Pour yourself a strong cup of coffee and brew a fresh pot. We’ve got a barnburner on our hands.  Much to the chagrin of anyone who had hoped the election would be decided early and Wall Street could simply move on, things just didn’t work out that way. So traders and investors...

Maybe it’s the Halloween effect, because investors saw FAANG earnings yesterday evening and got spooked. Futures took a scary ride downward overnight, including a 500-point screeching plunge for futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DJI) at one point. Those clawed back quite...

If there’s a single day that defines earnings season, this is it. Buckle up. The highlight comes after the close when four of the five FAANGs open their books. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ: FB), and...

As one of the largest and most widely held companies in the world, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) often exerts outsize influence on the market. That’s been especially true in 2020 as Tech companies took on the mantle of market leadership, helping send the broader market both higher and...

After stumbling to start the week, it looks like Wall Street is trying to get back on its feet this morning. Major indices—which recovered some of their losses in the last hour yesterday—made up more ground in pre-market trading despite fading stimulus hopes and more shutdowns due to...

Subtract almost all remaining hopes of a stimulus, add thousands of new COVID-19 cases, sprinkle in some pre-election volatility, and what do you get? A day like Monday on Wall Street. Major stock indices took it on the chin, suffering their steepest spill in a month. By the end of the day,...

If there’s one thing that could potentially shift investors’ focus away from early concerns about rising COVID-19 cases and the stalled state of stimulus, maybe it’s four FAANG stocks reporting the same afternoon. But that’s not until Thursday.  Mega-cap...

Let’s get ahead of some of the data coming our way this busy week. First off, we have financial markets focused on the central bank activity with the Bank of Japan (BOJ), the Bank of Canada (BOC), and the European Central Bank (ECB) all expected to leave rates unchanged in continuation of the...

Wave the green flag. Earnings season is underway. It all got started today with JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) and Citigroup Inc (NYSE: C) delivering fresh sets of results hot off the press. The overall market has a mixed tone, with Nasdaq 100 (NDX) futures...

First, the focus continues to be on the potential for another stimulus bill. Over the weekend, President Trump said he wanted to help businesses and that he is ready to go, Nancy Pelosi said the 1.8 trillion dollar deal Democrats are being offered is grossly inadequate, and Neel Kashkari was clear...

Investors appeared to be optimistic on Monday morning, helping stocks continue their climb from late last week. Momentum from Friday’s strong finish on Wall Street seemed to spill over into international markets, and it’s good to see that momentum carrying over into another U.S. session...

Do words have the power to move markets? Yes and no. When words are used to telegraph policy moves, such as the Fed’s recent change from 2% “inflation targeting” to 2% “inflation averaging,” the markets took those words as a hint that the Fed would keep interest rates...

As Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) gears up for its September 15 event, fans of the iDevice company can expect a spotlight on the Apple Watch Series 6; new iPads; and the rumored Apple One subscription bundle. Those eager to learn more about the iPhone 12 — patience. There's ...

U.S. equity futures are mixed in premarket trading Friday after stocks sold off across the board yesterday, wiping out record highs in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 following a multi-week run of the major indices. The S&P lost 3.5%, the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 5.2%, and the Dow Jones Industrial...

For weeks, there’ve been people saying stocks can’t go straight up forever. And today it looks like they’re right. The market actually has a softer tone this morning as caution kicks in ahead of tomorrow’s jobs report and the long weekend. Crude is especially weak, diving...
