Robots Secure Over 2% Profit on Caterpillar (CAT, $205.75) Stock Decline
Stock futures were mixed on Thursday morning as the U.S. House advanced the debt ceiling bill, taking a crucial step to avoid a U.S. default. The bill was then advanced to the Senate just days ahead of the default deadline. Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average were close to unchanged, while S&P 500 futures were up 0.13% and Nasdaq 100 futures were flat. Our robots also performed close to zero. However, there were robots that earned over 2.5%. For example, the robot at Swing-Trader-2-5K-per-position-High-Volatility-Stocks-for-Active-Trading-TA-FA. The market was very sluggish, and there were no wide-ranging movements, which limited the potential for significant profits. But as we know, after prolonged consolidations, movements eventually occur.
The month of May saw a significant rally in artificial intelligence-related stocks, but outside of the tech sector, gains were harder to come by. The S&P 500 posted a modest 0.3% increase for the month, while the Dow fell nearly 3.5% due to the underperformance of companies like Nike, Walt Disney, and Chevron.
Investors are now turning their attention to the Federal Reserve's June 13-14 policy meeting as a potential market catalyst. Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker indicated that he is leaning towards skipping a rate hike at the upcoming meeting, but he mentioned that the payrolls report released on Friday could influence his decision.
In addition, there is a slew of economic data scheduled for release on Thursday, including weekly jobless claims and the purchasing managers' index.
