Amazon shares go up with the market waiting for the results after closing

• Amazon shares rise 3% before the first quarter profit report.
• The goal gains Platforms and Microsoft published on Wednesday have influenced investors to expect a good result.
• Beijing and the Trump administration are beginning to work in a commercial agreement.
• AMZN’s actions will move according to the management’s perspectives for the second quarter.

Amazon (AMZN) It is going up Thursday in the hours before the CEO Andy Jassy delivers the profit results of the first quarter. At the time of writing, AMZN has accumulated a 3% gain while the United States stock market (USA) ignores the bad economic news to rejoice with Wednesday’s reports from Wednesday Microsoft (MSFT)which rose 9%, and Meta Platforms (Meta)which rose 5%.

Two different economic data were related to the weakening of the American panorama, which many attribute to the Trump administration’s tariff policy. First, the initial unemployment subsidy applications of the previous week reached 241,000, a remarkable increase compared to 223,000 of the previous week. Secondly, the manufacturing PMI of the April ISM stood at 48.7, below March 49, demonstrating that the US industry continues to contract.

However, the stock market is more optimistic about trade agreements. Chinese media reported in the last 24 hours that the Trump administration contacted Beijing to initiate commercial conversations, which occurs after Chinese government officials began to exempt certain pieces of semiconductors, pharmaceutical products and ethane from its 125% tariff on US products. A British newspaper reported that the United States has started trade negotiations with Japan and the European Union.

Prior to Amazon profits

Amazon Gener $ 1.36 in earnings per share (BPA) on revenues of 155.12 billion dollars is expected. President Donald Trump’s tariffs accelerated largely after the end of the quarter, so the market awaits little effect there. But the perspective of the address on tariffs in the second quarter is what analysts will seek to understand.

The news about the fall in half of the load ships between China and the west coast of the US in recent weeks have forced investors to deal with the possibility of a great imminent setback in sales. Rumors have emerged that third -party vendors are withdrawing from the Annual Day Day of Amazon, which will take place on July 16 and 17 of this year.

Evercore Isi published a note for customers at the beginning of the week that argued that Amazon will have to prioritize margins or market share, but cannot do both.

Jassy and his team are probably focused on the new expansion strategy of their delivery service in Rural areas of the US on Wednesday, Amazon said it will spend 4,000 million dollars to expand its internal delivery operations to more small towns, which will allow it to comply with 1,000 million additional packages deliveries annually. This is necessary since its association with United Parcel Service (UPS) is failing, since the latter decided to leave the low margin agreement.

Amazon actions prognosis

Amazon’s actions are positioned to greatly benefit from a successful quarter to overcome expectations. Although the “increase” part of that phrase is less likely due to the tariff situation, mobile socks are in close proximity. The simple mobile average (SMA) of 50 days and its 200 -day counterpart are close enough in $ 193 and $ 199, respectively.

This means that any rebound could foster a technical event that pushes investors towards a self -fulfilling prophecy. A closure above the 200 -day mobile average on Friday at the regular session could lead to the bulls to wait for a solid advance to test the previous resistance around $ 220.

If Jassy fails to impress, then another movement is expected to support at $ 176.92 and $ 166.32.
