The session on Wall Street opens on a positive note following the accumulation of key macroeconomic data. The compilation of the latest PMI and CPI readings creates a mixed, yet still optimistic picture for the markets regarding the economic situation in the United States. This is sufficient to push the main indices towards new historical levels right at the start of trading. US100 contracts are up by approximately 0.8%, US500 is up by 0.6%. Contracts on the Russel2000 index are performing better, rising by 1.3%.
Today's session remains under the influence of macroeconomic readings. Consumer inflation turned out to be lower than expected, which strengthens the narrative of the Federal Reserve's progress in combating price pressure and increases the likelihood of faster and potentially deeper monetary policy easing.
At the same time, a very good PMI signals a solid condition of the economy, which may prompt the Fed to adopt a more cautious schedule for rate cuts, especially if economic activity maintains its pace without further deterioration in the labor market.
An additional piece of the puzzle is the University of Michigan consumer sentiment reading, noticeably weaker than forecasts, but still above the neutral threshold of fifty points, which can be interpreted as sustained, albeit cautious, optimism among households.
In such an environment, investors will closely monitor bond yields, the dollar, and sector rotation, as these indicators may point the market towards the final conclusion from today's data.
