- Indices are experiencing a slight correction at the start of the session.
- The dollar index is down 0.26%.
- Yields on 2-year bonds are declining, while 10-year bond yields are rising.
The start of the second trading day this week does not bring significant volatility. Indices are seeing slight declines at the beginning of the session, but the scale of these declines is not causing major concern among investors. Regional data (Richmond Index) and consumer sentiment reports were just released, both of which turned out to be worse than expected, indicating a slightly deteriorating state of the U.S. economy. Following the data release, slight declines were observed in the indices, and the dollar weakened.
US500
The US500 index has remained practically unchanged since the FOMC decision last week. The index price has been holding within a narrow range of 5730–5780 points, waiting for a catalyst to either continue the current trend or trigger a correction. Such a signal could be Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s speech on Thursday or the release of the PCE report on Friday. However, the most likely price-moving factor will be next week’s employment reports.
