NYSE:AMC saw a tentative start to the day but managed to finish stronger, although the stock still underperformed the broader markets on Wednesday. Shares of AMC gained 1.15% and closed the trading day at $18.53. Despite intensifying attacks in Ukraine, the US markets rallied from a bearish start to March. The Dow Jones jumped higher even as oil prices continued to spike and 10-year treasury yields surged. The blue-chip index gained 596 basis points, while the NASDAQ and S&P 500 gained 1.62% and 1.86% respectively during the session. The market rally lifted otherwise struggling meme stocks like GameStop (NYSE:GME) which added 2.48% and Digital World Acquisition Corp (NASDAQ:DWAC) which edged higher by 0.05%.

AMC is fresh off of its best quarterly report in more than two years, but investors seemed less than enthused following the call. The stock traded mostly flat during after hours trading on Tuesday, and had a slow start to Wednesday’s session as well. While the earnings beat is a positive sign from the company, this is likely the market’s way of saying that the stock is still overvalued at its current price.

AMC stock forecast

The new ticket pricing that AMC is implementing for the upcoming ‘the Batman’ release is intriguing for potential long-term revenues. The company is planning to charge more for tickets to premiere showings of new releases. Currently, at some locations tickets for ‘the Batman’ are priced at $1.00 more than other movies. While this is a novel concept in the US, it has been something that the company has implemented at its European locations for quite some time now. Given how movies like Spider Man: No Way Home and Uncharted have done, the extra ticket sales could really help AMC’s bottom line.

AUD/USD stuck as the RBA talks tough into a slowdown

The Australian Dollar is going nowhere in a hurry, and the contradiction at its core explains why. The Reserve Bank of Australia keeps dangling the prospect of another hike, yet the economy it governs just expanded 0.3% in the first quarter, a clear step down from the prior pace. A central bank threatening to tighten into a visible slowdown is not a recipe for conviction in either direction, and the tape shows it.

USD/JPY: Japanese Yen coiled at the line, leaning on everyone but Japan

The Yen is doing very little, and that stasis is the whole story. USD/JPY sits glued near 160.00 not because Japan has found new strength, but because two outside forces are fighting to a draw over it: a US rate complex that keeps the dollar bid, and a Ministry of Finance that refuses to let the line break.

Gold declines below $4,500 on stalled US-Iran ceasefire talks, US NFP data looms

Bitcoin falls below $64K as demand turns negative, short-term holders' selling intensifies

Bitcoin has fallen below $64,000 on Thursday amid weakening market demand and mounting selling pressure from short-term holders.

Recession on paper: What really moves the Canadian Loonie now?

Statistics Canada handed the headline writers a gift and the analysts a headache. Real GDP shrank 0.1% on an annualized basis in the first quarter, and with the fourth quarter of 2025 revised down to a 1.0% contraction, that is two negative quarters in a row, the textbook definition of a technical recession and Canada's first since the pandemic.
