European & U.S. Futures Kick-off – Mixed Signals into a Crucial Week for Global Markets

• Nasdaq 100 futures +0.15%
• S&P 500 futures +0.1%
• Dow Jones futures +13 points

Why the Market is Watching the Fed So Closely

The Federal Reserve December rate cut probability 2025 has now crossed 80% on the CME Fed Watch Tool after dovish remarks from Mary Daly and John Williams. A potential Federal Reserve rate cut would act as fresh stimulus, especially for rate-sensitive AI stocks and growth names.

Today’s Key Data That Could Move Markets

Investors are laser-focused on upcoming releases, particularly the Core PPI and Retail Sales impact on markets. Any softer-than-expected numbers could cement expectations for easing and spark another leg higher in stock market futures.

What’s Really Driving This Week’s Price Action

The modest uptick in stock market futures reflects two powerful forces colliding: renewed buying in AI stocks and growing conviction in a Federal Reserve rate cut. After a brutal start to November that left the S&P 500 down 2% and Nasdaq Composite off 3.6% month-to-date, Monday’s tech-led surge – powered by Alphabet’s 6.3% jump and Broadcom’s 11% leap – has reignited year-end rally hopes.

Market participants are now pricing in more than an 80% chance of a December Fed cut, with every dovish comment from officials like Mary Daly and John Williams adding fuel to the fire. Rate-sensitive sectors, especially technology and growth stocks, stand to benefit the most if borrowing costs ease further.

Today’s Core PPI and upcoming Retail Sales numbers will be pivotal. Softer inflation or weaker consumer spending would almost certainly lock in that December cut and could trigger another sharp leg higher in Nasdaq 100 futures and broader indices. Conversely, any upside surprise risks reigniting inflation fears and capping the current rebound.

For now, global market analysis points to cautious optimism: AI stocks remain the clear leaders, small-caps (Russell 2000 +1.9% yesterday) are showing relative strength, and European indices are following Wall Street’s cue higher. With only a handful of trading days left in November, the path of least resistance appears upward – provided this week’s data cooperates.

Final Levels (25 Nov 2025)

• S&P 500 performance: 6,705 (+1.5%)
• Nasdaq Composite: 22,872 (+2.7%)
• Dow Jones: 46,448 (+0.4%)

Despite November still being negative month-to-date, the combination of AI stocks resilience and the rising Federal Reserve rate cut odds keeps year-end optimism alive. Savvy traders continue to rely on global market analysis provided daily by MH Markets Forex broker.
