US equity markets advanced - Dow rose +272-points or +0.65%. Cisco Systems Inc rallied +4.85% and was the leading performer in the 30-stock index overnight after the networking company reported earnings per share (EPS) and revenue that topped consensus analysts' forecasts for the fiscal third quarter after the close of the previous session. UnitedHealth Group dropped -10.93% following a report from The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) published after the close of the previous session that said the Justice Department was investigating the insurer for possible Medicare fraud. UnitedHealth said in a statement it hadn't been notified by the Justice Department of the criminal investigation, adding that it stands “by the integrity of our Medicare Advantage program.” Apple Inc eased -0.47% after President Trump chided the company's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Tim Cook, saying he wanted the iPhone maker to build more of its devices in the U.S. and not in India. “I had a little problem with Tim Cook yesterday. I said to him, Tim, you're my friend. I treated you very good. You're coming here with $500 billion but now here you are building all over India,” President Trump said in Qatar.

In this episode of Grumpy Old Geeks, we're serving up a buffet of dystopia with a side of snark. First, Kuwait has finally realized crypto bros are an energy drain, not a feature. Celsius Network's founder gets 12 years for running a “safe investment” Ponzi scheme. And in Lopez v. Apple, we find yet another reason to question Cupertino's moral compass.Then it's time for a trip through the tech trash fire. DoorDash gobbles up Deliveroo, proving there's no such thing as too many overpriced salads. Google wants your kids to befriend Gemini—because what could go wrong giving tweens supervised AI access? Tesla's “Robotaxi” trademark gets the boot for being as generic as Elon's pickup lines. Meanwhile, Grok strips in public, deepfake porn sites get the axe, and dating app “Raw” rawdogs user data like it's the early 2000s internet. We also hit peak Black Mirror with brain-typed tweets, AI-resurrected relatives, and crypto kidnappers playing real-life GTA.On Media Candy, the streaming overlords dump trailers like Halloween candy. Squid Game is back to traumatize you, Star Trek: Lower Decks keeps boldly going where no animated series should, and The Old Guard 2 teases a Theron-vs-Thurman sword fight. Plus, Apple's UX team found the “enhance” button, Netflix wants to be helpful (lol), and Google dreams of becoming a Hollywood darling. Over in Apps & Doodads, Apple wants to stagger iPhone drops, Disney sells you a $3,000 droid with zero sass, and Smart Flowerpots are now a thing because apparently, you can't be trusted to water your plant.And finally, it's time for The Dark Side with Dave, where Bittner brings us malware, click tracks, fake vocals, and the shocking truth about KISS's lipsync disaster in Antwerp. We also dip into ILM's jaw-dropping legacy, Star Wars' shady back alleys, and a new Disneyland in Abu Dhabi, because nothing says “happiest place on Earth” like 120°F desert heat.

 US equity markets advanced to cap as investors reacted to strong monthly employment data and news that China is evaluating the possibility of trade talks with the U.S. - Dow rose +564-points or +1.39% to 41,317.43. American Express Co (up +3.09%), 3M Co (+3.03%) and Nike Inc (+3.22%) all climbed over >3%. Nvidia Corp rose +2.59% a report in The Information that the artificial intelligence (AI) chipmaker is working to design semiconductors to sell in China that would comply with U.S. trade restrictions. Microsoft Corp rallied +2.32%, lifting its market capitalisation to ~US$3.235 trillion and pushed passed Apple Inc (down 3.74%, market capitalisation ~US$3.067 trillion) to become the largest company in the U.S. by market capitalisation as investors responded to the latest quarterly results from the technology giants last week.

