BULLISH-HUNTER

Hello everyone! US stocks are poised for a positive start to the week, with futures markets signaling another significant week of rebound. Meanwhile, Friday's weak jobs report heightened recession fears and solidified the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut later this month. However, an unexpected rise in inflation data in the coming week could cast some doubt on the Fed's rate cut plans.
Stock futures rose Sunday evening as investors braced for new inflation data and overseas political turmoil that could spill over into the bond market.
Friday's dismal jobs report heightened recession fears and solidified the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut later this month.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rose 94 points, or 0.21%. S&P 500 futures rose 0.23%, and Nasdaq futures rose 0.38%.
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was flat at 4.091%. The dollar rose 0.05% against the euro and 0.65% against the yen after Japan's prime minister announced he would step down after less than a year in office.
More political turmoil in the world's fourth-largest economy could roil bond markets as investors judge whether the next leader will lean toward fiscal discipline or greater profligacy.
Similarly, bond hawks pushed up French bond yields on expectations of deepening deadlock and no progress in controlling the deficit. The French government also faces a confidence vote on Monday.
U.S. oil prices rose 0.32% to $62.07 a barrel, while Brent crude rose 0.40% to $65.76 a barrel. The gains came despite major OPEC+ members agreeing to increase production again to capture more market share.
Gold fell 0.64% to $3,630 an ounce, but remained near record highs after recession fears drove safe-haven assets higher last week.
More recessionary signals were hidden in the latest jobs data. On Sunday, Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, noted that most US industries have been shedding jobs rather than adding them for months, warning that "this situation only occurs in a recession."
Such labor market weakness essentially predestines a Federal Reserve rate cut. According to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's (CME) FedWatch tool, Wall Street is confident the Fed will implement some type of rate cut when it announces its policy decision on September 17th. The only question is whether it will be a 25 basis point or a 50 basis point cut. Currently, the market has priced in a 92% probability of a 25 basis point cut.
Perhaps the only possibility that could cast doubt on the prospect of a rate cut is an unexpected surge in inflation. While the impact of President Donald Trump's tariffs on inflation has been far less than expected, investors will receive crucial new information.
