US Dollar Drops as GDP Miss and Core PCE Jump Cloud Fed Cut Bets

US Dollar Drops as GDP Miss and Core PCE Jump Cloud Fed Cut Bets

The dollar slid on Thursday, following a first-quarter GDP read that missed estimates—even as core inflation edged higher, muddying the takeaway from the headline growth numbers and complicating the Federal Reserve picture. According to XTB, weaker GDP figures weighed on the greenback despite evidence of mounting price pressures. This lands just hours after the Fed left rates pinned at 3.5%-3.75%, with policymakers divided on whether the statement should keep hinting at potential rate cuts. The central bank called inflation “elevated” and flagged that turmoil in the Middle East brings “a high level of uncertainty” to its outlook.

Gas Prices Hit $4.30: Why America’s Oil Boom Isn’t Saving Drivers

New York — April 30, 2026, 08:01 EDT Gasoline across the U.S. jumped to an average of $4.30 a gallon on Thursday—marking the priciest level since almost four years back. A mix of the Iran war, shrinking fuel inventories, and refinery snags forced crude costs higher, feeding straight into pump prices. That’s piling extra strain on consumers right ahead of peak summer driving.

US Stock Market Today: Futures Rise Before GDP as Big Tech Earnings Split Wall Street

US Stock Market Before the Open Today: Oil Shock, Fed Split and Big Tech Earnings Put AI Rally on Trial

U.S. equity futures ticked lower ahead of Thursday’s session, pressured by another surge in oil that managed to overshadow upbeat cloud numbers from Alphabet and Amazon. Investors are left weighing the durability of the AI-driven run as inflation jitters resurface. According to Bloomberg, futures for the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 all slipped just after 3:20 a.m. EDT. Meanwhile, Reuters noted Brent crude hitting its highest since March 2022, stoked by renewed worries over potential U.S. military action targeting Iran. The market’s two main pillars, lower interest rates and Big Tech earnings, aren’t lining up the way they were. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve held its benchmark overnight rate at 3.50% to 3.75%, but worries about inflation triggered the most split vote at the central bank since 1992.

US Stock Market Today After Hours: Alphabet Jump Splits Big Tech as Fed Divide and Oil Shock Bite

US Stock Market Today After Hours: Alphabet Jump Splits Big Tech as Fed Divide and Oil Shock Bite

U.S. stocks diverged in after-hours moves Wednesday. Alphabet surged, lifted by strong cloud-driven earnings. Shares of Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft retreated as Wall Street weighed the cost of their AI investments. Earlier, the Dow dropped 0.57%, the S&P 500 edged 0.04% lower, and the Nasdaq managed a 0.04% gain. The timing isn’t trivial—these weren’t just another batch of earnings. Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon and Meta together account for more than $10 trillion in market cap, representing roughly 17% of the S&P 500. Their capital expenditures — think data centers, chips, anything long-term — are projected to hit $600 billion this year. Horizon Investment Services CEO Chuck Carlson put it bluntly: they’re “the straw that stirs the drinks” for big index funds. And BCA Research’s Noah Weisberger says investors are watching for that spending to start fueling revenue growth “somewhere in the next couple of quarters.”

US Stock Futures Slip Before The Bell As Oil Spike Tests Record S&P 500 Rally

Early Tuesday, stock-index futures gave a mixed picture—Nasdaq 100 contracts slipped while Dow futures edged up. Oil climbing and deadlocked U.S.-Iran talks put the brakes on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq’s record pace. According to a Reuters market note, S&P 500 E-mini futures dipped 0.13% at 4:01 a.m. EDT; Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 0.40%. Dow futures managed a 0.08% gain. The pause lands as Wall Street hits a busy stretch. Monday saw the S&P 500 and Nasdaq notch new highs, but with a Federal Reserve call looming, a packed earnings calendar, and more volatility in energy prices ahead, investors still have plenty to navigate before midweek.

  • COMP Options See Heavy Action as Implied Volatility Spikes
    July 2, 2026, 2:05 PM EDT. Compass Inc (COMP) options drew attention today with the July 17, 2026 $2 call posting some of the highest implied volatility in the market. This signals traders are pricing in bigger price swings for the stock. Even so, analysts are holding back-COMP has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), and earnings consensus for the quarter fell from 21 cents to 9 cents per share in the last 60 days. The split between cautious analysts and active options traders suggests some are leaning into volatility to collect premium, betting the stock won't move as much as the options market is showing.
