The Morning Bull – US Market Morning Update Tuesday, Jun, 2 2026
US stock futures are pointing slightly higher this morning, with E-mini S&P 500 contracts up about 0.2% and Nasdaq-100 futures ahead roughly 0.3%, as investors weigh stronger global manufacturing data against higher borrowing costs. Several key factory scorecards, such as the China Manufacturing PMI at 51.8 and the UK gauge at 53.9, signal production is picking up, which suggests healthier demand for goods and raw materials. At the same time, the US 10 year Treasury yield near 4.47% means loans and mortgages stay relatively expensive. The big question now is whether improving global growth can offset the pressure of higher rates for sectors like technology, industrials and real estate.
With higher rates pressuring loans and mortgages, consider 62 resilient stocks with low risk scores while others take on more volatility.
