, Tesla Shanghai manufactured 178,887 cars, according to the CPCA. Separately, Tesla was proceeding with an online hiring event in China and added two dozen new job postings for the country, a week after Elon Musk threatened job cuts at the electric car maker and said the company was "overstaffed" in some areas. Meanwhile, Tesla sold 32,165 China-made vehicles in May, including 22,340 for export, the CPCA said. That compares with 1,152 vehicles sold and none exported in April. The Tesla factory halted work for 22 days beginning late March to comply with a city-wide lockdown in Shanghai.

• Walt Disney Co: The company launched its steaming service in the Middle East and North Africa on Wednesday, vying for market share in a region where the population is young, but few people so far use such services. Disney+ said it had gone live in 16 Arab countries and was tailoring content for the region, including offering Arabic subtitles on most offerings, particularly popular content. Netflix currently leads in the region, with more than 6.8 million subscribers, according to Digital TV Research. Starzplay, an Abu Dhabi-based competitor, ranks second with just under 2 million, followed by Amazon with 1.4 million. Some competitors offer original Arabic content. Digital TV Research forecasts that Netflix will grow its base to 11 million by 2027 and that Disney+ will by then take the second spot with nearly 6.5 million.

• Zendesk Inc: New York-based activist investment firm Jana Partners said on Wednesday it intends to sue software company Zendesk after it failed to set a date for its 2022 annual meeting. The hedge fund said the "failure" was "inexcusable" and the company's board had "inflicted significant damage" on its shareholders. Since 2017, Zendesk's annual meeting has been held between May 16 and May 29, regulatory filings showed.

Goedemorgen,

De markten blijven voorlopig zoeken naar richting, het is vooral wachten op een uitbraak die er nog niet komt. Wall Street sluit wat lager terwijl we de AEX nog wat winst zien boeken. De Dow Transport was wel de index die klappen kreeg, de index verloor woensdag ruim 3,8%. De Dow Jones verloor 0,8% terwijl de Nasdaq 0,75% lager sluit, de SOX verloor 2,4%. De Brent olie sloot opnieuw fors hoger en staat vanmorgen al op 124 dollar, de 10-jaars rente zien we rond de 3,04%. Als we al de indicaties bekijken dan zien we nog geen enkele reden dat de rust snel terug zal keren. Voor de leden lopen er al sinds vorige week enkele short posities, we wachten rustig af ... Meedoen met de signalen kan door lid te worden via de Tradershop ...

Update donderdag 9 juni:
De beurzen blijven zoeken naar een duidelijke richting na dat het stevige herstel van de afgelopen weken stilvalt. De markten blijven volatiel maar op dit moment iets minder dan een paar weken geleden. Wat ik merk is dat beleggers sceptisch blijven en absoluut nog niet zeker zijn dat het herstel zal doorzetten richting de niveaus van begin dit jaar en dat zijn dan meteen ook de hoogte koersen ooit. Het zou een gedachte kunnen zijn want voordien was het altijd zo, een diepe DIP en dan opnieuw records na een fors herstel. We zitten nu wel met een andere situatie, de economie kan in een recessie terechtkomen en dat terwijl de centrale banken de rente nog steeds zullen moeten verhogen om de inflatie te beteugelen.

Alles duurt veel langer dan waar men op had gerekend, zie de olieprijzen die verder oplopen tot nu al 124 dollar voor een vat Brent. Er is geen stoppen aan als we het zo bekijken en met deze olieprijzen zie ik de inflatie niet afnemen in ieder geval. Dus de cyclus met renteverhogingen is nog lang niet voorbij. Vergeet ook niet dat een combinatie van groeivertraging en de inflatie die verder toeneemt desondanks de renteverhogingen ervoor kan zorgen dat we de term "stagflatie" plots moeten gebruiken. Als we dit allemaal goed bekijken dan zie ik niet goed in waarom de beurzen nog veel potentie omhoog hebben?

Op Wall Street zien we vooral verlies woensdag, de Dow Jones sluit 269 punten (0,8%) lager terwijl de S&P 500 index 45 punten (1,1%) verloor. De Nasdaq moest 89 punten (0,75%) inleveren terwijl de Nasdaq 100 index 97 punten (0,7%) lager sluit. De SOX index deed het bij de tech sector nog wat slechter, deze index sluit 2,4% lager. De index die er absoluut slecht bijlag woensdag was de Dow Transport, we zien bij deze index een verlies van 556 punten (-3,8%).

In Europa was er wel winst voor de AEX index, we zien een plus van 1,85 punten (0,25%). De DAX verloor opnieuw en nu 111 punten ofwel 0,75%, de Franse CAC 40 verloor 0,8% terwijl de BEL 20 met 0,1% terug moest.

Vanmorgen zien we op Wall Street dat de futures niet veel doen en laten een klein verlies zien, het is nu vooral afwachten hoe de markten zullen openen later vandaag om 15:30. We zitten nog altijd in een soort pauze, de markten weten het even niet en bewegen zijwaarts. Later vandaag (donderdag) na de middag, krijgen we nog de ECB met een beslissing over de rente en dat kan de markten in beweging krijgen en dan vooral Europa. De vraag is of de ECB onverwacht al de rente zal verhogen?

Wat betreft de posities die open staan sinds vorige week is het wachten, ze bewegen tussen een kleine plus en een klein verlies. Zodra de markten een richting kiezen weten we het definitief, het momentum om wat shorts op te nemen kregen we vorige week was goed maar het vervolg blijft onduidelijk tot nu toe. We blijven rustig en zien het verloop aan, waar het kan of moet zal ik in ieder geval een beslissing nemen.

