US Share Market News
Performance Overview:
On Monday, the US market experienced choppy trading, unable to build on Friday’s pullback rally as investors awaited upcoming inflation data.
Investors are now turning their attention to key inflation reports on consumer and producer prices, due in the next two days. These reports could offer direction to a market that’s been volatile following a disappointing jobs report and the unwind of the yen carry trade last week.
Sector-Specific Movements:
The S&P 500 ended almost unchanged, with a marginal gain of just 0.23 points.
The Nasdaq Composite edged up by 0.21%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.36%.
Economic Indicators:
The Producer Price Index (PPI), a measure of wholesale prices, is expected to show a 0.2% monthly increase in July, matching the previous month’s reading, according to Dow Jones consensus estimates. The data will be released on Tuesday.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI), due on Wednesday, is expected to show a 0.2% rise in July, following a 0.1% decline in the previous month.
Later this week, retail sales data could draw attention, especially after the latest jobs report renewed concerns about slowing growth and brought consumer spending under scrutiny.
Other Asset Classes
Treasury Yields:
US Treasury yields fell on Monday, with the 10-year Treasury yield dropping by 3.7 basis points to 3.905%, as investors looked ahead to key inflation data and other economic reports due this week.
Currency:
The yen continued its gradual decline against the dollar on Monday after last week’s volatility. Investors are weighing the chances of a significant Fed rate cut next month, ahead of key US economic data. The Dollar Index is currently at 102.98.
Commodities:
US crude oil prices surged on Monday, exceeding $80 per barrel, as the Pentagon sent more forces to the Middle East in anticipation of an Iranian attack on Israel. Brent crude for October delivery rose to $82.30 per barrel, up 3.31%.
Gold prices climbed over 1% on Monday, reaching their highest level since August 2. They were driven by safe-haven buying as traders awaited US inflation data that could influence the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions. Spot gold increased by more than 1% to $2,458.25 per ounce.
Asian Markets
General Trends:
Asia-Pacific markets mostly opened higher on Tuesday, following a volatile session in the US as investors geared up for key inflation data.
