CDC reclassified 'Delta' variant as one of concern #FinanceUSA #StockMarketNEWS
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reclassified the Delta variant as one of concern, underscoring how much more prevalent the B.1.617.2 variant first identified in India is becoming in the U.S. The variant was previously considered a variant of interest, a less concerning categorization; other variants of concern are the B.1.1.7 or Alpha, the B.1.351 or Beta, the P.1 or Gamma, and two others. The Delta variant made up less than 5% of cases in each state, as of May 22, which is the most recent data available on the CDC's website. However, Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical advisor to President Joe Biden, earlier this month said this variant seems to be more transmissible than the Alpha variant and may carry a higher risk of getting sicker and ending up in the hospital if someone gets infected with this variant.

U.S. stock market attempts to claw back gains Thursday as investors weigh hawkish Fed and punchy U.S. dollar #FinanceUSA #StockMarketNEWS
U.S. stock benchmarks struggled for altitude Thursday morning, a day after the Federal Reserve signaled its intention to raise interest rates sooner than previously forecast and upped its forecast for inflation and economic growth. The Dow Jones Industrial Average , which closed below its 50-day moving average on wednesday for the first time since early March, was inching higher at 34,059, up 25 points, or less than 0.1%; the S&P 500 index was rising to 4,229, up 4 points, buoyed by gains in financials and consumer staples. The technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index was trading at 14,059, up 0.1%, as rates for benchmark government debt remained somewhat buoyant, weighing on yield-sensitive sectors. On Wednesday, the Fed's median projection showed that policy makers see a lift to benchmark rates, currently at a range between 0% and 0.25%, to 0.6% by the end of 2023, sooner than they anticipated in March. Thursday's moves come as the U.S. dollar has made bullish post-Fed moves. The ICE U.S. Dollar Index , a gauge of the dollar against a half-dozen currencies, was up 0.6% at 91.69.

Gold nosedives Thursday, puts futures on the verge of worst daily drop in 7 months #FinanceUSA #StockMarketNEWS
Gold futures were headed for their biggest one-day loss in about seven months Thursday, following a hawkish turn by the Federal Reserve. August gold contracts were down 4.2% at ,784.80, which would represent the steepest percentage drop since Nov. 9, FactSet data show. The tumble comes after the Federal Open Market Committee signaled an interest rate rise soon than expected, with its forecasts suggesting two increases in 2023. And the Fed lifted its inflation forecasts for this year and next. The moves helped to jolt the U.S. dollar higher along with benchmark yields for government debt, weighing mightily on the yellow metal.

Nvidia price target boosted to Street high of 4 at Jefferies #FinanceUSA #StockMarketNEWS
Shares of Nvidia Corp. are up 2.8% in Thursday morning trading after Jefferies analyst Mark Lipacis boosted his price target on the stock to 4 from 0. The new target is the highest listed on FactSet. Lipacis is more upbeat about Nvidia's prospects following a recent conversation with the company's chief financial officer, Colette Kress, which highlighted the potential for software licensing in the data center. "While software is mostly embedded within hardware sales today, enterprise AI software in the data center can potentially be licensed similarly to how VMware licenses its system software," Lipacis wrote. He noted that Kress said that it was possible for the company to break out software sales as a revenue line item once it becomes a meaningful portion of the business. Lipacis also relayed Nvidia's expectation that its Arm acquisition will close in the early part of 2022. "Nvidia plans to help ARM build its model beyond just mobile by bringing ARM to the data center, automotive and IoT [Internet of Things] markets," he wrote. "These progressions for ARM are viewed as not something ARM can do as effectively as a stand-alone company." Nvidia shares have gained 37% over the past three months as the S&P 500 has risen 6%.

On average, analysts polled by S&P Global Platts forecast an increase of 78 billion cubic feet in natural-gas stocks. Total stocks now stand at 2.427 trillion cubic feet, down 453 billion cubic feet from a year ago and 126 billion cubic feet below the five-year average, the government said. Following the data, July natural gas was down 4.5 cents, or 1.4%, at .21 per million British thermal units. It traded at .23 shortly before the data.

