Following retail sales and CPI data this morning, equity futures again hit all-time highs, with the Emini S&P 500 ($ESZ7) hitting 2555.50 as of writing. Crude Oil and Gold futures are also rallying, with Crude leading the way (up 1.6%). The U.S. Dollar is also seeing pressure, falling 0.3% versus the Euro.
Judging by this reaction, equities are encouraged by the strong retail sales figures, which rose 1.6%, while commodites and the U.S. Dollar are looking at the slightly weaker than expected CPI reading.
