iSAM Securities Apex Integrates with CMC Markets to Expand Low-Latency Liquidity Access for Brokers

Yesterday’s softer US CPI numbers did little to change interest rate expectations, with just two Fed rate cuts still expected for the rest of 2025—in September and December.

US equity futures have cooled slightly overnight after the S&P 500 rallied above Liberation Day levels yesterday, amid the ongoing de-escalation between the US and China.

Risk sentiment is strong, with S&P 500 futures up 1.5% and Nasdaq 100 futures up 2.1%, while Asian equities have rallied 0.8% to start the week. This comes after headlines revealed that the first formal trade talks between the US and China made “substantial progress” and the two sides were “not as far apart as expected,” according to US negotiators.
