Morning, Traders!
It is Thursday the 18th of July, here are some things to look out for today.
Sentiment
US tech stocks were expected to recover some of this week’s losses, boosted by upbeat earnings from the world’s largest chipmaker and the prospect of encouraging results from other major players in the sector.

Yesterday, the Nasdaq 100 had its worst day since 2022, as investors worried about tighter US restrictions on companies that supply China with advanced semiconductor technology.
