Netflix
Trend
Range $80.50 - $105.50
Netflix Inc. fundamentals have come back into focus following the termination of its Warner Bros. Discovery bid, removing a key overhang and refocusing attention on core growth drivers. The company reported a strong Q1 2026 operating margin of 32.3% and raised its free cash flow outlook to $12.5 billion from $11 billion, supported by operating leverage and a $2.8 billion M&A breakup fee. Revenue growth guidance of 13% at the midpoint is underpinned by a March 2026 US price hike, with the standard plan now at $19.99. With over 325 million subscribers, Netflix is targeting 410 million by 2030, implying steady annual additions of 17 million. Advertisements remain the fastest-growing segment, projected to reach $10 billion by 2030 at 45% CAGR. The newly announced $25 billion buyback program reinforces confidence in long-term cash generation and could lift EPS by around 10%. With expanding margins and multiple monetization levers, Netflix remains a structurally strong growth story.

Switzerland 20 Index
Trend
Range CHF 12,903 -
CHF 13,703
The Switzerland 20 Index is considered a defensive and stable market because it is mainly made up of large companies in sectors like healthcare and staples, which account for nearly 60 % of the index weightage and hence the defensive nature.These sectors usually perform steadily even when the economy is uncertain, as they have strong balance sheets and more predictable earnings. This makes the index less volatile compared to more cyclical markets. On the economic side, the Switzerland KOF Leading Indicator in April came at 97.9 higher than both expectations (95.8) and the previous reading (95.6). This suggests that the Swiss economy could improve over the next six months, which is supportive for equities. From a technical view, the index is trading above its 200 Day simple moving average. The RSI level above 40 shows neutral momentum, leaving room for potential upside.

USDNOK
Trend
Range 9.04 - 9.77
The Norwegian government receives revenues from petroleum activities. Some of these revenues are used to finance a planned central government budget deficit, the non-oil deficit. The remainder is saved in foreign currency in the Government Pension Fund Global (GPFG). In its 2026 budget, the non-oil budget deficit is expected to be at NOK 579 billion. Even assuming a minimum production of 1.8 mbpd (2025 production was 1.92 mbpd) at a price of $95, this would imply revenue of NOK 612 billion and a surplus of NOK 33 billion, causing Norges Bank to sell NOK. During the previous energy surge from 2022 to 2023, daily FX transactions hit NOK 4 billion and posted as a strong marginal headwind against further NOK appreciation. Across the historical oil cycles from cycle lows to highs, out of the 12 instances, NOK has appreciated only 2 times and declined 10 times. The average depreciation against the dollar has been about 19%.

Gold
Trend
Range $4,320 - $4,920
Gold is supported by an ascending trendline drawn from mid-August, 2025. It has previously tested this trendline during late March 2026 and rebounded from there in early April. This validates its importance. Gold’s fundamentals remain bullish: total demand rose 2% y/y to 1,231 tonnes, while value surged 74% to $193 billion, bar-and-coin demand jumped 42% to 474 tonnes (led by China's all-time record of 207 tonnes). Additionally, central bank buying remained strong at 244 tonnes. Poland (31 tonnes) and Uzbekistan (25 tonnes) are aggressively building reserves. The World Gold Council forecasts central bank gold buying of between 700 and 900 tonnes for 2026. Gold-backed ETFs recorded their seventh consecutive quarter of net inflows, adding 62 tonnes in Q1. Asian investment demand remains a growth driver. Technically, the 38.2% Fibonnaci retracement level at $4,600 drawn from the 2nd March high to the 23rd March low is a strong support level, providing backing for further upside.
