In this series, you can find financial markets posts with the highest number of interactions from my X platform feed over the most recent week. I am aware that not everybody uses X regularly so I thought it could provide some value to your analysis, and investment process. These posts are also surrounded by commentary and explanations of complicated topics.

US stocks experienced some relief rally as government bond yields declined. This was been driven by:
- big banks beating earnings estimates,
- the Bank of Japan governors comments bringing the US dollar (and yields) down,
- some slightly better than expected economic data,
- Fed officials’ dovish comments,
- and in effect rising Fed rate-cut expectations (the market sees 0.39% equivalent of cuts in 2025, up from 0.25% last week).
Will be interesting to see whether this continues next week or if the rip will be sold as major indices sit at key resistance levels.

For the trading week ending January 24, key events are:
