The Morning Bull – US Market Morning Update Wednesday, Jun, 24 2026
US stock futures are pointing lower this morning, with E mini S&P 500 contracts down about 1.5% and Nasdaq 100 futures off roughly 2.8%, as investors weigh weaker global growth signals against a firm interest rate backdrop. Across Europe, key business surveys such as the Euro Area composite PMI sit below 50 at 49.5, which means private sector activity is still shrinking, while UK services have slipped further into contraction at 48.7. At the same time, the US 10 year Treasury yield is holding near 4.5%, keeping borrowing costs high. That mix puts rate sensitive areas, such as tech and smaller US companies, in focus as investors ask whether steady inflation pressures and softer global demand justify current stock valuations.
With rate sensitive stocks under pressure, quickly narrow your focus to 67 resilient stocks with low risk scores that prioritize resilience right now.
