NYSE:AMC erased any gains made on Tuesday as the meme stock tumbled lower during a volatile session on Wall Street. On Wednesday, shares of AMC fell by 13.94% and closed the trading day at a price of $21.36. Stocks took a backseat on Wednesday as all three major indices closed lower after Target (NYSE:TGT) and Lowe’s (NYSE:LOW) reported mixed retail earnings. On top of that, recent FOMC meeting minutes show that the Fed is still taking a hawkish approach to interest rates despite a slowing of inflation. Overall, the Dow Jones dropped by 171 basis points, the S&P 500 fell by 0.72%, and the NASDAQ posted a 1.25% loss for the session.

Once again, the headlines were dominated by Bed Bath and Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY). The stock extended its improbable run and gained a further 11.77% during Wednesday’s session. It should be noted that as of the time of this writing, shares of BBBY are down by more than 18%. Bed Bath and Beyond rose at the expense of its fellow meme stocks as AMC, GameStoP (NYSE:GME), FuboTV (NYSE:FUBO), and Revlon (NYSE:REV) all dropped lower during trading.

AMC stock forecast

New Constructs analysts are still bearish on meme stocks, despite their recent revival. Analyst David Trainer mentioned that AMC’s problems started long before the pandemic and that GameStop is running out of cash after its recent investments in its NFT Marketplace and digital wallets. Trainer believes there is a good chance both stocks fall to $0 in the long-term.

USD/JPY keeps the red near 158.00 as Japanese Yen firms up

USD/JPY retreats from three-week highs and holds losses near 158.00 in the Asian session on Thursday. Surging Japanese bond yields lift the Yen amid looming intervention risks, while the US Dollar preserves overnight gains to a two-month high amid hawkish Fed bets and elevated US bond yields.

Gold bears tighten their grip as Fed rate hike bets rise

Gold sticks to a negative bias for the second straight day, trading below the $4,300 mark or a one-week low during the first half of the European session as traders await a crucial meeting between US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping. Expectations for a major announcement are low, though market players will look for any progress on rare earths, technology restrictions, and an extension of the current US-China truce.

XRP is flashing three bullish signals heading into a historically weak October

XRP (XRP) is still flashing 3 bullish signals across its holders, derivatives, and ETF data. These signals come as the token gave back part of its September gains on Thursday.

The pullback still leaves XRP up over 15.6% on the week, a gain that tracks a broader market rally.

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks.
