Weekly Five Key Areas: Earnings, Macro, Singapore Stocks, Options, Futures
Covering five major market segments this week to help you stay ahead of market trends and plan your trades effectively!
U.S. stocks closed mixed as earnings season began. Small-cap and value stocks extended their year-to-date lead, with the Russell 2000 and S&P MidCap 400 hitting record highs. Big bank earnings were mixed, while TSMC’s strong results lifted AI-related sentiment. Political and trade headlines also added volatility.
Inflation data showed easing pressure. Core CPI rose just 0.2% in December and 2.6% year over year, the slowest pace since 2021. Producer prices picked up slightly due to energy costs. Retail sales beat expectations, though growth in GDP-linked control group sales slowed.
Housing data beat forecasts as mortgage rates declined. New and existing home sales both surprised to the upside. Treasury yields were mixed, while municipal and corporate bonds outperformed on strong demand. Credit spreads tightened and high-yield activity remained solid.
The week ahead: January 19-23

What stands out to me is the potential to establish a Western price structure for minerals. China-driven oversupply previously crushed lithium prices and forced Albemarle to pause U.S. expansion plans in 2024. A government-backed buyer could help stabilize pricing and support long-term investment confidence.
From my perspective, this is not a short-term catalyst but a meaningful long-term positive for ALB. Policy-backed demand and national security alignment strengthen the investment thesis and could gradually shift Albemarle from a price taker to a strategic supplier in the global lithium market.
