US futures maintained a stable trajectory during early trading on Wednesday, showing no significant deviation from previous levels.
Despite the release of inflation figures exceeding expectations, Tuesday's market closure concluded on a positive note, buoyed by Wall Street's bullish sentiment towards technology stocks such as Oracle and Nvidia.
Continuing the momentum from Tuesday's record-setting session where the S&P 500 reached new highs, US futures exhibited stability as the market approached opening. S&P 500 futures remained largely unchanged following the previous day's surge, recording a gain of 1.1%.
While Nasdaq 100 futures experienced a marginal decline of 0.14%, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures showed minimal activity.
This stability extended to other market indicators, with ten-year treasury yields and the US Dollar Index holding steady.
Despite concerns raised by the consecutive increase in February's Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, investor sentiment remained resilient, driven by the persistent preference for tech stocks over apprehensions regarding potential Federal Reserve interest rate adjustments.
Renowned chart analyst David Keller expressed optimism about the market's outlook, suggesting the potential for the S&P 500 to reach new record highs by year-end, contingent upon favorable financial conditions, particularly stable interest rates.
Keller underscored historical trends, highlighting the possibility of a year-end rally in US stocks, supported by diminishing inflationary pressures and expectations of fewer interest rate hikes.
While Keller maintained a cautious stance regarding potential market fluctuations, he also identified investment opportunities, particularly in select stocks and an exchange-traded fund (ETF).
Tuesday's trading session witnessed notable gains for mega-cap tech companies like Oracle and Nvidia, with the latter experiencing a significant surge in value.
Market observers will closely monitor forthcoming economic indicators, including the producer price index, initial jobless claims, retail sales, and business inventory reports, for further insights into the economy's performance.
As earning reports from companies such as Dollar Tree and Lennar are awaited, investors are advised to remain vigilant and stay abreast of market developments.
