E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM) Futures Technical Analysis – 27109 – 27683 Next Target Zone

March E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are trading slightly higher shortly before the cash market opening on Tuesday. The market is being underpinned by expectations of a 25 to 50 basis point rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve later this month. However, gains are likely being limited by disappointment in the G7 central bankers’ inability to agree on a coordinated interest rate cut.

At 14:18 GMT, March E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are trading 26682, up 214 or +0.81%.

The draft of a statement by G7 finance ministers and central bank governor did not specifically call for new government spending or coordinated interest rate cuts.
