Good morning friends!<\/span><\/p>\n

Futures are rebounding despite looming recession fears as volatility continues on Wall Street.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A quick reminder the market will be closed in observance of Juneteenth on Monday, so there will be no Coffee With Greta that day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get right to it!<\/span><\/p>\n

Dow Bounces After Giving Up 30,000<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dow <\/b>futures are rebounding after the bluechip index plunged below 30,000 on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wall Street gave back all, plus more, of its post-Fed rally during the session, pushing the Dow below that level for the first time since January 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reality seemed to set in after the largest Fed rate hike in 28 years, that the U.S. is unlikely to avoid a recession.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Central Bank\u2019s dot plot shows more aggressive rate hikes are expected this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Fed Chair Jerome Powell is delivering the welcoming remarks at the Inaugural Conference on the International Roles of the U.S. Dollar in Washington, D.C. this morning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All three major indexes are on track for steep weekly losses.<\/span><\/p>\n

The S&P 500 is on course for its worst week since March 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

Biden Insists U.S. Can Avoid A Recession<\/strong><\/h2>\n

President Biden told <\/span>AP<\/span><\/a> Thursday that a recession is \u201cnot inevitable\u201d as the Fed works to tackle inflation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Citing the 3.6% unemployment rate, Biden claimed the U.S. is \u201cin a stronger position than any nation in the world to overcome this inflation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He said claims that the Democrats\u2019 American Rescue Plan in 2021 caused inflation to get worse, calling the argument \u201cbizarre\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Biden did admit the American people are \u201creally, really down\u201d after the pandemic, volatility in the economy, and soaring prices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He said, \u201cBe confident, because I am confident we\u2019re better positioned than any country in the world to own the second quarter of the 21st century. That\u2019s not hyperbole, that\u2019s a fact.\u201d<\/span>

Adobe Slips On Weak Full-Year Guidance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Adobe <\/b>(ADBE) shares are down 4.4% ahead of the open despite beating Q2 expectations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The software maker reported adjusted earnings of $3.35 per share on $4.39 billion in revenue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That topped analysts\u2019 expectations for adjusted EPS of $3.31 on $4.34 billion in revenue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Revenue was up 14% year-over-year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Adobe forecast Q3 revenue will rise to $4.43 billion with full-year 2022 revenue of about $17.65 billion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s down from its previous forecast for $17.9 billion in full-year revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gas Prices Fall Again<\/strong><\/h2>\n

U.S. gas prices declined today for the third day in a row.<\/span><\/p>\n

AAA<\/span><\/a> shows the national average for regular gas dipped to $5.000\/gal today, down from $5.009\/gal on Thursday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The recent drop in prices comes as gasoline demand has pulled back a bit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Energy Information Administration says U.S. demand fell to 9.09 million barrels per day from 9.2 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

But diesel prices are still pushing to new records.<\/span><\/p>\n

The national average for diesel jumped to $5.798\/gal today from $5.786 on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oil Prices Dip<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Oil prices are slightly lower this morning as the market continues to weigh tight supply concerns against recession fears.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

West Texas Intermediate crude futures are down 0.4% at $117 bbl while Brent crude futures are 0.1% lower at just under $120 bbl.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prices are on track for a weekly decline following the Fed rate hike.<\/span><\/p>\n

It would be the first weekly drop for Brent crude in five weeks and WTI crude in eight weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leading Economic Indicators Expected to Fall<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Economists expect the U.S. economy softened further in May.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Conference Board releases its leading economic index at 10:00 a.m. ET today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That index is expected to fall to 0.4% after slipping 0.3% in April.<\/span><\/p>\n

The LEI is a weighted gauge of 10 economic indicators. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>One of those indicators is building permits, which plunged 7% in May.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another is consumer confidence, which fell 2.2 points last month.<\/span><\/p>\n
