Pre-Market Report – Monday 29 September: US markets break losing streak | Gold and silver shine
Description
Wall St snapped its three-day losing streak overnight as the PCE price index came bang in line with expectations, quickly reigniting hopes of at least two rate cuts by the end of the year. Consumer spending slightly countered this view, surprising to the upside and reinforcing Thursday’s GDP revision. Bond yields down, USD down, gold up, equities up. S&P 500 up 0.59% on low volume. Dow Jones up 300 points. Nasdaq underperformed. Up 0.44%. The rally initially dented as Consumer Sentiment came in lower than expected before stocks rebounded to close on a high. The inflation print outweighed news of Trump announcing tariffs on pharmaceuticals, heavy trucks and furniture. All three indices logged their first week of losses in a month albeit minimal damage. S&P 500 -0.31% vs the ASX 200 +0.16%. Dow Jones down 68 points. Nasdaq down 0.65%.
SPI up 21 - RBA tomomorrow.
