[BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +16.50. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +36.50.
The S&P 500 futures trade 17 points, or 0.4%, above fair value as the market continues to digest Fed Chair Powell's comments yesterday while investors parse the latest earnings news and await key economic data.
The 2-yr yield, which settled higher by six basis points post-FOMC yesterday, has jumped another 12 basis points to 1.19% this morning on continued expectations for the Fed to be more assertive in tightening policy amid high inflation risks.
Long-term rates have slipped, though, with the 10-yr yield down two basis points to 1.83% and the 30-yr yield down seven basis points to 2.11%. Notably, the U.S. Dollar Index has jumped 1.2% to 97.06. WTI crude futures remain elevated above $88 per barrel ($88.10, +0.75, +0.9%).
As for earnings, Tesla (TSLA 925.01, -12.40, -1.3%), Intel (INTC 50.05, -1.64, -3.2%), McDonald's (MCD 245.00, -4.85, -1.9%), and Dow Inc. (DOW 57.98, +0.76, +1.3%) reported mixed results and/or outlooks, which have had a muted impact on the futures market.
Encouragingly, there has been some signs of dip-buying conviction in the market. Specifically, Pershing Square and Bill Ackman announced that the firm has acquired over 3.1 million shares of Netflix (NFLX 375.66, +15.96, +4.4%), making the firm a top-20 shareholder in NFLX.
