U.S. Stocks 

Fundamental Analysis: 

U.S. stocks were closed for a day on 16th January 2023 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Stocks rallied in the first two weeks of the year on optimism that cooling inflation will prompt the Federal Reserve to ease its most aggressive interest rate hike in decades.

The S&P 500 rose 2.7% for the week after government data showed consumer prices rose in December at the lowest rate in more than a year.

Communications services and non-essential consumer goods stocks were among the best performers in the S&P 500, with companies such as Warner Bros.

Discovery, Inc., United Airlines Holdings Inc. and Carnival Corp. were up more than 20%.

Meanwhile, investors’ growing appetite for risk amid hopes that the Federal Reserve will be less aggressive has boosted some of 2022’s worst performers, such as Amazon, which is up 17% in the first nine trading days of the year.

However, not all tech stocks are on board. Apple and Microsoft still trail the S&P 500.