De signaaldiensten:
We kregen afgelopen dinsdag een mooi momentum om enkele short posities op te nemen voor de leden. Dat werden meteen de eerste posities voor deze nieuwe maand juni. De maand mei werd opnieuw met winst afgesloten, dit jaar de 5e maand op rij. Waar het om gaat is om dit jaar (2022) verder goed te handelen, tot nu toe lukt dat prima want we moeten de marktomstandigheden zeker niet onderschatten. Als er meer ofwel teveel werd gehandeld dan was de kans heel groot dat we ook enkele grote missers moesten toestaan. Alles op zijn tijd en vooral rustig blijven bij de huidige marktomstandigheden.

De resultaten voor dit jaar 2022 lopen in ieder geval gestaag verder op. Lid worden is een goeie keuze, het ondersteunt veel leden bij het maken van hun eigen beslissing, ook voor u kan dat enorm helpen in deze moeilijke markt.

Marktoverzicht:
Wall Street sluit lager, de Dow Jones verloor 0,8% terwijl de S&P 500 index 1,1% lager sluit. De Nasdaq zien we 0,75% lager na dat de index gedurende de sessie positief stond, de SOX index verloor 2,4%. Op Wall Street was er ook een groot verlies bij de Transport aandelen, de Dow Transport sluit 3,8% lager. In Europa zien we verlies bij de DAX (-0,75%) terwijl de AEX 1,85 punten (0,25%) hoger sluit.

Dow Jones:
De Dow Jones sluit opnieuw onder de 33.000 punten met een verlies van 269 punten, de index kon opnieuw niet doortrekken tot boven de range die we al een tijdje zien. Rond de 33.200-33.250 punten zien we een redelijk zware weerstand nu, later het 50-daags gemiddelde als weerstand en we zien dat 50-MA nu rond de 33.390 punten. Later weerstand rond de 33.800 en de 34.000 punten.

Steun nu eerst rondom de 33.000 punten, als de index echt doorzakt onder die 33.000 punten dan zien we steun rond de 32.500 en de 32.250 punten. Later steun rond de 32.000, de 31.750 en de 31.500 punten. Hou er rekening mee dat alles heel snel kan gaan in deze fase waar we nu in zitten, in no-time kan de Dow Jones behoorlijk wat verliezen mocht de daling echt gaan versnellen onder die belangrijke 32.900-33.000 punten.

AEX index:
De AEX bleef positief en sluit zo'n 2 punten hoger, de index blijft wel zoeken rond de 708-710 punten steun. Even een top rond de 714 punten waar we de volgende weerstand zien uitkomen maar de AEX krijgt wel moeite om verder door te breken boven de 710 punten. De komende sessies worden weer belangrijk met weerstand rond de 714-715 punten en de 718-720 punten. Later rond de 725 en de 730-732 punten weerstand.

Steun nu eerst rond de 708-710 punten, later rond de 700-702 punten steun maar daar vooral opletten voor een mogelijke daling tot onder die 700 punten want dan kan de index snel terug tot de 690, de 680 en zelfs tot rond de 670 punten.

DAX index:
De DAX krijgt het wat moeilijker nu en moest opnieuw 110 punten inleveren woensdag, de steunzone 14.350-14.400 punten werd al getest maar de index kon erboven sluiten (14.445). Steun nu die 14.350-14.400 punten, later de 14.155 punten waar we het 50-daags gemiddelde zien uitkomen. Verder steun rond de 14.000 en de 13.900 punten, later de 13.800 en de 13.500 punten als steun.

Weerstand nu eerst rond de 14.550 punten met later de top van maandag die uitkomt rond de 14.710 punten. Verder letten we op de 14.800 en de 14.900-15.000 punten weerstand mocht de DAX uitbreken.

Nasdaq Composite:
De Nasdaq verliest wat en blijft zo binnen de bekende range van de afgelopen sessies, de index kan nog niet naar boven uitbreken al komen er enkele pogingen die tot nu toe telkens falen. We letten nu weer op de onderkant rond de 12.000 punten, als de Nasdaq daar onder zakt dan ligt de weg open richting de 11.750 en de 11.500 punten. Voorlopig nog weinig over te zeggen, de index wacht tot de grote beweging op gang komt.

Weerstand zien we nu rond de 12.250-12.300 punten, later rond de 12.500-12.600 punten een redelijk zware weerstand. Steun nu de 12.000 punten met snel daaronder de 11.900 en de 11.750 punten. Later steun rond de 11.500 en de 11.250 punten.

Overzicht resultaat dit jaar (2021):
De markt zit nu gevangen binnen een range, er zal snel een uitbraak moeten komen om duidelijkheid te krijgen. We zitten al in wat kleine posities maar er gebeurde tot nu toe nog weinig. We houden het geduld en mocht de grotere beweging onze kant op komen dan scoren we denk ik redelijk snel het eerste resultaat voor de maand juni. Het resultaat voor de maand mei werd positief afgerond, het is de 5e opeenvolgende maand met winst dit jaar. Waar er zich een mooi momentum voordoet zal ik uiteraard altijd instappen met wat kleine posities, dat hebben we afgelopen dinsdag dan ook gedaan voor de leden. De bedoeling is om deze posities even aan te houden maar waar het kan zal ik op tijd winst nemen. Het resultaat voor dit jaar 2022 loopt verder op, we zitten al met een mooie plus bij alle abonnementen.
