Global Stock Rebound After Early August Crash

Global Market Crash

Since the beginning of August 2023, many investors have begun to count their loses following the global market plunge. On Monday, August 5, stock prices crashed across several economies. Investors were worried about a potential recession and the knock-on effects from the unwind of the yen carry trade.

As of Monday, the 5th, West Texas Intermediate crude oil fell 0.97% to $72.81 a barrel. For Brent crude, the international benchmark, declined 0.90% to $76.12 a barrel. Gold was lower by 1.51% to $2,432.40 per ounce. The 10-year Treasury yield dropped 9 basis points to 3.70%. Bitcoin plunged 14.2% to $49,846.

FTSE 100 closed down to register its biggest drop in more than a year. Overnight, Japan’s stock market suffered its heaviest loss since 1987.

With all of these occurrences last week, the stock market is beginning to recover its losses. As of the time of this writing, Starbucks has gained 22% today, PACs Group has gained 14.50%, Tesla 3.85%, SPX 1.05% in just a single trading day.

On March 8, 2024, Nvidia reached a high of $977 before price fell to $755 in April 2024. A rally began in the latter part of April which has resulted into Nvidia reaching new highs in May 2024.

In the month of May, Nvidia had at least 5 Gap ups on the daily chart. $NVDA is currently at $1134. There might be a price reversal to these gap ups in the coming weeks. This reversal might eventually drop the price of Nvidia to $784. Eventually if Nvidia price fall to the $784 price level, Nvidia might no longer be the third most valuable company in the world. RSI on the weekly and daily shows price has been overbought.
