This morning’s premarket shows stock index futures and commodities trading near fair value. With China stimulating its economy, global markets saw gains on Tuesday, and the VIX remains on a sell signal, supporting higher stock prices. Major U.S. indices like the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq are nearing resistance points, while Canadian markets continue to thrive with the help of commodity sectors and the banking industry.
In Canadian markets, gold, silver, and copper are seeing strong upward moves, with mining and financial sectors performing well. Many banks, such as Bank of Montreal, CIBC, and TD Bank, have hit resistance levels, with Royal Bank generating a recent sell signal. Despite some market strength, further catalysts may be needed to push stocks above their current resistance.
