Summary · why it matters

US stock futures are pointing higher this morning, with E-mini S&P 500 contracts up about 0.6% and Nasdaq-100 futures ahead by roughly the same amount, even as the US 10-year Treasury yield sits near a recent high around 4.73%. US consumer sentiment has picked up to 55.2, while year-ahead inflation expectations from the Michigan survey sit at 4.2%, hinting at some relief on the cost of living. Among top movers, Amazon.com jumped 15.32% after strong Q2 results and multiple analysts lifting price targets, while Roblox declined 26.85% after multiple downgrades and reduced bookings guidance following Q2 earnings. On the radar, a packed stretch of mega-cap tech, healthcare, and industrial earnings this week includes Advanced Micro Devices reporting on Tuesday after the close, framing sentiment around AI hardware and semiconductor spending.
