By Jamie McGeever ORLANDO, Fla. (Reuters) -What many people saw as an open goal for the Federal Reserve chair on Wednesday, it seems Jerome Powell saw as a potential own goal. Nearly everyone expected him to use his eagerly awaited speech on the economic outlook and the labor market at the Brookings Institution think tank to push back on the significant easing of U.S. financial conditions in recent weeks. Looser financial conditions - higher equities, lower dollar and bond yields, tighter credit spreads - make it harder for the Fed to succeed in its fight to cool the economy and get inflation back down towards target. According to Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS)'s financial conditions index (FCI), they have loosened over the last two months despite two 75-basis points rate hikes and promises from Fed officials - including Powell - of more tightening to come. They have loosened significantly since Wall Street's cycle low in mid-October, and since the Fed's Nov. 2 policy meeting, leading most observers to think Powell would lean against markets on Wednesday, at least a bit. But he refused to do so and investors were caught miles offside: the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both recorded their second biggest rises in over two years, adding 3.1% and 4.4%, respectively. According to Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), the relief rally that engulfed risk assets produced the second-largest year-to-date easing in U.S. financial conditions, worth 30 basis points. Goldman's FCI fell 21 bps to its lowest since Sept. 12, overwhelmingly led by the move in equities. By this measure, financial conditions now are easier than they were before the Fed's September and November rate hikes. But in truth, what everyone assumed was the right thing for Powell to do on Wednesday - steer the market in the opposite direction - was probably not the right thing to do, and the Fed chief may have played it just right. The lagged effects of this year's 425 bps of rate hikes have still to play out in the economy and the "pain" that Powell has previously warned is coming will be felt next year. Several measures of inflation suggest price pressures have peaked and are now steadily declining. If all that is true, there may be less need to focus so heavily on financial conditions, and a more balanced monetary policy now is sensible. "This is a tacit change in messaging. We can take this as some degree of evidence that the Fed is willing to accept the easing of financial conditions in the past several weeks," said Yung-Yu Ma, chief investment strategist at BMO Wealth Management. BLACKOUT PERIOD Economic and labor market data this week suggest the Fed's most aggressive rate-hiking cycle in four decades is starting to bite. The Chicago purchasing managers index, a measure of factory activity in the Midwest, and the national ISM manufacturing index both slumped in November to levels typically associated with recession. Meanwhile, private sector job growth across the country last month was far weaker than expected too. If these indicators are useful guides to broader trends in the coming months, the Fed is right to be cautious. Powell said on Wednesday that the Fed has already been "pretty aggressive" and does not want to "crash the economy and clean up afterward." To be clear, the Fed isn't completely turning its back on financial conditions. In his Q&A on Wednesday Powell repeated his view that a better barometer for policymakers is the extent to which real rates are positive. By this measure, financial conditions have tightened considerably in recent months. Inflation-adjusted Treasury yields hit their highest in over a decade last month, rebounding sharply from historically negative levels earlier this year. That said, the Fed chair knows the power of his words. He probably didn't anticipate such an outsized reaction, but he would have been well aware that investors were positioned for him to push back against the recent market rally and substantial easing of financial conditions. Economists at Piper Sandler argue that Powell did not say anything new, and note that markets usually rally after his public communications. If the Fed decides it does want to push back against the market's interpretation of his latest comments, it might have to wait. "The December FOMC blackout period starts on Saturday, so realistically the next opportunity for the Fed to correct market perception, again if needed, is the FOMC statement and press conference on Dec. 14," they wrote in a note on Thursday.

