Word of the Day: Relieved
Malcolm Ethridge of CIC Wealth warns that if the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates by more than 25 basis points, it could send a negative signal to the market. Investors have been closely watching every move by the Fed, and anything more than a slight decrease could cause uncertainty in the markets.
Behind the Broadcom Decline
Broadcom’s recent decline after earnings is attributed to a shift in sentiment and psychology among tech and semiconductor investors. Jordan Klein of Mizuho suggests that investors are now looking for new opportunities in the AI trade and are considering selling off some winners to diversify into other areas. While Klein sees pressure on the semiconductor sector in the short term, he believes long-term investors may find value in buying the dip on Broadcom.
Worldwide Exchange Pick: Zscaler
Despite weak forward guidance, cloud security play Zscaler (ZS) is considered a good buy by Malcolm Ethridge. He believes that Zscaler could benefit from companies moving away from Crowdstrike, especially after a global IT outage caused by a Crowdstrike update on July 19th. This event could lead to companies changing cybersecurity vendors or diversifying their vendors, creating an opportunity for Zscaler to capitalize on.
Chart of the Day: Short Interest Rising
S3 Partners has reported an ‘unusual’ rise in short interest against the SPDR S&P 500 ETF. Typically, investors increase short positions when the market is rising and decrease them when the market is falling. This data indicates a potential shift in market sentiment and could signal increased volatility in the near future.
