Renewed interest in Mag7 after its decline

The Nasdaq Composite is poised to end its longest streak of weekly losses in four years, thanks to renewed investor interest in technology giants that have fallen significantly in price. Amazon's price-to-forward earnings ratio has dropped to 25, a 17-year low. NVIDIA's P/E recently plummeted to its lowest level since the US imposed tariffs in April.

At the end of 2025, the inflated fundamental valuations of the Magnificent Seven companies and fears that they would be unable to generate adequate returns on their colossal investments in AI triggered a rotation in the US stock market. However, if the tech giants continue to spend money on Artificial Intelligence, it means they have it. UBS estimates that Amazon, Meta and Google will invest $360 billion in 2026 to build data centres and other AI-related capital expenditures.

Crypto: Bearish consolidation continues

The crypto market has gained 1.3% over the past 24 hours to $2.33T, rebounding from Thursday's local lows of $2.27T. The range of fluctuations continues to narrow, with a sequence of rising local lows. By contrast, the last two local highs were roughly at the same level of $2.40T. Trump Coin has rallied, gaining nearly 10% in 24 hours, with Solana also performing well (+3.4%). Dash and Toncoin are down 3.4% and 1.5% over the same period, at the other end of the spectrum among top coins.

Bitcoin has been gaining since the start of active trading in the US on Thursday, adding just over 3.5% during this time and bringing the price to $67.9K. However, this is only a recovery to the levels seen at the beginning of the week, so it is too early to talk about a confident rebound. A bearish pennant pattern is forming on the daily candlestick chart. It will be confirmed if the price declines below $65.7K and cancelled if it rises above $70K. Taking a step back, the current move appears to be part of a protracted consolidation in the $60-70K range, a critical zone from a historical point of view.

Gold Faces Key Test at $5,100

Gold has been hovering around $5,000 per ounce for the past two weeks. A weak start to the week, with a drop to $4,850, was followed by a gradual rise to $5,030.

The precious metal proved resilient to the hawkish FOMC minutes, the strengthening of the dollar and the rise in US Treasury bond yields (its main competitor). Geopolitical factors appear to be supporting demand, as some investors view gold as a hedge against market volatility. In addition, there are still concerns that with the change of the Fed chair in May, the FOMC will move to a sharp easing of policy. In the short term, this rather bullish external backdrop falls on fertile ground, as the price is about 13% below its peak.