**IN PREPARAZIONE ALLA DECISIONE DELLA FED** Mercoledì 2 novembre il FOMC pubblicherà l'ultima decisione sui tassi di interesse negli Stati Uniti. Ecco alcune opinioni su cosa aspettarsi: **Wells Fargo** Prevediamo che il FOMC annuncerà un aumento di 75 punti base dell'intervallo obiettivo per il tasso dei fondi federali. Questa mossa è ampiamente prevista dagli economisti e dagli operatori di mercato e sarebbe una grande sorpresa se il comitato si discostasse dai 75 punti base. Se si realizzasse, questa mossa segnerebbe il quarto aumento consecutivo dei tassi di 75 punti base e il ritmo più rapido di inasprimento della politica monetaria dall'inizio degli anni Ottanta. A nostro avviso, l'aspetto più importante della riunione del FOMC di novembre sarà il modo in cui la dichiarazione post riunione e la conferenza stampa inquadreranno le considerazioni politiche future. Ci aspettiamo che il presidente Powell ribadisca che il contenimento dell'inflazione rimane la massima priorità del FOMC e che quest'ultimo "continuerà a farlo finché il lavoro non sarà finito". Negli ultimi tre mesi, l'inflazione core CPI ha registrato un ritmo annualizzato del 6%, ben al di sopra dell'obiettivo di inflazione del 2% fissato dalla Fed. **Bank of America** Anche se siamo cauti nel leggere troppo nella narrativa sul perno della Fed, con i dati sull'inflazione e sul lavoro che rimangono troppo forti, un prematuro cambiamento di rotta della Fed suggerirebbe probabilmente una compressione dei volumi frontali e sosterrebbe i BE. "Per quanto riguarda i breakeven, il difficile contesto della domanda verso la fine dell'anno potrebbe portare a un crollo dell'illiquidità, causando un ulteriore ribasso dei rendimenti reali". **BMO** Il nostro bias per un'inversione più profonda della curva 2s/10s rimane intatto, poiché è improbabile che la Fed adotti la narrativa del rallentamento globale con la stessa rapidità del mercato. **ING** Le aspettative del mercato sono decisamente a favore di un quarto rialzo consecutivo dei tassi d'interesse di 75 pb da parte della Federal Reserve la prossima settimana. Il punto chiave è se la Fed aprirà la porta a un ritmo più lento in seguito o se l'attenzione dei falchi sull'inflazione core segnalerà un quinto rialzo di 75 pb a dicembre. Una minuscola minoranza di analisti prevede un rialzo di 50 pb, un'opinione che ha avuto un certo seguito dopo i recenti commenti di un paio di colombe del comitato sui rischi percepiti di un eccessivo irrigidimento della politica e di una recessione inutilmente profonda. Tuttavia, l'opinione generale è che si tratti più che altro di una notizia riguardante l'entità dei rialzi dei tassi nelle riunioni successive. Tuttavia, ha certamente smorzato le voci di un aumento dei tassi di 100 pb. Nessun analista prevede un tale risultato sulla base delle risposte ai sondaggi di consenso, a differenza di quanto avvenuto nelle ultime riunioni. **Citi** È ancora troppo presto dal punto di vista del rischio/rendimento" per gli steepeners 2s10s, che storicamente hanno ottenuto i migliori risultati quando sono entrati al momento dell'ultimo rialzo dei tassi della Fed. Una pausa completa da parte della Fed non è fattibile almeno fino a febbraio, e potrebbe essere una sfida se i NFP rimarranno forti. **Barclays** Manteniamo la nostra visione di un tasso terminale più elevato, ma raccomandiamo di spostare la view di breve da SFRH3 a SFRM3. La solidità dei dati statunitensi ci impedisce di estrapolare una riduzione del ritmo dei rialzi da un tasso terminale più basso. Con i rendimenti decennali già 90 punti base al di sotto del picco del tasso terminale, "in assenza di una recessione significativa all'orizzonte, è probabile che rimangano in una fascia di oscillazione e che aumentino, se il tasso terminale dovesse essere segnato al rialzo". --JPMorgan - Dr. David Kelly** Ci aspettiamo, come il mercato dei futures, che la Fed aumenti i tassi dei federal funds di 75 punti base. Tuttavia, l'attenzione del mercato si concentrerà sul