CLAIM OFFERHere is what you need to know on Wednesday, September 22:
Today is Fed watching day, so expect limited volatility and volume. That was certainly the case on Tuesday with some terrible volume profiles and small trading ranges. Risk was very definitely off as witnessed by the lack of a bounce among riskier meme and crypto names. China though has given things a boost this morning in the shape of Evergrande paying some interest on its debt and avoiding a default, so far. We have said that China is unlikely to let it default, but stranger things have happened and investors had been growing nervous. Last time we looked, Evergrande shares in Germany were trading over 40% higher.
The dollar is flat at 1.1730 versus the euro, Oil higher at $71.40, Bitcoin is higher at $42,100, and gold is flat at $1,774. Vix continues lower to 22 now.
European markets are higher: Dax +0.75, FTSE +1.8% and EuroStoxx +1.6%.
US futures are higher: Dow and S&P both +0.6%, while the Nasdaq is +0.4%.
