U.S. stock index futures edged lower on Wednesday after warnings of a looming recession from major Wall Street bankers offset optimism around the easing of China’s strict zero-COVID rules.
Top executives at Goldman Sachs Group Inc, JPMorgan Chase & Co and Bank of America Corp said on Tuesday that inflation would erode consumer spending power and a mild to more pronounced recession was likely ahead.
Investors see a 91% chance that the Fed will increase its key benchmark rate by 50 basis point in December to 4.25-4.50%, with the rates peaking in May 2023 at 4.97%.
More economic data, including weekly jobless claims, producer price index and the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment survey this week, will be on the watch list for clues on what to expect from the Fed on Dec. 14.
