Futures down as rates continue to push higher

Market is Closed
[BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: -21.80. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -152.50.The S&P 500 futures trade 22 points, or 0.5%, below fair value as Treasury yields continue to push higher in front of a consequential week for economic data and earnings reports. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 futures underperform and trade 1.1% below fair value.
The 2-yr yield is currently up five basis points to 2.57%, and the 10-yr yield is up another four basis points to 2.76% after rising 34 basis points last week. The rapid rise in long-term rates has undercut the growth stocks within the Nasdaq for valuation reasons.
Other negative factors for sentiment include record-high COVID-19 cases in Shanghai that has kept residents in lockdown mode, uncertainty surrounding France's presidential election runoff on April 24, the Russia-Ukraine situation, and a recognition that the S&P 500 closed below its 200-day moving average (now 4494) last Friday.
Interestingly, WTI crude futures have slipped below $94 per barrel ($93.66, -4.60, -4.7%) amid the Shanghai lockdowns, the joint effort among IEA nations to release oil from strategic reserves, and some weakening price momentum.
There's no economic data of note scheduled for today, but investors will receive key CPI data for March on Tuesday, PPI data for March on Wednesday, and Retail Sales for March on Thursday. On a related note, China reported hotter than expected inflation figures for March on Monday.
As for earnings, JPMorgan Chase (JPM 133.79, +0.30, +0.2%) will kick off the Q1 earnings reporting season prior to Wednesday's open. As a reminder, the market will be closed on Good Friday.
