Live Updates: US Stock Futures Rise, Bitcoin Tops $82,000, and Market Insights

US stock futures gained ground on Monday, signaling the continuation of the post-election rally as the market gears up for the release of new inflation figures.

Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 0.4%, while the S&P 500 futures climbed 0.3%. Both indexes recently posted their best performance of the year, reaching new record highs. The Nasdaq 100 futures, which track major tech stocks, also saw a 0.3% increase. The rally is driven by expectations of lower corporate taxes and fewer regulations under President-elect Donald Trump, along with the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates. However, some analysts are expressing caution about the sustainability of these gains.

The focus now turns to Wednesday’s consumer inflation report, which could provide clues on future interest rate moves. Last week, Fed Chair Jerome Powell remained tight-lipped on how Trump’s policies might affect inflation. Some concerns have emerged over the impact of proposed tariffs, which could drive up inflation and prompt the Fed to slow down further rate cuts. Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari recently stated that the central bank will need to carefully watch how other countries respond to tariffs before making any adjustments.

Currently, market watchers believe there’s a 68% chance the Fed will cut rates by another 0.25% in December, a slight decrease from nearly 80% before the election.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin surged to a new high, surpassing $82,000 for the first time ever, sparking excitement in the cryptocurrency market. The rise is fueled by expectations that the upcoming administration will create a more favorable environment for digital assets. Other cryptocurrencies, such as Dogecoin, also saw increases as traders anticipate a more crypto-friendly future in the US.

Tesla also saw a boost, with shares jumping nearly 7% in pre-market trading. The electric vehicle company’s stock hit its highest closing price in more than two years on Friday, pushing its market capitalization past $1 trillion. Optimism about CEO Elon Musk’s potential influence under the new administration is helping drive the stock’s gains.
