By Anna Isaac Close Anna Isaac Updated June 30, 2020 6:13 am ET U.S. stock futures drifted down Tuesday as investors gauged the risks posed by fresh lockdowns to the economic recovery and rebalanced portfolios on the final day of the second quarter while locking in gains.
Fresh data pointing to a strengthening recovery in China’s manufacturing sector was clouded by investors trying to determine whether governments’ new restrictions could be enough to prevent health-care systems from being overwhelmed, while posing less of an economic cost than prior shutdowns. A gauge of U.S. consumer confidence, measured by the Conference Board, is likely to offer fresh insights into American households’ willingness to spend money and drive the economic recovery. That reading is due out at 10 a.m. ET.
“Authorities have much more experience now than in March and April,” said Holger Schmieding, chief economist at Berenberg Bank. “Targeted measures such as closing crowded bars and face masks, plus a change in behavior, will avoid a New York or Northern Italy-style overstretch of the health care systems,” which is the key risk facing financial markets, he said.
Brent crude futures, the international oil benchmark, fell 1% to $41.43 a barrel. U.S. crude futures fell 1.4%, to $39.17 a barrel.
