Hi guys, it’s Kieran. Another week is upon us and the markets are open, so lets get into it.
📢 Prop Firm Industry News
Real or not real? Prop Firm influencer Patrick Wieland claims to have made a $12 million promotion deal with MyFundedFutures. This would be the largest affiliate deal in prop firm history. Of course, this should be taken with a grain of salt, however the whole MyFundedFutures leadership team can be seen in the photos, including Founder & CEO Matt Leech.
$12 million dollars a year is the biggest PropFirm deal ever!!!! @MyFundedFutures let’s take over the world @MattLeech

The MyFundedFutures X account replied under the post with the deal emoji, so you never know! The mind boggles at the levels of revenue the major futures firms must be bringing in to pay this kind of money.

🕜 Red Folder News
Here are this week’s red folder news events. A sparse looking calendar this week, however a few big events are happening, with Preliminary US GDP and Unemployment numbers dropping at the same time on Thursday, as well as the PCE Price Index, which is the Fed’s preferred gauge on inflation on Friday.
After J Powell’s signal on Friday that the Fed are ready to cut rates, an overly high PCE number may throw that into doubt.
📈 The Macro View
Stock Market Euphoria is back
A very rocky week for the equity markets, with 3 big red days in a row, however Fed Chair J. Powell stepped in on Friday to ramp the market and deliver a green week.
No new highs yet though, so keep an open mind, because if this breaks lower, it will likely break down fast. Futures are red this morning.
Fear and Greed….Positive but not extreme
Sentiment flirted with Neutral territory mid-week, but ended positive, slightly in Greed. Nothing extreme yet.
Mag 7 v the rest
While earnings of the Magnificent 7 stocks have had an unprecedented run, earnings of the rest, ie the S&P 493 have been more or less stagnant since 2020. In a post-ChatGPT world, the hype is justified, albeit very concentrated in a handful of names.
OK guys that’s everything from me, have a great week!
