"Dragging Down"

Good Morning!

Dow futures down around 175 points at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on a several big earnings reports, today’s big economic calendar including the PCE report and tomorrow’s October Nonfarm Payrolls report. A spooky Halloween indeed!

From Bloomberg

"Stocks extended declines on the busiest day of the earnings season as investors digested results from Microsoft Corp. and Meta Platforms Inc. as well as economic data that blurred the picture for Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts.
Nasdaq 100 contracts retreated more than 1% before paring the drop, with Microsoft and Meta both down as much as 4% in pre-market trading. The slide in the two stocks combined represented roughly half of the losses in the Nasdaq futures, according to Bloomberg calculations. Amazon.com Inc. and Apple Inc. are due to report today.
The “disappointing” set of results from Microsoft and Meta was hurting sentiment, said Marija Veitmane, a senior multi-asset strategist at State Street Global Markets. Investors are questioning whether the companies can sustain profit growth while ramping up spending on artificial intelligence and cloud services.
“The market is concerned with the continued increase in investments, and that is likely to weigh on stocks in the short term,” she said. “In the medium term, however, we still see weakness in tech stocks as a buying opportunity. It’s a very crowded position, so it is getting sold on any sign of disappointment, but we always see investors coming back as there’s no other alternative if you want quality.”
Among other premarket stock movers, Uber Technologies Inc. slumped following a muted holiday forecast for the ride-hail service. Estee Lauder Cos. Inc. tumbled 18% after the cosmetics maker pulled its guidance for the year. EBay Inc. dropped after missing revenue forecasts. Comcast Corp. jumped after a profit beat. "
