Yahoo Finanza E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM) Futures Technical Analysis – Stronger Over 34607, Weaker Under 34499
June E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are trading higher shortly after the mid-session on Thursday, but struggling to hold on to its earlier gains. The volatile trading session suggests investors are still on the fence about what today’s higher-than-expected consumer inflation report means to the Federal Reserve’s next monetary policy decision on June 16.
At 17:51 GMT, June E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are trading 34556, up 119 or +0.35%.
Consumer prices for May increased at their fastest clip in nearly 13 years as inflation pressures continued to accelerate in the U.S. economy, the Labor Department reported Thursday.
Treasury yields initially moved higher after the report but drifted lower as morning trading continued. The dip in yields still wasn’t enough for the Dow to hold on to most of its earlier gains.
Investors have been concerned about whether rising inflation could see the Federal Reserve taper its asset purchases or start to talk about raising interest rates. However, the Fed has emphasized that price pressures are transitory, as the economy reopens and recovers from the coronavirus pandemic.
