📊Wall Street tries to erase loses after ISM report📌US100 bounces up above 18,000 points; still down -3%
U.S. market sentiment is very weak today, but improved after July ISM data from the U.S., which the market took as evidence that a recession in the U.S. economy is not a foregone conclusion. ISM services data in June showed 48.8, but today's July reading shows a slight expansion at 51.4. Statements by the Fed's Goolsbee suggest that the Federal Reserve will not be in too much of a hurry to cut rates, 'overreacting' to the recent, noticeably weaker, but in Goolsbe's view 'not yet recessionary' data.
Such a 'hawkish' scenario is also made plausible by the strong reading of the services price sub-index, in today's ISM data (57 versus an expected drop to 55.1 after 56.3 in June). As a result, the ISM data is not unequivocally positive for the markets, so Wall Street's reaction after the report is admittedly upward, but the indexes are still far from erasing the declines.

US100 futures are still losing nearly 2.9%, although they were down nearly 5.5% before the Wall Street market opened. Still, strong selling pressure is seen across the entire technology, especially semiconductor sector.

ISM services data from the United States (for July)
- ISM index for services:51.4 (expected: 51; previous: 48.8)
- Employment sub-index: 51.1 (previous: 46.1)
- Price sub-index: 57 (previous: 56.3)
- New orders sub-index: 52.4 (previous: 47.3)
Previously released July PMI data for services showed a drop to 55 points, with a preliminary reading of 56 points and 56 in June. However, S&P's chief economist points out that the PMI report indicates a strong economy and job growth for the second month in a row. This clearly conflicts, with the 'recessionary' fears that the market has begun to discount in recent days, fearing high stock valuations.
Almost all stocks of large US companies are under pressure today, however the pressure weakens after the US ISM data. Source: xStation5
