Will Jerome Powell Spoil Wall Street's Party? US Stock Futures Slip As Fed Chief Maintains Hawkish Tone Ahead Of More Earnings
Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
U.S. stock futures dipped in Monday's premarket as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell maintained a hawkish stance in a '60 Minutes' interview, emphasizing caution towards rate cuts. This stance, combined with an earnings-heavy week, has introduced caution among traders. Last week, mixed earnings reports from major companies like Alphabet, Apple, Amazon, and Meta influenced market movements, with the Dow Industrials and S&P 500 hitting fresh records. SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) and Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ) saw premarket movements. Companies like Caterpillar Inc. (CAT) and Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (APD) showed significant premarket price changes following their earnings reports.
