A slow-going Senate debate over a broad $550 billion infrastructure package spilled into Sunday and could go on for days yet, with lawmakers unable to agree on which final changes to consider.

Amendments still on the table include proposals for new cryptocurrency rules and flexibility for states and localities that choose to use some unspent pandemic relief funds for roads and bridges.

Senator Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana Republican who helped negotiate the bipartisan proposal, said he expects the package of money for roads, water systems and broadband expansion will eventually pass, but suggested that may be two days away unless all 100 senators can agree to speed things up.

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer opened the Sunday session saying Democrats were ready to consider amendments to the legislation, which is a cornerstone of President Joe Biden’s agenda. “That will require the cooperation of our Republican colleagues,” he said. “In any case, we’ll keep proceeding until we get this bill done.”

Main Pairs Movement:

The dollar soared at the end of the week, closing green against most major rivals, right after an upbeat US Nonfarm Payroll report. The US added 943K new jobs in July, while the unemployment rate contracted to 5.4%, both largely beating the market’s expectations. The better-than-expected labor market results revived speculation that the Fed will have to tighten its monetary policy sooner than anticipated.

The eruo pair trades around 1.1760, and Cable settles at 1.3870. Commodity-linked currencies lost ground against their American peer. Loonie surged near 0.5% to the 1.25500 level, Ausssie plummeted to 0.7350, approaching its 2021 low, and NZD/USD hovers around 0.7000, struggling to defend the major support level.

Gold price collapsed, with the yellow metal losing roughly $35, closing the week at $1763 a troy ounce. Crude oil prices were also under selling pressure, with WTI ending the day at $68.00 a barrel, and Brent at $70.30. The yield on 10-year US Treasury note surged to 1.3000, amid the overall market optimism.

Daily Market Analysis

Market Focus

U.S. equities pared back gains on Monday after Treasury yields extended a decline following softer-than-expected U.S. manufacturing growth amid lingering supply constraints. The S&P 500, Dow Jones and Nasdaq all fell from earlier highs as investors considered the impact of the 10-year Treasury yield hitting as low as 1.15% on Monday, putting concerns about growth on display. At the end of the day, Dow Jones dropped 0.28%, while Nasdaq closed green with a little comeback.

A surge in Covid-19 cases across the U.S. brought on by the fast-spreading delta variant is increasing pressure on U.S. drug regulators to fully approve Pfizer Inc.’s vaccine, the first one to apply for full licensure in the U.S.

Full approval could help the Biden administration ramp back up its immunization drive and reassure vaccine holdouts that the shots are safe. It could also make it easier for more schools and workplaces to put immunization mandates in place.

Meanwhile, breakthrough cases that penetrate the shot’s defenses are being monitored by health officials. While the Pfizer-BioNTech SE mRNA-based vaccine, cleared in the U.S. via an emergency-use authorization late last year, remains highly effective at preventing severe disease, the question of whether booster shots will be needed looms as fall approaches.

Main Pairs Movement:

Market players were optimistic at the beginning of the day, with dollar easing against its major rivals. The sentiment turned sour during American trading hours, as the latest official ISM index contracted from 60.6 to 59.5, a sign of slowing economic progress.

The euro pair hovers around 1.1870, while cable stands below 1.3900. The performances of commodity-linked currencies were mixed. The AUD rose, the NZD fell, and the CAD lost demand amid plunging oil prices.

With renewed demand for safety, the US treasury yields plummeted to their 2-week low, and the safe haven JPY surged against the greenback. Gold jumped to the intraday high amid the dismal market mood, but somehow dropped back to familiar levels at the end of the day. Crude oils plunged, with WTI retreated to $71.50 a barrel, and Brent traded at $73.20, 2.60% off than the previous day.

In general, major pairs held within familiar levels as investors await first-tier data scheduled for later in the week. In the US, employment is taking the center stage with the Nonfarm Payroll report.

Daily Market Analysis

Market Focus

US equities rose toward all-time highs as the latest read on the economy eased concerns about inflation and the Federal Reserve scaling back its ultra-accommodative policies. Amid risk-off sentiments, all of the main American stock indexes advanced, with S&P 500 (+18.51) and Dow Jones (+153.60, or 0.44%) touching records. Ford Motor Co. rallied after a surprise profit. Facebook Inc. weighed on Nasdaq (+15.68, or 0.11%) after the social-media company gave a cautious outlook. And Amazon.com Inc. fell in extended trading after its sales forecast fell short, pulling futures in the Nasdaq lower.

