Apple – AAPL
Oppenheimer Adjusts Price Target on Apple to $250 From $200
Apple AAPL has an average rating of outperform and price targets ranging from $125 to $275, according to analysts polled by Capital IQ.
Nikkei futures are still bid which is another indication traders/banks will keep buying stocks post-PCE, just not as aggressively as this quarter and with some partial liquidations of holdings. Casual portfolio adjustments to hedge along the way is likely to be the catchy tone.
If I were a floor trader I would be keeping the portfolio intact with no dramatic adjustments, status quo with a slighter lean toward Dollar sell side through option spreads. See no reason to be overly aggressive in switching the overall Dollar buy side but would definitely be fitting in a few new short out of the money and holding overall until decay sets in. To this point it would take a bit to push a good manager to make wholesale changes I would think.
A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan
If TV debates decided elections, world markets seem remarkably calm about the prospect of a Donald Trump return to the White House as the first half of the trading year ends on Friday.
It may be too early to stake bets on November’s U.S. election outcome just yet, and there are many pressing issues on the table before then – not least a critical update on Friday on the PCE inflation gauge favored by the Federal Reserve and the first round of the French assembly election at the weekend.
1.07 Pattern Extended to 6 days in a row, rewarding the range traders and penalizing the breakout players.
While trend is still down, the current consolidation around 1.07 suggests there will be a diredtional move once the pattern is broken (either 1.07 becomes support or resistance).
Watching the debate and initial market reaction suggests not so much that Trump is winning but that Biden may be blowing his chance…. Still some time to go
