Market Recap

US stocks finished higher Monday ahead of today’s key inflation numbers.

• One-year consumer inflation expectations for the month of May fell to 4.1%, the lowest level since March 2021. However, three- and five-year expectations increased 0.1% to 3% and 2.7%, respectively.

• UBS (UBS) completed its takeover of Credit Suisse. This marks the end of Credit Suisse's 167-year history and creates a Swiss bank with a balance sheet of $5 trillion in assets. The merger makes UBS the world's largest wealth manager, with the two banks jointly employing 120,000 people worldwide. However, UBS announced plans to cut jobs to take advantage of synergies and reduce costs.

• The Federal Trade Commission is planning to file an injunction to block Microsoft's (MSFT) acquisition of Activision Blizzard (ATVI) before the deal’s July 18 deadline. The FTC previously sued to block the acquisition and the case is set to go before an administrative law judge in August. Microsoft said it would welcome the injunction as it would bring the case before a federal judge faster.

What to be on the lookout for today

• Investors will receive the monthly inflation update for May. As of April, the core inflation rate sat at 5.5%, a 0.1% decrease from the month before.

• Look for an earnings update from the infrastructure management company Iteris (ITI). Investors will tune in to see how the changing transportation landscape has impacted the California-based company, which uses information technology and digital image processing to enhance driver safety. Last quarter, Iteris posted revenue of $40.7 million, up 27% year-over-year.

Home improvement: keep up with curb appeal.

Getting your home’s exterior in tip-top shape can be especially important if you plan to sell your property. You want to make a great first impression, after all!

• Consider a new front door. You might even paint it a bright color (red or yellow) to make a statement. A new front door has been found to return more than 100% on the amount paid.
• Mow the lawn, plant some color-coordinated flowers, and consider some shrubs. Landscaping can add value and eye appeal — here’s how much you can expect these projects to cost.
• if your home has eyesores that mean new siding or energy-efficient windows are needed, consider a home improvement loan to help your place shine.
