After the S&P 500 record: stability in Wall Street futures

Trading review: current reports, trends, indices, stock prices, bonds, foreign exchange, commodities, and analyst recommendations. 15:35. About an hour before the opening of trading in New York, futures indicate stability. As of now, Dow Jones futures are down by about 0.1%, S&P 500 futures are advancing by about 0.1%, and Nasdaq futures are up by 0.2%.

Anastasia Amoruso, chief market strategist at Partners Group, told CNBC that "the market is bullish right now and rightly so," citing strong corporate earnings. According to FactSet, as of now, more than 90% of the companies included in the S&P 500 have reported their financial results for the second quarter, and their aggregate profit growth is hovering around 50%.

In Europe, trading is currently trending positively. The stock exchanges in London and Paris are rising slightly above their baseline, while the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is jumping by about 0.9%. In Asia, trading this morning closed with a mixed trend. The Nikkei climbed by about 0.6%, the Hang Seng weakened by 1.1%, the Shanghai Stock Exchange closed unchanged, and the Seoul Stock Exchange climbed by 2.4%, supported by memory chip companies Samsung and SK Hynix, which climbed by 2.5% and 7.3%, respectively.

Last night on Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange ended the trading day with a new record for the S&P 500 index, which crossed the 7,800-point mark for the first time and then retreated slightly. The S&P 500 climbed by about 0.6%, the tech-heavy Nasdaq rose by 0.8%, and the Dow Jones added about 0.1% to its value.

Against the backdrop of last night's trading trends, the Producer Price Index (PPI) in the US remained unchanged in July, compared to expectations for a 0.2% increase. The core index rose by 0.2%, slightly below forecasts of 0.3%. The figure comes a day after the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 0.1% in July, in line with expectations. The moderate inflation data strengthens assessments that the Federal Reserve will not rush to raise interest rates in September and supports continued gains on Wall Street.
