Tuesday, August 31, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow 37.00 0.10% 35,389 S&P 500 2.25 0.06% 4,527 Nasdaq -0.50 0.00% 15,597 U.S. equity futures are again extending gains as the backdrop remains the same, with softer bond yields boosting tech stocks after last night’s record high close, and as investors continue to bet on the prospect of central bank stimulus lasting over the final months of the year. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite added to their record-setting pace of gains on Monday, driven by a rally in information technology stocks, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average lagged behind its equity benchmark peers. The S&P 500 closed up 0.4% at around 4,529, establishing an intraday record high at 4,537.36, while the Nasdaq Composite Index ended 0.9% higher at roughly 15,266, following its own intraday record on Monday at 15,288.08. Growth stocks have led the market Friday and today, after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell recently stressed that the central bank should not overreact to a recent jump in inflation. While the central bank is expected to begin reducing its bond purchases later this year, Fed officials have emphasized that the timing of such a move won’t impact any later decision to raise interest rates from near zero. China’s post-COVID recovery appears to have stalled in August, with an official economic activity reading coming in barely above the 50-point mark that separates growth from contraction. Still overseas markets moved higher. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index jumped 300 points to 28,8089, the Shanghai Index rose 15 points to 3,543 and the Hang Seng Index climbs 339 points (1.33%) to 25,878. In Europe, the German DAX is higher by about 30 points to 15,915, while the FTSE 100 is down about 30-points to 7,120.

Thursday, August 19, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow -275.00 0.79% 34,612 S&P 500 -31.25 0.72% 4,362 Nasdaq -86.50 0.58% 14,763 U.S. futures are looking sharply lower, adding to yesterday’s late day slide and tracking weakness in Europe and Asia as noise gets louder that the central bank could start dialing back on pandemic stimulus programs. Stock markets tumbled late Wednesday, closing at the lows after minutes from the July meeting of the FOMC showed a move to pare $80B per month in Treasuries and $40B per month of mortgage securities could happen this year. While there’s still debate regarding the timing and pace, officials said tapering would not necessarily mean an imminent rate increase. European stocks slumped the most in a month as well following the U.S. move. Other factors hitting stocks include China slowing growth fears as the delta variant continues to disrupt global growth. Those fears aren’t helped by a study from the U.K. that showed coronavirus vaccines are less effective against the delta variant and calls from the Biden Administration for a third booster shot. While the next meeting of the FOMC will occur on September 21-22, Fed Chair Jay Powell is scheduled to speak at Jackson Hole next week. Treasuries bounce with yields slipping as the dollar hits its highest levels in about 4-months. Oil prices are falling for a 6th straight day, with WTI crude down over 3%, dropping to around $63 per barrel for WTI as investors remain worried about the outlook for fuel demand as COVID-19 cases surge worldwide Fed officials continue to call for a “taper” sooner. Yesterday St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said he preferred tapering to end by the first quarter of 2022, with the last three months of next year being a “logical place” for a rate increase. Several other Fed officials, including Robert Kaplan of Dallas and Esther George of Kansas City, have urged the central bank to begin removing stimulus as soon as the September meeting in recent days. Fed Chair Jerome Powell may also provide information in remarks to the central bank’s annual research conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, next week. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index fell -304 points (1.1%) to settle at 27,291, the Shanghai Index fell -19 points to 3,465 and the Hang Seng Index declined -550 points (or 2.1%) to settle at 25,316. In Europe, the German DAX is down over -275 points (1.75%) to 15,685, while the FTSE 100 tumbles -145 points (or over 2%) to trade 7,025.

Thursday, August 12, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow 40.00 0.12% 35,413 S&P 500 2.25 0.05% 4,442 Nasdaq 5.50 0.04% 15,025 Another day, another record high for the Dow and S&P 500 as futures are pointing to a slightly higher open, building on the ongoing upside momentum that pushed the S&P 500 to its 45th all-time high Wednesday. Both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 are coming off all-time bests as consumer prices (CPI) data indicated U.S. inflation was in-line with estimates, raising hopes that growth may have peaked, while sectors tied to economic growth such as industrials, materials and metals advanced a second day on the heels of the passage of a large infrastructure bill. The July consumer price index increased 0.5% last month after climbing 0.9% in June, though on a YoY basis was above 5% again (ahead of today’s PPI data at 8:30 AM ET). Meanwhile, two Fed members (George and Kaplan) each said the central bank should announce its timeline to reduce its massive bondholding, with Kaplan calling for it to begin next month, with tapering to begin in October. Healthcare was also a drag on markets as S&P components MRNA and PFE fell after the drug regulator of the European Union said it was looking into new possible side-effects of mRNA COVID-19 shots. Asian shares dropped for the first time this week as China stepped up scrutiny of its insurance technology platforms while European stocks drift on mixed earnings results. The Nikkei Index slipped -55 points to 28,015, the Shanghai Index slid -7 points to 3,524, and the Hang Seng Index dropped -142 points (0.535) to settle at 26,517.
