Stock futures fall after Walmart cuts forecast, says inflation hit consumer spending
U.S. stock futures fell on Tuesday morning after Walmart cut its profit forecast, sending retail stocks tumbling after hours.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell by 120 points, or 0.38%. S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures declined 0.3% and 0.39%, respectively.
A late Monday announcement from Walmart, which cut its quarterly and full-year profit estimates because of rising food inflation, alarmed investors who deliberated the implications for other retail stocks. The big-box retailer said higher prices are spurring consumers to pull back on general merchandise spending, particularly in apparel.
Walmart plunged nearly 9% in extended trading, and dragged other retailers with it. Target dropped 5% and Amazon fell 4%. Macy’s and Dollar General each declined 3%, while Costco shed 2%.
“Clearly, they have the wrong stuff, and they have to sell it more aggressively to clear that out, which looks like it’s going to take a pretty dramatic hit as a result of that,” Jeremy Bryan, senior portfolio manager at Gradient Investments, said during CNBC’s “Closing Bell: Overtime.”
“The question is, how does this relate to the rest of the discretionary space?” Bryan added.
Stocks during Monday’s session traded in a narrow range, with the S&P 500 adding 0.1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 90.75 points, or 0.3%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite lagged, sliding 0.4%. All of the major averages are on track for their best month of the year.
Traders are bracing for an onslaught of mega-cap tech earnings and economic data this week, as well as the outcome of the Federal Reserve meeting, that will help Wall Street direct its expectations for the rest of the year.
“I think that there’s going to be a bifurcated market,” VantageRock Capital’s Avery Sheffield said during CNBC’s “Closing Bell: Overtime.” “I think the bottom might be in certain stocks, but nowhere in others. So this actually could be one of the most dynamic earnings seasons we’ve seen in a long time.”
On Tuesday, the Federal Reserve will commence its two-day policy meeting. Traders are widely expecting a three-quarter percentage point hike.
Coca-Cola, McDonald’s and General Motors are set to report earnings Tuesday before the bell. Alphabet, Microsoft, Chipotle Mexican Grill, UPS and Enphase Energy will report after the bell.
On the economic front, traders are expecting the latest reading of the Case-Shiller Home Price Index at 9 a.m. ET. The consumer confidence report and new home sales data are due out at 10 a.m. ET.

Gold bounces 1% as dollar hastens retreat
Gold rose 1% in volatile trade on Thursday as the dollar pulled back sharply on the U.S. central bank’s aggressive policy outlook, bringing some of the safe-haven lure back to the metal.
Spot gold was last up 0.9% at $1,849.21 per ounce. U.S. gold futures settled up 1.7% at $1,849.90.
Bolstering gold’s appeal among overseas buyers, the dollar fell 1.6% to retreat from recent two-decade highs.
“Gold is now starting to look pretty attractive as the bet on the U.S. economy is dwindling,” said Edward Moya, senior analyst with OANDA.
“As the dollar rally has hit a peak and investors are right now looking for safe havens, the gold trade looks pretty attractive,” Moya added.
While gold has recently moved in tandem with stock and bond markets, rather than gaining from pure safe-haven flows, its rise on Thursday came despite a steep selloff on Wall Street that was driven by worries over recession.
Inflation and economic uncertainties are usually supportive of gold, but higher interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion.
Gold’s safe-haven lure could fade further if the Federal Reserve successfully fights inflation without pushing the United States into a recession, said Carsten Menke, head of Next Generation Research at Julius Baer.
The Fed announced its largest interest rate increase in more than a quarter of a century on Wednesday.
Concerns about surging inflation also prompted other central banks to tighten monetary policies. The Swiss National Bank unexpectedly raised its policy rate for the first time in 15 years and the Bank of England followed suit.
Elsewhere, spot silver rose 1.1% to $21.89 per ounce, platinum gained 1% to $948.90 and palladium rose 0.8% to $1,876.18.

US Inflation at 8.6% in May, Blows Past Estimates and Hits Highest Level Since 1981
MAY INFLATION KEY POINTS:
May U.S. inflation rises 1% on a seasonally adjusted basis and 8.6% over the last 12 months, well above expectations
Core CPI increases 0.6% m-o-m and 6% y-o-y, also above consensus estimates
Strong inflationary forces could put pressure on the Fed to increase rates in 50 bps increments well beyond the July meeting
In the face of persistently elevated inflation, the U.S. central bank may be inclined to maintain a hawkish posture and continue to front-load interest rate increases to move monetary policy to a neutral more expeditiously, a level that neither stimulates no restricts economic activity. Following the May FOMC meeting, the prevailing view was that the Fed would only deliver two additional super-sized hikes (in June and July) and then return to the standard 25 bps adjustment in September, but with unrelenting price pressures, a more forceful tightening roadmap cannot be ruled out.

