The S&P 500 Futures are trying to recover after they pared early gains of over 1% yesterday to close mixed. Sentiment was dampened by reports that Gilead Sciences' (GILD -4.3%) experimental drug Remdesivir might not be an effective treatment for coronavirus.
Later today, March Durable Goods Orders (preliminary reading, -11.9% on month expected) and the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Index (70.0 for April expected) will be reported.
European indices are on the downside as the European leaders failed to reach an agreement on the longer term economic rebuilding plan. Germany's IFO Business Climate Index for April was released at 74.3 (vs 80.0 expected). The U.K. Office for National Statistics has reported March retail sales at -5.1% (vs -4.0% on month expected).
Asian indices closed in the red except the Australian ASX. Government data showed that Japan's national CPI grew 0.4% on year in March (as expected).
WTI Crude Oil Futures continue to rebound. Kuwait said it will start to cut 23% oil production as of May 1, according to the official Kuwait News Agency citing Oil Minister Khaled Al-Fadhel.
Gold rose 3.16 dollars (+0.18%) to 1733.67 dollars per ounce, still remaining strong on economic fears.
The US dollar is consolidating against its major peers but is still headed for its best week since early April on falling oil prices. EUR/USD rose 17pips to 1.0794 and GBP/USD gained 20pips to 1.2364.
