[BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +36.00. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +98.00.The S&P 500 futures are up 36 point and are trading 0.9% above fair value. The Nasdaq 100 futures are up 95 points and are trading 0.8% above fair value. The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are up 294 points and are trading 0.8% above fair value.
The equity futures market has a positive disposition this morning. Investors are feeling less anxious about the banking industry following a Bloomberg report indicating the Treasury Department is looking at ways to guarantee all bank deposits, if necessary, without congressional approval. Also, Treasury Secretary Yellen's prepared remarks to the American Bankers Association, according to CNBC, indicated that the government is prepared to intervene again if "smaller institutions suffer deposit runs that pose the risk of contagion.”
A rebound in the bank stocks following the aforementioned news has been integral to this morning's gains. First Republic Bank (FRC) is among the top performers from the banking sector on reports that it's pursuing strategic alternatives, including a possible sale.
There's also some contrarian buying interest helping along the equity futures market after the BofA Global Fund Manager Survey showed that pessimism is near a 20-year low.
The Treasury market is under selling pressure this morning, presumably as some of safety premium embedded there gets unwound. The 2-yr note yield is up 21 basis points to 4.13% and the 10-yr note yield is up eight basis points to 3.56%. As a reminder, the FOMC meeting starts today and a decision will be announced at 2:00 p.m. ET Wednesday.
