[BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: -9.80. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -63.80.
The S&P 500 futures trade ten points, or 0.2%, below fair value to start the week, cooling off from a strong session last Friday. Lingering growth concerns might be restraining follow-through buying interest this morning.
Growth concerns have been reinforced by China reporting weaker-than-expected retail sales, industrial production, and fixed asset management data for April; India reportedly banning wheat exports over the weekend, threatening to exacerbate food shortages and rising commodity prices; and the EC lowering its 2022 growth outlook for the eurozone to 2.7% from 4.0%.
Shanghai, to be fair, will reportedly conduct a phased reopening of businesses, starting Monday. Oil prices, though, are down 1.2% to $109.11/bbl while wheat futures are up 4.3% to $12.28/bushel.
The 10-yr yield, which is sensitive to growth expectations, is currently down two basis points to 2.92%. The 2-yr yield is up one basis point to 2.60%. The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.1% to 104.44.
