Futures muted to start the month

Market is Closed
[BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: -1.30. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -16.00.
The S&P 500 futures trade roughly in-line with fair value in a meek start to the month following the beatdown in April.
Growth concerns continue to linger after China's April Manufacturing PMI (47.4) contracted more than expected and Beijing tightened COVID restrictions, but the market might be drawing support from new inflows on the first trading day of the month. The 3% markdown in oil prices ($101.63, -3.09, -3.0%) is reflecting reduced demand expectations.
There might also be some hesitation for the FOMC's policy decision on Wednesday, the vast amount of earnings news throughout the week, and key economic data starting with the April ISM Manufacturing Index (Briefing.com consensus 57.9%) at 10:00 a.m. ET and culminating with the April employment report on Friday.
The Construction Spending report for March (Briefing.com consensus 0.8%) will be released concurrently with the ISM report, which will be preceded by the final IHS Markit Manufacturing PMI for April at 9:45 a.m. ET.
The Treasury market has softened up this morning, pushing yields slightly higher. The 2-yr yield is up three basis points to 2.72%, and the 10-yr yield is up three basis points to 2.92%. The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.4% to 103.38.
