Dow Jones Futures Today: Biden Infrastructure Plan
Ahead of the stock market open Wednesday, Dow Jones futures edged lower vs. fair value, while S&P 500 futures rose 0.2% vs. fair value. Nasdaq 100 futures traded up 0.65% vs. fair value.
On Wednesday, Biden is set to unveil a $2 trillion spending package focused on boosting infrastructure. The plan will raise the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28% to help pay for it.
Early Wednesday, the 10-year Treasury yield eased to 1.719% after hitting a 14-month high on Tuesday at 1.765%.
Among exchange traded funds, the Innovator IBD 50 (FFTY) rose 2.4% Tuesday. Nasdaq 100 tracker Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (QQQ) rallied 0.5% early Wednesday, while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) edged lower in premarket trade.
Stock Market Rally: Nasdaq Set For Another Test?
Amid the current stock market rally, the Dow Jones Industrial Average eased from all-time highs Tuesday, while the S&P 500 index declined for a second straight day.
Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq remains below its key 50-day moving average. The Nasdaq will need to overcome this key hurdle in order to maintain its upward trajectory. The 50-day line is a critical potential resistance level. If the Nasdaq decisively clears it, then new highs could be on the horizon.
Tuesday's Big Picture commented, "Giddy optimism has certainly fallen since the highflying days of GameStop (GME), AMC Entertainment (AMC), BlackBerry (BB) and other beaten-down names that became the rallying cry of WallStreetBets on Reddit. The put-call volume ratio has recently jumped to 0.76 from its year-to-date low of 0.46. This means for every 100 buyers of bullish calls, 76 bearish puts got traded. Some observers believe call option buying has subsided, pushing up this ratio."
Despite a resumed uptrend, the stock market's choppiness has made it hard to make progress. Given such difficulty, it's best to maintain a more conservative stance until the market proves its recent strength isn't fleeting.
