NYSE: AMC shares couldn’t hold on to early session gains on Monday, even as the broader markets rebounded from Friday’s sell off. Shares of AMC fell by 2.10% and closed the first trading session of the week at $36.84. Like it’s meme stock running mate GameStop (NYSE: GME), AMC had a rough week last week, as shares plunged by over 11%. It was more of the same on Monday, despite the broader markets rallying. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ both surged by 1.32% and 1.88% respectively, while the Dow Jones added back 236 basis points after having its worst session of 2021 on Friday.

The buzz around AMC this morning was an announcement regarding tickets for the upcoming Sony Pictures film Spiderman: No Way Home. Evidently, Sony will be giving away 86,000 NFTs to specific members who pre-order tickets for the film. One of these groups includes AMC Investor Connect, which is a way in which AMC is rewarding its shareholders with exclusive giveaways and offers. The highly anticipated Marvel movie has already crashed several pre-order ticket sites since tickets have been on sale, ahead of its theatrical debut on December 16th.

AMC stock forecast

It was another strong weekend at the box office this week, despite ongoing fears of the Omicron variant making its way stateside. Fueling this surge in ticket sales was the debuts of the House of Gucci and the newest animated film from Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS), Encanto. The holidays are a popular time of year to attend at the cinema, particularly this year where COVID-19 delayed many Hollywood blockbusters until the fall and winter.

AUD/USD flirts with 0.7000, lowest since early August amid bullish USD

AUD/USD hits a fresh low since early August during the Asian session on Friday and looks vulnerable near 0.7000 after breaking below the 200-day SMA overnight. Against the backdrop of the hawkish Fed, a two-day rally in oil prices revives inflation fears and continues to push US bond yields to multi-year highs. Adding to this, geopolitical risks lift the US Dollar to a two-month high, overshadowing RBA rate hike bets and weighing on the pair.

USD/JPY pulls back from three-week high after failing near 159.00

USD/JPY edges lower during the Asian session on Friday, stalling its recent strong move to a three-week high of 159.00 as Japanese Yen bears turn cautious amid intervention fears. Meanwhile, the US Dollar retains a strong bullish undertone as the Fed's hawkish outlook and oil-driven inflation fears continue to push US bond yields to multi-year peaks. Furthermore, the BoJ's dovish rate hike last week might cap JPY and support spot prices.

Gold treads water below $4,300

Gold grabs some buying attention and advances marginally at the end of the week, partially retracing the weekly decline, although it is still navigating below the key $4,300 mark per troy ounce. The fresh selling bias on the Greenback and the modest decline in US Treasury yields appear to support the humble advance in the precious metal.
