Netflix Earnings Winner -- Nick Santiago 1-24-24  #558 Daily Market Wisdom with Nick Santiago

    • Investing

1. Earnings season is underway. Netflix (NFLX) reported last night and that stock is a big winner this morning trading higher by 13%. Texas Instruments (TXN) on the other hand is trading down by 2.8%. Then we have consumer goods stock Kimberly Clark (KMB) trading lower by 4.5%. This stock is dragging most of the consumer goods names lower. Clorox, Colgate and Church & Dwight are falling in sympathy with Kimberly Clark. This week earnings are reving up, but next week is when we really hit full throttle with earnings reports.

2. The small caps were lagging a little today. The Russell 2000 Index (IWM) was trading lower by 0.20%, but now up 0.25%. Outside of that the major indexes seem fine and continue to ramp up almost every trading session.

3. Gold is declining a little today trading down about 0.30%. The precious metal is still holding the psychological $2000 level. Traders and investors like myself are keeping a close eye on the pattern that forms over the next couple weeks. If you have a long term outlook then there is nothing wrong. In the short term I continue to see choppiness.

4. Bitcoin is trying to catch a bounce after hitting daily chart support. Last week, I pointed out that a pullback was underway and the $39,600 level would be some short term daily chart support. That support level was pierced yesterday and today the popular crypto is catching a bid. Remember, nothing goes down in a straight line.
