Equity index futures sustained their upward momentum, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures each recording a seventh consecutive day of gains. The rally was supported by broader market optimism surrounding a potential ceasefire. On the economic data front, February core PCE aligned with expectations at a 3% expansion, while consumer spending rose 0.5% despite a slight dip in personal income. Additionally, fourth-quarter GDP underwent a downward revision to 0.5%. In the options market, short-term Russell call buying surged, and expiring 6850 ES call options traded nearly 20,000 times as implied volatility dropped significantly. Bitcoin also participated in the broader market advance, approaching the 73,000 level while testing its 50-day moving average.
