Markets are setting up for a higher open this morning as optimism builds around earnings, rate cuts, and improving trade sentiment between the U.S. and China. Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s dovish comments have reignited expectations for rate cuts at the two remaining Fed meetings this year. Meanwhile, eyes are on the upcoming APEC Summit where Beijing is expected to seek key concessions from Washington. On the earnings front, positive results from ASML, BAC, CFG, and PNC are helping to lift sentiment ahead of tomorrow’s lineup from TSM, SCHW, MMC, BK, and TRV. Plus, all eyes turn to this afternoon’s release of the Fed’s Beige Book for insights into regional economic activity.
