(Sharecast News) – Stocks on Wall Street were moving higher in early trading, bouncing back from their worst week since March.
Fedspeak was in focus after Federal Reserve Governor, Michel Bowman, said she expected further interest rate hikes to be needed to return inflation back to the central bank’s 2% target.
Bowman had said the same at another meeting during the weekend, adding that besides consistent evidence that price growth was headed back to target, she would also be watching for signs of slower consumption and a looser jobs market.
As of 1453 BST, the Dow Jones Industrials was adding 0.74% to 35,318.02, alongside a 0.5% advance for the S&P 500 to 4,500.58.
In parallel, the yield on the benchmark 10-year US Treasury note was up by three basis points to 4.071%.
No major economic reports were scheduled to be published on Monday.
For later in the week, the main risk event for markets would be the July Consumer Price Index that was due out on Thursday, 10 June.
