The S&P 500 futures are down 6 points and are trading 0.1% below fair value. The Nasdaq 100 futures are down 3 points and are trading roughly in line with fair value. The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are down 90 points and are trading 0.3% below fair value.
Equity futures trade on a softer note. There's not a big negative bias, yet not a lot of follow through buying either. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lags due to a decent loss in Home Depot (HD) after the company beat earnings estimates, disappointed with sales, and issued below-consensus FY24 EPS guidance and revenue guidance.
Uncertainty about the debt ceiling is still a limiting factor after Treasury Secretary Yellen warned again yesterday that the Treasury will likely not be able to meet all of the government's obligations potentially as early as June 1. President Biden will meet with congressional leaders to discuss the debt ceiling today at 3:00 p.m. ET, according to Reuters.
Concerns about global growth are another factor weighing on sentiment this morning after China reported a slate of disappointing economic data from April, including retail sales, fixed asset investment, and industrial production.
