Coronavirus News
Cumulative cases of coronavirus worldwide reached 110.51 million. The deaths from Covid-19 were 2.44 million.
Coronavirus cases in the US hit 28.45 million, with deaths above 502,000.
Fed signals have not been in effect for some time.
Strong retail sales and other economic data early Wednesday apparently halted growth stocks in public. A stronger economy is good news, equal in all respects. However, the strong reports ease the pressure to pass on a major new stimulus, although a major package is still likely. The ten-year treasury yield has also risen over the past few weeks and moved slightly higher on Wednesday.
However, the Federal Reserve is in no hurry to take the fist away. Federal Reserve officials did not expect to begin scaling down their enormous asset-buying program for some time, the minutes of the Fed meeting in January showed Wednesday. While some Fed officials may be concerned about asset prices, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and the central bank are focused on reviving economic growth and employment. The Fed minutes made it clear that policymakers will continue to pour cheap money into financial markets and the economy.
Stock market rally Wednesday
The upswing in the stock market started badly for growth stocks, at least as the morning wore on. But ARK Funds’ Wood discussed Tesla shares. At 14:00 ET, the minutes of the Fed meeting were announced.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 0.3% in stock market trading on Wednesday as industry, finance, fertilizer manufacturers and other real economy equities performed well. The S&P 500 index closed just below fair value. The Nasdaq composite fell 0.6%, near the highest sessions after falling 1.7% intraday.
Tesla price cuts
Tesla lowered the price of its Model 3 Standard Range Plus to $ 36,990 from $ 37,990. While the Model Y SR + price is now $ 39,990, lower than $ 41,990. The Model SR + was launched in January. Even at the new, lower price, the Model Y SR + is more expensive than the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the ID number that will be introduced soon.
Meanwhile, Tesla has increased the price of the Performance variant of Model 3 and Model Y by $ 1,000 to $ 55,990 and $ 60,990 from $ 59,990.
In Japan, Tesla Model 3 prices have dropped by as much as 24%.
Tesla has lowered European prices several times over the past few months.
Tesla Stock
The Tesla share fell 2% ahead of Thursday’s opening, suggesting a move back to the 10-week line.
On Wednesday, the Tesla share fell as low as 762.08 intraday, almost hitting its 50-day line and breaking the ten-week average. However, the stock rose to close 0.2% to 798.15. Wood said she still buys shares from the EV manufacturer. Wood also once again expressed ‘confidence’ about Tesla’s potential to drive and to drive himself. She has been a long-standing impact on Tesla’s self-driving efforts, though autonomous experts have drawn criticism and more competitors are testing real self-driving vehicles.
This is the first 50-day / ten-week test of TSLA shares since the outbreak in November. That may be a buy signal, though Thursday’s performance in the market is not hopeful. However, Tesla’s share remains below the exponential moving average of 21 days, an area of resistance in recent days.
Apple stock
Apple shares fell 1.8% on Wednesday to 130.84, closing lower than the 50 and 10 weekly highs. Shares are slipping further and further from a 138.89 cup buying point with the handle.

It still does not flicker a big sell signal – it is only 1.2% below the ten week line – unless you are 7% -8% lower on your purchase price.
Apple shares fell 1% early Thursday.

The ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) lost 2.1% and ARK Genomic Revolution (ARKG) 1.8%.
Important earnings

Tilray reported a smaller-than-expected loss, including a meager EBITDA gain, while sales beat slightly. Tilray shares rose 7% in the pre-trading market. But this is not a big step for this marijuana stock. TLRY shares tumbled 9% to 31.51 on Wednesday, well below the February 67 high.
The quick earnings only beat the quarterly view, but the lead ranged from in line to slightly below consensus. FSLY share retreated 6% in overnight trading. The stock fell sharply 2.7% to 94.85 on Wednesday, a fifth consecutive decline. Equities were in a broad and loose consolidation that seems more suspicious at the current stage of the stock market.

The Albemarle share fell 2.9% on Wednesday, breaking its 50-day line after turning lower to below its 21-day line on Tuesday. Investors may buy a return of ALB shares from the 50-day line, but will likely have to wait for a move above the 21-day or even Tuesday’s intraday high of 171.35.

Analysis of stock market marches
Whether you want to call Wednesday’s session a downturn or a rotation, the stock market moved out of the leading stocks on Wednesday.
Is it just another 1-day break or the start of a one-week setback or something more serious? The Nasdaq is now 6.2% above its 50-day moving average. This is from recent highs, but still slightly extended. The Nasdaq did not even close below the ten-day line. A retreat to the exponential moving average of 21 days or even the 50-day line can still be seen as a relatively modest setback, especially if the market rebounds. However, there is always the possibility that this withdrawal will last deeper and longer.
The Nasdaq never touched its 21-day line on Wednesday, but many growth names were down 5% or more, contributing to Tuesday’s losses.
The playing time of the market is over
Powerful meetings in the stock market are great, but they can lead to bad habits. If you have been leveraging hard over the past ten months, buying the most popular names, adding and not worrying about sloppy consolidations, your portfolio has made tremendous profits.
Investors who bought the dip in the Nasdaq or Tesla stock were rewarded again for at least a few hours on Wednesday. Perhaps growth stocks will return to a record high again.
But if you trade a wild, unstoppable stock market march in the long run, your portfolio is going to inflate.
It’s time to dump her and move on. The focus is on the best stocks.
Remember, the best stocks and quality bases may not be in traditional growth names. If nothing else, investors need to expand their horizons to cyclical and financial.
