Morning Juice – US Session Prep

Morning, Traders!
It is Thursday the 9th of May, here are some things to look out for.

Sentiment
US equity futures pointed to a decline on Wall Street as May’s early gains faded. Treasury yields increased.
Contracts for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 both fell 0.2%.
Ten-year Treasuries fell for the second day in a row after a $42 billion sale of 10-year notes met with muted demand.

The recent stock rally is fading as the earnings season winds down, leaving investors to wait for new data to determine how quickly policymakers will be able to begin cutting interest rates.
The pound fell against all of its Group of 10 counterparts after the Bank of England drew closer to lowering interest rates from a 16-year high, with two of the nine committee members voting for lower borrowing costs.
