European & American Stock Markets Rose Sharply, H.K. Large Tech Stocks Collectively Strong


U.S. Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

U.S. stocks closed sharply higher on Wednesday, 3rd August 2022, with strong earnings results from PayPal and CVS Health Corp boosting market sentiment and helping the Nasdaq rise to its highest since early May.

Data showed that the U.S. service sector activity unexpectedly rebounded in July, with strong growth in orders, while supply bottlenecks and price pressures eased. This supports the view that the economy is not in recession, despite a decline in output in the first half of the year. 

In a largely upbeat earnings season, strong results from a new batch of companies such as PayPal and CVS Health Corp boosted market popularity.

The stronger-than-expected earnings reports helped U.S. stocks rebound from declines triggered by concerns about inflation at multi-decade highs, interest rate hikes, and a shrinking economy.

Another factor behind Wednesday’s stock market rally is that investors are increasingly confident that the Federal Reserve has made most of the rate hikes needed to keep inflation down.

Meanwhile, Richmond Fed President Balkin said Wednesday that the Fed is committed to controlling inflation and returning it to the Fed’s 2 percent target, the latest policymaker to express anti-inflation resolve.

Another data released on Wednesday showed that U.S. factory orders grew solidly in June, and the final value of business equipment spending was revised upward, indicating that the manufacturing sector still has potential strength despite rising interest rates.
