As we look to Friday, it’s noteworthy that the Nasdaq has soared for an impressive 12 consecutive days, marking its longest winning streak since 2009. This resurgence comes following a downturn during the global financial crisis-a period partly triggered by the subprime mortgage disaster. Interestingly, that year also brought what many refer to as the “Haines Bottom,” when the late Mark Haines stated live on air, “This feels like a bottom to me,” right as the market was poised for recovery. Fast forward to today, and the Nasdaq has mirrored that earlier momentum, currently up by 15% in the last 12 trading days. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has increased by 7.5%, and the S&P 500 is up by 12.5%. It’s worth noting that technology and communication services stocks have surged by 13%, while energy stocks have faced an 8% decline over the same period. Tune in to CNBC’s full market coverage starting at 5 a.m. with Morgan Brennan on “Morning Call.”
In the banking sector, regional banks are set to release quarterly earnings on ‘Squawk Box.’ Fifth Third Bancorp has seen a modest increase of 0.7% over the last three months, yet remains 11% below its 52-week high of $55.44 reached back in February. Regions Financial has edged up by half a percent in the same timeframe but is also 11% shy of its February peak of $31.53. Truist, which operates in 17 states and Washington D.C., is down 1% since its last earnings report and sits 12% below its February high.
Switching to the entertainment industry, Netflix experienced a 9% drop in after-hours trading despite reporting a strong quarterly performance. Investors appeared concerned about future guidance, even as the company anticipates a 13% revenue increase in the current quarter. Year-to-date, Netflix shares have risen about 15%, and they are up 12% over the past year.
In the tech arena, CNBC’s Seema Mody reports that the State Street SPDR S&P Software ETF (XSW) has gained 11% in just four days, although it remains 26% below its September lows. Major software players like Oracle and Microsoft have also seen significant increases, with Oracle up 29% and Microsoft up 13% in that same period.
Looking ahead at the airline industry, major players will report earnings next week. American Airlines is currently 25% below its January peak, while Delta Air Lines is down 9% from its February high. United Airlines has dropped 20% since January, and Southwest is 26% below its February highs. JetBlue has underperformed as well, sitting 15% lower than its February peak.
