Ultimately an Uneventful Week Despite Micro-Volatility
Fri, Jun 21 2024, 4:41 PM
This morning featured an overnight rally driven by weakness in European PMI data and a logical sell-off following much stronger PMI data in the U.S. Specifically, S&P Global’s Services PMI rose to the highest level in more than 2 years. This is some of the earliest available data for the month of June and the burden of refutation is on incoming data that is week’s away (for instance, next week’s headline report, PCE, is still for the month of May). Today’s selling never got out of hand, however, and that meant the week as a whole was wholly uneventful in the bigger picture.
