American stock exchanges open Thursday's session in positive spirits, supported by a mix of better macroeconomic data and expectations regarding further actions by the Fed.
The broad market experiences gains, and all major indices in the USA opens at new ATH. The Federal Reserve adds fuel to an already heated market. For investors, this is a signal that the FED supports the market even if the real economy continues to send signals of strength. This increases risk appetite and pushes indices towards new highs, but exerts pressure on the dollar.
Macroeconomic Data:
FOMC decided yesterday to lower the interest rate by 25 basis points, marking the first such move since December.
The Fed signals that further reductions are possible within the year if risks related to the labor market intensify, but they are not certain. The market positively receives the balanced stance of the Fed.
The number of new unemployment benefit claims fell to 231000 noticeably below market forecasts, indicating a slight stabilization after a previous increase. Simultaneously, the Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index surprised exceptionally positively, rising to 23,2 against expectations of only 1,7. This is the highest result in months, indicating a strong revival in the region's industry. Together, these two readings show that despite growing concerns about the labor market, the American industrial sector is showing clear signs of recovery.
