Morning Juice – US Session Prep
Good Morning Traders.
It is Wednesday the 25th of September. Here is what to look out for today.
Sentiment
US stock futures fell as the S&P 500 set a new closing high for the 41st time this year.
Treasuries and the Dollar remained stable.
Traders are looking for new catalysts after the Fed’s half-point interest-rate decrease last week boosted risk appetite and put the Dollar on course to reverse its gains this year.
China’s latest policy changes on Wednesday haven’t spread beyond Asian markets, as investors doubt whether the steps will be sufficient to stabilize the country’s faltering economy.
