US stock markets overbought after Apple's disappointing numbers and forecast - impact on the Nasdaq expected
After the strong rally, the US stock markets are in the short term more overbought than they have been in two years, especially since Apple has disappointed with its figures and, above all, the forecast for the next quarter. Apple is likely to have a negative impact on the Nasdaq today given its four consecutive quarters of sales weakness.

If financial conditions continue to ease (stocks rise and yields fall), the Fed would be forced to become significantly more hawkish again.
The question also arises as to whether Hezbollah will intervene in the Israel-Hamas war in Lebanon. This could have geopolitical implications for the market and create uncertainty.
