FCX 1D, 5D, and 21D post-earnings return
A relatively less risky strategy is to analyze the correlation between short- and medium-term post-earnings returns, identify the strongest pair, and trade accordingly. For instance, if 1D and 5D returns correlate most strongly, a trader could go 'long' for five days following a positive 1D return. The table below shows correlation data over five-year and three-year periods, with 1D_5D indicating the correlation between one-day returns and subsequent five-day returns.

Global week ahead: Trade tensions cloud earnings and the G20 heads south

Earnings season always seems to roll around with alarming frequency. The newsroom approaches each quarter with a nervous energy, but this summer it feels especially heightened. Recent market records in both the U.S. and Europe, alongside an unpredictable economic environment, paint a complicated picture for the second half. It all kicks off on Tuesday with America's banking behemoths, as attention switches from the White House back to Wall Street. But U.S. President Donald Trump's policies still loom large, with Goldman Sachs predicting that, this quarter, U.S. earnings will start to show the impact of the tariffs. The investment bank's economists see "conflicting messages on the margin outlook" as companies have only announced modest price increases, despite the cost hikes associated with higher tariffs. Earnings-per-share growth is also set to come under pressure, with Goldman suggesting, "the consensus estimate among analysts sees S&P 500 companies' earnings-per-share growth decelerating to 4% this quarter relative to the same quarter last year — down from 12% in the first quarter." With the banks set to dominate next week — JPMorgan, Citi, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America are all reporting within just two days — maybe Europe can provide some optimism. As reported by CNBC's Jenni Reid, European banks just recorded their best first half since 1997. Gains were driven by strong investment banking returns — something their U.S. counterparts are also likely to capitalize on — as well as stock rallies based on both deal speculation and actual M&A. As someone who grew up in Cape Town, seeing this year's G20 meetings take place in South Africa makes me pine for the sunshine of the Southern hemisphere. Next week's meeting in Durban between finance ministers and central bank governors comes at an interesting time for the country. An Oval Office meeting between South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and Trump went spectacularly wrong back in May, when the latter, flanked by his South African (now former) right-hand man Elon Musk, made false claims of a "white genocide." It seems tensions have not abated. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will skip the meeting altogether, opting to head to Japan instead, according to Reuters. South Africa is also subject to a new 30% tariff rate, the only country in sub-Saharan Africa to be singled out in the latest round of announcements. It does not bode well for the G20 Leaders meeting, due to be held in Gauteng on Nov. 22-23. It remains to be seen if Trump will attend. In May, South Africa's golfing greats — who traveled to the White House with Ramaphosa — failed to win over Trump. But maybe the lure of some of the best courses in the world, along with a South African summer, could see a seasonal change in his mood toward the country later this year.

Humphrey Yang Reveals How He Would Invest $1,000 If He Had To Start All Over

Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Financial guru Humphrey Yang has been answering people's personal finance questions for several years, and he recently entertained what he would do if he had to start all over again with $1,000. Yang's insights aren't specific to him. They can help people who aren't sure how to get started with investing and give them ideas of how they can use their money. "You want individual companies that will still be around in 40 years," Yang mentioned in the video. He elaborated on how he would divvy up the $1,000 and offered valuable lessons along the way. Don't Miss: Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die." Here's , starting today. $100k+ in investable assets? – no cost, no obligation. Yang starts by saying that he would put $400 into an S&P 500 ETF. That comes to 40% of his $1,000. He specifically mentions the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSE:VOO) and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY), but any fund that tracks the S&P 500 will produce nearly identical results. It's typically the largest holding in any of Yang's starter portfolios, and it's roughly doubled over the past five years. The S&P 500 contains the 500 largest publicly traded U.S. corporations, and it places a strong emphasis on the Magnificent Seven stocks. Each stock in the fund must be profitable, and the index regularly cycles out of bad stocks and replaces them with better ones. S&P 500 ETFs are also known for their low expense ratios since they don't require active management. For instance, VOO has a 0.03% expense ratio and SPY has a 0.09% expense ratio. Low expense ratios let you keep almost all of the profits you generate from your shares. Trending: The secret weapon in billionaire investor portfolios that you almost certainly don't own yet. Yang then suggests putting $200 into the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ), which tracks growth stocks that are primarily in the tech sector. You can also get the Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF (NASDAQ:QQQM), which is the same exact fund, but with a lower expense ratio. The fund has more than doubled over the past five years. It has a stronger concentration in tech stocks and the Magnificent Seven stocks than the S&P 500. QQQ regularly outperforms VOO and SPY during bullish market cycles, but it is more vulnerable to corrections. Younger investors who have lengthy time horizons can benefit more from growth and tech ETFs like QQQ. However, if you are just getting started, you may want less volatility in your portfolio. That may be why Yang suggests putting more money into VOO or SPY than you have those two ETFs, Yang suggests finding three individual stocks and putting $100 into each pick. These stocks give you the opportunity to outperform a benchmark like the S&P 500 or the Nasdaq Composite. Yang suggests narrowing the search to companies that will likely be around 40 years later. It's better to make some money than to make a high-risk investment that falls to zero. If you're just getting started, it is easier to make that type of mistake with an asset that you don't know very well. That accounts for $900 of the $1,000. Yang suggests putting the remaining $100 into a high-yield savings account. That way, your money will collect risk-free interest. It offers a safety net as your stocks and ETFs compound in the background.
