S&P Futures Uptick, Inflation Slowdown, Triple-Witching Event
Update: 2025-12-19
Description
Today, the S and P five hundred E-Mini futures saw a slight uptick, influenced by climbing global bond yields following the Bank of Japans interest rate hike. Wall Streets main indexes closed higher, with Micron Technology leading gains at over ten percent. However, FactSet Research Systems dropped seven percent after a soft revenue outlook. Novembers inflation figures were lower than expected, with the Consumer Price Index rising two point seven percent and core inflation at two point six percent. This slowdown in inflation may prompt the Federal Reserve to consider a rate cut. Investors anticipate significant market activity due to a triple-witching event and await earnings reports from several companies, as well as the University of Michigans U.S. Consumer Sentiment Index and Existing Home Sales data. In Europe, the Euro Stoxx fifty Index is up slightly, but recent data from Germany and the U.K. shows weaker consumer sentiment and unexpected drops in retail sales.
