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.

Stocks have been pressured of late on concerns that growing inflationary pressures could force the U.S. central bank to rein in its ultra-easy monetary policies. With this in mind, investors will study the minutes of the April Fed meeting, when they are released later Wednesday, for clues of when the central bank could consider cutting back its bond purchases, a move likely to precede increases in interest rates.
