U.S. equity futures are tracking global stocks higher this morning. More underwhelming economic data overseas is helping bolster the case for rate cuts from the world’s biggest central banks in the first quarter of 2024.
Economically, German Manufacturer’s Orders fell -3.7% vs. (E) +0.5% in October. Eurozone Retail Sales edged up just +0.1% vs. (E) +0.3%. This is helping drive a bid in bond markets amid dovish money flows across asset classes today.
Looking into today’s session, focus will be on economic data early. The ADP Employment Report (E: 123K), International Trade in Goods and Services (E: -$64.1B) and Productivity and Costs (E: +4.8%, -0.9%) data will release before the bell.
Finally, there are no Fed officials scheduled to speak today. So the market will be looking for a still healthy but not “hot” ADP print, steady trade data, and a continued decline in unit labor costs (wage inflation) to help support soft-landing hopes and extend the November rally.
