Late in the Friday afternoon, September E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are trading substantially higher. Expectations of a less rapid pace of future interest rate increases beginning in September are the driving forces behind the rally. The present spending binge was spurred by earlier in the week's weaker-than-anticipated consumer and producer inflation numbers.
September E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are now trading at 33634, up 330 or +0.99%, at 18:58 GMT. Currently trading at $337.81, the SPDR Dow Jones industrial average ETF is up $4.10 or +1.23%.
Optimism was also fueled by statistics indicating that U.S. consumer confidence increased in August after hitting a record low this summer and that American consumers' expectations for inflation in the near term decreased once again as a result of falling gasoline costs.
The banking sector is up approximately 1.4% to continue its gain for a sixth consecutive week, according to stock market reports. JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., two Dow components, are up 1.66% and 0.61%, respectively. Walt Disney and Merck & Co. are poised to record the session's biggest increases.
The daily swing chart indicates that the overall trend is upward. The rise resumed after the transaction passed 33625. The uptrend will be confirmed if a move is made through the next key top at 34011. When a transaction passes over 32342, the primary trend will turn downward.
35405 to 29639 is the primary range. The support that is dictating the short-term direction of the market is between 33202 to 32522, which is the strong side of the market's retracement zone.
