Good Morning!

Futures deep in the red across the board at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on softening outlook for further interest rate cuts along with a potential government shutdown.

From Bloomberg

  • "US stocks were set to deepen losses as traders grappled with an increasingly softening outlook for interest-rate cuts and the threat of an American government shutdown.

  • The S&P 500 was heading for its biggest weekly drop since at least September as futures tied to the benchmark dipped 0.9%. Nasdaq 100 contracts fell 1.4%, with technology stalwarts such as Tesla Inc. and Nvidia Corp. giving way in early trading. Europe’s Stoxx 600 weakened 1.7% as Novo Nordisk A/S fell by the most on record on the back of disappointing data from a treatment trial.

  • Stock market volatility has spiked in recent days as a hawkish pivot by the Federal Reserve made traders question whether this year’s tech-fueled rally could extend further in a higher rates environment, despite a resilient US economy.

  • Friday’s personal consumption expenditures data for November, the Fed’s preferred measure of underlying inflation, will offer further clues on 2025’s rate path. For now, the swaps market is implying between one and two quarter-point reductions for next year, a decrease from a month ago when two cuts were fully priced."
