Coca-Cola ready to pop higher? [Video]

Giles Coghlan LLB, Lth, MA Financial Source

Coca-Cola is a well-known blue chip US stock that can tend towards gains during recessions. As a consumer staple, the thinking goes that most western consumers can still afford a soft drink even though times are tighter. So how will Coca-Cola do this year?

From a seasonal perspective, the company has a great seasonal bias. The company has gained 20 times in the last 25 years between March 13 and June 4. The average return has been 6.16% and the maximum gain has been over 20%. Is this now the time to consider buying into Coca-Cola as this strong seasonal pattern approaches?

Major trade risks: The major trade risk here is that there is some negative news for Coca-Cola.

USD/JPY rises back above 158.00 in the early European morning on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, geopolitical uncertainty and elevated US bond yields keep the US Dollar near its YTD high despite receding October Fed hike bets. This, in turn, helps the pair stay supported.

Gold trades with modest gains; still below $4,200

Japanese Yen nears 158.00: Two analysts agree it's bullish, and disagree on how far the breakout goes

The JPY is drifting near 158.00 against the USD ahead of a busy week of Japanese data and a still-unclear BoJ timetable. The two most recent FXStreet analyses agree on the direction, but they disagree on the target and the mechanism.

Eurozone inflation just hit 3.8%, its highest in three years. This chart shows why the ECB can’t simply hike its way out

The ECB would normally have a relatively straightforward answer to inflation running almost twice its target: raise interest rates. But these are not normal circumstances. This time, the bond market is already doing part of the tightening for it, leaving the ECB facing an increasingly difficult dilemma.
