Futures Are on a 3 day High Streak...

US Futures Point Higher Again at the Open....


U.S. stocks are set to push higher at the open Tuesday, continuing Monday’s strong gains, on tentative signs the spread of coronavirus is slowing as well as talk of more funds to support the battered economy.

At 7:00 AM ET (1100 GMT), futures for the S&P 500 traded 89 points, or 3.4%, higher, futures for the Nasdaq up 251 points, or 3.1%. The Dow futures contract rose 817 points, or 3.6%. 

Wall Street closed firmly higher Monday, with all three major cash indices up over 7%, the best session out of the last nine.

The number of Covid-19 cases in the U.S. have continued to rise, with Johns Hopkins University Tuesday registering over 368,000 cases, and nearly 11,000 deaths. However, there has been some positive news out of New York, the epicentre of the U.S. outbreak, as Governor Andrew Cuomo said late Monday the virus-related fatality rate was effectively flat for two days.

This is supported by further evidence that the virus has peaked in many countries in Europe, with some starting to present their 'exit strategy' from the strict lockdown measures. Also, for the first time since January, China reported no daily deaths

US China Tensions with Tik Tok...

https://dz.wordpress.com/tag/erica-villalon/ Wall Street was set to pull back on Tuesday as President Donald Trump's moves to force China-owned TikTok into a sale of its U.S. operations drew a sharp rebuke from Beijing, ratcheting up tensions as the world slides into a pandemic-fueled recession. Friction between the world's top two economies took a back seat in the first half of 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic crushed global growth, and an escalation now would hamper the recovery of some exporters and importers and fan fears of a deeper economic slump. With  Microsoft Corp  (O: MSFT ) looking to buy short-video app TikTok's U.S. operations, Trump said on Monday the U.S. government should get a "substantial portion" of any deal price. On Tuesday, state-backed newspaper China Daily said the country will not accept the "theft" of the technology company. Microsoft's shares were down 1.6% in premarket trading after surging more than 5% on Monday as the comp

S&P 500 is Flat...

  Erica Villalon Trading Desk The S&P 500 was little changed on Tuesday following a three-day rally as a drop in Apple shares (NASDAQ: AAPL ) overshadowed optimism from remarks made by U.S. and China officials in pledging firm commitment to a Phase One trade deal. The benchmark S&P 500 opened at a record high as the news eased some concerns the deal could be on shaky ground. Investors also anticipate the centerpiece event of the week - an annual conference of U.S. central bankers where Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is scheduled to speak. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq logged new closing highs on Monday, boosted by signs of progress in developing treatments and vaccines for COVID-19. The benchmark index surpassed its pre-pandemic high last week even as recent economic indicators signaled a bumpy recovery from the virus-led downturn. A survey from the Conference Board showed U.S. consumer confidence unexpectedly fell in August to a six-year low. https://www.plurk.com/ericavi
