S&P 500 VIX Futures Market News and Commentary

Stocks Settle Mixed Ahead of Wednesday’s FOMC Decision

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) on Tuesday closed down by -0.09%, the Dow Jones Industrials Index ($DOWI) (DIA) closed down by -0.38%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed up by +0.16%.  December E-mini S&P futures (ESZ25) fell -0.12%, and December E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQZ25) rose +0.10%.

Stock indexes gave up early gains and settled mixed on Tuesday as bond yields climbed after the Oct JOLTS report showed job openings unexpectedly rose to a 5-month high.  The market remains cautious about the pace of Fed easing beyond Wednesday’s decision, when the Fed is expected to cut interest rates by 25 bp.  The 10-year T-note yield rose +2 bp to 4.18%.

US Oct JOLTS job openings unexpectedly rose by +12,000 to a 5-month high of 7.670 million, showing a stronger labor market than expectations of a decline to 7.117 million.

US Sep leading indicators fell -0.3% m/m, right on expectations.

The markets this week will focus on government reports and the FOMC meeting... Read more