Ford shares jump 2.4% premarket after car maker says Q2 EBIT ahead of expectations amid strong demand for new vehicles #FinanceUSA #StockMarketNEWS
Ford Motor Co. shares jumped 2.4% in premarket trade Thursday, after the car maker said it expects EBIT, or earnings before interest and taxes, to be better than it expected in the second quarter and "significantly" higher than a year ago. In a statement published ahead of an investor conference, Ford said customer reservations for four new vehicles is strong; namely the full-size Bronco SUV, battery-electric F-150 Lightning pickup, Maverick compact truck and all-electric E-Transit commercial van. Chief Executive Jim Farley will tell investors that Ford is seeing improvement in its automotive business since it offered full-year guidance on April 28, despite continued challenges and uncertainty relating to supplies of semiconductors. "The improvement in automotive is being driven by lower-than-anticipated costs and favorable market factors," Farley said in a statement. "Additionally, higher vehicle auction values are benefitting Ford Credit." Net profit for the quarter, however, is expected to be "substantially lower" than a year ago, when it was boosted by a .5 billion gain on the company's investment in Argo AI. Ford is slated to report second-quarter earnings on July 28. Shares have gained 71% in the year to date, while the S&P 500 has gained 12.5%.

The global tally for the coronavirus-borne illness headed above 177 million on Thursday, according to data aggregated by Johns Hopkins University, while deaths climbed above 3.8 million. The U.S. continues to lead the world in total cases at 33.49 million, while deaths total 600,653. The number of fully vaccinated Americans rose to 146.5 million, or 44% of the total population, according to the latest data from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), with the number of U.S. adults receiving at least one dose increasing to 64.7%. There was disappointing news on the CureVac vaccine when the company said it's only 47% effective at preventing COVID, well below the more than 90% efficacy of the vaccines developed by Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE and Moderna Inc. , which also use mRNA technology. CureVac said that its "pivotal" study, conducted in 10 countries and involving about 40,000 people, showed the vaccine candidate's being a poor match against a "fast changing environment" of at least 29 COVID-19 variants, with the original coronavirus strain "almost completely absent." The news sent its stock down sharply premarket.
On a global basis, India is second in total cases at 29.7 million and third by fatalities at 381,903, although those numbers are expected to be undercounted given a shortage of tests. Brazil has the third-highest caseload at 17.6 million, according to JHU data, and is second in deaths at 493,693. Mexico has fourth-highest death toll at 230,624 and 2.5 million cases. The U.K. has 128,190 fatalities and 4.6 million cases, the highest number of deaths in Europe and fifth-highest in the world.

U.S. stocks were headed solidly lower Wednesday afternoon as the market appeared not to take a June policy statement and economic outlook as not supporting further buying in equities (or bonds for that matter). The decline put the Dow Jones Industrial Average on track to close below its 50-day moving average for the first time since March 3, according to Dow Jones Market Data. At a news conference after the Fed's statment was released, Chairman Jerome Powell said he expects that inflation will be short-lived but acknowledged that it has run hotter than the Fed anticipated and could remain persistently hot. The Fed now sees 3% core inflation, as gauged by its preferred measure personal-consumption expenditure index. The Dow was down 300 points, or 0.9%, at 33,998, with the 50-day MA at 34,179.63, according to FactSet. The Dow hasn't fallen below that average since March 3, according to Dow Jones Market Data. Moving averages are used by technical analysts to gauge short-term and long-term momentum in an asset. The S&P 500 index and the Nasdaq Composite Index also were solidly lower.

Dish could become 'best positioned 5G operator to actually fulfill the promise of 5G,' analyst says in upgrade #FinanceUSA #StockMarketNEWS
Shares of Dish Network Corp. are up 2.6% in premarket trading Wednesday after Pivotal Research Group analyst Jeffrey Wlodarczak upgraded the stock to buy from hold and boosted his target price to from . Wlodarczak is upbeat about Dish's wireless opportunity as the company works to build out a 5G network. "Dish is in the process of rolling out what we view as a revolutionary cloud-native/software-driven 5G network with key partner AWS that should allow them/developers/AWS to relatively quickly develop 5G applications/services that have the potential to revolutionize wireless, particularly in enterprise markets," Wlodarczak wrote in a note to clients, referring to Amazon.com Inc.'s AWS cloud-computing platform. He argued that "naysayers" may focus on Dish's potential as a lower-cost fourth wireless carrier in the U.S. but he said that they are overlooking the company's opportunity in enterprise markets. "In our view, post the build out of DISH's first market (Las Vegas) in 2H the potential upside is likely going to become increasingly obvious to investors/telco analysts from DISH leveraging their completely unique architecture and we believe rather than simply be a dumb pipe DISH will likely participate in the revenue upside from its wireless partners," he continued. "The bottom line is that DISH, in our opinion, is the best positioned 5G operator to actually fulfill the promise of 5G which in our view is not even close to being priced in the current valuation." Shares have gained 24% so far this year as the S&P 500 has risen 13%.
