S&P 500 Falls for Third Straight Day
S&P 500 fell for the third straight day as investor enthusiasm over the possibility of a less aggressive Federal Reserve following today's benign PCE inflation data was reversed into the close. While the Fed's preferred measure of inflation dented expectations of another rate hike in October, the impact down the Treasury yield curve was non-existent as the 10-year and the 30-year rates saw fresh multi-year highs at 5.30% and 5.65% respectively. Tech was the only sector to end Wednesday in the green as mega-cap names buffered sentiment, while Consumer Staples, Real Estate, and Healthcare underperformed.Index futures are slightly higher in the opening hour of the evening session, with S&P e-minis and Nasdaq 100 contracts both up 0.2%. Traders are watching the neutral market reaction to Q4 earnings out of Micron- the company exceeded estimates on both earnings and revenue and guided Q1 well above consensus on both the top and the bottom line. However, the management also warned that its capex plans for FY27 are higher than the company's prior projections. In Q4, Micron's capex of $10.77B was up from $7.1B in Q3 and up 119% y/y.Check out this evening's top movers from around Wall Street, compiled by The Fly.HIGHER AFTER EARNINGS -Bassett Furniture Industriesup 8.5%ALSO HIGHER -Monte Rosa Therapeuticsup 15.3% after announcing presentation of MRT-8102 GFORCE-1 Phase 1 StudyVicorup 8.9% after Q3 pre-announcementInogenup 6.7% after announcing plans to divest U.S. oxygen rental business and increase buybackNu Holdings Ltd.up 5.6% after denying reports of Monzo transactionRogersup 2.6% after medium-term outlookDOWN AFTER EARNINGS -Progress Softwaredown 1.8%Micron Technologydown 0.2%
