S&P500 futures generated some gains in the London session, portraying some improvement in the risk-appetite of the market participants. US equities ended on a flat note on Wednesday amid caution about Federal Reserve’s (Fed) interest rate outlook. The US Dollar Index (DXY) corrects gradually to near 106.30 after failing to stretch rally.

Unlike other G7 economies, which are struggling for a firm footing due to their inability in coping with the consequences of higher interest rates by central bankers.

The Durable Goods Orders rose by 0.2% while investors anticipated a decline by 0.5%. In July, Orders were contracted sharply by 5.6%.

He further added, the authority is closely watching FX moves with sense of urgency.
