How the stock market rally is feeding on itself
Robin Wigglesworth - FT
The emergence of brash retail traders who think stocks only go up has been one easy explanation for the surprisingly strong market recovery since March. Some analysts, however, argue the rebound has more to do with the same technical factors that exacerbated the initial bear market â the rise of volatility-sensitive investors and the increasing influence of derivatives on financial markets. "Positioning played a huge role in the extent of the sell-off, and has been a big part of the rally as well," said Bankim Chadha, chief global strategist at Deutsche Bank.

Put Options Signal India's Nifty Index Forming Support at 10,000
Abhishek Vishnoi - Bloomberg
India equity option traders are confident that the 10,000 level can act as a key support for the NSE Nifty 50 Index. Put options with a 10,000 strike price now hold the highest outstanding bets among the index option contracts, compared with options at a 9,000 level holding that milestone until Friday, according to data from NSE. The Nifty Index this month rose past the 10,000 level for the first time since March. The measure has gained more than 35% from a low in March, tracking a rally in global equities, even as the South Asian nation faces its first economic contraction in four decades in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

The decline of the U.S. dollar could happen at 'warp speed' in the era of coronavirus, warns prominent economist Stephen Roach
Mark DeCambre - MarketWatch
Stephen Roach, a Yale University senior fellow and former Morgan Stanley Asia chairman, tells MarketWatch that his forecast for a sharp deterioration of the U.S. dollar could be a very near-term phenomenon, not an event that looms off in the distance. "I do think it's something that happens sooner rather than later," the economist told MarketWatch during a Monday-afternoon interview. His comments come as the financial expert has been warning for weeks of an epic downturn of the buck that could signal the end of the hegemony of the greenback as a reserve currency â an event that would ripple through global financial markets.

Steven M. Sears - Barron's
Tesla is so firmly ensconced in the popular imagination that it's easy to forget that it's just another companyâand that, occasionally, it might be useful to apply prosaic financial analysis to the stock. The exercise is important because it helps illuminate issues that are typically overshadowed by the star power of founder Elon Musk and a future full of sleek electric cars.
