S&P 500, Nasdaq futures at record highs on September rate cut expectations
Dow E-minis were up 0.23%, S&P 500 E-minis were up 0.17% and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 0.23%. (EPA Images pic) NEW YORK : US futures tracking the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq indexes were pinned at record highs today, buoyed by increasing confidence that the Federal Reserve (Fed) could restart its monetary policy easing cycle next month. Signs that US taxes on imports have not fully filtered into headline consumer prices sparked a relief rally on Wall Street in the previous session, with the benchmark S&P 500 marking its first record high close in two weeks. Despite core inflation marking its biggest jump since the start of the year, investors factored in recent weakness in the job market and a shake-up at the Fed as they leaned in favour of a potential dovish move by the central bank in September. Interest rate futures now reflect a 98% chance of a 25 basis points interest rate cut, according to data compiled by LSEG, compared with 88.8% yesterday. The central bank last lowered borrowing costs in December. 'The US inflation reading was in line with market expectations, and the downside risks in the labour market are likely to outweigh inflation concerns,' said Mark Haefele, CIO at UBS Global Wealth Management. 'Our base case remains that the Fed will resume rate cuts at the September meeting and continue cutting for a total of 100 bps,' Haefele said. At 5.35am, Dow E-minis were up 104 points, or 0.23%, S&P 500 E-minis were up 11.5 points, or 0.17% and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 54.25 points, or 0.23%. The CBOE volatility index, popularly referred to as Wall Street's fear gauge, dropped to 14.55 – its lowest since January. Rate-sensitive banking stocks such as Bank of America and Citigroup were marginally higher in premarket trading after the broader sector logged its biggest daily rise in three months yesterday. Analysts said a steepening yield curve following the inflation report could help bank earnings as lenders could borrow cheap and lend at a higher rate. Nomura was the first among brokerages to bring forward its easing forecast after the data and now expects the Fed to ease interest rates by 25 basis points in September. Later in the day, investors will weigh in on the remarks of a number of policymakers, especially Chicago Fed president Austan Goolsbee – a federal open market committee voting member this year. Earnings are also in focus. CoreWeave, which is backed by Nvidia, lost 9.2% after the AI data centre operator reported a bigger-than-expected net loss. Investors were also keeping an eye on developments on the China revenue-sharing deal the US government signed with chip companies such as Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices that the White House said could be expanded to other companies in the sector. Venture Global gained 9.3% after the liquefied natural gas (LNG) major won a legal battle against Shell over its failure to deliver LNG under long-term contracts starting in 2023. Crude prices traded around US$60 per barrel ahead of a virtual meeting between Donald Trump and European leaders on the Russo-Ukraine conflict, two days before the US president meets Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Stocks take a breather, Fed rate-cut drumbeat weighs on dollar
A woman walks past an electronic screen displaying the stock index prices of Asian countries outside a brokerage in Tokyo, Japan April 24, 2025. REUTERS/Issei Kato SINGAPORE: The U.S. dollar was under pressure on Thursday as traders piled into wagers that the Federal Reserve will resume cutting interest rates next month, powering bitcoin to a record high, while a blistering rally in global stocks took a breather. MSCI's gauge of equities in Asia excluding Japan lingered near its loftiest level since September 2021, taking cues from Wall Street, where the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes hit new closing highs for the second straight day. The MSCI All Country World Index rose to a record high for the second straight session on Wednesday and was last nearly flat on Thursday. Futures markets indicated that European and U.S. shares were poised for a muted start. The dollar fell to a two-week low against a basket of major peers on shifting expectations of U.S. rate cuts, with comments from the U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also sparking some wagers on an outsized 50 basis point cut. Goldman Sachs expects the U.S. Federal Reserve to deliver three, 25-basis-point interest rate cuts this year and two more in 2026. Traders are currently pricing in a near certainty of a rate cut in September, with odds of a more aggressive 50 bps cut rising to 7%, up from 0% a week earlier, per CME's FedWatch tool. "A rate cut in September seems likely given the recent job market revisions," said Ben Bennett, APAC investment strategist at Legal and General Investment Management. "But inflation data remains sticky, and there's no sign of a serious economic downturn, so the Fed will probably want to keep their options open for the rest of the year," he said. The biggest mover in FX during Asian hours was the Japanese yen, which climbed to a three-week high of 146.38 per dollar after Bessent said in a media interview that that Bank of Japan will likely be raising interest rates as it is behind the curve in dealing with the risk of inflation. The yen also firmed broadly against the euro and British pound. BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda has signalled readiness to keep raising rates but justified going slow on the view that "underlying inflation," which focuses on domestic demand and wages, remains short of the BOJ's target. The BOJ has also been wary of raising rates before policymakers have more clarity on the impact of U.S. trade tariffs on the Japanese economy and corporate profits. CRYPTO SURGE Optimism on monetary policy easing in the world's largest economy also powered cryptocurrency bitcoin to an all-time high of $124,480.82 with analysts also pointing to recent financial sector reforms as a tailwind for the asset class. Bitcoin has risen 32% so far in 2025, and the second largest cryptocurrency, ether, has climbed 41% and is hovering just shy of its all-time high hit in November 2021. In commodity markets, gold prices nudged up and crude oil prices were a tad higher after hitting a two-month low on Wednesday as investors kept their focus on the summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Friday. Trump on Wednesday threatened "severe consequences" if Putin did not agree to peace in Ukraine but also said that a meeting between them could swiftly be followed by a second one that would include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. In the past, Trump has said both sides will have to swap land to end fighting that has cost tens of thousands of lives and displaced millions. "While lack of progress towards a ceasefire may lead to renewed threats of secondary oil tariffs/sanctions, we see limited risk of large disruptions in Russia supply," analysts at Goldman Sachs wrote in a note. Investor are also awaiting U.S. producer price inflation data later in the day, followed by the retail sales report on Friday. DBS analysts reckon that investors are likely to apply the "bad news-good news" rule, treating soft U.S. data as a cue for lower yields, a weaker dollar and stronger risk appetite while seeing stronger data as a brake to the easing narrative. - Reuters
