| NASDAQ 100 -1.69% |
| Wall Street closed negative yesterday following the wake-up call on Walmart’s financial results. The company is one of the strongest indicators of demand behavior in the US, and domestic demand, being the main component of GDP, can help predict a possible economic slowdown or recession. The Nasdaq 100 is currently down 1.69% and is trading at 12,151 points. Walmart shares fell 7.7%. While Amazon shares fell 4% and being the most important component of the index, it dragged down the Nasdaq 100. |

| Price is below the 200-day moving average, between support 2 and resistance 2. Expected trading range between 12,046 and 12,176. Pivot point for trend change at 12,108. RSI in oversold zone, so bears could take profits or expose open positions to the Fed rate hike. |
| BITCOIN -3.86% |
| The market is discounting the 75-basis point interest rate hike by the FED. As a result, the equity market has mostly corrected. Bitcoin is currently down 3.86% and is trading at USD$20,976. However, the fall two weeks ago to the level of USD$17,000, marked an important floor which generated buying volumes, which boosted the price by 25%. Therefore, analysts believe that Bitcoin could generate an interesting rebound from the current point. |

| NATURAL GAS +2.54% |
| The price of natural gas continues to rise. This time it is up 2.54% and is trading at USD$8.77 per BTU. The Russian government announced higher volume cuts to the German company Uniper which is generating more pressure and higher gas prices in Europe and globally. Meanwhile, Russia continues to close natural gas investment agreements with Iran. Analysts expect the commodity to continue to rise due to the supply shock. |
