Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
US stocks are set for a weak opening due to uncertainty surrounding interest rates and inflation. Mixed earnings reports, including Tesla's Q3 print, are affecting market sentiment. Other factors include the spike in oil prices, sluggish Chinese economic growth, Middle East tensions, and the ongoing House Speaker election stalemate. The S&P 500 Index may not move above the 4,800 range, according to Comerica's Chief Investment Officer. In premarket trading, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust and the Invesco QQQ ETF declined. Several companies, including Tesla and Netflix, are due to release their quarterly results.
