S&P 500 Futures Stall After 1.7% Jump as Brent Falls 1.3% to $82

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 16

Summary

  • S&P 500 futures were little changed after Monday’s 1.7% surge, with the US stock rally pausing before the first Federal Reserve decision under Kevin Warsh.
  • Brent crude fell 1.3% to about $82 a barrel even as warnings mounted that restoring oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz could take time.
  • Other markets also turned quieter after the prior session’s bigger swings, with the dollar flat, Treasury yields easing and Bitcoin surrendering some gains.
  • The pause across assets reflects traders shifting from risk-on momentum to waiting for policy signals from the Fed and clearer guidance on Middle East supply risks.
