Key Points
- Mega-cap tech earnings show mixed reactions, with CapEx spend and future revenue/margin expansion being critical for stock performance.
- Q1 GDP at 2% (subject to revision) and hot PCE data contribute to 'stagflationary light' concerns, leading central banks to maintain a cautious stance.
- Bitcoin's rally is encountering resistance around $80k due to selling pressure from various cost bases, and a lack of new fundamental catalysts is expected until H2 2024.
