A strong performance on the American markets overnight is likely to push the #ASX up in response, with #ASXFutures indicating a 0.61% or 47-point gain in early trading. The S&P500 and Dow Jones hit record highs overnight, with the S&P500 jumping 46.1 points or 0.89% to 5,224.6 points and the Dow adding a whopping 400 points or 1.03% to hit a fresh ceiling. The Nasdaq also had a very strong performance, gaining 1.25% or 202.6 points to 16,369.4. The Bank of England (BoE) has yet to commit to any rate cuts this year, although the market is expecting three. Inflation over the pond has been sticky but fell more than expected over the month of February, giving the market plenty of optimism that relief will come soon.

The stage is set for a strong opening on the #ASX this morning, with futures pointing to a 0.3% increase early this morning. There was a mixed picture on Wall Street overnight, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average notching a new record, up 0.3% to 38,797 points, while the S&P 500 slipped marginally by 0.1% to 5,022 points and the Nasdaq slumped 0.3% to 15,943 points. The varied sentiment in the US speaks to the market's watch-and-wait attitude ahead of significant US inflation updates. In recent weeks, investor speculation about potential rate cuts from the Federal Reserve has invigorated US markets, despite the mixed signals sent by inflation figures. The likelihood of a Fed rate cut in March has decreased to 15.5%, with expectations for May also cooling to 61%, as per the CME's FedWatch Tool, which highlights the enduring strength of the US economy.

Market Closing Summary for Last Week: The week wrapped up strongly for equities, with notable gains across the major indices. The S&P 500 climbed 4.02%, the Nasdaq 100 surged 5.89%, and the Russell 2000 rose 4.21%. This robust performance was fueled by expectations of a soft landing for the economy, which acted as a catalyst for buying activity. The preliminary September University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment survey bolstered this positive sentiment, highlighting improvements in year-ahead expectations for both personal finances and the broader economy. In anticipation of the Federal Reserve's potential rate cuts, market expectations adjusted, with speculation rising that a 50 basis point reduction might be on the horizon next week. Consequently, the probability of a 25 basis point cut fell to 53.0% from 72.0% the previous day, as per the CME FedWatch Tool. In the bond market, the 10-year note yield dropped three basis points to 3.65% for the day and six basis points for the week. The 2-year note yield decreased by seven basis points to 3.58% for both the day and the week. Year-to-date performance highlights are as follows: - Tradebeez Quant Investing: +19.31% - S&P 500: +18.0% - Nasdaq Composite: +17.8% - Dow Jones Industrial Average: +9.8% - S&P Midcap 400: +9.1% - Russell 2000: +7.7%

May was certainly pleasant in the stock market. The S&P 500 rose by a full 5.0%, on renewed hopes of lower US inflation paving the way for earlier rate cuts. The MSCI World Index rose by 4.1% in local currency, reflecting a somewhat more restrained exuberance in other markets. Total return year to date, at 11.1%, is nevertheless in double-digit territory after just five months. That may not last, however.  Read Finn Øystein Berghs commentary and find our latest monthly reports. In Norwegian: https://lnkd.in/dHDgz7fS #marketcommunication

The rally was also relatively broad, with the smaller-cap indexes outperforming (+9% on the week for the Russell 2000 index), although they remained below previous peaks. The initial reaction to the Fed’s jumbo rate cut was relatively muted. Indeed, investors’ celebration of the news seemed to begin on Thursday morning, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 Index, and Nasdaq Composite all surging to new highs. The week’s economic data arguably had an upbeat overall tone, leading critics of the Fed’s decision to argue that policymakers had moved too decisively. On Tuesday, the Commerce Department reported that retail sales had risen 0.1%, which was more than expected and which followed an upwardly revised jump of 1.1% in July. Meanwhile, building permits rose 4.9% in August, their biggest monthly gain in a year and taking them back to their highest level since March. Bond yields rose modestly in wake of the Fed decision while credit spreads tightened. In Europe, the #BoE left rates unchanged. The pan-European STOXX Europe 600 Index ended 0.33% lower, as the rally triggered by the U.S. Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut faded on Friday and investors grew cautious about the outlook for monetary policy. The #dollar was unchanged, #oil rallied, gold hit new all time high while #bitcoin surged above $63k. Have a great week-end Charles for the team
