The AEX is -0.3% and what does that include?

Because the chips (in Asia) are good at Nvidia, which did +8.9% yesterday after the New York Stock Exchange, mainly on AI fantasy.

• European futures turn green
• US futures higher, with NASDAQ 100 mini index as a variable: +0.7% (ie on Nvidia)
• Most of Asia is red (Nikkei 225 is the peak at -1.3%), but Korea and especially Taiwan are doing well

  Alibaba + 2.0%
  Baidu -0.8%
  Tencent -0.2%
  TSMC+2.2%
  Samsung + 1.5%

• Volatility (CBOE VIX Index) is -2.5% at 22.3
• The dollar rose 0.2% at 1.0622 and reached below 1.06 last night after the latest Fed rate decision. This is still fighting inflation
• Gold and Oil rose 0.3% and cryptocurrencies are back on track, up 2% and some more

Interest rates are rising again and the US is approaching 4%.

Good news after Wall Street, Nvida’s Gigachipper beats expectations and sees what fantasy is: AI. So the stock was up 8.9% after the close. More on that front: Lucid was also in with Preparation Then it went -9.3% again

Aalberts shows you how to issue a press release in numbers: everything is clearly arranged on one, textured page. The numbers themselves are also good and better than expected, but free cash flow is really down due to investments and working capital. Profits will be increased by 10%.

Fugro’s numbers are hard to interpret at a glance: the margin in the fourth quarter is low and the stock market is currently sensitive to that, but over the course of the whole of 2022, it’s back up to 6.1%. The company continues to grow well, particularly in Wnd. Fugro does not propose dividends.

Reuters gives more headlines than SBM Offshore itself press release And here’s why. Mixed bag: Turnover is OK, profit is a bit lower, outlook could also be a bit scanty, earnings will be up 10% and cash position (so) lower. Read more here.

ForFarmers continues to struggle, and volumes continue to decline. More sales and then you know what’s what.

Of course I already spotted AMG last night:

There are more numbers, see the news below. I’m glad that from next week I can write morning calls again instead of having to hunt down a string of numbers each morning.
