UNLOCK OFFERHere is what you need to know on Wednesday, June 16:
Equity markets remain on hold until the Fed meeting later on Wednesday. Speculation and concern have been mounting over talk of tapering and penciling in earlier than expected interest rate rises. The recent data sets of US PPI and retail sales have given further fuel to bears but despite this VIX and yields remain subdued.
Meme stocks suffer from the risk of profile on Tuesday. Perhaps the retail bunch are also nervous over Fed policy. More likely, nothing can go up forever, and the rally eventually had to run out of steam. Some new toys are found with Arrival (ARVL) surging 20% in Wednesdays premarket and AMC still registering gains as another big options expiry looms on Wednesday.
European markets are flat with only the Dax showing any interest in moving, down 0.1%.
US futures are also flat, the Nasdaq being the biggest mover up 0.1%, everything on hold!
