US Open: indices open flat, remaining in consolidation 📌

1:55 PM 1 July 2024
  • US100 and US500 slightly gain at the start of the cash session
  • The dollar retreats, losing ground to EUR and GBP
  • 10-year bond yields rise dynamically for the second consecutive session

The opening of the cash session in the USA is calm. Major indexes remain in consolidation at the highest levels, which has lasted for over 2 weeks. Simultaneously, the dollar index is down 0.20% today, approaching an important support level. If this zone is broken, we can expect further weakening of the USD, which should support stock index quotations. Noteworthy are also the 10-year US Treasury yields, which have risen significantly for the second consecutive session to the level of 4.45%.

Highlights

BlackRock will acquire the British firm Preqin for £2.55 billion ($3.23 billion) in cash as part of the further expansion of the world's largest asset management company into alternative investments. Joe Biden's loyalists spent the weekend rejecting calls for the president to drop his re-election bid, but a CBS News poll showed that only 28% of voters think he should run, including just 54% from his own party. The Supreme Court will rule today on whether Donald Trump is exempt from criminal charges for attempts to overturn the 2020 election. The court, with a 6-3 conservative majority including three justices appointed by Trump, appeared inclined during April 25 arguments to recognize some level of criminal immunity, though perhaps in a narrower version than the "absolute immunity" for official actions that Trump sought.
