Wall Street in mixed sentiment - US500 on minimal decline -0.1%
US futures fluctuates amid mixed corporate earning results and as investors are evaluating latest economic data. Today, PMIs in the US came higher than expected with the manufacturing index at 50.4 and services at 53.7. Values above 50 points suggest that the US economy is still strong and in the expansion cycle, which increases chances of a 25pb hike at the FED meeting in May.
Officials from the Federal Reserve still have a hawkish stance on controlling inflation. Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester has suggested another rate hike to keep inflation under control, but also mentioned the importance of monitoring recent bank stress that could negatively impact credit and the economy. Meanwhile, Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan has commented that inflation has been excessively high.
