January 9 (Archyde.com) – Wall Street is expected to fall on Tuesday and European stock markets are in the red at mid-session, dragged down by stocks in the banking sector, basic resources and semiconductors, while the he wait-and-see attitude prevails before the publication of CPI inflation in the United States on Thursday.
Futures on New York indices signal an opening on Wall Street down 0.39% for the Dow Jones, 0.4% for the Standard & Poor’s-500
and 0.55% for the Nasdaq.
In Paris, the CAC 40 fell 0.34% to 7,425.19 around 11:40 GMT. In Frankfurt, the Dax lost 0.32% and in London, the FTSE 0.01%.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index lost 0.27%, the Eurozone EuroStoxx 50 0.51% and the Stoxx 600 0.29%.
European stocks in the semiconductor sector fell on Tuesday, dragging indices into negative territory, while several competitors in Asia and America warned of an upcoming drop in their profits due to weak economic conditions. STMicroelectronics shares fell 2.34% at 11:40 GMT.
However, the macroeconomic data that should determine the direction taken by the markets this week is not expected until Thursday, with the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in the United States for December, which should determine the date when the US Federal Reserve will begin cutting interest rates.
US CPI inflation for December is expected to rise by 0.2% month-on-month and 3.2% year-on-year, according to economists polled by Archyde.com, after respectively 0.1% and 3.1% the previous month.
“Inflation has not yet returned to its target level and the Fed should not be in too much of a hurry to cut rates. The consumer price index can be quite sticky and stubborn, we expect that they start cutting rates from June,” said Marcella Chow, an analyst at JPMorgan Asset Management in Hong Kong.
Euro zone unemployment for November, released at 10:00 GMT, stood at 6.4%, slightly below the expectations of analysts polled by Archyde.com.
