Shares of #FedEx $FDX head for a higher open after the #DeliveryServices giant posted strong earnings and guidance, showing resilience to higher #Oil prices and tariff uncertainty. FedEx raised its revenue and profit projection for full FY26 on the back of a fuel surcharge that protects margins and cost reductions. Still, the global economic fallout from the Middle East conflict could create headwinds. #MarketInsights

Shares of #Micron $MU head for a lower open as plans for higher spending to increase capacity and meet insatiable #AI demand were met with skepticism against a tough macroeconomic environment. Still, this was another explosive quarter with revenues nearly tripling and gross margins widening to 74.4%. The firm expects to maintain strong momentum in the current quarter as the #MemoryChips crunch drives pricing power and demand. #MarketInsights

$SPX heads for a positive open as #Oil prices slip, but markets could remain cautious ahead of #Micron $MU earnings and the #USFed rate decision that can determine Wall Street's trajectory. Energy disruptions spark inflationary fears that can lead the Fed to a hawkish tone that and weigh on the #SPX500. Still, growth risks and a weakening labour market can keep the door open to more easing. Another strong quarter by Micron amid a memory chips crunch can renew #AI optimism and support SPX. Yet, geopolitical and supply risks alongside macro uncertainty pose challenges. #MarketInsights

Shares of #Delta $DAL head for a higher open after it raised its Q1 revenue growth target on strong #TravelDemand and a premiumisation strategy that help it weather challenges.

Shares of $BMW open lower after the German #Automaker posted poor results and guidance, amid #Tariffs and stiff competition in China from rivals like #BYD and #Xiaomi. Revenues and pretax profits dropped in 2025 and so did deliveries in China. For the current year the group expects sales to stay flat and profits to decline again. On the bright side, EV sales increased and its US manufacturing presence provides some tariff insulation, while the company tries to weather the challenges with cost cuts. #MarketInsights

Shares of #Volkswagen $VOW open higher as the German #Automaker expects its dwindling margins to improve and revenues to not decline again this year, as it cuts costs and moves ahead with newer models, including affordable #EVs. Despite the upbeat guidance after a difficult year, Volkswagen continues to face headwinds from #Tariffs, geopolitical risks and stiff competition from Chinese rivals like #BYD. #MarketInsights

Shares of #MarvellTechnology $MRVL gear for a higher open after strong results and guidance, fuelled by #AI demand as #Hyperscalers keep investing in infrastructure buildout. Revenues grew 42% in FY26 and management expects to maintain strong momentum over the next two fiscal years, with strong performance on both its #DataCentres and communications segments. Yet, Marvell faces competition from rivals like $AVGO and broader #ChipIndustry challenges from tariffs, supply chain risks and other factors. #MarketInsights

Shares of #Broadcom $AVGO gear for a higher open as the firm delivered strong results, targets over $100 billion in #AIChips sales next year and dismissed AI displacement risks for its infrastructure software business. Broadcom continues to benefit from mounting spending from #Hyperscalers and their push for in-house chips. Revenues up 29% y/y in Q1 FY26 and management guided for faster growth in the current quarter. Nonetheless, profit growth is expected to slow, while the firm and the industry face challenges from a #MemoryChips crunch and an uncertain macro environment. #MarketIsnights

$SPX heads for higher open as #Oil prices pull back following a US pledge to ensure the free flow of energy, while markets await #Broadcom $AVGO earnings in the hope of a fresh #AI boost. However, prospects of a prolonged US-Iran conflict and elevated #EnergyPrices create stagflation risks, which could raise the bar for further #USFed rate cuts. Furthermore, #Tariffs headwinds linger, as Treasury Secretary Bessent told CNBC he expects a higher 15% global levy to take effect within the week. #MarketInsights

Stocks of European #Airlines like Lufthansa $LHA, British Airways owner IAG and airplane maker #Airbus drop as the fallout from the US-Iran conflict disrupts flights. The conflict also pushes #Oil prices higher, increasing fuel cost worries for carriers and creating a difficult environment for the #TravelIndustry. #MarketInsights