modo in cui caratterizzerà l'attuale situazione economica e fornirà indicazioni sulle mosse future. La dichiarazione di settembre non ha fatto alcun riferimento ad un allentamento delle pressioni inflazionistiche. Tuttavia, con i prezzi dell'energia ben al di sotto dei loro picchi, i prezzi globali delle materie prime alimentari in calo e i problemi della catena di approvvigionamento globale in diminuzione, probabilmente si sentiranno costretti a riconoscere un certo miglioramento, pur sottolineando che l'inflazione rimane troppo alta. Questo, di per sé, potrebbe essere visto come un atteggiamento leggermente meno da falco. **Morgan Stanley** Il calo della seconda derivata dei dati economici darà alla Fed la possibilità di abbandonare il ritmo di rialzo dei tassi di 75 pb che abbiamo visto nelle ultime tre riunioni del FOMC (ed è probabile che lo faccia a dicembre). **Comunicato precedente** Dopo il comunicato del 21 settembre 2022, in cui la Federal Reserve ha aumentato i tassi di interesse di 75 pb per la terza volta consecutiva, il dollaro si è rafforzato e il rendimento del decennale è AUMENTAO, mentre l'S&P500 e l'oro sono scesi.

By Alun John LONDON (Reuters) - The dollar edged up on Thursday, extending its gains from the previous day as investors looked ahead to U.S. labour and inflation data for any softness that could signal slowing U.S. rate hikes and weaken the greenback after months of strength. The euro EUR=EBS> was down 0.27% to $0.9859, falling a little after the release of European Central Bank minutes from last month's meeting that showed policymakers were worried that inflation could get stuck at exceptionally high levels. Sterling was down 0.6%, while the dollar was steady versus the Japanese yen and Swiss franc. Currency markets have struggled to find a clear direction this week, following a dramatic third quarter. The dollar initially slid against most majors, before regaining ground. "Sentiment was very downbeat in late Q3, couldn’t go anywhere but up, and did go up in early Q4, triggered by the Bank of England intervening (in British government bond markets)," said Stephen Gallo European head of FX strategy at BMO capital markets. "That's where we are now. We don’t really have fundamentally good reasons to be buying sterling, euro or yen aggressively but we all know the dollar is expensive and maybe the Fed is wrong, and it is going to have to pivot." The dollar index was 0.3% higher, down from a 20-year peak of 114.78 hit in late September A major factor driving currency markets currently is changing expectations of how aggressively central banks' - particularly the Federal Reserve - will raise interest rates. A key question is whether they will pivot from primarily worrying about inflation, and hence raising rates aggressively, to also considering slowing economic growth, leading to more cautious rate hikes. This means U.S. jobs data due on Friday and inflation figures next week will be closely watched. "Investors will be looking (in Friday's payrolls report) for signs of anything that might cause the Fed to do an early pivot, everything they say suggests they have no intention of doing so, but I suspect there are people out putting these pivot trades on," said Gallo. U.S benchmark treasury yields whose gains on Wednesday had helped drive the greenback higher, were steady on Thursday. [US/] The Australian dollar was down 0.5% at $0.6455, still struggling after an unexpectedly modest 25 basis point hike in Australia. Also a factor in markets was the Saudi Arabia-led cartel of oil producers having agreed to steep production cuts on Wednesday, lifting Brent crude futures to a three-week high of $93.99 a barrel. [O/R] That helped the Norwegian crown and Canadian dollar outperform most peers, while hurting currencies like the euro and pound. "Higher energy prices would have a much more direct impact on the European region given the more direct relationship to their finances," said NatWest Markets' strategist Jan Nevruzi.

