The equity futures market is struggling to begin the shortened trading week, as inflation concerns continue to drive Treasury yields higher. The S&P 500 futures trade 34 points, or 0.7%, below fair value while the tech-heavy Nasdaq futures underperform and trade 1.6% below fair value.
The 10-yr Treasury note yield is currently up two basis points to 1.81% after trading near 1.85% overnight, while the 2-yr yield trades higher by six basis points to 1.02% on increased expectations for the Fed to be more aggressive in tightening policy. The market is now expecting the Fed to hike rates more than three times this year.
Elsewhere, the Bank of Japan left its monetary policy unchanged while raising its inflation forecast due to rising commodity prices. Interestingly, the People's Bank of China
lowered its key benchmark rate by 10 basis points, which was its first cut since April 2020.
Looking at commodity prices, WTI crude futures are up another 1.4%, or $1.18, to $85.00 per barrel amid rising geopolitical tensions in Europe and the Middle East. The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.1% to 95.38.
Q4 bank earnings continue to roll in, but like last Friday, the results haven't impressed the market and shares have been pressured by the curve-flattening activity in the Treasury market. Goldman Sachs (GS 370.00, -10.94, -2.9%), in particular, missed EPS estimates on above-consensus revenue.
Separately, investors will receive the Empire State Manufacturing Survey for January (Briefing.comconsensus 25.0) at 8:30 a.m. ET, the NAHB Housing Market Index for January (Briefing.comconsensus 84) at 10:00 a.m. ET, and Net Long-Term TIC Flows for November at 4:00 p.m. ET.
