S&P 500 Hits Record Ahead of PCE Data

View descriptionShare

The S&P 500 rose 0.3% to a record Thursday after data showed the US economy expanded faster than initially estimated, highlighting the resilience of consumer spending. While that soothed recession jitters, it raised doubts about the upcoming inflation report, which is expected to show core personal consumption expenditures prices rising 2.9% in July, the fastest pace in five months. We look ahead to the July PCE numbers - and what they could mean for Fed policy - with Alonso Munoz, Chief Investment Officer at Hamilton Capital Partners.

Meanwhile, shares opened lower in Japan and Australia while South Korea climbed. Oil fell 0.6% after gaining in the previous session on waning prospect of a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. The yen held steady against the dollar. We discuss the potential rollover effect of Friday's US inflation data on global markets with Raj Singh, Multi Asset Portfolio Manager at Principal Asset Management. He speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Avril Hong on The Asia Trade.
