The US CPI is now out of the way so markets can return to looking for fresh highs. The worries over inflation had been holding risk back for the last number of sessions, but now investors can put those worries to one side. Futures did a nice little dip just on the release of the data but already are powering higher, signalling new record highs are imminent. In other news, the ECB decided to unsurprisingly leave rates unchanged and continues to buy a truckload of bonds in tandem with every other major central bank. Inflation may be ticking up, but the ECB must keep the pandemic measure in place. The Bank of England yesterday said the economy was going "gangbusters," and Thursday sees the first Bank of England rate hike brought forward by analysts.
The dollar dusts off any inflation worries and is unchanged at 1.2185 versus the euro despite a little pop in the 10-year yield to 1.52%. Oil finally breaks above $70 for WTI, while Gold is at $1,892. Bitcoin is steady again (can you believe we are saying that?) at $37,700.
European markets are modestly higher, the euro Stoxx and Dax are flat, while the FTSE is +0.3%.
US futures are now higher. S&P and Nasdaq are +0.4%, while the Dow is +0.5%.
