Overview

  • The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite closed at record highs on June 27, and futures pointed to further gains in early trading.
  • A rare overbought technical signal on the S&P suggests the rally may be vulnerable to a pullback.
  • Optimism over U.S. trade negotiations has lifted markets ahead of the July 9 deadline for pausing reciprocal tariffs.
  • Traders have priced in Federal Reserve rate cuts later in the year following soft economic data and the confirmation of bank resilience in recent stress tests.
  • Attention now turns to upcoming U.S. non-farm payrolls, ISM sector surveys and a Senate vote on President Trump’s $4.5 trillion tax-spending bill.
