For the weekend

Strategy remains: Patience, discipline and an eye for opportunities.

📈🌾

The AEX index starts the day with an indication of +0.3%, while international markets also turn green. Wall Street largely managed to recover from Friday's sell-off, and Asian stock markets follow with Korea and Taiwan as outliers. U.S. 10-year interest rates rise slightly to 4.21%, while German rates fall to 2.62%. The euro/dollar exchange rate is quoted at 1.1550. The Damrak is relatively quiet, with only B&S presenting figures. Internationally, however, there is plenty of activity: Palantir surprises with strong quarterly results, while Hims & Hers falls sharply. Figma debuts with a 27.4% drop. The US puts pressure on India and China because of Russian oil imports, further raising trade tensions. Investors look forward to figures from AMD, Snap, Rivian and Super Micro Computer. Also on the agenda are the purchasing managers' indices of the service sectors in Germany and the US. In short: plenty of excitement and thrills on the trading floor.
