Yesterday on the markets Stock prices in the US rose sharply; with the S&P 500 performing at its best in nearly four months as investors rushed to buy stocks that had been hit by a sharp sell-off the day before. The S&P 500 gained 1.5% and almost offset the 1.6% fall on Monday. The Dow and Nasdaq rose 1.6%. 10 of the 11 sectors of the S&P 500 index rose, led by the industrial (+ 2.8%) and financial sectors (+ 2.5%). The consumer goods sector was an outsider and showed zero dynamics yesterday. Recovery-sensitive small-cap stocks outperformed their larger peers on Tuesday. Russell 2000 is up 3%. Travel stocks were among the best for the day, indicating that many investors have revisited their concerns about the risks posed by the spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus. American Airlines rose 8.4% and Norwegian Cruise Line rose 8.3%.

  Based on research by Bridgewater Associates . Supply chain problems and rising inflation persist. For investors, inflation is a big risk. Markets view inflation as a temporary phenomenon: " ...inflation will return to central bank targets. Regulators will be able to use loose monetary policy for a long time. " Bridgewater Associates researchers disagree. "Newspaper headlines focus on local supply-side problems (the port in Los Angeles, coal in China, natural gas in Europe, semiconductors around the world, truck drivers in the UK, etc.) and miss a global cause for which there is not yet specific solution. ...current inflation and rising prices are not a pandemic-related supply problem. The supply of virtually everything has reached record levels. The reason is an upward demand shock due to the direct issuance of money to buyers of goods and services. Some inflation drivers are temporary, but the underlying supply/demand imbalance is worsening." Researchers note a s

Ownership of the "original" JPEG called "Everydays: The First 5000 Days" was secured in the form of a non-fungible token (NFT). In 2021, investors invested $27 billion in this market . Meta will allow users to create and sell NFTs. There is only one problem: the NFT market will eventually collapse for any of a variety of reasons . NFT is a special trading code attached to the image. A secure network of computers registers the sale on a digital ledger (blockchain). The buyer receives proof of authenticity and ownership.

Image
  Jonathan Eng, director of a California-based company that manages assets worth about $47 billion expressed this opinion. Rolls-Royce's largest investor, the American investment company Causeway Capital Management, has called for the renewal of the board of directors of the British company, emerging from the worst recessions in the airline's history industry. The Financial Times reported this on Monday. That was the opinion of Jonathan Ang, director of a California-based company that manages approximately $47 billion in assets. “I really think [Rolls-Royce's] board needs fresh thinking. The company is facing some challenges,” Ang told the British business publication. According to him, the current council is "good for what it was," but now is the time to revise its structure. "I will ask [Anita Frew] if we have the right people right now to ask questions when unpleasant situations arise because they will arise," he said. Frew is the first woman to serve
