The Dow Jones is correcting upwards and is trading at 35330.

The first week of corporate reporting showed that investors are redirecting their capital from the communications sector to the real one after companies in this segment began to publish disappointing financial results one after another. The day before, Netflix Inc. lost more than 35% of value after the company announced a possible decrease in the number of active subscribers by 2 million earlier this year.

In turn, the reports of Tesla Inc. and Procter & Gamble Co. supported the market. Electric car manufacturer Tesla Inc. reported revenue of 18.76 billion dollars, up from 17.72 billion dollars a quarter earlier, and EPS hit 3.22 dollars for the first time in history. Industrial group Procter & Gamble Co. also posted quarterly revenue growth of 19.38 billion dollars versus a forecast of 18.72 billion dollars, with earnings per share of 1.33 dollars, higher than the expected 1.3 dollars.

The shares of Caterpillar Inc., one of the world's leading construction and mining equipment manufacturers, traded in an uptrend, reaching 235.00 after analysts at Jefferies Group LLC upgraded its rating to Buy and Hold and its target price from 215 to 260 dollars.

Yesterday, the company's board of directors decided to keep the dividend at 1.11 dollars and set the next payment date for May 20, 2022. The shareholder register will be closed on April 25, and those wishing to receive a quarterly yield of 1.89% are advised to hurry with the placement of the issuer's securities in their portfolios.

The shares of eBay Inc., an American online retailer, are correcting upwards of around 55.

On the daily chart of the asset, a narrow downward channel has developed. Currently, the price is approaching the range resistance line passed earlier to retest it. Despite exiting the channel, the rate is still below the initial 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 57.00, which is a prerequisite for starting an upward correction.

On the four-hour chart of the asset, the first signs of future growth begin to appear, and if it consolidates above the initial correction of 23.6% around $57, two trend development scenarios are relevant. The first and most likely one is reaching the 38.2% Fibonacci base correction level at $62 The second scenario assumes a fully formed correction, reaching the 61.8% full correction level at 69.

Against the backdrop of the start of the corporate reporting period, the French stock index is trying to show growth. The day before, L’Oreal SA, Danone SA and Kering SA provided their reports. L'Oreal SA reported revenue of 9.06 billion euros, which was in line with the previous quarter and exceeded the forecast of 8.86 billion euros in revenue. Food concern Danone SA reported quarterly revenue of 6.24 billion euros, which exceeded the forecast of 6.2 billion euros and coincided with revenue in the previous quarter. Luxury goods maker Kering SA reported revenue of 4.96 billion euros, which beat the forecast of 4.63 billion euros.

Along with the stock market, the bond market continues to grow. The yield on 10-year French Treasuries increased by 0.47% and conservative 20-year ones increased by 0.03%. Traditionally, short-term bonds demonstrate the greatest growth: the yield of 9-month bonds increased by 4.57% compared to yesterday's close.

Raytheon Technologies Corporation is an American multinational aerospace and defense conglomerate headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts. It is one of the largest aerospace, intelligence services providers, and defense manufacturers in the world by revenue and market capitalization.

The shares of Raytheon Technologies Corp., one of the largest US financial and industrial groups, are moving within a stable corrective trend near the level of 100.

On the daily chart, a narrow ascending channel is forming, within which the price once again failed to consolidate above the resistance line around 106 and returned to the channel, dropping to the support line at 99, coinciding with the initial correction level of 23.6% Fibonacci. The beginning of a global downward correction is possible only after the consolidation below the level.

Technical indicators signal the presence of a stable buy signal but do not rule out a downward correction: fast EMAs on the Alligator indicator are approaching the signal line, and the AO oscillator histogram is forming downward bars in the buying zone.

General Electric Co. stocks continue to trade within the mid-term downward channel. Over the past two weeks, the price has attempted to grow and reached 93.74, but then corrected downwards against the background of the statement by the head of the US Fed Jerome Powell about the need for a sharp adjustment of interest rates already at the May meeting of the regulator.

