Public Holidays

The USA, Hong Kong & Singapore have no public holidays in the coming week.

America, Hong Kong and Singapore celebrate Good Friday on 18 Apr 2025. I wish you all a great weekend as Christians celebrate the love, sacrifice, and victory of Jesus.

Economic Calendar (14Apr25)

Notable Highlights

  • China's GDP (Q1) is expected at 5.2% YoY (vs. 5.4% prior). This can be a good indicator of both Chinese production and global consumption.

  • The Core Retail Sales (Mar) are forecasted at 0.4% MoM (vs. 0.3%), and Retail Sales at 1.4% MoM (vs. 0.2%).

  • The Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index (Apr) is forecasted at 3.1 (vs. 12.5). From investing dot com

     

    A level above zero on the index indicates improving conditions; below indicates worsening conditions. The data is compiled from a survey of about 250 manufacturers in the Philadelphia Federal Reserve district.

  • Initial jobless claims will be announced. This weekly report tracks the number of new unemployment claims, serving as a leading indicator of labor market health. The Federal Reserve uses this as one of the key macro data references as it balances inflation and employment in the economy.

  • Crude Oil Inventories can be seen as forward indicators of market demand and consumption. This event tracks the weekly change in U.S. crude oil inventories, an indicator of oil supply and demand, which can impact oil prices and energy markets. If the trend of excess inventories continues, demand erosion can lead to reduced production & weakened consumer spending.

Market Plunge Across the Board: Buying Opportunity or Red Flag?
The Nasdaq fell more than 1.2%, erasing all gains for the year. The S&P 500 dropped 0.5%, marking its third consecutive day of declines. This week, the market is focused on Nvidia's earnings report and the PCE inflation data. Microsoft has cut two data centers in Wisconsin Kenosha and Georgia Atlanta, raising concerns on Wall Street about AI capital expenditures. With US stocks falling across the board, will you remain bullish? Is it a good time to add to positions, or should you wait for a clearer direction?
