It’s pre-market like the weather, at and around zero, but it feels colder.
And the interest will even make you shiver. So more. The AEX indication is -0.1% after a red session on Wall Street and really all prices are now moving with a zero before the decimal point. Except for individual shares that is, because here and there some are flying out of control.
- European and American futures open or are just below freezing
- In Asia, almost all indices also turn red, even with a zero before the decimal point. There are a few well-known stocks that are fluttering in Hong Kong:
Alibaba -4.7%
Baidu -2,3%
Tencent -2,3%
TSMC -0,6%
Samsung +0,3% - The volatility (CBOE VIX index) is -0.6% at 20.6
- The dollar is up 0.3% to 1.0639 after yesterday’s mega euro rally
- Gold, oil and crypto are also all a few tenths lower
The interest rates then… oh no and that already. Seen in this way, the AEX indication is still very strong. New tops.
And of course this is the story. Yes, this was in it after all the feeling, experience and those lousy other European numbers this week. Was 7.6% over January, our inflation is rising again. Our purchasing management index or the economy was also disappointing yesterday. Isn’t that called stagflation? But with an overstretched labor market.
In February 2023, the #inflation at the quick estimate 8.0 percent. This quick estimate is calculated on the basis of still incomplete source data. The regular consumer price index (CPI) figures for February will be published on March 14. More on: https://t.co/F6x84CV5yQ pic.twitter.com/IMoOMxuiAF

Then this. No budget model and no cyber truck, -1.4% during the day and after close -5.6%: a little more was expected from Tesla’s investor day yesterday. Here ABM and here quotes from Bloomberg:
Elon Musk said the next phase of Tesla’s growth will be built around a global sustainable energy future that can serve a larger world population and be achieved without great economic sacrifice.
Outlining his third “Master Plan” for the company during an investor day presentation, he described a vision for a global switch to electric vehicles, driven by $10 trillion in spending to develop sustainable energy worldwide.

Rivian went -18.3% yesterday on numbers, Lucid -5.6%, Nio -6.0%, Xpeng -0.7% and Nikola -2.7%. And all graphs go from top left to bottom right. As so often – and this is my own wisdom – the better the story, the less the cash flow and the worse the investment.

Have a look, Rivian:
Nio:
Lucid. There may be one that will eventually make it and if an Amazon (that went from 2000 to 2002 also -98%) rises from the ashes, but guess and guess.
