“It’s Shocking No Matter How Uou Look At It” Futures Jump On Mega Tech Earnings; Gold Hits New Record High

“It’s Shocking No Matter How Uou Look At It” Futures Jump On Mega Tech Earnings; Gold Hits New Record High Tyler Durden Fri, 07/31/2020 – 08:15 S&P futures rose (but faded much of their earlier gains) alongside European shares with Nasdaq futures jumping nearly 1% as stellar earnings from US tech giants lifted sentiment amid dismal economic data and a resurgent virus. Gold climbed to a record even as the dollar rebounded from two year lows. The Tech Tsunami helped lifted European shares, with the Stoxx Europe 600 Index rising, even after France and Spain posted record economic contractions. Nokia Oyj soared after earnings beat estimates, while BNP Paribas SA jumped on a blowout performance in fixed-income trading. Following the dismal US GDP print, the Euro Area reported that in Q2, its GDP contracted sharply by 12.1%qoq, in line with expectations, and corresponding to by far the sharpest decline in quarterly GDP growth since records began in 1995. French and Italian GDP both contracted by less than expected—by -13.8% and -12.4%, respectively—whereas Spanish GDP contracted most sharply (-18.5%) across the Euro area countries that have so far reported Q2 GDP.
