🔎 Deep Dive: Market Divergence Post-FOMC
The initial excitement after the Fed's dovish comments has waned, revealing a highly fragmented market. While potential rate stability provides underlying support, company earnings and sector rotation are the main performance drivers today. Tech shows a clear split: leaders like $NVDA (-0,98%) and $TSM (-2,26%) power ahead, while others including $META (+0,41%) , $BABA (-1,76%) , and speculative names like $RGT face significant selling. European banks, particularly Italian ones ($UCG (+2,38%)
$ISP (+1,07%)
$BPE (+1,91%) ) along with $BBVA (+1,62%) , display remarkable strength, contrasting sharply with the caution seen in US payments ($AXP (+0,55%) , $V (+5,58%) ). Gold ($GLD (+0,74%) ) is pausing, suggesting investors are neither fully embracing risk nor rushing to safety, but rather becoming highly selective.
