U.S. STOCKS TRY TO REBOUND
U.S. stocks are higher early on Monday, rebounding from a week of heavy losses, as investor optimism over the potential for a soft landing for the U.S. economy resurfaces ahead of a crucial inflation report later in the week.
Last week the S&P 500 .SPX suffered its biggest weekly decline since March 2023, while the tech-laden Nasdaq Composite .IXIC tumbled its most since January 2022.
With August consumer price data expected on Wednesday, Jay Woods, chief global strategist at Freedom Capital Markets, is saying in his weekly market letter that "Traders are bracing to see if the soft landing - where the Fed moves inflation down toward its 2% goal while keeping unemployment under control - will be possible."
Woods adds that "The Fed will begin landing this plane in the form of interest rate cuts," and that "Prior to this expected first cut, the market continues to struggle for a direction and has shown signs of recent turbulence in the face of seasonal headwinds."
Early on Monday, nearly all S&P 500 sectors are higher with consumer discretionary .SPLRCD posting the biggest rise. The utilities .SPLRCU sector is slightly red.
Chips .SOX, FANGs .NYFANG, and big banks .SPXBK are among outperformers.
Meanwhile, Apple AAPL.O shares are trading off about 0.5%. This as investors focus on the likely launch of new iPhones at the company's 'Glowtime' event on Monday.
Here is a snapshot of where markets stood just shortly after 1005 EDT/1405 GMT:
