[BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +61.30. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +233.30.The S&P 500 futures are up 61 points and are trading 1.7% above fair value. The Nasdaq 100 futures are up 228 points and are trading 2.1% above fair value. The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are up 378 points and are trading 1.3% above fair value.
Equity futures are up sharply this morning as market participants look to build on yesterday's gains, aided by contrarian-minded thinking that stems from an awareness that sentiment readings denote extremely bearish views.
There's also growing excitement in the market about the Fed potentially slowing the pace of its rate hikes and potentially nearing the end of its rate hike cycle. That excitement has been stoked by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), which raised its cash rate by only 25 basis points, instead of the 50 basis points expected, to 2.60%. The decision was tied to a recognition that the cash rate has been increased substantially in a short period of time, and a desire among RBA officials to see how the prior rate increases are affecting the outlook for inflation and economic growth.
The US dollar has weakened in the wake of the RBA move. The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.5% to 111.19, with the euro (EUR/USD +0.6% to 0.9886) showing some strength against the greenback. Falling Treasury yields have been another supportive factor for equities.
The 2-yr note yield is down seven basis points to 4.03% and the 10-yr note yield is down seven basis points to 3.58%. Gilt yields have also moved lower, driven by the news that Finance Minister Kwarteng will release his fiscal plan and forecasts from the OBR later this month instead of November 23, as previously indicated.
Energy complex futures trade in mixed fashion. WTI crude oil futures are up 1.2% to $84.67/bbl and natural gas futures are down 0.3% to $6.46/mmbtu.
