Daily Brief · May 29
SPY futures extend overnight gains ahead of holiday-shortened session with light economic calendar.
Overnight Tone
Equity futures maintained constructive momentum through Asian and European sessions, building on yesterday's late-day strength. Risk-on sentiment persisted across global markets with technology names leading advances in overseas trading. European indices closed higher across the board, setting a supportive backdrop for U.S. markets.
Pre-Market Levels
SPY trades at 754.6, marking a 0.55% advance from yesterday's 750.46 close. The move extends the recent upward trajectory and positions the index near recent technical resistance levels. VIX data remains pending, though early indications suggest continued complacency in volatility markets.
Calendar Watch
No top-tier prints scheduled today.
Read for the Open
