EQUITIES: E-mini S&P Presses to New Highs, Trump Trades Boost Headline Indices

EQUITIES

E-mini S&P continues to stretch to new daily (and record) highs, despite the thinned volumes from the partial US market holiday. Trump trades remain the theme here, with pre-market trade in single stocks seen gaining from a Trump Presidency in firm demand: Tesla shares +6.9%, Banks (Citi +1.6%, BofA +1.2%, Goldman Sachs +1.6%) and Trump Media +9.7% - although oil & gas explorers are lagging thanks to a somewhat softer oil price so far today.

  • Other notable pre-market movers include NVidia, higher by 0.7% on both index strength as well as the upgrade from at Piper Sandler, who see NVidia as a large cap top pick thanks to AI exposure, which has countered early weakness stemming from a negative view from notable UK fund manager Terry Smith.
  • Finding notable resistance and upside levels becomes tricky from an index perspective, with projection levels the next areas of interest at 6070.16 and 6103.88.
