Futures rally on signs of Russia-Ukraine de-escalation
15-Feb-22 07:55 ET
Market is Closed
[BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +71.10. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +291.30.
The S&P 500 futures trade 71 points, or 1.6%, above fair value in a relief rally on news that Russia has pulled back some troops from its border with Ukraine. Long-term interest rates have edged higher while oil prices have taken a dip.
According to CNBC, there are still over 100,000 troops conducting large military drills at the border, so the U.S. is taking possible de-escalation with a "grain of salt." The market, though, is more optimistic that diplomacy will win out.
Other positive-sounding developments include the People's Bank of China injecting CNY100 billion ($15.7 billion) into the banking system, Intel (INTC 48.21, +0.63, +1.3%) acquiring Tower Semi (TSEM 47.73, +14.60, +44.1%) in a $5.4 billion cash deal, and better-than-expected earnings reports.
Away from equities, the 10-yr yield is up three basis points to 2.03% while the 2-yr yield trades lower by one basis point to 1.58%. The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.3% to 96.07. WTI crude futures are down 3.1%, or $2.99, to $93.49/bbl.
On the data front, investors will receive the Producer Price Index for January (Briefing.com consensus 0.5%) and the Empire State Manufacturing Survey for February (Briefing.com consensus 12.0) at 8:30 a.m. ET, followed by Net Long-Term TIC Flows for December at 4:00 p.m. ET.
