]]> Volatile US stocks https://www.miltonpj.net/2025/03/08/us-stocks-volatile-with-uncertainty/ Sat, 08 Mar 2025 13:32:22 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=11721 Volatility led by the US has escalated quite dramatically. It’s impacted market values – especially some US tech cos and Nasdaq has drifted 10% now but the concerns over tariffs and the Ukraine situation and the US reaction to it, let alone clumsy politics and diplomacy, have not helped. Suddenly Nvidia and Tesla aren’t looking […]

We trust this namesake won’t be doing the same with markets! Helen was not so impressed it followed right after Hurricane Helene as well. This is a once-in-a-lifetime storm, we were told and as ever, the risk to life the biggest fear but […]

]]> The simmering stock market pot subsides https://www.miltonpj.net/2024/08/16/simmering-stock-markets-fail-to-boil-over/ Fri, 16 Aug 2024 15:46:45 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=11325 I am pleased to report that the rumbles in markets proved short-lived. However, having ‘biggest losses since 1987’ for Japan and then clawing the way back again (well, still 13% off its peak) is not helpful and a potential portent for the over-priced sections of the Globe. Volatility is your friend when it is upwards […]

]]> This too shall pass – market volatility is no need to panic https://www.miltonpj.net/2024/08/05/markets-volatile-but-no-need-to-panic/ Mon, 05 Aug 2024 15:59:19 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=11320 For no ‘real’ reason, markets have decided it’s time for the coin to flip from ‘all news is positive’ to ‘all news is negative’ and within a matter of days sentiment has changed dramatically. I suppose we should have been expecting it, after such a positive run and after all we have said about overblown […]

You may think that I am unable to reform my approach, though I hope that the style of writing does not treat you as green around […]

]]> UK rise and Nvidia flying dangerously? https://www.miltonpj.net/2024/06/28/uk-market-push-nvidia-rise-bubble-fears/ Fri, 28 Jun 2024 13:11:37 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=11276 So after a useful catch-up, the UK market has pushed past France to regain top spot in European markets in capitalisation terms. That is also partly following the poorly-received election announcement by M. Macron. However, it should never have lost its status… Inflation comes back-in to descend to the Prime Minister’s target of 2% (well […]

]]> A dubious watershed? https://www.miltonpj.net/2024/03/01/big-seven-now-dominate-us-stock-market/ Fri, 01 Mar 2024 13:32:48 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=11082 So they have done it… the big seven US stocks have accounted for 75% of the gains of the whole US market this year, powered higher by Nvidia’s stunning results last Wednesday week. The biggest 10% count for 75% of the value of the whole market, the highest since the 1930s. That’s higher that the […]

There was a very interesting article by Peter Atwater, an adjunct lecturer in economics at the College of William and Mary, Virginia, in the […]

That said, who noticed that up till then, the global markets had retracted by 5% ($3trillion) in the month (the calculated losses from the S&P500, China’s CSI300 and Europe’s Stoxx600). This was affected by China and its banks’ distress […]
