The Morning Bull – US Market Morning Update Thursday, Jun, 4 2026
US stock futures are mixed this morning, with broad S&P 500 contracts slightly softer while tech linked contracts edge higher, as investors weigh three big forces. First, the OECD now expects global growth of 2.8% in 2026 and US growth of 2.0%, a signal that the world economy is still expanding but not racing ahead. Second, the US 10 year Treasury yield is holding near 4.45%, suggesting borrowing costs for mortgages, credit cards, and companies remain relatively high. Third, a 6.8 million barrel drop in US crude inventories is supporting oil prices, keeping the focus on fuel costs and inflation. The key question for investors is whether firmer energy prices and steady bond yields will pressure interest rate sensitive sectors such as real estate and utilities, or whether an ongoing global expansion, even at a slower pace, keeps growth focused areas like technology and export linked industrials in favor.
