Overnight Summary
The dollar stepped back from its recent high while equity futures held close to flat. European exporters improved and metals caught a modest bid.
Macro
The pause in the dollar is helpful, but one session does not establish a trend. Inflation expectations and the next labor update remain the more durable inputs.
Why it matters: A softer dollar eases a broad financial headwind without requiring a dramatic change in the growth outlook.
Markets
- Multinationals are receiving modest relative support.
- Materials and energy are improving with commodity prices.
- Rate-sensitive growth remains selective rather than broad.
Bottom Line
- Dollar weakness is a tailwind, not yet a trend.
- Commodity participation is improving.
- The next inflation print remains decisive.
Tomorrow
- Initial jobless claims.
- Retail earnings before the bell.
