14/08/23 Briefing


The S&P 500 futures are down 5 points and are trading 0.1% below fair value. The Nasdaq 100 futures are down 30 points and are trading 0.1% below fair value. The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are down six points and are trading fractionally below fair value.

Stock futures have been mixed, yet little changed, following yesterday's flattish finish. Market participants are looking ahead to the July Producer Price Index at 8:30 a.m. ET and the preliminary August University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment survey at 10:00 a.m. ET.

China reported weak yuan loan growth for July, adding to concerns about domestic demand. Also, worries about the Chinese property market were piqued when Country Garden said it expects to lose approx. $8.0 billion in the first half of 2023.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) warned of tight supply in 2023 due to OPEC+ production cuts, but said it expects demand growth to slowdown in 2024.

The 2-yr note yield is down one basis point to 4.82% and the 10-yr note yield is up two basis points to 4.10%
