US Session Analysis for CFD Instruments 16/08/2021
Fundamental analysis
16 August, 2021
U.S. stock futures edged down Monday, pointing to muted losses for major indexes that closed at record highs last week, after data showed a slowdown in China’s economy. Futures for the S&P 500 ticked down 0.2%. The broad gauge of large-cap stocks hit its 48th all-time closing high of 2021 on Friday. Stocks have ground higher in thin summer trading, buoyed by a bumper set of quarterly earnings reports from American companies. However, investors remain wary of the dampening effect of the Delta variant of Covid-19 on business activity, and potential pitfalls including geopolitical uncertainty and the possible removal of some stimulus by the Federal Reserve early next year.
