Futures: Dow down 0.31%, S&P up 0.05%, Nasdaq up 0.51%
June 13 (Reuters) -Futures tracking the Nasdaq leapt on Thursday on gains in heavyweight technologystocks, aidedby broadly unchanged bets on the Federal Reserve easing interest rates in September despite the central bank projecting just one cut this year.
Investor sentiment got a boost fromsofter-than-expected inflation data and Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's acknowledgement that progress had been made in tackling price pressures.
While marketstrimmed bets on a September start to rate cuts, they still expect an over 60% chanceof that happening, according to the CME's FedWatch tool. Interestrate traders are pricing in nearly two 25 basis point cuts, according toLSEG data FEDWATCH.
"Ultimately, whether there are one or two rate cuts this year matters much less than the overall path of policy rates, the FOMC remains entirely data-dependent, but it acknowledges that policy must stop being restrictive before it harms the economy," said Paolo Zanghieri, senior economist at Generali Investments.
"We do not think that the current meeting rules out our expectation of two rate cuts this year," Zanghieri said.