On today's podcast: 1) China said it is assessing the possibility of trade talks with the US, the first sign since Donald Trump hiked tariffs last month that negotiations could begin between the two sides. 2) Apple Inc.’s much-awaited quarterly earnings report failed to soothe investor concerns about its biggest challenges, including escalating tariff costs and a slowdown in China. 3) President Donald Trump will request a record $1.01 trillion in national security spending for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, more than 13% over the current year’s figure, according to administration officials familiar with the matter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Asian stocks edged up and US equity-index futures reversed losses Friday after China said it's evaluating possible US trade talks, boosting optimism that tariff tensions will tamp down. China's Commerce Ministry said in a Friday statement that it had noted senior US officials repeatedly expressing their willingness to talk to Beijing about tariffs, and urged officials in Washington to show "sincerity" towards China. Meanwhile, Japanese shares gained 1.2% on optimistic comments from Japan's chief trade negotiator on their own talks. We get reaction to the day's market headlines from David Finnerty, Bloomberg FX and Rates Strategist in Singapore. Plus - the S&P 500 has gained for eight consecutive days, its longest run since August, amid increased optimism that trade tensions are waning since President Donald Trump announced century-high levies April 2nd. Investors will turn their attention to the US jobs report due Friday, the last piece of significant data this week, after disappointing earnings from Apple Inc. and Amazon Inc. We speak with Bill Adams, Senior Vice President and Chief Economist at Comerica Bank.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the S&P 500 closed higher for five consecutive sessions, the American equity benchmark posted its longest winning streak since November. Monday marked the fifth time in the past month the index fully wiped out an intraday gain or drop of 1% or more. The number of reversals already matches the total seen in the entire year of 2024. After the US close, President Donald Trump renewed criticism of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell as he championed his economic policies and tariff regime during a Tuesday event to mark his 100th day in office. We break down Trump's remarks with Joe Mathieu, Host of Bloomberg's Balance of Power. As uncertainty around US tariffs looms over global markets, investors in Asia are looking ahead to key economic data from China to get a sense of the macro environment. We speak with Mary Nicola, Bloomberg MLIV Strategist in Singapore. Plus - four of the so-called Magnificent Seven - Microsoft Corp., Apple Inc., Meta Platforms Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. - are due to report earnings this week. Analysts expect the group — which also includes Google-parent Alphabet, Tesla Inc. and Nvidia Corp. — to deliver an average of 15% profit growth in 2025, a forecast that's barely budged since the start of March despite the flareup in trade tensions. We preview the numbers with David Nicholson, Chief Research Officer at The Futurum Group.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's podcast: 1) European stocks surrendered most of an early advance and Wall Street futures pared gains as China played down progress in its trade dispute with the US. 2) Google parent Alphabet Inc. reported first-quarter revenue and profit that exceeded analysts’ expectations, buoyed by continued strength in its search advertising business. 3) Apple Inc. is seeking to import most of the iPhones it sells in the US from India by the end of next year, accelerating a shift beyond China to mitigate risks related to tariffs and geopolitical tensions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The US Customs and Border Protection announced in an updated guidance late Friday that the government has exempted smartphones, computers and other electronic products from its "reciprocal tariffs."美国海关与边境保护局在周五深夜更新的政策指南中宣布，政府已将智能手机、计算机及其他电子产品从"对等关税"清单中豁免。The document stated that the exemption applies to electronic products entering the United States after April 5, and "reciprocal tariffs" already paid can be refunded upon request.文件显示，此项豁免适用于4月5日之后进入美国市场的电子产品，已缴纳的"对等关税"可根据申请退还。"This is a massive U-Turn in tariff policy," said the Kobeissi Letter, a financial newsletter on social media X.社交媒体X平台知名金融简报《Kobeissi快讯》评论称："这是关税政策的重大转折。"The latest announcement could potentially cushion consumers from sticker shock while benefiting electronics giants including Apple Inc and Samsung Electronics Co, according to Bloomberg.据彭博社分析，这项最新政策既能缓解消费者面临的价格冲击，也将使苹果公司和三星电子等科技巨头获益。The broad and unpredictable tariff policies have triggered turbulence in financial markets and even drawn criticism from key figures within the Republican Party, including former Vice President Mike Pence.当前广泛且难以预测的关税政策已引发金融市场动荡，甚至招致包括前副总统迈克·彭斯在内的共和党核心人物的批评。exemptv.豁免refundv.退还cushionv.缓解triggerv.引发reciprocal tariffs对等关税

US equity markets advanced as investors digested another busy slate of information including the latest developments in a trade war with China, earnings reports from major banks and economic data - Dow rose +619-points or +1.56%, with the 30-stock index trading in an 1,150 point range after swinging more than >2,000 points between its high and low for the day in each of the preceding four (4) trading sessions.  Apple Inc (up +4.06%) was the leading Dow component on Friday (11 April) amid growing optimism the iPhone maker could win an exemption from the Trump administration's tariffs. Nvidia Corp, which outsources manufacturing to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) Ltd (up +3.94% on the New York Stock Exchange), gained +3.12% after the China Semiconductor Industry Association said chips made by U.S. firms with outsourced manufacturing operations would not be subject to tariffs on U.S. goods. Meta Platforms Inc (up +7.7%) and the Federal Trade Commission face off tonight AEST over antitrust allegations which could force the social media giant to unwind its acquisition of messaging platform WhatsApp and photo-sharing app Instagram. Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mark Zuckerberg is expected to appear in the witness stand.

US equity markets advanced after another choppy session following another flurry of tariff-related headlines, but settled well off their session highs - Dow rose +312-points or +0.78% to 40,524.79. Apple Inc rose +2.21%, paring an earlier gain of as much as +7.5% after the US administration that some consumer electronics and computer hardware would be exempt from the reciprocal 125% trade tariffs placed on China. Nvidia Corp (down -0.20%) said it would for the first time make artificial-intelligence (AI) supercomputers entirely in the United States. Nvidia said it expects to produce up to US$500B in AI infrastructure in the U.S. with its partners within the next four years.

US equity markets soared, arresting a four-session slide after President Trump's decision to delay some of the tariffs announced last week for 90 days, effective immediately, unleashed a flood of buying - Dow rallied +2,963-points or +7.87% biggest percentage advance since March 2020. Nvidia Corp soared +18.72% to lead all 30 index components higher, while Apple Inc (+15.33%, logging its best daily performance since January 1998 and adding more than >US$400B in market capitalisation) and Boeing Co (+15.37%) both jumped over >15%.

A late session slide erased earlier strong gains on US equity markets to cap another volatile session after Beijing vowed to "fight to the end" in response to President Trump's threat of imposing new 50% tariffs unless China rapidly removed its retaliatory measures - Dow settled -320-points or -0.84% lower, having been up as much as +1,461-points or +3.85% at its session peak – marking the biggest erased percentage gain since April 2020. Apple Inc (down -4.98%) extended its decline into a fourth straight session, with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt saying that President Trump “absolutely” wants iPhones to be manufactured in the U.S. (the company currently assembles a large majority of its products in China). The Times of India reported that Apple transported five planes full of iPhones and other products from India to the US in just three-days during the final week of March to avoid a 10% reciprocal tariff that took effect on 5 April. Nike Inc (-4.21%) also fell over >4%. Nvidia Corp (fell -1.37%)

US equity markets mixed after another volatile as the sweeping Trump administration tariff measures continued to reverberate, with the president threatening even higher rates against China and the White House denying reports that they were considering a 90-day tariff pause on all countries except China - Dow fell -349-points or -0.91%, spiking as much as +2.3% during a brief morning session surge.  The Dow swung more than >2,500 points between its intra-day low and high, its largest intra-day points swing on record and all within the opening hour of trading.

Tariff announcements cause market chaos           In an effort to balance trade relationships across the globe, several new tariff announcements were made on April 2nd. This caused the markets to decline sharply in Thursday's session with the Nasdaq closing down nearly 6% and the S&P 500 closing down nearly 5%. I must say I was not necessarily surprised by that decline, but was more surprised by the run up in the market in the days leading up to the announcement. The administration has been talking about these tariffs for months and I for one was not necessarily surprised by the actions they plan on taking. The U.S. will be implementing a baseline tariff rate of 10% on all countries and that goes into effect on April 5th. After research into trade practices from other countries including tariffs, currency manipulation, and trade barriers the U.S. will also be implementing higher duties on several countries. This includes an additional 34% on China, which comes on top of the previous tariffs for a new effective rate of 54%. According to the administration, this compares to a calculated tariff rate of 67% from China. Other tariffs included a 20% rate on the European Union vs a 39% calculated rate on our goods, a 46% rate on Vietnam vs a 90% calculated rate on our goods, a 32% rate on Taiwan vs a 64% calculated rate on our goods, and a 24% rate on Japan vs a calculated rate of 46% on our goods. This is just a small sample as more than 180 countries and territories will be facing these reciprocal tariffs. The problem here is the bottom for stocks might not be in as there will likely be continued announcements from other countries with their response. Some countries like China, France, Canada, and Germany have responded with a combative tone and a promise to fight back. I continue to believe this trade war will not be solved overnight, but I must say with the pullback there definitely appears to be some opportunities surfacing. I'd be careful waiting for the all clear on this as by the time that comes, you may have missed some great opportunities.     Trade barriers increase around the world It is not just the US that is increasing tariffs, many countries around the world are also increasing their tariffs. There are some economists predicting that we could be headed to the biggest increase in protectionism since the 1930s, when the Smoot-Harley tariff act was in place. Back then the average tariff rate in the US was nearly 30%. Today it is around 8.4%. When it comes to the group of 20 leading economies in the world, there are roughly 4650 import restrictions, of which the US has roughly 1000. The EU, China, Canada, Mexico account for roughly 700 restrictions with the other 15 countries accounting for 3000 restrictions. Some people feel the United States is being aggressive by adding all these tariffs to products coming in to our country, but when you look at the numbers and the facts, it appears we are just playing catch-up and we are way behind the rest of the world as they have been putting tariffs on our products going into their countries. I don't understand why we are singled out as being such a bad country and unfriendly to other countries just because we want free trade in the world. I'm sure if they dropped their tariffs, we would do the same.   Jobs Report shows some positive news on a difficult day for the market With all the news around tariffs and trade, it's almost like everyone forgot that a jobs report was released on Friday. Job growth remained very healthy with nonfarm payrolls increasing by 228,000 in the month of March. This easily topped the estimate of 140,000 and was a nice increase compared to February's reading of 117,000. The previous two months did see negative revisions of 34,000 in the month of February and 14,000 in the month of January. The unemployment rate did tick higher to 4.2% from last month's reading of 4.1%, but this was largely due to an increase in the labor force participation rate. A major positive on the inflation front was wage inflation came in at annual rate of 3.8%, which was down from last month's reading of 4.0% and was more in line with a healthy level that creates growing wages but puts less pressure on inflationary forces. I was surprised to federal government positions declined by just 4,000 in the month, but yet a report Thursday from Challenger, Gray & Christmas indicated Doge-related layoffs have totaled more than 275,000 so far. Apparently, the BLS noted that workers on severance or paid leave are still counted as employed, which would have a large impact on the employment numbers. It will be interesting to see how the employment situation shakes out in this category and if the private sector can absorb those lost jobs. It's hard for some to look through the noise of all the trade announcements, but I still believe the economy is in alright spot and the growing concerns for recession may be overblown.     What is a Solo 401(k)? A Solo 401(k) is a retirement savings plan designed for self-employed individuals or business owners with no employees. Also known as an individual 401(k), this plan offers significant tax advantages and higher contribution limits compared to other retirement accounts, such as SEP-IRAs.  One major advantage of a Solo 401(k) is the ability to contribute as both the employer and the employee. For 2024, the contribution limit as an employee is $23,000 (or $30,500 if age 50 or older), which can be made on a pre-tax or Roth basis. For employer contributions, the limit is up to 25% of compensation, bringing the total maximum contribution to $69,000 (or $76,500 for those 50+). Many plans now allow employer contributions to be made on a Roth basis as well. To be eligible, you must be a business owner with no full-time employees, which includes sole proprietors, independent contractors, freelancers, and small business owners. However, spouses of business owners may also participate, effectively doubling the possible contribution. Another key benefit is that a Solo 401(k) can be paired with backdoor Roth contributions, making it an attractive option for high-income earners looking for additional tax-advantaged savings. This offers a distinct advantage over Traditional IRAs and SEP-IRAs, which can trigger taxes on backdoor Roth conversions. A Solo 401(k) is an excellent retirement savings tool for self-employed individuals due to its high contribution limits and tax benefits. Additionally, some business owners may still be eligible to make a 2024 employer contribution if completed before the tax filing deadline.   Companies Discussed: LPL Financial Holdings Inc. (LPLA), Deckers Outdoor Corporation (DECK), Apple, Inc. (AAPL) & Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL)

