E-minis have recovered from session lows, providing a modest positive bias into the cash open: S&P 500 e-mini +0.2%, NASDAQ 100 e-mini +0.3% & DJIA e-mini +0.4%.
- The major contracts are little changed to higher vs. pre-retail sales levels, with the firmer-than-expected data just about outweighing any hawkish repricing in Fed funds futures. A 25bp cut is still more than fully discounted come the end of the Sep FOMC.
- Financial earnings were mixed, leaving BofA higher pre-market (+1.5%), while Morgan Stanley (-2.8%) & Charles Schwab are indicated lower (-7.8%).
- United Health is indicated higher post-earnings (+2.8%).
- Microsoft is seemingly set to shake of any worry surrounding a UK antitrust probe at the open, indicated little changed at this juncture.
- Weakness in crude oil futures could weigh on related names early on.
