Dow futures live price rose to 38

Dow futures live price rose to 38,580 in anticipation of key consumer confidence numbers. Traders expect moderate intraday volume spikes around the release, with the potential to push levels toward 38,650 if data beats forecasts. With the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) confirming that the government shutdown will delay the release of key economic data, today's JOLTS report might be the last 'on time' report that we see for awhile. The dollar index, which gauges the greenback's performance against six rival currencies including the euro and the Japanese yen , lost 0.2% to trade at 97.54. The move put the benchmark down 10% for 2025. That would mark the U.S. currency's biggest annual loss since 2003 — when it fell 14.6%. Dow futures live price held firm at 38,550 after steady industrial production numbers. Portfolio managers noted increased ETF inflows, a sign of broad-based confidence despite a softening in consumer sentiment indices.
