Financial World US Stock News: U.S. stock index futures fell in pre-market trading on Friday, heralding a negative U.S. stock market this week, as the "Trump market" that has lifted the stock market in recent weeks has shown signs of losing momentum. In addition, investors are waiting for the release of non-farm data.
In addition, Italy will hold a referendum on constitutional reform on Sunday, which has also made investors cautious about risky assets. Analysts are worried that the referendum may trigger a new wave of financial turmoil within the euro zone .
Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a record high on Thursday, but Dow futures fell 29 points to 19,167, a drop of 0.2%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 futures fell 6.10 points to 2186 points, a drop of 0.3%; the Nasdaq 100 futures fell 23.75 points to 4712.75 points, a drop of 0.5%.
Among these three benchmark stock indexes, only the Dow Jones Industrial Average is expected to achieve a single-week gain in trading this week, but its gains will also be small. The S&P 500 closed down 0.4% on Thursday, down 1% this week so far. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed down 1.4% on Thursday, and is expected to fall by 3% this week, as tech companies have significant exposure to international markets, meaning the rise in the dollar's exchange rate will be more likely to hurt after Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election last month.
But overall, the U.S. stock market, U.S. Treasury yields and U.S. dollar exchange rate have all risen sharply after Trump's election, because the market expects that the Trump administration will increase infrastructure spending after it takes office, thereby driving inflation. However, analysts pointed out that the market upward trend after the election is approaching its end, with investment expert Jeffrey Gundlach pointing out that the so-called "Trump market" is "losing momentum."
Meanwhile, in terms of the upcoming Italian referendum, analysts are concerned that if the opposition wins the referendum - a result that is likely to happen from the current poll results - then the country's Prime Minister Matteo Renzi (Matteo Renzi) may resign, resulting in the collapse of the Italian government. Although the referendum was held to allow Italian citizens to vote on the proposed constitutional reform, it is widely regarded as a "vote of confidence" for Renzi.
In terms of economic data, the US Department of Labor’s non-farm employment report will be released at 8:30 am Eastern Time (9:30 pm Beijing time). Economists expect that the report will show that the number of new non-farm jobs added in November was 200,000. The report has attracted much attention from the market because it is seen as affecting the Fed's interest rate decision. Economists also expect the report to show that the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.9% in November, while the average hourly wage is expected to rise by 0.1%.
In the foreign exchange market, the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) dollar index, which is used to track the exchange rate changes of the US dollar against six major international currencies, fell 0.1% to 100.92 points.
For other events, Federal Reserve Director Lael Brainard will deliver a welcome speech at a financial innovation conference, followed by Federal Reserve Director Daniel Tarullo on financial stability. In terms of stocks, Starbucks' pre-market stock price fell 2.9%, and the company previously announced that Howard Schultz will resign as CEO in April next year. The pre-market stock prices of technology giants Facebook, Apple and Google's parent company Alphabet fell 0.8%, 0.7% and 0.5% respectively.
Other markets: Crude oil prices fell nearly 1%, reversing the sharp rise trend in the previous two trading days due to the OPEC (OPEC) reaching a production cut agreement. Gold prices rose 0.4%, while most other metals showed a downward trend.
