Money & Markets Daily: The 5 |
Money & Markets Daily,
It’s time to get on the fast track to stock profits — with the five things you need to make money this week … in just five minutes.
Let’s get started!
Jobs Report Hamper U.S. Stocks
The market downturn that started Friday following last Friday’s strong payroll data seems poised to extend into this week.
Companies added 256,000 jobs in December, compared to analysts’ expectations of just 165,000.
Stocks and bonds extended losses from late last week into today as Wall Street is cutting bets on another interest rate cut coming in the near future. S&P 500 futures were down 0.75% Monday morning, while Nasdaq futures were off 1.1%.
Two commodities that are winning are oil and the U.S. dollar:
The call skew of oil options has risen to its highest point since October 2024, while the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index has hit its highest market since 2022.
The oil spike was prompted by new U.S. sanctions against Russian oil, which threaten to further crimp supplies. Oil prices have rallied to a five-month high.
The dollar moved higher against both the Euro and the U.K. pound Monday morning.

The Death of One App … The Birth of Another
In oral arguments Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on whether to uphold a lower court ruling to potentially ban the popular app TikTok because of national security issues.
If the ruling is sustained, TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, either has to sell the app to American buyers — which it’s unlikely to do — or the app will be blocked from U.S. devices.
The argument is that ByteDance is a Chinese company and that ownership is a national security risk that can only be halted by a ban or selling of the company outright.
It has prompted a migration to another ByteDance app: Lemon8.
Downloads of the Instagram-like app spiked to 5 million in December 2024 as TikTok creators have started pushing followers to download Lemon8 as the January 19 ban closes in.
Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) and Alphabet Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOGL) app stores could face hefty fines if they ban the app but still offer it in stores.
Sometimes AI Hurts More Than It Helps
Apple placed a big bet on its new Apple Intelligence and went all-in with its latest iPhone 16 model in 2024.
But it didn’t seem to help sales as the company reported a 5% drop in global sales and gave up ground to its Chinese rivals in the final quarter of the year.
Apple's biggest problem is that its Apple Intelligence features are unavailable in its largest market outside of the U.S. … China.
The company has yet to find a Chinese company to partner with on features like AI writing assistance and image generation.
According to Bloomberg, Apple sales declined 2% for the year while the wider market expanded by 4%.
 | This secret document contains stunning details about Donald Trump’s very first order of business… the minute he steps back into the White House.
Because if what’s in this leaked document is even half true (and trust me, it comes from a very, very credible source)...
Trump’s first Executive Order would easily be the boldest, most mind-blowing and daring American initiative ANY U.S. President has launched in over 80 years.
It could set off a huge dose of “Trump Market Euphoria”... igniting a buying frenzy in very specific stocks... unlike anything we’ve seen so far.
