Futures in the green at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on new highs in the S&P 500 with macro headlines constantly swirling as earnings season continues on and other topics such as oil, gold, treasuries and economic calendar get attention.
From Bloomberg
" US stocks held at record highs amid strong demand for technology shares as investors looked for progress toward a longer-term peace deal in the Middle East.
S&P 500 futures were little changed after the benchmark closed above the 7,000 mark for the first time. Nasdaq 100 contracts advanced as much as 0.5% before trimming the move. The early hours of the session saw a rally in technology stocks after Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s upbeat revenue outlook highlighted the resilience of AI chip demand.
Brent rose toward $96 a barrel as movements through the Strait of Hormuz remained all but paralyzed. Bonds rose, led by gains in Europe where central bank policymakers signaled they’re in no rush to raise interest rates. The dollar snapped an eight-day losing streak while gold rose above $4,800 an ounce.
Stock markets have rebounded as signs of easing tensions in the Middle East, combined with a fresh burst of AI optimism and corporate earnings, pushed investors to abandon their cautious views. Still, delegates at the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings in Washington have cautioned that markets are underestimating the war’s economic damage.
In the latest developments in the conflict, Pakistan stepped up efforts to help the US and Iran prolong a ceasefire that’s set to expire next week."
