U.S. futures point higher after all three major Wall Street indexes surged to all-time peaks

World stocks gained on Thursday after a record rise for U.S. shares overnight, and U.S. Treasuries remained under pressure as investors processed a second Donald Trump presidency, ahead of policy decisions from the Fed and other major central banks.

Stocks are “rewarding the presumed likelihood of corporate tax cuts and perceiving a general penchant toward deregulation across industries as positive for earnings,” said Naomi Fink, chief global strategist at Nikko Asset Management. The benchmark 10 year yield was last 4.42%, flat on the day, after a 13 basis point rise Wednesday, and the 30-year yield was last 4.61%, a touch higher after the previous day’s 15 bp jump.

The day’s main scheduled macro economic event is the Federal Reserve meeting later in the day. Markets were still confident of a 25 basis-point cut on Thursday, but slightly reduced bets on further easing in December. Bitcoin caught its breath on Thursday, easing 1.3% to $74,990, following its vault to a record high $76,499.99 overnight. Trump had vowed to make the United States “the crypto capital of the planet”.
