Intro & Market Mood
Welcome to The Morning Dose! Everything you need to know before the market opens. Futures are dipping, folks, tariff tango continues!
Overnight Headlines
A little bit of a backslide after a solid week of gains. S&P futures down 0.2%, Nasdaq down 0.3%, and the Dow down 0.5%. That China tariff exemption news, well, it’s something, but not enough to keep the bulls charging.
Economic Announcements
- University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment data coming out at 10 a.m. That could shake things up.
Earnings Highlights
- Alphabet (GOOGL): Crushed it! Advertising revenue up, cloud revenue soaring, dividend increase, massive share buyback.
- T-Mobile: Beat, but the stock’s down.
- Gilead (GILD) and Intel (INTC): Not so hot. Guidance was a bit disappointing.
Top Movers
Overseas:
Asia mostly green, Australia and New Zealand out for holidays.
Europe trending up, but lingering tariff tension.
Quick Trade Ideas
- Keep an eye on Alphabet (GOOGL), a powerhouse.
- Watch for potential sector impact from Intel (INTC) weakness.
- Monitor key support levels on SPY and QQQ. Be ready for anything in this consolidation phase.
