Stocks Drift With U.S. Futures; WTI Crude Gains: Markets Wrap

(Bloomberg) — Stocks and U.S. futures were steady on Wednesday as traders weighed growing confidence in the global economic recovery against risks from a highly infectious coronavirus strain.

The Stoxx Europe 600 Index opened little changed, with travel firms and cruise operators among the laggards as fears of the highly contagious Delta coronavirus variant continue to spur travel curbs in the region. That comes as data showed confidence in the euro-area economy improved to the highest level in more than two decades in June.

S&P 500 futures were steady following another record close for the gauge, with figures showed U.S. consumer confidence soared in June to a fresh pandemic high. Asian equities were little changed, while Japan and Hong King dipped.

The dollar steadied with Treasury yields as traders digested the latest Fed comments. On asset purchases, Thomas Barkin said Tuesday he wants to see much more U.S. labor market progress before slowing them, while Christopher Waller said economic performance warrants thinking about pulling back on some stimulus.

Markets remain finely balanced between hopes for an imminent return to normal and fears that runaway inflation or Covid variants could derail the economic recovery. For now, stocks remain in rally mode, despite stretched valuations and the prospect of tighter monetary policy as the recovery stokes commodity prices and inflation.

“The environment in Q3 should still be supportive for risky assets, though fear of bouts of persistent inflation could alter this scenario,” Sebastien Galy, senior macro strategist at Nordea Investment Funds SA, wrote in a note. “We expect to see bouts of volatility from this.”

Elsewhere, WTI crude oil climbed back above $73 a barrel ahead of a key OPEC+ meeting that’s expected to lead to an increase in supply.
