"Skip or Cut?"
David Auerbach
December 03, 2024
Good Morning!
Futures somewhat positive at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on today’s JOLTS Jobs report along with other economic data coming due later this week and anothe Fed meeting in a couple of weeks.
From Bloomberg
"US equity futures pointed to a muted open on Wall Street as traders awaited a busy line-up of Federal Reserve speakers and data releases for clues on the path for interest rates.
Contracts for the S&P 500 were flat after the index notched its 54th closing high of the year on Monday. Treasuries and the dollar slipped, while the euro recovered from some of the previous day’s losses, caused partly by the turmoil around France’s budget.
The headline events for investors include Friday’s payrolls report, which is expected to show hiring bounced back in November, as well as Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s scheduled participation in a moderated discussion on Wednesday. Swaps are pricing a more than 70% chance of a quarter-point rate reduction by the US central bank at its Dec. 17-18 meeting.
“The market still expects the Fed will cut rates,” Mark Haefele, chief investment officer at UBS Global Wealth Management, said on Bloomberg Television. “We will see when the employment data comes through on Friday how brave you have to be. But I think the bias is still there and the market thinks there is still room to do that, given the overall picture.”"