The growth of quotations of the trading instrument may resume if positive financial statements on activities for Q1 2022 are published on Tuesday. It should be noted that during the last four reporting quarters, management reported higher profits than experts expected. Positive dynamics is also possible in Q1 2022, as efforts to reduce the volume of debts, reduce costs and benefits from previously acquired assets will affect financial indicators. According to the estimates of the analytical company Zacks Investment Research, the income of General Electric Co. in the healthcare sector, may amount to 4,206B dollars, which is 2.4% less than the same indicator last year. The profit of the aviation sector may reach 5.896B dollars, which is 18.1% more than in the same period last year. Total earnings per share may amount to 0.23 dollars, and total revenue – to 17.17B dollars. In general, investors will be able to receive 3.16 dollars per share for the year. Β  Β  Β

The shares of one of the largest banks and analytical agencies in the US, Bank of America Corp., are traded within a corrective trend around 37.

On the daily chart, the price is within a rare Symmetrical Channel pattern and the day before reached the global support level of 36.6, which many times acted as a strong support for the asset and was eventually tested by quotes just at the beginning of the formation of this figure.

On the four-hour chart, the instrument is falling within the second channel, which is directed downwards. After reaching the resistance line of 40, a clear reversal has formed and there are all signs of a likely continuation of the downtrend. This probability is confirmed by the readings of technical indicators: the range of EMA fluctuations on the Alligator indicator continues to expand in the direction of decline, and the histogram of the AO oscillator forms descending bars, being in the sell zone.

The leading index of the London Stock Exchange FTSE 100 is showing local corrective dynamics and is now at 7474.0.

Tomorrow, one of the largest components, HSBC Holdings Plc., and tobacco market leader, British American Tobacco Group, will publish their financial statements. From the British financial giant, analysts expect quarterly revenue to rise to 9.76 billion pounds, well above 8.89 billion in the previous period, but forecasts for the British American Tobacco Group are rather pessimistic: revenue is expected to fall to 12.67 billion pounds compared to 13.51 billion a quarter earlier.

One should also note the ongoing correction in the UK bond market, where 10-year bonds fell to 1.8465% from 2.0150% at the end of last week. The yield on 20-year conservative bonds corrected to 1.954%, which is well below the high of 2.128% set last Thursday

Despite the loss of the Russian and Belarusian markets, the issuer managed to increase the number of active users to 1.96B from 1.93B a quarter earlier. However, statistics recorded a drop in quarterly revenue to 27.91B dollars from 33.67B dollars and net income from 9.50B dollars to 7.47B dollars in Q1 2022. The world's largest chain of fast food restaurants McDonald's Corp. reported an 11% increase in revenue over the same period.

On the daily chart, the development of the third wave of the higher level 3 has completed, in which wave (5) of 3 has formed, and the development of a downward correction as the fourth wave 4 continues. At the moment, wave (A) of 4 has formed, wave (B) of 4 has completed and wave (C) of 4 is developing, in which the first wave of the lower level 2 of (C) was formed.

If the assumption is correct, the price will fall to the levels of 148.43 - 127.03. The level of 170.35 is critical and stop-loss for this scenario.

Nasdaq 100, corporate reporting disappoints the market

Quotes of the US technology index Nasdaq 100 show a downtrend in the area of 12940.0, having overcome another annual low after the release of weak financial data of the largest components.

The most active day of the entire corporate reporting period was disappointing for investors, as such recognized leaders of the sector as the online trading platform Amazon.com Inc. and computer component designer Intel Corp. showed a negative trend. In particular, Amazon.com Inc. reported a drop in quarterly revenue to 116.44B dollars from 137.41B dollars, as well as the first quarter in seven years with a net loss of -7.56 dollars per share amid record inflation in the United States, which reached 40 years highs. Quotes of Intel Corp. are also actively declining after a drop in quarterly revenue to 18.35B dollars from 19.53B dollars recorded a quarter earlier. The company's earnings per share fell to 0.87 dollars from 1.09 dollars in the previous period. Shares of Apple Inc. also show a downtrend: the issuer recorded revenue of 97.28B dollars in Q1 2022 compared to 123.95B dollars in Q4 2021.

Corporate reporting data puts pressure on quotes.
S&P 500 is correcting down after the release of the financial results of the leading components and is now trading at 4173.

This week may continue the negative wave of reporting giants of the US corporate sector. The holding company controlled by Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., reported revenue of 70.81B dollars, beating analysts' forecast of 70.19B dollars, but earnings per share were 4.774K dollars, down from 4.901K dollars a quarter earlier.

