US EARLY MORNING: US equity futures are seeing upside as Treasuries catch a bid

US PRE-MARKETS: US equity futures are finding some reprieve after a sell-off which was underpinned by higher interest rates and angst over a potential government shutdown, which CRA Moody's said could harm the country's credit ratings. Additionally, investors appear to have been using the opportunity to pare down holdings of stocks that some consider are becoming overvalued, with megacaps among the names to have dragged shares lower on Tuesday. Treasury yields are narrowing, with the long-end outperforming; on the fiscal front, the Senate voted to clear a procedural hurdle of the Senate bipartisan bill to avoid a government shutdown, while it was separately reported that the Senate short-term spending bill would fund the government through to November 17th; US House voted to start the debate on the bill to fund parts of the federal government, while US House Speaker McCarthy said a stopgap funding bill will be brought to the House floor on Friday. There are not a lot of scheduled events on today's docket, which may allow the theme of higher rates, potential Government Shutdown issues and month-end factors continue to play out.

TODAY’S AGENDA:

The Day Ahead is thin in terms of scheduled events. The US Day will see the release of weekly MBA mortgage applications data, and durable goods data for August are due before the open. EMFX traders will note the CNB rate decision, where the central bank is expected to keep rates unchanged at 7.0%. Weekly energy inventory data will be released today; API data reportedly showed headline US Crude stocks building +1.6mln in the week (exp. -0.3mln), though stocks at Cushing drew down by -0.8mln; Gasoline inventories slipped -0.1mln (exp. -0.1mln), while distillates declined by -1.7mln (exp. -1.3mln). On the supply front, UK will sell 2073 Gilts, Germany will sell 2033 Bunds, the US Treasury will sell a 5yr note and a 2yr FRN. Afterhours, traders will be on the lookout for numbers from Micron (MU). Our full interactive calendar can be accessed here; a pdf version can be downloaded here.
