The Morning Bull – US Market Morning Update Friday, Jun, 12 2026
US stock futures are pointing higher this morning, with E-mini S&P 500 futures up about 0.8% and Nasdaq-100 minis gaining around 1.2%, as investors weigh hotter US inflation against still solid rate expectations. May consumer prices rose 0.5% month on month, pushing headline inflation to 4.2% and energy costs up 23.5% over the year, which means pricier gasoline and heating for households. At the same time, the 10 year Treasury yield is holding near 4.55%, suggesting markets still see a Federal Reserve hike later in the year. The key question is whether high energy costs and higher for longer rates hurt rate sensitive areas like housing and real estate more than they help energy producers and bank stocks.
With inflation running hot and rates pinned higher, focus on 67 resilient stocks with low risk scores before the next move hits.