Shares of #Netflix $NFLX are set to open higher as the #Streaming giant walks away from the $WBD merger following a superior proposal from Paramount. The withdrawal is a win for fiscal discipline, with Netflix avoiding related costs and debt, regulatory scrutiny and integration complexities. However, Netflix also forgoes a potential growth catalyst, as the deal could have delivered an IP boost, an influx of subscribers and greater advertising scale. #MarketInsights

Shares of #Apple $AAPL head towards a cautious open as its #AI lag comes under the spotlight after rival Samsung unveiled its latest AI-powered #Galaxy26 flagship series. Combining $GOOG #Gemini, Perplexity and its own Bixby assistant, Samsung’s new smartphones offer robust AI capabilities, including third-party apps actions. Nonetheless, the release provides a glimpse of what #AppleIntelligence could achieve following Apple’s agreement to use Alphabet’s Gemini AI models and cloud technology. #MarketInsights

Shares of #FirstSolar $FSLR head for lower open as 2025 gross margins declined and the company guiding for flat to lower revenue this year amid #Tariffs and regulatory headwinds linked to #CleanEnergy policy shifts in the US. However, the #SolarPanels maker is showing resilience in a challenging external environment. It delivered mostly solid results and forecasts higher gross margins and adjusted profits for 2026. #MarketInsights

Shares of #Airbus $AIR open lower after markets were underwhelmed by its projected 9.7% increase in 2026 deliveries amid engine shortages, just as #Boeing $BA surpassed it last year in commercial aircraft orders. However, the company is well positioned to continue benefiting from #TravelDemand and rising #MilitarySpending. Revenue and profit accelerated last year, driven by strong performance in its defence business. #MarketInsights

Shares of #Glencore $GLEN rise after 2025 revenues grew 7%, helped by higher #Copper and metals prices amid #AI fuelled demand, and the return of $2 billion to its shareholders. Nonetheless, profits slumped reflecting lower coal prices and production issues amid an uncertain macroeconomic environment. Furthermore, the mining company has to prove it can deliver growth without #RioTinto after merger talks failed. #MarketInsights

Shares of #Alibaba $BABA head for a higher NY open after launching its latest Qwen3.5 #AI architecture, which supports #AgenticAI, the latest trend that many firms are trying to adopt.

Yet, domestic competition remains stiff as $BIDU, DeepSeek and others are also making strides. #MarketInsights

Shares of #Mercedes $MBG fall after poor results driven by US and China weakness amid #Tariffs headwinds and increased competition from rivals like #BYD and #Xiaomi. Deliveries, revenues and profits at the #AutoIndustry giant declined at a much faster pace last year compared with 2024, reflecting the tough operating environment. However, the company is betting on new models, including #EVs, and cost discipline to navigate this turbulent period, expecting stable revenues and higher EBIT in 2026. #MarketInsights

#Kering $KER revenues slumped in 2025 amid persistent Gucci weakness and broader #LuxuryRetail headwinds from tariffs, #PreciousMetals price surges and macro uncertainty. However, Kering shares opened higher as results were less bad than feared and the CEO is working to turn things around, targeting a return to growth this year. #MarketInsights

Strategists at Bank of America say US small- and mid-cap stocks are better positioned than big tech ahead of the midterm elections, as policy shifts weigh on market leaders. They argue President Trump’s push to curb living costs is undermining energy, healthcare, banks and the largest technology names, accelerating a rotation away from the “Magnificent Seven”. Recent market moves reflect that shift, with tech-heavy indices lagging while equal-weighted and domestically focused stocks outperform. Rising #AIcapital spending by #megacapsis also seen as a threat to their balance-sheet strength, reinforcing the case for smaller, more asset-heavy companies. Tradu’s US2000 may be showing strength against NAS100 (monthly relative strength chart), but RSI needs to move above 50 and hold (green rectangle). #MarketInsights
