The stock market is poised for a lower open, pressured by ongoing concerns about global growth and by weak mega cap stocks. Following yesterday's slate of central bank policy rate hikes, market participants are digesting a batch of disappointing global Manufacturing PMIs.
Specifically, flash June Manufacturing PMI readings from Germany, France, and the U.K. showed a deepening contraction while France's Services PMI also fell into contractionary territory (i.e. sub-50 readings). Australia's Manufacturing PMI contracted for the fourth consecutive month, albeit showing some improvement from last month, while Japan's Manufacturing PMI fell back into contraction after expanding slightly in May.
Those reports have fed into a general sense that global manufacturing activity is weakening amid ongoing rate hikes.
Treasury yields are moving lower. The 2-yr note yield is down four basis points to 4.75% and the 10-yr note yield is down six basis points to 3.74%.
