Friday, August 13, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow 50.00 0.14% 35,452 S&P 500 3.25 0.07% 4,457 Nasdaq 3.50 0.02% 15,081 Following a third straight record close for the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average, futures are again looking to push higher, building on the continued upward momentum. Volumes were very light on Thursday and market breadth was negative, but that didn’t stop major averages from climbing all day despite another rise in producer prices (PPI inflation data) as the S&P 500 recorded its 47th record close this year (on track to beat its record of 62 record highs registered in 2017). Volume on U.S. exchanges was just 8.38 billion shares, making it one of the slowest trading days of the year. The average for the full session over the last 20 trading days is around 9.5 billion shares. It’s also now been 323 calendar days since the S&P 500 last ended, on a closing basis, a decline of 5% or more from a record high (according to Reuters). In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index slid -37 points to dip back below the 28,000 level, the Shanghai Index dipped -8 points to 3,516 and the Hang Seng Index dropped -126 points to 26,391. In Europe, the German DAX is higher by 75 points to move above the 16,000 level, while the FTSE 100 is up over 25 points to 7,220. After a consolidation day, crypto assets are surging again this morning, on track for weekly highs for Bitcoin around $46,500, Ethereum up over $3,250 and Bitcoin cash ($BCH) up 5% around $640.

Early Look Friday, May 21, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow 130.00 0.38% 34,158 S&P 500 13.25 0.32% 4,167 Nasdaq 33.00 0.24% 13,519 U.S. stocks are looking higher to end the week, adding to yesterday’s massive gains that saw major averages snap their 3-day losing streak, led by technology shares as Treasury yields remained subdued and on increased economic optimism after Americans filing for first-time unemployment benefits fell last week to a pandemic low of 444,000. It was another “buy the dip” reaction for major averages as the S&P avoided its longest losing streak since February with yesterday’s advance. Oil prices are looking higher, trying to snap its 3-day losing streak, while gold is little changed after a strong week of gains. Inflation fears still linger for markets as pricing fears remain as the economy improves, keeping gains in check for now. The U.S. Treasury, meanwhile, proposed a minimum global corporate tax rate of 15%, lower than earlier proposals of 21% that received pushback from other countries. Crypto currencies are steady after three days of extreme volatility. Yesterday’s big Nasdaq gains (1.77%) gave it a chance to avoid its fifth straight weekly decline heading into the trading week, which would be its longest in nine years (is up 0.8% heading into today). In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index rose 219 points to 28,317, the Shanghai Index slipped -20 points to 3,486, the Hang Seng Index edged higher 8 points to 28,458. In Europe, the German DAX is up about 25 points to 15,394, while the FTSE 100 is little changed at 7,015.
