Co-HostU.S. stock futures are relatively flat in premarket trading after a record-setting session for the Dow Index ($DJI) powered by strong corporate earnings.
Strong quarterly results given earlier from companies such as Coca-Cola (KO) and 3M (MMM) had powered the Dow Jones Industrial Average to a fresh record high close on Tuesday.
Positive earnings sentiment may take a hit today with Netflix (NFLX) and Texas Instruments (TXN) both down over 6% after posting earnings that disappointed investors.
Snapshot (as of 7 AM ET)
- Oil (/CL) – Oil prices are up 2% near $58.30 a barrel and bouncing off of 5-month lows earlier this week buoyed by hopes of progress of a U.S. trade deal with China and India.
- Gold (/GC) – Gold Futures are down around 1.5% near $4050 after selling off over 5% yesterday, weighed down by signs of easing U.S.-China trade tensions and as investors took advantage of bullion’s recent record rally to take profits while awaiting U.S. inflation data due later this week.
- Bitcoin (/BTC) – The Crypto Future is down 3.5% near 108,000 in premarket trading and is falling from yesterday’s rebound rally.
