What’s in Today’s Report:
Futures are marginally higher after China cut interest rates, although the cut was less than expected.
China cut its Loan Prime Rate (LPR) by five basis points. The rate cut was expected but it was supposed to be a 10-15 basis point cut, so the action isn’t as strong as hoped for and Chinese economic growth will remain a concern.
Economic data was sparse overnight as Japanese CPI met expectations at 0.5% yoy.
Today there aren’t any economic reports but there are several Fed speakers, including Bullard who already spoke and was dovish (which isn’t a surprise, he wanted a 50 bps cut this week). The most important speaker today is Williams (8:15 a.m. ET) as he’s considered part of Fed leadership, and if he advocates for more cuts that’ll be a dovish tailwind on stocks. Other speakers today include Rosengren (11:20 a.m. ET) and Kaplan (1:00 p.m. ET).
On U.S./China trade, the staffer meeting in preparation for the October meeting will continue, and absent any “real” news today any chatter that’s positive on U.S./China trade and/or dovish will help stocks rally.
“Bottom line for the Fed, if today’s events turn out to be net-hawkish, that will weigh on risk assets as investors remain overly optimistic about an aggressive easing cycle over the coming…” writes The Sevens Report’s Tom Essaye. Click here to read the full article.

What’s in Today’s Report:
Futures are slightly lower as markets digest a “not as dovish as wanted” Fed decision after a generally quiet night.
The market’s reaction to the Fed meeting is one of mild disappointment as the FOMC did not guarantee more rate cuts, although they signaled they will come if needed.
Economic data was sparse overnight as British Retail Sales met expectations and that number’s not moving markets.
Today there are several notable economic reports, including (in order of importance): Philly Fed (E: 11.3), Jobless Claims (E: 214K), Existing Home Sales (E: 5.375M) and Leading Indicators (E: 0.1%). The Bank of England is also out with a rate decision this morning but no change is expected.
But, the most important event of the day is the start of the lower level U.S./China trade talks, and any positive “chatter” from these meetings should help stocks offset mild Fed disappointment.
