October 23 - According to preliminary data from Counterpoint Research, global PC shipments in the third quarter of 2026 are projected to decline 21% year-over-year to 57 million units, and 13.8% quarter-over-quarter. This is primarily due to persistently high costs for storage and other components, driving up PC prices and putting pressure on market demand. Global PC shipments in the fourth quarter of 2026 are expected to decline 27% year-over-year, with full-year shipments in 2027 projected to be roughly flat compared to 2026. Among them, Lenovo shipped 15 million units in the third quarter of 2026, a year-on-year decrease of 23%, with a market share of 26.3%; HP ranked second with 10.3 million units shipped, a year-on-year decrease of 31%, with a market share of 18.1%; Dell ranked third with 7.6 million units shipped, a year-on-year decrease of 25%, with a market share of 13.3%; Apples shipments decreased by 11% year-on-year to 5.6 million units, with its market share increasing from 8.7% in the same period last year to 9.8%; ASUS shipped 5.2 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 7%.Piper Jaffray: Raises its price target for Nasdaq (NDAQ.O) from $108 to $112.The National Development and Reform Commission has urgently allocated 30 million yuan of central budgetary investment to support post-disaster emergency recovery and reconstruction of infrastructure and public service facilities in the disaster area.October 23 - Economists predict that the European Central Bank (ECB) will raise interest rates for the last time in December after pausing next week. This view differs from market bets that there will be more rate hikes in the future. In a survey, the vast majority of respondents believed that the ECB would raise the deposit rate by 25 basis points to 2.75% at its final meeting in 2026 and maintain that level until May 2028. In contrast, traders expect three more rate hikes in the coming year. Bas van Geffen, an economist at Rabobank, stated, "There are currently no signs that energy inflation is spreading to the broader areas of wages and price setting. The ECB doesnt need to accelerate its rate hike pace; it can wait until December to take action."JPMorgan Chase raised its price target for Procter & Gamble (PG.N) from $162 to $180.

Prior to the release of UK GDP and US PCE Inflation figures, the GBP/USD has found a temporary resting place near 1.1200

Price action for GBP/USD on Friday's Asian session has seen it range between 1.1160 to 1.1555 as buyers prepare for the first weekly advance in three weeks. As a result, the cable pair is benefiting from the general weakness of the US dollar and the ambiguous outlook on the US dollar before to the release of important data from the UK and the US.

 

In a recent interview, UK Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch said that the chancellor and the Bank of England are "working well" together.

 

As a result, the GBP/USD exchange rate is supported by expectations of a robust rate hike cycle from the Bank of England, or "Old Lady."

 

As a counterpoint, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has remained in the red at around 111.90, snapping a two-week uptrend. By this metric, the Fed's recent strong rhetoric and the widespread recession fears in the face of lowering inflation expectations are not justified by the dollar's performance against the six major currencies. Important for dollar traders today is the August Core PCE Price Index, which is expected to be 4.7% YoY, the same as the previous reading.

 

Final readings of the UK's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the second quarter (Q2) are expected to corroborate initial forecasts of -0.1%, making them important to track.

 

If incoming data verifies the projections, the GBP/USD could pare recent gains, which would be appropriate given the optimistic inflation estimates and fears of a UK economic downturn.

 

A significant break above a two-week-old resistance line, now support around 1.1035, is needed to keep GBP/USD investors upbeat, as is a move above the 100-day exponential moving average (EMA) surrounding the 1.1200 level. When the RSI reaches the overbought area, it usually means that further gains will be capped.
