Market Drivers – European Session 08-11-2021

The European session was largely quiet on Monday.

Stock futures were mixed in early morning trading after US market indices closed at record levels on Friday after better-than-expected non-farm payrolls report for October.

Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Production Index rose 85 points, while the S&P 500 Index settled, and Nasdaq futures traded marginally lower.

The moves in futures trading came after the US House of Representatives late Friday passed a more than $1 trillion infrastructure bill.

Gold rose in Monday morning trading in Asia, hitting its highest level in two months. The dollar also gave the yellow metal a boost.

“Policy path outlined in September dot plot would be consistent with Fed’s framework if current inflation and jobs forecasts are met.”

“Repeat of 2021 inflation next year would not be a policy success.”

“Core PCE inflation measured since Feb. 2020, before the pandemic, through Sept. 2021 already averaging 2.8%.”
