30/06/23 Briefing


The S&P 500 futures are up 16 points and are trading 0.4% above fair value. The Nasdaq 100 futures are up 72 points and are trading 0.5% above fair value. The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are up 89 points and are trading 0.3% above fair value.

The last day of the second quarter has arrived and thus far it is going like most days of the second quarter, which is to say the stock market is expected to head higher at the open. Fittingly, Apple (AAPL) will be a leader at the start. Shares of AAPL are trading 0.9% higher, pushing them above a $3 trillion market capitalization, after Citigroup began coverage of the stock with a Buy rating and $240 price target.

Modest gains in other mega-cap stocks have helped underpin the futures trade, more than offsetting some weakness in Nike (NKE) following its earnings report.

The May Personal Income and Spending Report is the featured economic release at 8:30 a.m. ET. That report will also include the PCE Price Index and Core-PCE Price Index, which is the Fed's preferred inflation gauge. Overnight, China's June Manufacturing PMI checked in at 49.0, as expected, yet that remains below the expansion line of 50.0. Separately, headline inflation in the eurozone improved to 5.5% year-over-year in June from 6.1%, but core inflation moved up to 5.4% year-over-year from 5.3%.

The 2-yr Treasury note yield is up four basis points to 4.92% and the 10-yr note yield is up three basis points to 3.88%. The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.1% to 103.40.
