Nasdaq 100 (US100) futures are up more than 0.5 percent today, with sentiment boosted by a Wall Street-friendly PCE report. Inflation expectations came in line with market forecasts, while personal consumption and income largely matched economists’ projections.
- Preliminary University of Michigan data for December also supported the bullish tone on Wall Street, showing an improvement in consumer sentiment together with a decline in inflation expectations in both the one-year and five-year horizons. This combination strengthens investors’ belief in a realistic rate cut in December and a “lower-risk” dovish policy path into 2026, which could support risk assets while putting pressure on yields and the US dollar.
- The meeting between China’s Vice Premier He Lifeng and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent likely went well, as Chinese officials released an upbeat statement highlighting an intention to broaden cooperation with the United States.
- Adding to the improving risk appetite, shares of CoreWeave (CRWV.US), one of the most heavily sold-off tech stocks this year, have surged more than 23 percent over the last five sessions. The move underscores fading concerns about AI infrastructure spending being overstretched. Analysts at Roth Capital Partners initiated coverage on the GPU leasing company with a buy rating and a 110 USD price target.
