>>> What to look at today - 2(th of May 2023

US equity futures rallied on a sharp rise in sales forecasts from chipmaker Nvidia Corp., which fueled gains for Asian tech shares without lifting broader stocks benchmarks in the region.  The Japanese market fluctuated while equities fell in South Korea, Australia and China. Declines for Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index placed it on course for a third day of losses greater than 1% as global investors remained downbeat on Chinese assets. Taiwanese stocks rose, bucking the trend in Asia as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. — which supplies Nvidia — climbed almost 3%. South Korean tech bellwethers Samsung Electronics Co. and SK Hynix Inc. advanced and in Tokyo equipment supplier Advantest Corp. surged 20% to an all-time high.  The broader weakness in Asia reflected cross winds as traders contend with the risk of the US defaulting on its debt, the chances of another rate hike by the Federal Reserve, central bank meetings in Seoul and Jakarta, and signs of softness in the Chinese economy. Gold fluctuated and the yen edged lower after both haven assets spiked higher when Fitch placed US ratings on watch negative. The yen was hovering just below 140 per dollar and at its weakest since November.  Nasdaq 100 futures rallied 1.4%, holding most of their early gains, even after the Fitch news. The rally followed a 0.5% drop in the underlying index Wednesday amid concerns over the debt-ceiling impasse and uncertainty over the Fed’s next policy decision. Contracts for the S&P 500 jumped 0.4%. Nvidia shares rose by around 25% in after-hours trading following the chipmaker’s report that booming demand for artificial intelligence processors would fuel revenue growth. The action indicated a gain of around $200 billion to its market value. US After Hours NVDA +26.8% surges on earnings and especially its huge guidance, which is causing many semi and semi equipment names to rise, AMD +8.9%, TSM +7.9%; NTNX +15.9%, ELF +11.6% also higher on earnings; APPS -26.6%, AEO -17.3%, SNOW -11.2% lower on earnings.
