PMIs for August to shine a light on economy
The rally in Wall Street stocks looked set to peter out
Wednesday, with trading subdued as investors turned their attention
back to the Jackson Hole meeting of global central bankers.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 34 points,
or 0.2%, to 21,854, erasing parts of Tuesday's gain. The blue chip
benchmark on Tuesday rallied almost 200 points for its biggest gain
since April 25
(http://www.marketwatch.com/story/dow-sp-set-for-2nd-day-of-gains-as-rebound-continues-2017-08-22),
after reports President Donald Trump is making progress in shaping
a plan for tax reform.
Futures for the S&P 500 index dropped 5.05 points, or 0.2%,
to 2,447.74, while those for the Nasdaq-100 index gave up 10.50
points, or 0.2%, to 5,868.
The S&P 500 finished 1% higher on Tuesday, while the
tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index ended up 1.4%.
After the Tuesday rally, investors appeared to be in a risk-off
mood early Wednesday after U.S. President Donald Trump said late
Tuesday that he's ready to shut down the government to win funding
for a border wall with Mexico
(http://www.marketwatch.com/story/trump-threatens-shutdown-over-border-wall-funding-predicts-end-of-nafta-2017-08-22).
Trump, during a rally with his supporters in Arizona, also
warned of the possible termination of the North American Free Trade
Agreement.
Jackson Hole: An event that has been hanging over the market
this week so far, the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank's central
bank symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyo., is now only one day away. A
dearth of potential trading cues has refocused investor attention
on the meeting, which starts Thursday and runs through
Saturday.
"The conference comes at a critical moment for central banks,
especially the ECB and Fed," said Neil Wilson, senior market
analyst at ETX Capital, in a note.
Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen and European Central
Bank President Mario Draghi are among top speakers on Friday, with
investors hoping to get hints on the future monetary policy path
from both institutions.
"After years of accommodation, the dial is shifting, albeit
glacially," Wilson said. "We're about to enter uncharted water:
unwinding QE has never been done before, but it's about to be tried
on markets that have this year exhibited a degree of calm that is
worrisome when you consider what may be coming."

event, with the ICE Dollar down 0.1% at 93.414.
