UPDATE: AMC stock lost 8.3% on Tuesday early in the session to trade at $10.63. The Nasdaq is down 3.3% at the same time as fallout from Snap's reduced outlook has hurt a broad swath of the market. This is especially true of growth and risky stocks. The growth-heavy Nasdaq Composite is down 3.3% on Tuesday morning even as the S&P 500 and Dow are down a reduced 2% and 1.2%, respectively. Over 6,000 call contracts expiring this Friday at a $12 strike price have exchange hands this morning. The last price they traded at was $0.27 per share.

NYSE:AMC started the week off with its third straight decline as the movie theater stock has now erased most of its gains from the previous week. On Monday, shares of AMC dropped by a further 3.74% and closed the trading session at $11.58. The broader markets snapped back on Monday after another week of sharp sell offs that saw all three major indices fall for the seventh consecutive week. The Dow Jones jumped by 618 basis points, while the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ rose by 1.86% and 1.58% respectively during the session.

AMC’s running mate, GameStop (NYSE:GME) made a major announcement on Monday as the company continues its digital transformation. The original meme stock company announced that it would be releasing a non-custodial NFT and crypto wallet to be used on the Ethereum layer-2 network called Loopring. The news comes following recent rumors that GameStop is nearing a launch of its NFT marketplace that it is creating with another blockchain company called Immutable X. The Loopring crypto token saw a nice surge following the news but shares of GameStop only had a marginal gain of 0.48% during the session.

AMC stock forecast

It was another relatively slow week at the box offices and to no surprise, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness remained atop the standings for a third straight week. The Disney (NYSE:DIS) and Marvel film has now made over $800 million worldwide. The next big threat to Doctor Strange’s reign? Top Gun: Maverick which launches in the US on May 27th. Needless to say, AMC will need the blockbuster releases to continue if it wants to keep moviegoers in the seats.

EUR/USD remains offered below 1.1600, seems vulnerable near multi-month low

The EUR/USD pair struggles to capitalize on the overnight bounce from the 1.1530 region, or the lowest level since November 2025, and lower for the third consecutive day on Wednesday. Spot prices slide back below the 1.1600 mark during the Asian session and seem vulnerable to slide further.

GBP/USD weakens to near 1.3300 as geopolitical risks bolster US Dollar

The GBP/USD pair attracts some sellers to around 1.3310 during the early European session on Wednesday. Escalating conflict in the Middle East triggers a "flight to safety," supporting the US Dollar against the Pound Sterling. Traders will take more cues from the US ADP Employment and ISM Services Purchasing Managers Index reports, which are due later on Wednesday.

Gold sticks to intraday gains above $5,150; upside seems limited amid bullish USD

Gold preserves its modest intraday gains through the Asian session on Wednesday and currently trades just above the $5,150 level, up around 1.30% for the day. Investors remain concerned about a prolonged conflict in the Middle East and its impact on the global economy amid an already uncertain environment.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple struggle for direction as consolidation persists

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple prices trade with a cautious tone at the time of writing on Wednesday as upside momentum continues to fade across the broader crypto market. BTC remains within a parallel channel, ETH struggles below key resistance, while XRP remains fragile within a descending channel. These top three cryptocurrencies by market capitalization continue to struggle to establish a directional bias amid the consolidation phase.

When rates start driving the bus through a war zone

The volatility regime itself is also changing character. EM carry trades thrive in calm markets. They suffocate in environments that resemble Buckaroo Banzai trading conditions, where headlines move faster than models. That is exactly the world investors are now trying to recalibrate to. Euro rate volatility had been remarkably subdued even while equities were wobbling. That stability is now being questioned, and once volatility leaks into rates it rarely stays contained. Indeed, carry trades love calm seas. War turns the ocean into white water.

Ripple falters amid sell-off jitters and negative funding rates

Ripple (XRP) has come under pressure, drifting lower to $1.35 at the time of writing on Tuesday. The over 2% correction looks poised to erase the previous day’s gains, which lifted the remittance token to $1.42.
