Is the bear escaping? The AEX indicator is -0.4% around 693 after a true debacle on Wall Street with the S&P 500 -3.6% and the Nasdaq 100 even -5.0%. The worst day in two years.
- European futures are a few tenths lower
- The US has risen 0.1% to -0.3% with the technology at a disadvantage again
- In Asia, everything is 1% to 2% lower with Hang Seng even -3.7%. Oops, Tencent has fallen -4.4% in Hong Kong
- Is not it too bad? Volatility (CBOE VIX Index) closed + 22.7% at 31.2
- The dollar rises 0.2% to 1.052
- The trend is upward and considerable, but the German ten-year interest rate now does nothing at 1.04 and the US interest rate is the same at 3.08%
- Gold -0.1%, oil + 0.5% and crypto are flat
This is this week’s rolling S&P 500 mini-future. What a clumsy move. In the Fed, you know. Up. And back again. Why really …?
Meanwhile, meanwhile in Frankfurt:

Back to the US indices. Not the S&P 500 itself, but the Nasdaq 100 technology index narrowly dropped a lower intraday floor, confirming its bear market.

A door down the road, is the US 10-year dividend not really on a collision course with the whole, long, scary downward trend since 1981? It looks like that.

Or do you prefer alternative currencies? It also has an ego will. or not? Bitcoin briefly went -10% yesterday.

Of course there are numbers again on Damrak. ING’s Q1s are a mixed bag. The profit is halved because the bank writes off Russia. The loop pot went to € 987 million, or four times as much as a year earlier. But the bank has room for 1.25 billion euros in additional shareholder returns.

Aperam’s Q1 is slightly better than expected and an additional $ 100 million is on the way through share buybacks.

The Galapagos announced in their figures last night that they maintain their previously issued estimates of spending for 2022. Liquidity fell from € 4.6 billion to € 4.7 billion. The company wrote red numbers.
