Dow futures today are cautiously higher
Dow futures today are cautiously higher, driven by investor expectation that the Fed could adopt a wait-and-see approach on rates. This has pushed defensive stocks and dividend-rich Dow components into focus. For the time being, Wall Street appears to be overlooking the anticipated economic consequences of the government shutdown. The potential for a significant impact on growth increases with the duration of the shutdown, particularly for businesses that depend on the federal government’s regular operations. In addition to the drop in September, the August payrolls number was revised to a loss of 3,000 from an initially reported increase of 54,000. Dow futures today show strength in premarket action as tech-led gains widen. Rising semiconductor demand and AI-related investments are contributing to a stronger outlook for the Dow’s tech-heavy components.
