Stocks Tick Higher After Wall Street Flirts with Another Record
Investors expect the Federal Reserve to cut rates by 0.25% next week due to slowing job growth and inflation concerns, with some speculating a 0.5% cut possibility.
- Markets opened higher Monday as Wall Street investors bet the Federal Reserve will cut rates next week, reflecting a broader shift toward easing expectations in U.S. stock markets.
- Weak hiring reports pushed investors to reassess after nonfarm payrolls showed just 22,000 new jobs and private-sector payroll diffusion index indicated softer hiring, with U.S. Labor Department job revisions due Tuesday.
- Futures trading showed gains, with S&P 500 futures up 0.25% and the 10-year Treasury yield falling to 4.05% from 4.10% late Friday, easing funding costs.
- Consensus forecasters expect a 0.25% cut, but just under 10% in the CME Fed Funds futures market speculate a 0.5% cut; PPI and CPI reports on September 11, 2025, will influence timing.
- Fed officials face a trade-off between jobs and inflation as they decide, with Pantheon Macroeconomics forecasting three cuts this year and Wedbush's Seth Basham forecasting two before the Federal Reserve's pivotal Sept. 16 and 17 meeting.
