The Day Ahead

ET, expected to show narrowing deficit. ADP Employment Change Weekly and EIA Short-Term Energy Outlook add context mid-morning. API Weekly Crude Oil Stocks close the session at 12:30 p.m.
ET. Markets will parse housing and external trade for clues on consumer resilience before tomorrow’s inflation prints.
Other Economic Notes
Unemployment at 4.30 percent continues to reflect gradual labor-market cooling without sharp deterioration. Fed Funds Rate steady at 3.62 percent anchors policy expectations around data dependence. Housing and trade figures today will test whether recent equity gains rest on solid domestic demand or merely rotation into growth names.
Energy outlook release may influence inflation views given WTI volatility.

Middle East tensions lifted USD Index near 100.00 while boosting Fed hike speculation in cross markets. China’s May exports rose 19.4 percent despite regional disruptions, offering indirect support for US trade partners.
