The S&P 500 futures are down 34 points and are trading 0.9% below fair value. The Nasdaq 100 futures are down 128 points and are trading 1.3% below fair value. The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are down 243 points and are trading 0.7% below fair value.
The early disposition leans negatively with growth concerns continuing to act as a headwind. Those concerns have shown up in a flattening Treasury yield curve and the euro trading at a 20-year low against the dollar (EUR/USD currently 1.0295).
Other macro factors at work in keeping a lid on bullish sentiment include reports that the eurozone's Sentix Economic Confidence Index saw its lowest reading on Monday (-26.4) since May 2020, South Korea had its highest inflation print (6.0% yr/yr) since 1998, the Yangtze Delta region has seen a rise in COVID cases, and oil and gas workers in Norway have gone on strike over pay.
Separately, the Reserve Bank of Australia raised its key policy rate by 50 basis points, as expected, to 1.35%, another crypto lender, Vauld, has paused customer withdrawals, Russia is shutting down the Nord Stream 1 pipeline for summer maintenance work, and the Biden Administration is said to be close to rolling back tariffs on some Chinese imports.
Coming off the holiday weekend, there are a lot of moving headline parts with respect to macro factors, yet the market-moving corporate news is sparse.
The 2-yr note yield and the 10-yr note yield are both yielding 2.89%.