Forex Vs Stocks: Top Differences & How to Trade Them
Traders often compare forex vs stocks to determine which market is better to trade. Despite being interconnected, the forex and stock market are vastly different. The forex market has unique characteristics that set it apart from other markets, and in the eyes of many, also make it far more attractive to trade.
When choosing to trade forex or stocks, it often comes down to knowing which trading style suits you best.But knowing the differences and similarities between the stock and forex market also enables traders to make informed trading decisions based on factors such as market conditions, liquidity and volume.
How can I transition from forex trading to stock trading?
To move from forex to stock trading you will need to understand the fundamental differences between forex and stocks. When you boil it down, forex movements are caused by interest rates and their anticipated movements. Stocks are dependent on revenue, balance sheet projections and the economies they operate in amongst other things. Find out more on how to transition from forex to stock trading.
Are there any differences between forex and commodities trading?
Forex and commodities differ in terms of regulation, leverage, and exchange limits. Forex markets are a lot less regulated than commodities markets whilst commodities markets are highly regulated. In terms of leverage, it exists in both the forex and commodities market, but in the forex market it is more popular due to greater liquidity and lower volatility (leverage can amplify losses and gains).
Also, like stocks, commodities trade on exchanges. Commodity exchanges set roofs and floors for the price fluctuations of commodities and when these limits are hit trading may be halted for a certain time depending on the product traded. The forex and stock market do not have limits that can prevent trading from happening.

The Most Volatile Currency Pairs and How to Trade Them
FX markets are susceptible to a range of factors which affect their volatility, and many traders look to tailor their strategies to capitalize on the most volatile currency pairs.
Currency volatility, often measured by calculating the standard deviation or variance of currency price movements, gives traders an idea of how much a currency might move relative to its average over a given time period. Traders can also gauge volatility by looking at a currency pair’s average true range or by looking at range as percent of spot.
The higher the level of currency volatility, the higher the degree of risk, and vice versa. Volatility and risk are usually used as interchangeable terms.Different currency pairs have different levels of volatility on average.
Some traders enjoy the higher potential rewards that come with trading volatile currency pairs. Although, this increased potential reward does present a greater risk, so traders should consider reducing their position sizes when trading highly volatile currency pairs.
Key things traders should know about volatility:
Big news events like Brexit or trade wars can have a major impact on a currency’s volatility. Data releases can also influence volatility. Traders can stay ahead of data releases by using an economic calendar.
Volatile currency pairs still obey many technical aspects of trading, like support and resistance levels, trendlines and price patterns. Traders can take advantage of the volatility using technical analysis in combination with strict risk management principles.
Staying up to date with the latest forex pair news, analysis and rates can help you predict possible changes in volatility. We provide comprehensive trading forecasts to help you navigate the market.
DailyFX hosts daily webinars to answer questions and help traders prepare for volatile market conditions.

WHAT IS CPI AND WHY DOES IT MATTER TO FOREX TRADERS?
The Consumer Price Index, better known by the acronym CPI, is an important economic indicator released on a regular basis by major economies to give a timely glimpse into current growth and inflation levels.
Inflation tracked through CPI looks specifically at purchasing power and the rise of prices of goods and services in an economy, which can be used to influence a nation’s monetary policy.
CPI is calculated by averaging price changes for each item in a predetermined basket of consumer goods, including food, energy, and also services such as medical care.
It is a useful indicator for forex traders due to its aforementioned effect on monetary policy and, in turn, interest rates, which have a direct impact on currency strength. The full utility of knowing how to interpret CPI as a forex trader will be explored below.
The CPI and Forex: How CPI Data Affects Currency Prices
In this article, we’ll explore CPI and forex trading, looking at what traders should know about the Consumer Price Index to make informed decisions. We’ll cover what CPI is as a concept, the CPI release dates, how to interpret CPI, and what to consider when trading forex against CPI data.

GBP Forecast Q2 2022: The Bank of England's Inflation and Growth Puzzle
The Bank of England (BoE) is expected to raise UK interest rates further in the second quarter of 2022 as the UK central bank tries to stem soaring prices pressures. The BoE has already lifted the Bank Rate to 0.75% from 0.1% in late 2021 and money markets are currently pricing in 125 basis points of additional rate hikes this year. The latest Office for National Statistics (ONS) inflation release showed headline inflation hitting 6.2% in February, a fresh 30-year high, while core inflation rose to 5.2% from 4.4% in January. And even higher levels of inflation are expected in Q2 this year. The latest BoE monetary policy release shows that the UK central bank expect headline inflation to top 8% in the coming months, citing sky high energy and food prices as the main drivers of the move.THE BRITISH POUND IN THE MONTHS AHEAD
Sterling has had a mixed Q1 and the outlook for the second quarter of the year is expected to continue these trends. GBP/USD slipped lower during the first three months of the year as the US dollar priced in a series of interest rate hikes during 2022 and into next year, widening the rate differential between the two currencies. Sterling rallied against the Japanese Yen, primarily due to JPY weakness, while EUR/GBP traded sideways with a slight negative bias. The British Pound also fell against the Australian dollar, as the commodity rich country benefitted from sharply higher metal and mineral prices. These, overall trends are likely to continue unless there is a major shift in the macro outlook, namely the ongoing crisis in the Ukraine.
