The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) today is up +1.01%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI) (DIA) is up +0.46%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) is up +2.39%. June E-mini S&P futures (ESM26) are up +1.00%, and June E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQM26) are up +2.40%.
Stock indexes are moving higher today, recovering some of last Friday’s selloff. Strength in chipmakers and AI-infrastructure stocks is leading the push higher today. Stocks added to their gains today after WTI crude oil prices (CLN26) fell from their highs when Iran said its current military operation against Israel had ended.
Crude oil prices initially jumped more than +4% today on a flare-up in hostilities between Iran and Israel that threatens to derail a truce and complicate negotiations to end the war. Israel said it struck several military targets in Iran today, retaliating against missile attacks by Iran, and the Tasnim News Agency reported that Iran said it is prepared for a long-term war with Israel and for strikes on American interests. However, crude prices gave up most of their gains when Iran signaled an end to its current military operations against Israel, and President Trump said the two sides were looking to agree to an immediate ceasefire.
The markets are discounting a 3% chance of a +25 bp rate hike at the next FOMC meeting on June 16-17.
Overseas stock markets are mixed today. The Euro Stoxx 50 fell to a 2-week low and is down -0.02%. China's Shanghai Composite dropped to a 2-month low and closed down -1.70%. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average slid to a 2-week low and closed down -3.85%.
Interest Rates
September 10-year T-notes (ZNU6) today are down -3.5 ticks, and the 10-year T-note yield is up +1.8 bp to 4.548%. Sep T-note prices fell to a 2-week low today, and the 10-year T-note yield climbed to a 2-week high of 4.580%. T-notes have some negative carryover from last Friday’s stronger-than-expected increase in US May nonfarm payrolls and a sharp upside revision to April nonfarm payrolls, bolstering speculation that the next Fed move will be an interest rate increase. Also, today’s stock recovery has curbed safe-haven demand for T-notes. In addition, supply pressures are bearish for T-notes as the Treasury will auction $119 billion of T-notes and T-bonds this week, beginning with Tuesday’s $58 billion auction of 3-year T-notes.
Losses in T-notes are limited after crude oil prices gave up sharp overnight gains when President Trump said Iran and Israel are “looking to do” an immediate ceasefire.
European government bond yields are moving higher today. The 10-year German Bund yield climbed to a 2-week high of 3.073% and is up +2.2 bp to 3.061%. The 10-year UK gilt yield rose to a 2-week high of 4.958% and is up +3.5 bp to 4.938%.
