US stock futures were largely unchanged on Friday, as investors digested the implications of President Trump’s recently passed tax-and-spending package on the nation’s already sizable fiscal deficit. During Thursday’s regular session, the Dow closed flat, the S&P 500 edged down 0.04%, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.28%. The newly approved budget bill, which features tax cuts and increased defense spending, has raised concerns that it could further inflate the US national debt. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill’s cost at nearly $4 trillion, heightening fears of long-term fiscal instability. These concerns were amplified by Moody’s recent downgrade of the US credit rating from Aaa to Aa1, citing rising deficits and the growing cost of servicing the national debt. On Thursday, 7 out of the 11 S&P sectors finished lower, led by declines in utilities, health, and energy. Meanwhile, consumer discretionary, communication services, and technology stocks outperformed.

US Futures Flat as Fiscal Concerns Weigh

The People’s Bank of China (PBoC) injected CNY 500 billion into financial institutions through a one-year medium-term lending facility (MLF) on May 23rd to maintain ample liquidity in the country's banking system. The PBoC stated that the MLF operation would be conducted using a fixed-quantity, interest-rate bidding, and multiple-price bidding method. This month's net MLF injection declined compared to the CNY 600 billion in the previous month. Starting in March, the central bank adopted a multiple-price bidding method for MLF operations. As a result, it no longer announces a fixed interest rate for the facility. While the MLF rate previously served as China’s primary policy rate, the PBoC has recently shifted its focus to a shorter-term monetary policy tool to more effectively guide market rates.

PBoC Injects CNY 500 Billion into Banking System

Japan’s core consumer price index, which excludes volatile fresh food prices but includes energy, rose 3.5% year-on-year in April 2025, up from 3.2% in March and slightly above market expectations of 3.4%. This marks the highest reading in over two years and reinforces expectations that the Bank of Japan will continue tightening monetary policy in response to sustained inflationary pressures. Core inflation has remained at or above the BOJ’s 2% target for more than three years, driven by persistently elevated food prices and rising wages. BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda has indicated the central bank is prepared to raise interest rates further, although at a measured pace as policymakers monitor the potential economic impact of US tariffs.

Japan Core Inflation Surpasses Expectations in April
