Dow Jones Surges On Credit Suisse Deal; First Republic Plunges 20% On Credit Downgrade

Dow Jones Surges On Credit Suisse Deal; First Republic Plunges 20% On Credit Downgrade

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 300 points Monday as UBS (UBS) agreed to buy Credit Suisse (CS) in a bid to restore confidence in the banking system. Meanwhile, First Republic Bank (FRC) plunged 20% on a credit rating downgrade.




X



Over the weekend, Swiss regulators brokered a deal for UBS to buy rival Swiss bank Credit Suisse for 3 billion Swiss francs, or $3.24 billion — a substantial discount to Credit Suisse’s $8 billion market cap on Friday. UBS shares rose 5%, while Credit Suisse American depositary receipts crashed 54% in morning trade.

The SPDR S&P Regional Bank ETF (KRE) rose 4%. First Republic dived 20% after a credit rating downgrade. S&P Global downgraded the bank into junk status, saying the recent $30 billion infusion may not solve its liquidity issues.

But Western Alliance (WAL) jumped 9%, while Keycorp (KEY) was up 3.5%. And among larger banks, U.S. Bancorp (USB) climbed more than 3% after Baird upgraded the stock to outperform, from neutral. The note set a price target at 52 —almost 58% above where shares closed on Friday.

Fed Meeting

The Federal Reserve’s two-day meeting kicks off Tuesday, with views on the probable rate strategy vacillating. As of Monday morning, odds of a quarter-point Fed rate hike Wednesday were at 62%.

However, the banking crisis may have have upended the Fed’s plan to keep interest rates higher for longer. Instead of more future rate hikes, Wall Street now sees the Fed shifting to rate cuts starting by July, if not sooner. By the end of the year, markets expect the federal funds rate to fall below 4%.

Foot Locker (FL) and Pinduoduo (PDD) were earnings movers Monday morning.

FL stock gained 10% in morning trade after its report. Pinduoduo shares tumbled 15% on weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter revenue.

Stock Market Today

Electric-vehicle leader Tesla (TSLA) traded 1.5% higher Monday morning. Also, Dow Jones tech giants Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) were lower after today’s stock market open.

Chip leader Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), IBD SwingTrader member Meta Platforms (META) and IBD Leaderboard listing Palo Alto Networks (PANW) — as well as Dow Jones issues Nike (NKE) and Salesforce (CRM) — are among the top stocks to watch in the ongoing market correction.

Palo Alto is an IBD Leaderboard watchlist stock. AMD featured in Wednesday’s IBD Screen Of The Day. And Nike was featured in last week’s Stocks Near A Buy Zone column. Meta is an IBD SwingTrader stock.

Dow Jones Today: Oil Prices, Treasury Yields

After Monday’s opening bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1%, and the S&P 500 gained 0.5%. The Nasdaq composite, which does not track financials, traded down 0.2% in morning action.

Among U.S. exchange-traded funds, the Nasdaq 100 tracker Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) fell 0.3% and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) moved up 0.1% early Monday.

The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield dived to 3.39% Friday, ending with big weekly loss as investors packed into the safe-haven bond market amid the ongoing banking crisis. On Monday, the 10-year Treasury yield rose to 3.44% in early trade, near its lowest levels since September 2022.

U.S. oil prices continued lower following last week’s 13% dive. West Texas Intermediate traded below $66 a barrel early Monday, down 1.5%, its lowest level since September 2021.

Stock Market Correction

On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average sold off 1.2% and the S&P 500 lost 1.1%. The Nasdaq composite declined 0.7%.

Friday’s Big Picture column commented, “The stock market ended the week on the ropes amid a painful bear attack on quadruple-witching day. Next week will be key in finding out whether indexes can fight back — or get clobbered to the canvas.”

Now is an important time to read IBD’s The Big Picture column amid the ongoing stock market correction.


Five Dow Jones Stocks To Buy And Watch Now


Dow Jones Stocks To Watch: Nike, Salesforce

Since bottoming on Oct. 3, Nike shares have rallied as much as 59% to their recent high at 131.31. Now the stock is consolidating within a flat base that offers a 131.41 buy point, according to IBD MarketSmith pattern recognition. NKE stock moved up 0.4% early Monday.

Following recent declines, the stock remains below its 50-day moving average, a key benchmark. A decisive retake would be bullish for the base-building prospects, carving the right side of the pattern. The relative strength line is also holding up well during the rapidly developing stock market correction.

In recent weeks, Dow Jones leader Salesforce showed big upside strength after strong fourth-quarter results. The stock above a 178.94 cup-with-handle entry after last week’s big gains. Still, the market is in a correction, so investors should avoid new purchases until the market environment improves. CRM stock lost 0.5% early Monday.


3 Top Growth Stocks To Watch In The Stock Market Correction


Top Stocks To Watch: AMD, Meta, Palo Alto

Advanced Micro Devices broke out past an 89.04 buy point in a flat base last week and has a solid 10% cushion above the entry. The 5% buy range that topped out at 93.49. AMD featured in Wednesday’s IBD Screen Of The Day column. AMD stock fell 1.4% Monday morning.

Backstory: In early February, the chipmaker reported stronger-than-expected data center chip sales in the fourth quarter. But AMD tempered that news with a soft outlook for the current period.

Facebook-parent Meta Platforms gave up a flat base’s 197.26 buy point during Friday’s 4.55% decline. Still, last week’s breakout attempt was a sign of strength with the general market’s weakness. Meta shares were up 1.8% Monday morning.

Backstory: Like social media rivals, Meta is struggling due to a sharp reduction in advertising revenue as clients squirm over macroeconomic concerns, recession fears and higher interest rates. This is happening as it spends billions of dollars on a risky bet to build the “metaverse,” a virtual reality world that has yet to take hold.

IBD Leaderboard stock Palo Alto Networks is trading just short of a cup-with-handle’s 192.94 buy point after Friday’s 0.3% drop. PANW stock traded down 1% Monday.

Backstory: On Feb. 21, the cybersecurity giant announced good results for the January-ended quarter that saw earnings hit $1.05 a share, up 81% vs. a year earlier, on a 26% jump in revenue to $1.7 billion.
