- US stocks open moderately higher
- The 10-year Treasury yield eased slightly
- Eli Lilly (LLY.US) stock price moves higher after analysts upgrade
US indices launched today’s session slightly higher, attempting to rebound from the worst sell-off since May in the previous session as Treasury yields retreated slightly. The debt ceiling debate in Washington has also weighed on market sentiment. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Congress has until October 18 to raise or suspend the debt ceiling and that failure to do so would have severe consequences for the economy. Apart from that, heads of 4 major central banks will take part in a panel discussion at ECB Forum today at 4:45 PM BST - ECB Lagarde, Fed Powell, BoJ Kuroda and BoE Bailey which may cause additional volatility on the markets.
US100 launched today’s session higher, however buyers failed to break above major resistance at 14,900 pts and index pulled back towards support at 14,710 pts where August lows are located. Should a break lower occur, then the downward correction may deepen. Source: xStation5