It was supposed to be a triumph for today’s memeified markets — a validation for all those amateurs who took on the Wall Street pros. The public debut for Robinhood Markets Inc. turned out to be an embarrassment for the company that’s become synonymous with the rise of individual investors. Robinhood traders, it turned out, had no time for Robinhood.

In fact, some of the very people who flocked to the firm’s free-trading app to buy meme stocks like GameStop Corp. and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. this year appeared to take glee Thursday as the company’s share price slid. Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum, a hotbed of retail traders, lit up. One top post: “Is it me or does anyone else get pleasure from watching Robinhood’s stock burn to the ground?”

Almost nothing seemed to go right for Robinhood, whose decision to briefly freeze trading at the height of the meme-stock frenzy in January drew scorn from its own customers. The stock was priced late Wednesday at the low end of its expected range. Then investors saw red instead of green: shares almost immediately dropped after trading opened, tumbling as much as 12%. Robinhood eventually pared the worst of the decline, falling 8.4% to close at $34.82.

  

Main Pairs Movement:

Dollar slid yet another day and reached freshly lows against most major rivals, as US data missed the consensus estimates. 21Q2 GDP showed the economy grew at an annualized pace of 6.5%, better than the previous 6.4%, although missing the 8.6% expected. Also, Initial Jobless Claims for the week ended July 23 printed at 400K, worse than anticipated.

The euro pair settles around 1.1890 while Cable approaches the 1.4000 figure. The commodity-linked currencies were strong on Thursday, with Loonie traded lower at 1.2440, Aussie hiked on the 0.7400 level, and Kiwi flirted with the 0.7000 milestone. The Japanese yen appreciated on the back of a better market’s mood, with USD/JPY trading around 109.40.

US government bond yields ticked higher, closing the day at 1.2710. Gold jumped to $1,832.62 a troy ounce, its highest in two weeks, while crude oil prices also reached fresh highs, with WTI ending the day at $73.40 a barrel, Brent at $75.80.

Cryptocurrencies are still in their upward trend driven by Tesla’s June quarter earnings, which showed that it holds $1.3 billion worth of Bitcoin. BTC then keep soaring after speculation that Amazon may soon start accepting payments in Bitcoin, Ether and other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin and Ethereum gained nearly 40% against US dollar in two weeks, showed by the data from Binance.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq (-1.21%, -180.14) posted its biggest drop in more than two months as all three of the major American equity indexes fell from all-time highs. The Hang Seng Index (-4.22%, −1,105.89) sank the most since May 2020 as speculation swirled that U.S. funds are offloading China and Hong Kong assets. Amid the dismal sentiments, Dow Jones slightly dropped 0.24%, or 85.79.

As Apple’s third-quarter results released and the conference call just ended, we offer you 5 key takeaways from Bloomberg Top Live Blogs:

1.Apple shattered revenue expectations, topping $81 billion for an all-time Q3 and growing 36% year-over-year. The iPhone generated nearly $40 billion, while Services topped $17 billion to an all-time record.
2.Apple said that while Q4 (current quarter) sales will grow strong double digits, the growth rate will slow from Q3. Apple cited Services revenue slowing as one of the main reasons for the slowed overall growth. Services grew 33% in Q3, which won’t happen in Q4, Apple said.
3.Apple also said that the iPhone and iPad are seeing supply constraints in the current quarter, and Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the company is paying too much for freight. He added Apple is taking on the supply chain issues on quarter at a time.
4.Asked about the iPhone, Cook said Apple feels “really good” about the future of the product and that the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max saw a particularly strong response in China. Apple said that it also saw strong growth in India, Latin America, and Vietnam.
5.Cook explained that Apple is experiencing shortages, like other companies, of so-called legacy-node semiconductors. That means less high-tech chips like power and data converters. He said it’s not so much on ‘leading edge’ which would imply they’re getting enough of the M1 and other processor that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. makes for them.
