News: What you need to know about the markets | | | | Waiting for the Fed; US housing data; Draghi speaks | By Julia Horowitz, CNN Business | | 1. Waiting for the Fed: Attention this week remains squarely focused on the Federal Reserve. | | The US central bank kicks off its June meeting on Tuesday. Its rate decision and press conference follow on Wednesday. | | Investors want a clear signal from Chair Jerome Powell, who said two weeks ago that the Fed would act as appropriate to sustain the economic expansion in the United States. | | That triggered a stock rally — though markets are now clamoring for more specifics. Expectations for a rate cut in July are now at 86%, according to the CME's FedWatch tool. | | It's clear that central banks are leaning toward looser monetary policy. | | European Central Bank President Mario Draghi on Tuesday signaled his willingness to boost monetary stimulus if economic conditions don't improve, causing the euro to fall. | | 2. Housing data: In the meantime, markets could move on a new batch of data. | | US housing starts and building permits will post at 8:30 a.m. ET. | | Investors will be watching closely after a surprisingly weak indicator on Monday. The Empire State Manufacturing Survey, which measures how factories in New York view the state of their business, fell much more than expected in June. | | Economists expected the New York manufacturing industry to expand. Instead, the decline of the business conditions index was the largest on record, according to the New York Fed. | | 3. Markets rise: US stock futures point higher. The Dow is set to jump 60 points, or almost 0.2%, when markets open. The Nasdaq could rise 0.5% and the S&P 500 is poised to climb 0.3%. | | European markets gained in early trading on the remarks from Draghi. France's CAC 40 leaped 0.9%. Germany's DAX rose 0.5%. | | Stocks in Asia finished higher, bar Japan. The Shanghai Composite rose 0.1%, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained 0.9%. The Nikkei fell 0.7%. | | The Dow closed up 0.1% on Monday. The S&P 500 inched up 0.1%, and the Nasdaq rose 0.6%. | | Before the Bell newsletter: Key market news. In your inbox.
