Risk Assets Ahead of Rally: What to Buy?
2022-08-12 • Updated
US100 broke through the strong resistance trendline, following July's inflation numbers on Wednesday, which were less than analysts expected. The expectations of an upcoming inflation decrease and the fact that, despite the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate increases, companies remain profitable, and the jobs market is still in good shape helped to improve investors' sentiment.
Moreover, on Thursday, the Producer Price Index (PPI) also confirmed possible cooling of inflation, as numbers underperformed the forecasts.
The NASDAQ 100 (US100) is a capitalization-weighted index, which includes companies from major industry groups, such as computer hardware/software, retail/wholesale trade, biotechnology, and telecommunications.
Usually, investors treat these companies as risky investments as many have low revenue relative to debt. Therefore, this index is the main indicator of the traders' and investors' risk sentiment.