**La Banca del Canada si prepara alla decisione sui tassi** Mercoledì 7 settembre la Bank of Canada pubblicherà la sua decisione sui tassi e la dichiarazione sui tassi; ecco alcune opinioni su cosa aspettarsi: BMO Douglas Porter, capo economista della BMO, in una relazione agli investitori. "La BoC probabilmente non sarebbe contenta di vedere il mercato immobiliare stabilizzarsi e persino rianimarsi a breve". "Qualsiasi segnale di una sorprendente tenuta del settore economico più sensibile ai tassi di interesse sarà un chiaro segnale che potrebbe essere necessario un inasprimento maggiore del previsto". La previsione provvisoria del capo economista Douglas Porter è arrivata dopo che le vendite di case a Toronto sono rimbalzate dell'11% ad agosto rispetto al mese precedente. Mentre i prezzi di riferimento continuano a scendere, il balzo dell'attività potrebbe essere un segno che lo scivolamento del mercato si sta attenuando, anche in presenza di un aumento dei tassi di interesse e di prospettive economiche incerte. "La nostra previsione ufficiale è di un rialzo di 75 punti base la prossima settimana e di un punto finale del 3,50%, ma con chiari rischi di rialzo". Banca di Montreal La Banca del Canada potrebbe aver bisogno di portare i tassi di interesse oltre il 4%, in parte perché il mercato immobiliare sta "mostrando un guizzo di vita". Wells Fargo Dopo un aumento dei tassi di 100 punti base a luglio, ci aspettiamo che la Banca centrale canadese aumenti i tassi di 75 punti base al 3,25% nella riunione di settembre. Riteniamo che la BoC rallenterà il ritmo dei suoi rialzi oltre settembre, portando il tasso di policy al 3,75% solo entro la fine del quarto trimestre del 2022, anche se riteniamo che i rischi rimangano inclinati verso un picco più alto. Saremo particolarmente interessati alle indicazioni sulla politica futura della BoC, soprattutto in un contesto di rallentamento della crescita e di inflazione ancora elevata. Citigroup Prevede un aumento di 75 punti base al 3,25%. JPMorgan Prevede un aumento di 50 punti base al 3%. Comunicato precedente In occasione della precedente decisione sui tassi della Banca del Canada, il 13 luglio alle 10:00 ET, la Banca del Canada ha sorpreso con un aumento di 100 BPS al 2,5% dall'1,5%, quando le aspettative mediane degli analisti prevedevano un aumento di 75 BPS al 2,25%. Ciò ha causato un rafforzamento complessivo del CAD. Nella precedente dichiarazione sui tassi, rilasciata anch'essa alle 10 del mattino del 13 luglio, la Bank of Canada ha dichiarato che: "L'inflazione in Canada è più alta e più persistente di quanto la Banca si aspettasse nel suo rapporto di politica monetaria (MPR) di aprile, e probabilmente rimarrà intorno all'8% nei prossimi mesi". "Mentre i fattori globali, come la guerra in Ucraina e le continue interruzioni delle forniture, sono stati i principali fattori trainanti, le pressioni sui prezzi interni dovute all'eccesso di domanda stanno diventando più importanti". "Più della metà delle componenti che compongono l'IPC sta aumentando di oltre il 5%. Con questo ampliamento delle pressioni sui prezzi, le misure dell'inflazione di fondo della Banca sono salite tra il 3,9% e il 5,4%".

