U.S. stock futures fell after a two-session win streak during what is one of the strongest months for the market on average — and more in Tuesday’s stock market recap.
Oil prices rose Tuesday as Western governments consider more sanctions against Moscow after uncovering more atrocities following Russia’s withdrawal from areas near Kyiv.
Volatility is still low, indicating the markets aren’t reacting based on fear. This is both surprising and a good sign considering the magnitude of the war and its effect on global markets.
We’re seeing some choppiness in the bond market. It’s priced in the Federal Reserve’s announcement regarding interest rate hikes, and appears to be consolidating before heading higher. An upward move in the bond market, tracked by the iShares 20-Plus Year Treasury Bond ETF (Nasdaq: TLT), would provide the chance to sell it, as the long-term trend will fall as the Fed moves forward with its rate hikes.
We also have the Federal Open Market Committee Meeting minutes coming on Wednesday, which will shed more light on the Fed’s sentiment regarding rate hikes.
