The S&P 500 futures trade 24 points, or 0.5%, above fair value as the market tries to rebound from two days of selling, which was attributed to profit taking, hawkish Fed expectations, and rising Treasury yields.
The Treasury market will be out of the picture today since it's closed for Veterans Day. Likewise, there is no economic data scheduled for today, leaving the market in a state of digestion while investors review the latest news headlines.
In response to earnings news, Walt Disney (DIS 164.75, -9.70, -5.4%) is down 5%, Affirm Holdings (AFRM 167.91, +33.48, +25.6%) is up 25%, Opendoor Technologies (OPEN 23.00, +3.50, +17.8%) is up 18%, and Beyond Meat (BYND 76.31, -18.12, -19.4%) is down 19%.
Separately, Axios is reporting that Senator Manchin (D-WV) could delay a decision on whether to vote on the $1.75 trillion budget reconciliation bill until next year due to high inflation and so Congress can focus on the debt ceiling issue. Recall, total CPI was up 6.2% year-over-year in October.
The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.2% to 95.02 for the first time since July 2020. WTI crude futures are down 0.8%, or $0.63, to $80.82/bbl.