By Lucia Mutikani WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. monthly consumer prices increased by the most in 16-1/2 years in March as Russia's war against Ukraine boosted the cost of gasoline to record highs, cementing the case for a 50 basis points interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve next month. The surge in prices reported by the Labor Department on Tuesday culminated in annual inflation rising at its fastest pace since the end of 1981. But there were some glimmers of hope, with monthly underlying price pressures rising moderately as motor vehicle prices cooled. Economists also believe overall inflation has peaked. "The Fed will take a tiny bit of comfort from today's report, but it still has much work to do to restore price stability," said Sal Guatieri, a senior economist at BMO Capital Markets in Toronto. The consumer price index accelerated 1.2% last month, the biggest monthly gain since September 2005. The CPI advanced 0.8% in February. An 18.3% surge in gasoline prices accounted for more than half the increase in the CPI. Gasoline prices at the pump on average soared to an all-time high of $4.33 per gallon in March, according to AAA. Russia is the world's second-largest crude oil exporter. The United States has banned imports of Russian oil, liquefied natural gas and coal as part of a range of sanctions against Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine. In addition to pushing up gasoline prices, the Russia-Ukraine war, now in its second month, has led to a global surge in food prices as Russia and Ukraine also are major exporters of commodities like wheat and sunflower oil. Outside gasoline, the increase in inflation was across the board. Food prices increased 1.0%, with the cost of food consumed at home soaring 1.5% amid strong gains across all categories. But the cost of food consumed away from home moderated as a 0.7% rise in full service meals was partially offset by a 0.2% drop in limited service meals, the first decrease since October 2018. In the 12 months through March, the CPI accelerated 8.5%. That was the largest year-on-year gain since December 1981 and followed a 7.9% jump in February. It was the sixth straight month of annual CPI readings north of 6%. Last month's increase in inflation was in line with economists' expectations. The strong CPI readings followed on the heels of news last month that the unemployment rate fell to a new two-year low of 3.6% in March. The tight labor market is fueling wage inflation. The U.S. central bank in March raised its policy interest rate by 25 basis points, the first hike in more than three years. Minutes of the policy meeting published last Wednesday appeared to set the stage for big rate increases down the road. High inflation and the Fed's hawkish posture have left the bond market fearing a U.S. recession, though most economists expect the expansion will continue. U.S. stocks opened higher. The dollar was steady against a basket of currencies. U.S. Treasury yields fell. MONTHLY CORE CPI SLOWS Economists believe March could mark the peak in the annual CPI rate, but caution that inflation would remain well above the Fed's 2% target at least through 2023. Gasoline prices have retreated from record highs, but still remain above $4 per gallon. Last year's high inflation readings will also start falling from the CPI calculation. "March may prove to be the peak for year-over-year inflation measures for this cycle," said Ben Ayers, senior economist at Nationwide in Columbus, Ohio. "Still, given the high starting point and the likelihood of further delays to the healing of supply chains, inflation readings should remain highly elevated through 2022 and into 2023." A second straight monthly decline in prices of used cars and trucks resulted in a tame monthly reading for underlying inflation. New motor vehicle prices also moderated. Excluding the volatile food and energy components, the CPI rose 0.3% after gaining 0.5% in February. A 0.5% increase in shelter costs accounted for nearly two-thirds of the rise in the so-called core CPI. A key measure of rents, owners' equivalent rent of primary residence, advanced 0.4%. The cost of hotel and motel accommodation also increased strongly. Airline fares soared 10.7%. Household furnishings also cost more and did motor vehicle insurance, apparel, recreation and personal care. The cost of healthcare rose 0.5%, with both doctor visits and hospital services increasing solidly. But prescription medication prices fell 0.2%. The core CPI climbed 6.5% in the 12 months through March, the largest rise since August 1982, after increasing 6.4% in February. Lockdowns in China to contain a resurgence in COVID-19 infections are seen putting more strain on global supply chains, which could keep goods prices elevated. Separately, rising rents for housing are also expected to keep core inflation hot.

