Google and YouTube owner, Alphabet reported both earnings and revenues that were lower than analysts had expected.

The $7 billion revenue from YouTube in the quarter was lower than the $7.4 billion expected, and highlighted the advertising pressure currently facing companies.

 

Alphabet shares drop

Alphabet, which owns the Google business, saw its shares fall 5.1% in extended trading after it missed analyst expectations on both the top and bottom lines, hit by a fall in income from advertisers who are cutting costs.

Total growth of 6% marked the weakest period of expansion since 2013, other than one period during the pandemic.

These are the numbers: earnings per share of six cents over the dollar level. We had been looking at $1.28. So that was a big negative for the company. Revenue also came in shy of the estimates of $71.3 billion. We got just over $69 billion for Alphabet.

And look what damage that did to shares yesterday, not too far away from the recent lows we saw back on the 13th of October - all the way down at $95.07, closing at 9794 on the trading day yesterday.

YouTube, Google Cloud

YouTube advertising revenue was $7 billion. We'd been looking for $7.4 billion expected. So that's short, and this just highlights the problems that consumers are having. And Youtube uses a lot of advertising now as we all know when using Youtube channels unless you pay for the service you do get a lot of adverts in your face.

Google Cloud revenue came in at $6.9 billion. We had been looking for $6.69 billion. That's a touch better than expected and acquisition costs were on the way down.

But the net effect of all this was a drop at the close of yesterday's session, all-sessions on the IG platform, down 5.1% as at the close last night.

    • EUR/USD and GBP/USD pause their ascents while USD/JPY continues to rise Outlook on EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY as the greenback appreciates on news that the US mid-size banking sector will soon be more tightly regulated. Source: Bloomberg   Forex United States dollar Japanese yen USD/JPY EUR/USD GBP/USD  Axel Rudolph FSTA | Senior Financial Analyst, London | Publication date: Friday 31 March 2023  EUR/USD’s advance stalls below current March high at $1.0929 EUR/USD’s rise from last week’s $1.0714 low faltered slightly below the current March high at $1.0929 as final German consumer price index (CPI) data slightly overshot expectations while Spanish inflation came in much lower than anticipated. EUR/USD is likely to find support along the two-week uptrend line at $1.0855, ahead of the $1.0804 to $1.0801 mid-February and Monday’s highs. While the latter level holds, overall upside pressure should be maintained with a rise towards the $1.1033 February peak remaining on the cards. For now, resistance at last and this week’s highs at $1.0926 to $1.0929 caps, though. Minor support below Monday’s $1.0801 high can be seen at the mid-March high at $1.076, ahead of the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at $1.0742. Source: IT-Finance.com GBP/USD runs out of steam below key resistance at $1.2446 to $1.2448 GBP/USD has nearly reached its December and January highs at $1.2446 to $1.2448 as the UK narrowly avoids a recession with its final quarter four (Q4) gross domestic product (GDP) coming in stronger than expected at 0.1%. A minor retracement back towards last week’s high at $1.2343 and perhaps the one-month steep uptrend line at $1.2325 may ensue while the $1.2446 to $1.2448 resistance zone caps. Provide that no bearish reversal takes the currency pair to below Thursday’s low at $1.2294 on a daily chart closing basis, the recent uptrend remains intact. A rise above the December and January highs at $1.2446 to $1.2448 could lead to the May 2022 peak at $1.2667 being back on the map. Source: IT-Finance.com USD/JPY recovery slows down but still remains in play USD/JPY’s recovery from last week’s ¥129.65 low amid an appreciating US dollar as the US government asked the country’s financial regulator to tighten up recently relaxed legislation in regards to mid-sized banks and undertake more rigorous stress testing, has taken it to above the 55-day SMA at ¥132.53. The next potential upside target can be spotted at the 24 February low at ¥134.06 with only a rise above the next higher ¥135.11 mid-March high meaning that the 2023 uptrend has indeed resumed. Unless such an advance occurs, the odds favour another down leg being made which could take the cross to below its 10 February and March lows at ¥129.81 to ¥129.65. Support below the 55-day SMA at ¥132.54 can be found at the 27 March high at ¥131.77. Source: IT-Finance.com
    • Gold and coffee prices steady, while oil prices edge lower Gold and coffee have managed to hold on to most of their recent gains, while oil is down slightly after a strong run higher from the March lows. Source: Bloomberg  Chris Beauchamp | Chief Market Analyst, London | Publication date: Friday 31 March 2023  Gold clings on near recent highs The price continues to see plenty of volatility, but remains near recent highs. Consolidation has been the pattern over the past two weeks, with no desire yet to move above $2000, but with buyers remaining in control and preventing any significant downside for the time being. Overall it looks like this will resolve into a fresh move higher towards $2050, and it would need a move back below $1900 to put a more serious dent in the bullish view. Source: ProRealTime WTI returns to $74 Crude prices continue to surge, with WTI now closing in on the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) again. The impressive bounce from the March lows shows no sign of stopping yet, though the downtrend of the past seven months is still intact. Any turn lower from below $80 would still constitute a lower high and leave the overall bearish view intact. This would then suggest a fresh move to $65 is a possibility, as the downtrend reasserts itself. Source: ProRealTime Coffee back to February highs After rallying from the March lows the price looks to be preparing to push above the February highs. Above 2200, the price will then target the August highs around 2280/2300, having traded in a wide range from 2030 to 2200 since the beginning of the year. Source: ProRealTime
