Uber drops 7% post-earnings—why does Bill Baruch see this as a buying opportunity?

Mixed Markets Finish Strong: E-mini S&P & NQ Look for Support Amid Risk-On Sentiment

E-mini S&P (March) / E-mini NQ (March)

S&P, yesterday’s close: Settled at 6086.50, up 23.50

NQ, yesterday’s close: Settled at 21,763.00, up 92.75

Yesterday was mixed but finished strongly. There were some clear-cut winners and losers. Leading the day higher were names like NVDA, AVGO, and AMGN. The two chipmakers did not even report earnings but showed strength after GOOG further confirmed the AI arms race by raising 2025 capex expectations from $58 billion to $75 billion. GOOG finished -6.94% after also posting slower cloud revenues. AMD, UBER, TSLA, AMZN, and DIS weighed on the market, but we hold high hopes for AMZN’s earnings report after the bell today.

Initial Jobless Claims came in a touch higher than expected at 219k versus 214k. Nonfarm Productivity for Q4 was lower than expected at +1.2% versus +1.5%, but Unit Labor Costs also missed at +3.0% versus +3.4% and were revised significantly lower for Q3 at +0.5% versus +0.8%. All in all, this should help keep some of the overnight rally in the U.S. Dollar contained while lifting Treasury futures; stoking risk-on. Traders also want to keep an ear to the ground for Fed speak; we find the most important coming from Fed Governor Waller at 1:30 pm CT. He has been more dovish lately and may be aligning himself with the new administration.

E-mini S&P and E-mini NQ futures have backed off their best levels from the overnight, and while the data may have encouraged risk-on, a consolidation from the two-day choppy rally could be in store as we approach the area of reversal from Friday and ahead of tomorrow’s Nonfarm Payroll report. Still, we remain cautiously Bullish in the Bias highlighted below and certainly would not step in front of this train; we do not have major three-star or rare major four-star resistance close to the current price action, as shown in our levels below. With a short-term trading mindset, we believe a pullback to major three-star support in the E-mini S&P at..

Performance Disclaimer

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program.

One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points that can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program that cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

Seasonal Disclaimer

This message and its content is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and should not be shared with additional parties. Seasonal tendencies are a composite of some of the most consistent commodity futures seasonals that have occurred in the past several years. There are usually underlying, fundamental circumstances that occur annually that tend to cause the futures markets to react in similar directional manner during a certain calendar year even if a seasonal tendency occurs in the futures, it may not result in a profitable transaction as fees and the timing of the entry and liquidation may impact on the results. No representation is being made that any account has in the past, or will in the futures, achieve profits using these recommendations. No representation is being made that price patterns will recur in the future.
