From the US
Pre-market futures suggest that U.S. stock markets might open lower. In the previous trading session, Wall Street stocks ended mostly mixed.
At time of posting, 🇺🇸 Nasdaq Futures is down by -153 points or -0.87% lower to 17,511.50. While 🇺🇸 Dow Futures is currently lower and down by -122 points or -0.32% to 38,558.00 and 🇺🇸 S&P Futures shed -27.5 points or -0.54% lower to 5,080.00.
Investors seem wary looking at today’s early futures ahead of key data in the coming days as there were no major U.S. economic news in the last session.
In the upcoming event, we may expect high volatility ahead of Initial Unemployment Insurance Claims to be released at 8:30am on Thursday (New York Time). Economists are expecting higher forecast compared to previous report.
