The Morning Bull - US Market Morning Update Wednesday, Feb, 25 2026

US stock futures are pointing slightly higher this morning, with E-mini S&P 500 contracts up about 0.1%, as investors weigh stronger US hiring, lower long term interest rates and a softer housing market. ADP data show private employers adding an average of 12,750 jobs per week over the past month, which hints that paychecks and consumer spending are still holding up. At the same time, the 10 year Treasury yield is sitting near 4.05%, a three month low, which tends to ease borrowing costs. With home prices in the 20 biggest US cities up just 1.4% over the past year, the key question is whether steady jobs and cheaper financing help rate sensitive areas such as banks, smaller companies and real estate stocks more than a cooling housing market hurts them.
