1. Global Markets & U.S. Outlook
Global equities headed higher today, buoyed by growing investor confidence in potential interest rate cuts. U.S. futures showed positive momentum ahead of crucial inflation data. The S&P 500 and Dow futures climbed about 0.2%, while Nasdaq futures gained 0.4%, as investors prepared for upcoming CPI and PPI releases midweek. Markets are watching closely: weaker labor data has strengthened expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut at the September 16–17 meeting.
Notable movers included EchoStar, whose shares surged nearly 24% pre-market following news of a $17 billion spectrum license sale to SpaceX and a deal allowing Boost Mobile users to access Starlink Direct to Cell services. Additionally, AppLovin and Robinhood gained around 9% after being added to the S&P 500 index—another sign of reshuffling investor sentiment.
On a regional level, Asian markets enjoyed gains. Japan’s Nikkei rose 1.5% despite political uncertainty following the resignation of Prime Minister Ishiba. European markets also trended positive.

Sector-wise, auto and metals stocks led the rally:

Amid broader gains, small- and mid-cap indices outperformed, rising approximately 0.4% and 0.6% respectively.