By Lucia Mutikani WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. economy notched its strongest growth in nearly four decades in 2021 after the government injected trillions of dollars in COVID-19 relief, and is seen soldiering on this year despite headwinds from the pandemic, strained supply chains as well as high inflation. The Commerce Department's report on Thursday showed the economy accelerating in the fourth quarter as businesses replenished depleted inventories to meet strong demand for goods. Last year's robust growth supports the Federal Reserve's pivot towards raising interest rates in March. Fed Chair Jerome Powell told reporters on Wednesday after a two-day policy meeting that "the economy no longer needs sustained high levels of monetary policy support," and that "it will soon be appropriate to raise" rates. The sharp rebound in growth last year could offer some cheer for President Joe Biden whose popularity is falling amid a stalled domestic economic agenda after the U.S. Congress failed to pass his signature $1.75 trillion Build Back Better legislation. It, however, could diminish prospects of more money from the government. The government pumped nearly $6 trillion in pandemic relief. "While Omicron will lead to weaker growth in the first quarter, activity is expected to rebound nicely once the latest pandemic wave abates and supply-chain glitches ease," said Sal Guatieri, a senior economist at BMO Capital Markets in Toronto. "The Fed will need to be 'humble and nimble' as it navigates underlying economic strength, worsening labor shortages, and stubbornly high inflation." The economy grew 5.7% in 2021, the strongest since 1984. It contracted 3.4% in 2020, the biggest drop in 74 years. The stunning reversal came as gross domestic product increased at a 6.9% annualized rate in the fourth quarter. That followed a 2.3% growth pace in the third quarter. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast GDP growth rising at a 5.5% rate last quarter. Estimates ranged from as low as a 3.4% rate to as high as a 7.0% pace. The momentum, however, appears to have faded by December amid an onslaught of COVID-19 infections, fueled by the Omicron variant, which contributed to undercutting spending as well as disrupting activity at factories and services businesses. Inventory investment increased at a $173.5 billion rate, contributing 4.90 percentage points to GDP growth, the most since the third quarter of 2020. Businesses had been drawing down inventories since the first quarter of 2021. Spending shifted during the pandemic to goods from services, a demand boom that pressured supply chains. Excluding inventories, GDP grew at a moderate 1.9% rate. JOBLESS CLAIMS FALL Growth last quarter was also lifted by a jump in consumer spending in October before retreating considerably as Omicron spread across the country. Consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of economic activity, grew at a 3.3% rate after rising at a 2.0% pace in the third quarter. It has been hampered by shortages of motor vehicles and other goods. A global chip shortage is hurting production. Reduced household purchasing power, with inflation way above the Fed's 2% target, also hindered consumer spending at the tail end of the fourth quarter. Support to GDP growth last quarter also came from business spending on equipment, which rebounded after being held back in the July-September period by shortages of trucks. Trade made no contribution after being a drag on GDP growth for five straight quarters, while investment in homebuilding contracted for a third consecutive quarter. The sector is being constrained by expensive building materials, which has resulted in a record backlog of homes yet to be built. There are, however, signs that the impact from the Omicron-driven outbreak in infections is easing. A separate report from the Labor Department on Thursday showed initial claims for jobless benefits dropped 30,000 to a seasonally adjusted 260,000 during the week ended Jan. 22. Claims shot up to a three-month high in early January. Unadjusted claims tumbled 73,357 to 267,573 last week. There were sharp declines in Illinois, Kentucky, Texas, New Jersey, New York as well as Pennsylvania. The labor market is viewed as being at or close to maximum employment. Employers are desperate for workers, with 10.6 million job openings at the end of November. Though the economy appears to have hit a soft patch in the first quarter because of challenges from the never-ending pandemic, the worst inflation in decades, supply chain bottlenecks and upcoming interest rate increases, a pickup is anticipated by the second quarter. Growth estimates for the year are as high as 3.9%. "We see the economy continuing to grow above its natural speed limit through this year amid still-solid demand, a need to replenish severely depleted inventory levels and manufacturers' obligation to meet record levels of backlogged orders," said Sam Bullard, a senior economist at Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Tuesday, September 28, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow -120.00 0.37% 34,614 S&P 500 -36.25 0.81% 4,397 Nasdaq -232.50 1.53% 14,962 U.S. stock futures are sharply lower, extending losses in tech as Treasury yields keep climbing (10-year hit 1.55% overnight), hitting growth stocks while the debt ceiling showdown in Washington D.C. intensifies with markets awaiting news on the House vote Thursday on the $1T bipartisan infrastructure bill, as Democrats work to build a consensus on the $3.5T reconciliation bill. If the two sides can’t agree on the bill that Democrats recently attached to the federal debt ceiling limit, the country could see a partial gov’t shutdown by Friday. Politico reported that Democrats are hinting they could be willing to drop the debt ceiling from their government funding package this week in order to avoid a government shutdown. The 10-year Treasury yield is up more than 4 basis points to 1.53% after topping 1.55% earlier while the 5-year is setting new records for the year and is up 2 bps to 1.02%. There will be an auction of $62B in 7-year notes this afternoon. The move higher is coming as concerns about inflation rise, especially in commodities as oil is up again, with WTI futures above $76 per barrel and Brent futures topping $80. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index fell -56 points to 30,183, the Shanghai Index gained 19 points to 3,602 and the Hang Seng Index climbed 291 points to 24,500. In Europe, the German DAX is down -180 points (1.15%) to drops below 15,400, while the FTSE 100 slides -30 points to 7.025. The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced on Monday with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq falling amid rising Treasury yields (up a 5th straight day) raising concerns for growth stocks while global oil price reached its highest level since October 2018. Brent crude gains 2.1% to $78.81, sending the energy sector soaring and WTI crude topped $75 per barrel, also best levels in about 3-years. Durable goods orders posted their biggest increase since May, rising 1.8% for August and handily beating economists. Notably, small-capitalization stocks advanced sharply on the session, aided by a gain in energy shares which themselves were helped by a rally in crude-oil prices. U.S. natural gas futures soared 11% to a seven-year high as record global gas prices kept demand for U.S. liquefied natural gas ($LNG) exports strong. On its second to last day as the front-month, gas futures for October delivery rose 56.6 cents, or 11.0%, to settle at $5.706 per million British thermal units (highest close since February 2014).

Monday, September 27, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow 91.00 0.26% 34,765 S&P 500 1.25 0.03% 4,447 Nasdaq -48.50 0.32% 15,270 U.S. stock futures are looking higher, led by the energy complex after WTI crude tops $75 for the first time since July and Brent crude hitting 3-year highs following a massive stock market recovery late last week as fears about China Evergrande Group ‘s debt crisis issues waned and investors bet on further economic reopening from the pandemic. Despite the Chinese property developer missing a bond coupon payment, the S&P 500 still finished the week up 0.5% (though U.S. listed China stocks fell sharply on the week). Last week, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the U.S. economy has recovered sufficiently for the central bank to potentially announce the start of bond-purchase tapering at its next meeting, which failed to dent investor optimism, even as Treasury yields and the dollar rallied as the FOMC pushed up its timeline for interest rate hikes. In Asian markets, The Shanghai Composite Index slipped 0.8%, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index edged up 0.1%. The Nikkei Index was down slightly at 30,240, the Shanghai Index dipped -30 points to 3,583 and the Hang Seng Index edged higher 16 points to 24,208. In Europe, the German DAX rises following election results, up around 100-points (0.6%) at 15,625, while the FTSE 100 is up slightly above 7,060. Oil futures rise with WTI crude oil futures topping $75 a barrel for the first time since July, amid an escalating energy crunch across Europe and now China. Energy is the clear premarket leader among the S&P sectors, most of which are higher. Materials and Info Tech are slightly lower. Treasury yields are moving to their best levels since late June, with the benchmark 10-year yield above 1.49% and the 30-year topping 2%, extending last week gains which saw the largest one-week yield gain since June 25, as it rose nearly 8 basis points. The 10-year was yielding 1.495%, up from 1.454%. Markets await data on new U.S. orders for durable goods in August at 8:30 AM ET.

The data could set the tone for the rest of the day as the 10-year Treasury yield is up 1.5 bps to 1.339% ahead of the data, while the dollar index is down slightly around 92.60. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index rose 222 points to 30,670, the Shanghai Index dropped -52 points (1.42%) to settle at 3,662 and the Hang Seng Index declined -311 points (1.21%) to 25,502.
