Quick Glance: Futures Rise on Possible September Rate Cuts
- U.S. stock index futures saw a slight increase on Thursday, reflecting an optimistic sentiment regarding the Federal Reserve potentially commencing its easing policy next month. Market focus has shifted to the comments from policymakers at the upcoming Jackson Hole Symposium this week.
- The prospect of a Fed interest rate cut in September gained momentum following the release of minutes from the central bank’s latest meeting, indicating that a vast majority of officials deemed such a move likely. The July meeting took place prior to a disappointing employment report, which pointed to cooling inflation and a softening yet resilient economy.
- Fed Chair Powell's anticipated remarks at Jackson Hole are viewed as crucial for affirming market expectations. Currently, money markets indicate a 69.5% chance for at least a 25-basis-point cut in September, with projections of around 100 basis points in easing by December.
- Wall Street's main indexes closed slightly higher, with the S&P 500 less than 1% away from its all-time highs. Key economic indicators, including weekly jobless claims and preliminary August business activity, are set to be released later in the day.