Pfizer Inc., Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) and Starbucks Corp. will present their data today. Market participants expect from pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc. a quarterly revenue of 24.1B dollars, which could surpass the previous period's figure of 23.84B dollars. AMD could also improve, posting a profit of 5.01B dollars from 4.83B dollars, while the global coffee market leader, Starbucks Corp., is likely to worsen its numbers (revenue could reach 7.62B dollars, which is below 8.05B dollars a quarter earlier).

On the daily chart, the development of the third wave of the higher level 3 was completed and the development of a downward correction as the wave 4 continues. At the moment there is a formation of the wave (A) of 4, which included the third wave of the lower level 3 of (A).Β

The leading index of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange DAX 30 is trading at 14300. The German stock market shows a slight corrective growth after the publication of positive financial statements of the main components.

Earlier, the national postal service Deutsche Post AG presented its data, which reported revenue of 22.59B euros, which significantly exceeded the analysts' forecast, which assumed a value of 20.54B euros. Earnings per share also exceeded preliminary market estimates of 0.9309 euros and amounted to 1.0800 euros. The statistics of the world's largest automaker, Volkswagen AG, also turned out to be positive: quarterly revenue was recorded at 62.74B euros, exceeding the forecast of 61.55B euros. Earnings per share amounted to 13.05 euros, which is the highest since Q1 2020. Siemens AG's medical equipment manufacturing division, Siemens Healthineers AG, reported revenue of 5.46B euros, improving both analysts' forecast of 4.98B euros and the previous quarter's figure of 5.07B euros. Earnings per share have become a record since 2018, amounting to 0.67 euros per share. Β

The leading index of the London Stock Exchange FTSE 100 demonstrates local corrective dynamics and is now at the level of 7487.0. As expected, after the Bank of England raised the interest rate from 0.75% to 1.00% at yesterday's monetary policy meeting, the stock market of the United Kingdom moved to a decline, since adjusting the value is always a negative aspect for risky assets such as stocks.Β 

As for the corporate segment itself, the presented financial statements turned out to be ambiguous. Thus, Royal Gold Inc., a company engaged in the sale of precious metals and royalties, reported revenue of 162.36M pounds, exceeding analysts' preliminary estimates of 140.45M pounds, while earnings per share amounted to 0.99 pounds against the forecast of 0.86 pounds. Shell Oil and Gas Concern Plc recorded a 26% increase in net profit, despite the loss of 3.9B dollars after leaving the Russian market. Among the negative reports, another oil and gas giant, British Petroleum Plc, should be noted, which reported a drop in quarterly revenue to 49.26B pounds from 52.24B pounds. The final financial result was also affected by estimated losses of 25B dollars due to the loss of the Russian sales market.

The index quotes continue to trade within the framework of the global Broadening Formation pattern and after reaching the resistance line, they show a decline.

The leading index of the US economy, the S&P 500, is correcting downwards, being under pressure from the upward dynamics in the bond market, and is now trading at 4083.5.

The publication period for corporate reports ends, and its results rather disappointed investors. Among the companies that presented their data at the end of last week, the main competitor of Tesla Inc., the American electric car manufacturer Lucid Group Inc. is worth noting. The issuer increased quarterly revenue to 57.68M dollars, which exceeds 26.39M dollars, received in the previous quarter, and 313K dollars in 2021. Earnings per share narrowly missed the positive zone, stopping at –0.05 dollars, which is much better than the loss of –0.64 dollars a quarter earlier. Positive dynamics develop due to the growing demand for the luxury model of the Lucid Air electric car. The company's customers have already reserved more than 30K cars, which will bring the company revenue of about 2.9B dollars.

Serious pressure on risky assets is exerted by the situation in the domestic bond market. For example, the popular 10-year Treasury reached an all-time fall 2018 all-time high of 3.142%, rising from 2.950% in a week, while 20-year bonds are trading at a yield of 3.4606%, which is higher than the 3.2214% shown at the beginning of the month. Only annual bonds did not grow over the past week. Its yield is 2.106%.

Netflix, the price may fall.

On the daily chart, the wave A of the higher level formed, and a downward correction develops as the wave B. Now, the wave (А) of B has formed, the correction (B) of B has developed, and the wave (C) of B is forming, within which the development of the fifth wave of the lower level 5 of (C) has started. 

If the assumption is correct, the price will fall to the levels of 132.95–80.22. In this scenario, critical stop loss level is 206.31.
