Against the backdrop of the Federal Reserve maintaining high interest rates and announcing an easing of quantitative austerity (QT) in June, the three major US stock indexes experienced sharp fluctuations. Although the S&P and NASDAQ indices eventually recorded two consecutive days of decline, the market once surged by more than 1% after Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's speech. Among them, Amazon closed up more than 2% due to good earnings performance, while Starbucks plummeted 16% due to poor performance.
Chip stocks are generally under pressure. The chip stock index fell by more than 3%. Among them, Nvidia and Ultramix fell nearly 4% and 14%, respectively, and AMD also plummeted 9%. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve's statement had a profound impact on financial markets. Powell stressed that although further interest rate hikes are unlikely in the short term, it will take longer to gain confidence in interest rate cuts, especially when the labor market may unexpectedly weaken.
In terms of economic data, the US ISM manufacturing index unexpectedly fell to 49.2 in April, indicating a contraction in manufacturing activity. Meanwhile, ADP employment data for April was better than expected, but JOLTS job vacancies fell to a three-year low in March, indicating that the labor market is slowing down.
At the same time, Qualcomm announced second-quarter earnings that exceeded expectations. Thanks to strong demand for AI chips in smartphones and PC computers, the company's performance and guidance for the next quarter showed a positive growth trend. The market gave a positive assessment of Qualcomm's future prospects, and its stock price rose 5% in after-hours trading.
In international financial markets, the dollar index accelerated its decline after the session, while the yen surged by more than 3% at the end of the session. Crude oil prices have also dropped sharply...

$Amazon(AMZN.US$ beats on top and bottom lines. Guidance is mixed.
Amazon reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the first quarter, driven by growth in advertising and cloud computing. The stock was volatile in extended trading.
Amazon expects a continued jump in profitability for the second quarter but at a more measured pace. The company said operating income will be $10 billion to $14 billion, up from $7.7 billion a year earlier.

April was a dynamic and volatile month for my portfolio. My investment strategies yielded a profit of SGD 14,240 (USD 7,463), which is a 4.31% money-weighted monthly gain (3.98% simple-gain). The Quarterly earnings and interest rate uncertainty drove high implied volatility, presenting opportunities for premium gains from put selling. The market's reaction to Q1 earnings allowed me to capitalize on well-timed entries.
