Futures are modestly lower as global bond yields rise following surprise political news over the weekend.
Far right political parties outperformed expectations in EU elections while French President Macron called for surprise snap elections. The results are pushing French and German bond yields higher, which are pulling Treasury yields up in sympathy and weighing slightly on futures.
Outside of the political results, it was a mostly quiet weekend of news as investors look ahead to an important week of AI catalysts, the FOMC decision and the latest CPI report.
This is a busy and important week for markets as it will either confirm current (positive) expectations on Fed rate cuts and inflation or challenge them and increase volatility. That said, the week starts quietly as there are no notable economic reports today and the key event is likely to be AAPL’s Worldwide Developer Conference keynote announcement, which is focused on AI. If it’s underwhelming, tech could lag and slightly weigh on markets.
