Rationalize THIS
Yesterday evening’s Nvidia earnings slapped on trillions of dollars of recovered market value to stocks around the world. The chart of the /ES below shows the beneficial effect of the NVDA news (green arrow). This was augmented, but only slightly, by the jobs report which showed the unemployment rate had increased to 4.4% (more realistic figure: 24%) and that monthly earnings had increased less than expected (0.2% instead of 0.3%). Thus, as shown by the red arrow, the /ES got up to about a triple-digit overnight increase, with the /NQ up almost 500 points. Zowie!
