Morning Juice – US Session Prep
Morning, Traders!
It is Thursday the 11th of July, the day of the much anticipated US inflation report.
Here are some things to look out for today.
Sentiment
US equity-index futures remained steady on Thursday as traders waited for inflation data to confirm that bets on Federal Reserve interest rate cuts are justified.
Contracts on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 were little changed after the underlying gauges both rose more than 1% to new all-time highs, boosted by Nvidia and Apple.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell told Congress on Wednesday that the central bank does not need inflation to fall below 2% before cutting interest rates, and that the labour market has cooled “pretty significantly.”
