SPY 3 months, daily candles Indecision candle yesterday as this recent move gets digested and we approach some chunkier volume profile overhead. Daily uptrend/weekly downtrend in play.

Riding the coattails of Salesforce

Market is Closed
[BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +12.50. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +32.20.
The S&P 500 futures are up 11 points and are trading 0.3% above fair value. The Nasdaq 100 futures are up 33 points and are trading 0.3 % above fair value. The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are up 161 points and are trading 0.6% above fair value.
The major indices appear poised for a modestly higher start thanks in large part to a big move in shares of Dow component Salesforce, Inc. (CRM), which raised its FY23 profit outlook. Relatively good earnings news from Victoria's Secret (VSCO) and Capri Holdings (CPRI) has also been supportive along with an uptick in shares of Meta Platforms (FB), which are responding to the news that the Supreme Court blocked a Texas law that would have banned social media companies from removing certain posts.
Still, there is some reservation in the air as market participants digest Atlanta Fed President Bostic's remark that his prior comments pertaining to a possible "pause" in September should not be interpreted as being a Fed put. On a somewhat related note, Treasury Secretary Yellen acknowledged that inflation is too high; meanwhile, WTI crude futures ($115.93, +1.26, +1.1%) are again pushing higher after testing $120.00/bbl yesterday.
The Fed begins its balance sheet runoff program today amid the release of some key economic releases that include the April JOLTS - Job Openings Report and the May ISM Manufacturing Index.
The 10-yr note yield is up four basis points to 2.88% and the 2-yr note yield is up five basis points to 2.59%.

Shanghai's lockdown reportedly ended today.
Moody's noted that easing measures in China have not translated into higher property sales yet. "The beginning of so-called quantitative tightening commences today as the Fed lets bonds mature off its $9T balance sheet without replacement. It's a big step for a central bank that conducted unprecedented bond purchases from March 2020 to March 2022, which were intended to blunt the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. The pullback comes at a time when the Treasury market is already grappling with periods of volatility and low liquidity, and there are many unanswered questions about the effects of the new policy regime.
Snapshot: Yields should technically move higher in response to QT, while the curve should steepen, due to a tightening of financial conditions and money supply. However, the direction of yields is also highly dependent on other economic factors, like expectations of Fed interest rate hikes, the U.S. economic outlook or greater regulatory constraints. Others feel that any outsized impacts will rather show up in money markets or financial market plumbing, or that effects on liquidity are at least a few quarters away."
