"Subdued Sessions?"
David Auerbach
December 23, 2024
Good Morning!
Futures mixed at the time of this writing as talking heads recover from a crazy week last week and assess futures outlook for potential economic growth, inflation, and interest rate cuts in 2025. A busy economic calendar on tap today as well.
From Bloomberg
"American equity futures were steady in subdued trading as traders assessed the outlook for economic growth and interest rates. The dollar advanced after a US government shutdown was averted.
Contracts on the Nasdaq 100 added 0.4% and those on the S&P 500 were little changed following solid gains on Wall Street on Friday after the so-called core personal consumption expenditures price index increased at the slowest pace since May. Europe’s stock benchmark edged higher.
Investors are taking a step back after a stream of robust US economic data saw the Federal Reserve scale back the number of cuts it anticipates in 2025. The PCE data reignited hopes of deeper rate cuts, though overall sentiment remains cautious as investors brace for the prospect of sweeping global tariffs imposed by US President-elect Donald Trump, and as China continues to see a lackluster economic recovery.
“There are still hopes that the US stock markets in particular will end 2024 with a positive undertone,” Dana Malas, a strategist at SEB, wrote in a note. “After two explosive weeks of central banking and news, to say the least, it is time for the market to recharge batteries and update forecast models for the world that begins on January 20 with Donald Trump in the White House.”"
