Equities Retrace Large Part Of CPI Hit

US STOCKS
  • The S&P e-mini holds onto sizeable gains today at 4410 (+1.2%), sitting close to earlier highs of 4414.25 whilst more than unwinding Friday’s decline and going some way to retracing the hit from Thursday’s US CPI. Resistance is seen at 4427.45 (50-day EMA).
  • ESZ3 swiftly reversed an earlier move lower that followed a few large sell programs rolling through including the largest of the day with 1044 names at 1319ET before some large buy programs helped limit the move.
  • Gains have been helped by softer oil prices as well as limited new news from the Israel-Hamas conflict, coming despite a sizeable shift higher in real yields on the day (10Y real +6bps). Some larger individual movers have included Charles Schwab (post-earnings) and Pfizer (cutting Paxlovid cost base).
  • There are some key earnings later this week: BofA, J&J, Goldman Sachs, Procter & Gamble, Tesla, Netflix among others (with the first three all tomorrow).
  • The Russell outperforms (+1.6%), followed by Nasdaq (+1.4%), SPX (+1.2%) and Dow (+1.1%).