Apple is going to take a beating Goods shipped from China to the US will face 54% tariffs, and Vietnam —where Apple has shifted some of its manufacturing— has tariffs of 46%. The only good news for consumers is the inventory that's already in the US isn't subject to tariffs, and companies have been stockpiling inventory – but that will change. We also don't know how much of these tariffs will be absorbed into the profit margin, and how much will be passed on. It's partly why Apple's stock has taken a beating, because they're either going to see decreased revenue if consumers hold onto their devices longer, or their profits crunched by increased costs. Nintendo's halting pre-orders on its new console The hotly anticipated Switch 2 won't be taking pre-orders in the US on April 9th, as was the plan just two days ago. The company says it's taking the step "in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions”. Nintendo says the console's June 5th release date is unchanged. They also haven't said where its new consoles will be made. Initial feedback from the launch was about the price – from the console to the games to the accessories, things are more expensive all around. Switch 2 will hit stores at $449.99 USD / $799 NZD, along with new games “Mario Kart World” and “Street Fighter 6″. It's larger and faster than the OG Switch and includes a dedicated button to launch a chat with your friends. The improved processors mean 24 racers can compete in Mario Kart World at the same time.

Investors have their eyes on Treasury yields following Monday's losses fueled partly by a yield rally. Rates could stay in focus ahead of Treasury auctions and CPI later this week.Here is Schwab's early look at the markets for Tuesday, December 10th: Major indexes begin the day licking their wounds and watching the bond market after moderate losses Monday to start a week dominated by U.S. inflation data and central bank meetings. Stocks finished near their lows yesterday, potentially putting the market in a weak spot on the charts as Tuesday dawns.Treasury yields rose across much of the curve Monday amid worries about tomorrow's Consumer Price Index (CPI) data and reaffirmation by President-elect Trump that he stands by his tariff and deportation policies, which the market see as inflationary.  Adding to pressure on bonds, which move the opposite direction of yields, was The New York Federal Reserve's November consumer inflation expectations for the year ahead climbing to 3% from 2.9% in October. That followed year-ahead inflation expectations jumping to 2.9% from 2.6% in Friday's University of Michigan's preliminary December consumer sentiment report, the highest in six months. "CPI & PPI loom large this week, and markets will be fixated on this inflation data," said Joe Mazzola, head trading and derivatives strategist at Schwab.Besides CPI, tomorrow brings a rate decision from the Bank of Canada followed by Thursday's expected rate cut by the European Central Bank (ECB). The CPI data and Thursday's Producer Price Index (PPI) could have a large impact on the U.S. rate outlook, but the Fed is seen almost certainly lowering rates when it gathers next week. Tech stumbled to start the week after driving last week's rally to record highs. The softness surfaced after China announced an anti-trust investigation into Nvidia (NVDA), which weighed on Nvidia and most other semiconductor stocks. Tech may find itself under more pressure today after Oracle (ORCL) disappointed late Monday with earnings that missed analysts' average estimate. Revenue came in as expected, dominated by AI-driven cloud performance, but shares fell 7% in pre-market trading. While Nvidia and semiconductors weighed on tech yesterday thanks partly to Beijing, not all the China news was bearish. China's Politburo shifted to looser monetary policy and promised more stimulus. This gave U.S.-listed Chinese stocks a boost and appeared to help U.S. gold mining and European luxury goods makers that might benefit from increased Chinese demand. Apple (AAPL), with a large presence in the Chinese market, registered a new all-time high Monday.  As of late Monday, traders saw an 86% chance rates will fall 25 basis points at the conclusion of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting December 17–18 and a 14% chance of no move, based on the CME FedWatch Tool. It's unlikely the Fed would want to rock the boat by pausing next week with the market primed for a cut. But the central bank might deliver a so-called "hawkish trim," meaning it could lower rates and also express caution in its updated projections and Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's press conference. Heading into Tuesday, the question is whether Wall Street sees any "buy the dip" action after Monday's washout. The worst performing S&P 500 sector yesterday was mega-cap dominated communication services, while only the defensive health care sector made any gains.The S&P 500® index (SPX) fell 37.42 points (0.61%) Monday to 6,052.85; the Dow Jones Industrial Average®($DJI) slipped 240.59 points (0.54%) to 44,401.93; and the Nasdaq Composite®($COMP) fell 123.08 points (0.62%) to 19,736.69.Important DisclosuresInformation on this site is for general informational purposes only and should not be considered individualized recommendations or personalized investment advice.
