Indices are struggling to extend their historic winning streak to 10 sessions today as mounting anxiety regarding the upcoming Fed meeting coincides with a lack of trade deal progress. Investors are concerned that a widely expected pause by the Fed this Wednesday may disappoint the Commander in Chief, who has been vocally calling for lower borrowing costs. Meanwhile, tariffs are a significant focus and while President Trump has signaled the potential for several agreements in the coming days, persistent tensions between Washington and Beijing have traders opting for a half-glass-empty perspective at the moment. Furthermore, a light economic calendar featuring a hotter-than-projected ISM services print consisting of elevated price pressures failed to spark animal spirits, sending yields north instead. Market participants are responding to the uncertainty by scooping up safe-haven gold bars, volatility protection instruments, equity index put options and forecast contracts while they sell stocks, Treasuries, greenback futures and cyclical commodities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Services Sector Expanded in April<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Recovering demand and growing business activity supported progress in the services sectors last month. The Institute for Supply Management\u2019s (ISM) Purchasing Managers\u2019 Index came in at 51.6, above the median estimate of 50.6 and March\u2019s 50.8. The production and new orders components drove the beat with scores of 53.7 and 52.3 but levels below the contraction\/expansion threshold of 50 in employment, exports and backlogs hurt the headline. Those segments arrived at 49, 48.6 and 48. The prices paid segment also disappointed, ramping up to 65.1, the loftiest since February 2023, marking a 26-month high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Stocks Climb from Morning Lows<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Stocks are well off their lows as the bulls look like they\u2019re trying to engineer an intraday recovery to preserve the winning streak. The major domestic equity benchmarks are now mixed with the Dow Jones Industrial up 0.1%, the Russell 2000 flat and the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 down 0.3% each. Sectoral breadth is negative, with 7 out of 11 segments losing on the session. The energy, consumer discretionary and utilities components are trimming the most; they\u2019re retreating 1.7%, 0.8% and 0.4%. Industrials, communication services and real estate are bucking the trend, however, with those spaces climbing 0.5%, 0.3% and 0.2%. Treasuries and the greenback are being sold with the 2- and 10-year Treasury maturities changing hands at 3.84% and 4.34%, 2 and 3 basis points (bps) heavier on the day. The Dollar Index is shedding 38 bps, meanwhile, as the US currency depreciates relative to the euro, pound sterling, franc, yen and Aussie tender but appreciates against the yuan and loonie. Cyclical commodities are trading lower but safe-haven metals are gaining, with crude oil, lumber and copper down 3.2%, 0.8% and 0.2% while gold and silver advance 2.1% and 0.7%. WTI crude is trading at near its lowest in over 4 years of $56.45 per barrel as OPEC+ production increases bolster the supply outlook while trade tensions weigh on demand prospects.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Economy Appears to Be Solid<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The first few economic reports we receive for the month of April are pivotal because they provide crucial information on how second quarter momentum is shaping. So far, last week\u2019s prints together with this morning\u2019s recovery in ISM-services point to an economy that remains on solid footing. But outside of today\u2019s data, this Wednesday\u2019s Fed meeting, weekly unemployment claims and quarterly productivity, the domestic calendar is pretty quiet, placing the focus squarely on monetary policy and international negotiations. Finally, an incrementally dovish Fed that conveys concerns over softening labor conditions coinciding with a trade deal or two by Friday will likely offer further gains for equity investors. However, a central bank that communicates heightened worries of the potential for tariff-induced inflation alongside 0 cross-border agreements may result in stocks taking a break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
International Roundup<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Singapore Retail Sales Fall Relative to February<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
March retail sales in Singapore fell 2.8% month over month (m\/m) after climbing 3% in February. For the year-over-year (y\/y) metric, sales climbed 1.1% following a 3.5% decline in the second month of the year. When compared to February, increases were limited to the following three categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Watches and jewelry, up 8.6%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Recreational goods, up 5.6%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Department stores, up 4.8%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The motor vehicle category recorded the largest decline with sales contracting 12.4%. The other category declined 11.3% and the third-largest drop was optical goods and books, which sank 7.7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The separate index for the food and beverage sector sank 3.2% and 2.8% m\/m and y\/y, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eurozone Sentiment Strengthens but Remains Negative<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Sentix Investor Confidence Index improved from -19.5 for April to -8.1 and was stronger than the consensus estimate of -14.9. Additionally, the current situation gauge climbed from -23.3 to -19.3 and the expectations metric moved into positive territory with a May score of 3.8, up from -15.8. Sentix commented that the results imply investors no longer anticipate the economy is heading for recession. Sentix also believes the improved sentiment is a result of the European Commission responding appropriately to Trump tariffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
