🇺🇸 US Pre-Market: Moderately Positive 📈

Ahead of the Fed's interest rate decision, the US stock market is showing a moderately positive trend in pre-market trading.

In the Information Technology sector, NVIDIA (NVDA) is up 0.75%, while Micron Technology (MU) is up 0.80%.

In the Financials sector, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) is down 0.22%, while Bank of America (BAC) is up 0.13%.

In the Consumer Discretionary sector, Amazon (AMZN) is up 0.31%, while in the Consumer Staples sector, Walmart (WMT) is up 0.14%.

The predominance of gains in the most liquid technology and retail shares is creating a risk-on environment within the US.

Demand for the dollar as a safe-haven asset is limited: the dollar index may remain in a neutral range without significant upward momentum, while the performance of EURUSD and other major crosses will depend more on the differential in Fed rate expectations and external news than on domestic equity market dynamics.

The crypto market remains unfazed by interest rates

The crypto market has risen by 1.2% over the past 24 hours. The Fed’s key rate hike did not trigger a significant reaction, despite a brief spike in volatility; traders subsequently focused on buying on dips. At the same time, it is worth noting the continued growth of certain altcoins. The rapid rise driven by specific ideas is an important sign of a fundamental shift in sentiment. The top performers over the past 24 hours were NEAR Protocol (+18%), Zcash (+17.5%) and Dash (+15%). The underperformers were Filecoin (-1%), Hedera (-0.1%) and Tron (+0.1%), which clearly illustrates the market’s bullish shift over the last day.

The cryptocurrency sentiment index, by contrast, points to caution, having fallen to 50 from 51 the previous day. This is hardly a cause for alarm, as the index has been above 50 for around four weeks, following nearly a year spent in the lower half of the range (with brief exceptions).

🇺🇸 US Pre-Market: Mostly Positive 📈

Positive trends are prevailing in the US stock market pre-market.

In the Information Technology sector, NVIDIA (NVDA) is up 2.10%, Broadcom (AVGO) is up 2.44%, while Microsoft (MSFT) is up 1.22%.

In the Communication Services sector, Alphabet (GOOGL) is up 1.54%.

In the Consumer Discretionary sector, Amazon (AMZN) is up 2.09%, while in the Consumer Staples sector, Walmart (WMT) is up 0.46%.

Market sentiment is distinctly risk-on: increased demand for major technology and retail stocks is limiting interest in safe-haven dollar assets; consequently, the short-term dollar trend appears subdued and depends largely on Fed expectations rather than domestic demand for safe-haven assets.
