Find winning stocks in any market cycle. Join 7 million investors using Simply Wall St’s investing ideas for FREE.
US stock futures are nudging higher this morning, with E-mini S&P 500 contracts up about 0.04% and Dow futures up around 0.15%, as investors balance soft global growth signals against rising bond yields and geopolitical risk. Fresh purchasing manager surveys from the UK and eurozone are hovering just above 50, a level that suggests private sector activity is barely growing. Input costs for businesses in Europe are at multi year highs, which keeps pressure on the cost of living. At the same time, the US 10 year Treasury yield is around 4.35%, a reminder that borrowing stays expensive for rate sensitive areas like housing and real estate funds. More globally exposed industrials and exporters sit in the spotlight as investors weigh whether weak overseas demand will start to filter through to US earnings.
With bond yields staying high and growth signals soft, focus on 68 resilient stocks with low risk scores before volatility spikes.
