It might have been CCJ lowering their production forecasts and traders are now pricing in higher prices on the back of the reduced supply.

I know interest rates are high now and staying high for quite a while, but what are the expectations for the S&P500 and other indices when the rates start coming down? There seems to be a big pop whenever there’s speculation the rates “won’t be held high for as long as expected” and big drops, like today, when speculation that t”rates may be held high for longer than thought”.

For companies near ATH (ie AAPL, etc) are they expected to shoot way up because they’re so high now? Or is the expectation more that they’ll stay near the same, but small caps will shoot up? Or just steady growth past ATH for all the indices?

I’m not expecting insane growth, but I’m just curious what happens in these cases because there seems to be so much movement when even a whisper about rates changing one way or the other.

Uranium ore for customers of US fuel is shipped to the fuel processing plant months or years in advance (and stored in separate piles) specifically to hedge against this sort of situation

Not sure how France handles it but probably the same I'd guess

You should assume future rates are already priced in, to the extent the market is able to estimate what they will be (via treasury prices, futures etc)

I'd assume that they'd be even more hedged given how much more reliant they are on nuclear power, although it wouldn't be the first time a European country was massively short sighted in it's energy generation if it's not secured.

“We think there is an agreement imminent that there’ll be general agreement on,” the Ohio Democrat told reporters Wednesday. “We know that some members of the committee are going to vote no regardless, but we think there’ll be something good that gets a good majority.”

GME is such a fun zombie company to watch. They're burning like $100m a year but they have a billion in the bank so they probably won't go bankrupt any time soon, but they also just don't have a profitable business model and don't seem to care to pivot.

Just a slow motion train wreck for everyone involved, except the executives pulling fat comp I guess.

It will probably be a tug of war between "interest rates are falling, the economy is slowing", and "interest rates are falling, this will be great for Number"

It was this. They lowered their production forecast. But they've already sold a bunch of the production so they're going to be (bigger) buyers on the open market to fulfill contracts they've already signed.

Over labor day it was looking like it was going to have a bigger effect based on the Australian miners moving up. When Canada/USA markets opened Tuesday some of the jump kind of faded. I don't know if it was profit taking or people thinking it wasn't as big of a deal as Australian markets thought at first. Either way uranium prices have been steadily climbing and aren't likely to stop until more mining supply comes online.

Kind of interesting, I had a single covered call assigned early against me today. It was in the money, but not by a lot so a little surprising they would pay extra for it when the option still had some time value left. I can't say for certain why the person holding the option did it, but amusingly today is the dividend pay date for the stock, I think the person on the other end of the trade may have mistook dividend pay-date for dividend ex-date.

I'm not sure what to make of this other than it seems to be a consequence of citi's return on equity being so bad lately, coupled with the bank being too big for people to buy it out in an acquisition. anyone have thoughts?

fintwit in general thinks citi is either gonna drop 50% or go up 50% in the next couple years. very few people saying 'oh yeah fairly valued here'

Citi is a boring value stock when the entire market is in a multiyear tech and growth mania. Good value, practically zero earnings growth, strong dividend. I guess the divergence is whether you think there will be future wave of consumer debt going bad on their books.

Citi is a box of snakes. Right now there are people making bad trades and hiding time bomb deals. They've had their fingers in every financial disaster for years. IMO, Wells Fargo (WFC) might be the better choice in a ten year lifespan.

I rode the last wave up for a nice little profit. I was hoping it would again drop into the 1.20’s but I don’t think it ever did in the last few weeks. Congrats on the big jump today!

Hello thread, please feed me ideas for quant experiments.

This is my most recent one that somebody requested: "Can we use yesterday's crude oil candlestick as an indicator for today's oil sector performance?"

Here are the correlations of the N-1 day's candlestick for crude oil prices versus the N day's candlestick's oil industry ETF prices, over the past 60 days:



To read the thing above, the only thing worth looking at is the column on the farthest right (or the bottom-most row). Basically, the conclusion is that, no, you can't use yesterday's crude oil price movement to try and predict today's overall sector price movement.

Same is true for natural gas prices (ignore the text blurb at the top of this next image):

Etrade did get a transaction doubled up in my gains/losses statement last month. Although the actual transaction history and trade confirmations were correct.

They said everything was correct on "the back end", and it was a "known issue" on this account that they had already been working on or something, heh. I asked if there are any other known issues on my accounts? "uhhhh, there was some stuff that has been corrected, but nothing else outstanding now". So I guess I'm gonna have to sit down and go through all of these reports on all these accounts.

Check your statements!
