Morning Juice – US Session Prep
Morning, Traders!
It is Tuesday the 24th of September, here are some things to look out for today.
Sentiment
US stock index futures rose as China announced a raft of stimulus measures aimed at boosting economic development, increasing investor demand for riskier assets.
Stocks increased, led by sectors vulnerable to China, such as miners, luxury goods manufacturers, and automakers. Brent crude surpassed $75 per barrel, while iron ore prices rose.
US equities futures pointed to gains at the Wall Street open, but Treasuries fell.
China’s comprehensive package of monetary stimulus on Tuesday boosted risk sentiment, including lower reserve requirements for banks and at least 800 billion Yuan ($114 billion) in liquidity support for equities.
