Futures are trading mixed this morning after a dreadful day across Wall Street, with all major indices closing lower except the Russell 2000. What began in late December and has gained considerable traction recently is the narrative of a broad rotation out of technology stocks. For the last three years, technology stocks, led by the Magnificent 7, have marched the S&P 500 to three consecutive years of double-digit gains.
Futures are trading higher after a strong bounce-back Monday, with all major indices ending the day higher, as we started February on a winning note. Investors were able to look past the crypto and precious metals meltdowns, geopolitical hot spots around the world, some big retail and institutional investors' profit-taking, and a surge of additional issues to power stocks higher on Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrials led the way on Monday, closing at 49,407, up 1.05%,
The futures are trading higher on Tuesday after a strong start to the week on Wall Street. Traders were buoyed by positive news on the potential for a trade agreement with China and the potential resolution of the TikTok issue. With Wall Street ready for a deluge of earnings this week, the most important of which come from technology giants in the Magnificent 7, it may remain a task for the momentum-driven rally to keep moving higher. Still, with strong retail participation and new money pouring into the market from overseas, the run to 7000 on the S&P 500 is on and humming.
