Good morning.
Those Hooti's are at it again. My sources tell me Maersk is no longer using the Red Sea or Suez Canal to move oil and freight. Sailing around the Horn of Africa probably pumps millions of extra tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

US, UK Launch Airstrikes on Houthi Rebel Targets in Yemen
  • US had warned of ‘consequences’ if Red Sea attacks persisted

The US and UK launched airstrikes on Houthi rebel targets in Yemen, escalating a conflict with an Iranian proxy in response to a string of attacks that have disrupted commercial shipping in the Red Sea.

The US and its partners struck more than a dozen targets, including radar installations, storage sites and missile launchers, according to a US official, who asked not to be identified before a formal announcement. The attacks came from fighter jets based on the USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier, as well as Tomahawk missiles launched from submarines and surface ships.

Top 25 tactical trades with recommended option trades for next 3 months of earnings - GS

Goldman Sachs exhibited its 25 most out-of-consensus U.S. stock opportunities for earnings season by equity analysts’ estimates and qualitative comments and their recommendations on options trades.

In a Goldman Sachs Derivatives Research report, analysts said that the top 25 tactical trades recommendations have outperformed the S&P 500 (SP500) (SPY) (IVV) (VOO) by 2.1% annualized, across 1,175 trades and over the past 12 years, “but would have outperformed by an annualized 5.6% if we skipped names repeated from the prior quarter.”

Goldman analysts expect mixed performance for U.S. stocks this quarter’s earnings season as investors are crowded into single stock call options without many incremental buyers.

“While earnings are likely to benefit from the two-month decline in interest
rate expectations, investors may be disappointed as analysts/corporates are typically slow to incorporate these changes in their models,” they wrote.

These are the companies with the most out-of-consensus upside for the next three months with shares that are expected to move. The options chosen are the monthly expiry that is closest to the first out of the money calls and puts.

BlackRock Posts Earnings Beat, Buys Global Infrastructure Partners for $12.5 Billion
By

Jack Denton

BlackRock beat earnings expectations as the world’s largest money manager saw its assets top $10 trillion in the fourth quarter of 2023. The bigger news was the company’s acquisition of Global Infrastructure Partners in a $12.5 billion push into private markets.

BlackRock reported earnings of $9.66 a share on revenue of $4.63 billion in the quarter. That beat expectations of profit at $8.84 a share among analysts surveyed by FactSet, while revenue was in line with estimates. A year earlier, BlackRock reported revenue of $4.3 billion and earnings of $8.93.

Assets under management topped $10 trillion, with $96 billion in net inflows in the fourth quarter alone, the company said. Analysts had expected BlackRock to finish 2023 with assets under management of $9.8 trillion.

But hogging the spotlight as BlackRock kicked off earnings season alongside other financial giants on Friday was news that the group bought Global Infrastructure Partners in a deal worth some $12.5 billion. The transaction, expected to close in the third quarter, comprises $3 billion in cash and 12 billion shares of BlackRock common stock, which closed at a price of $792.61 on Thursday.

“The combination of BlackRock infrastructure with GIP will make us the second largest private markets infrastructure manager with over $150 billion in total AUM, providing clients—especially those saving for retirement—with the high-coupon, inflation-protected, long-duration investments they need,” BlackRock Chairman and CEO Larry Fink said in a statement.
 
Good Morning-- sorry had a conference call.

Over the near term, we are watching for 1) more upside potential in the current counter-trend rally, followed by 2) resumption of overall selling in January to test toward the 4550 - 4650 rangeon the S&P 500.

- a minor potential head & shoulders top could be developing on the charts, but it is too soon to confirm. Very short-term technical considerations imply the bias may still be up for a counter-trend move ahead, but traders should continue to watch the 4680 - 4685 zone if things start to reverse lower. If we do see a break below the 4680 - 4685 threshold in sessions ahead, we would then look for a move down to the 4550 - 4650 zone which remains our projected target for January.
