Futures Reverse Overnight Gains As Amazon Euphoria Fizzles We warned last night that the surge in futures following the huge bounce in Amazon stock wouldn''t last (simply because a closer read of the company''s earnings left a lot to be desired) and sure enough, in the overnight (extremely illiquid) session, 500 futures erased gains of as much as 1.3% to trade 0.1% lower, or 10 points, to 4,460 as European stocks extend their decline as inflation and monetary tightening outweighed earnings optimism.

Amazon Explodes 18% Higher On Solid Earnings, AWS Beat, Prime Price Increase With the bulk of the FAAMG stocks - which is now GAMMA following Facebook''s rebranding to Meta - having reported Q4 results (some great, like GOOLG and MSFT, some, like Facebook, terrible), investors were keenly looking to Amazon earnings, where the biggest question for Amazon is how sustainable are the growth trends that boosted its performance during the pandemic. The Internet giant was one of the biggest beneficiaries of shifts in consumer and business behavior last year while continuing to grab market share in cloud. As Bloomberg notes, 2022 is a critical year for new Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, who is facing a declining stock price, slowing e-commerce growth, rising costs, and labor concerns in New York and Alabama. He’s also facing inflation, new consumer technology rivals and third-party product delays in the early days of his first full year as the company’s top executive. Many analysts are expecting a price hike to Amazon Prime given inflation.

By a 20-2 vote, the committee pushed along the Open App Markets Act, with only Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., in opposition.

Both bills, which go to the full Senate, are intended to help developers led by advocates such as Epic Games Inc., Spotify Technology , and Match Group Inc. .

"Downside Risks Here Are Material" - ''Mega'' Positioning & ''Gamma Flip'' Points Loom AMZN''s earnings after the bell today appear to be the last, best hope for rebound-betting-bulls as the index-level impact of the FB debacle is very significant for the broad Equities recovery which was being led higher by said Nasdaq Mega-Cap Tech again above-all in recent days Nomura''s Charlie McElligott notes that the FB mess also hurts the immediate extension of the recent power bounce in Equities in a second-order fashion too , because at the US Equities cash close - and before numbers were released - a number of key Global Equities futures had traded just within striking-distance of CTA buy triggers (specifically for NKY, Eurostoxx, SPX and Russell 2k per the Nomura QIS model) as a potential next upside flow catalyst for the Equities in the day(s) ahead.

Retail Investors Are Flooding In To Buy Meta''s Face-plant Dip Years of BTFD instinct don''t go away just like that, and with Facebook plunging the 26%, its biggest drop ever, and also the biggest loss of market cap by any company in US history - putting it in context FB has lost more value today than the market cap of 455 S&P500 members - and after its opening collapse, the retail crew has arrived and according to Fidelity, thousands of retail investors are buying the dip this morning. According to Fidelity , FB was by far the most traded among individual investors using Fidelitys platform, with volumes more than five times that of Tesla, the second-most traded stock according to Bloomberg.

The flood of retail buying is hardly as surprise, and it represents a continuation of the relentless, if somewhat more subdued, purchases by ordinary investors.
