    Nasdaq Futures Rise as PPI Falls 0.3%; Geopolitical Tensions Support Oil Prices

    Question

    Nasdaq Futures Rise as PPI Falls 0.3%; Geopolitical Tensions Support Oil Prices

    Direct answer

    The cooler-than-expected PPI print has reinforced the narrative of a Fed pause. However, the market remains 'honest' as a rotation out of semiconductors into mega-cap tech persists. For energy-focused investors, the disinflation in PPI is being offset by geopolitical risk premiums in the crude market.
