Slowing U.S. inflation to catalyse 2H24 market sentiment?
U.S. indices declined on Friday, as investors digested the latest personal consumption expenditures (PCE) data, indicating slowing inflation and stronger-than-expected consumer sentiment. May's inflation hit its lowest annual rate in over three years. Core PCE, excluding food and energy, rose 0.1% month-on-month, and 2.6% year-on-year, aligning with Dow Jones consensus estimates. The CME Group FedWatch Tool shows a 57.8% probability of a rate cut at the Fed’s September meeting.
➡️ The S&P 500 Index hit a record intraday high above 5,520 before finishing 0.4% lower, at 5,460.49. It gained 14.5% in H1 2024, boosted by artificial intelligence (AI) sentiment.
➡️ The Nasdaq-100 Index also reached a record high intraday, above the 20,000 level before losing steam to end 0.5% lower at 19,682.87. The tech-heavy index recorded a whopping 17% gain for 1H2024 also driven by the surge in tech stocks on the back of the AI race.
➡️ The Dow Jones Industrial Average ticked 0.1% lower on Friday, closing at 39,118.87. It still recorded a 3.8% surge for 1H2024 despite having a 1.7% pullback in 2Q2024.

💡 Importance of liquidity when choosing a warrant
A market maker provides liquidity in warrants by delivering continuous buy and sell quotes on the market. The liquidity of a warrant determines how quickly an investor can enter and exit a position in that warrant, making it an important factor when selecting a warrant.
Macquarie provides volumes of up to 12mil units on each of the bid and offer, depending on the underlying and whether a warrant is a focus warrant or otherwise.
