NASDAQ, S&P 500, Dow Jones – Stocks Rebound From Session Lows Ahead Of Microsoft Earnings

S&P 500 240123 Daily Chart

S&P 500 rebounded from session lows and moved back into the positive territory. Today, traders focused on PMI reports. The reports exceeded analyst expectations but showed that rising prices continued to put pressure on businesses.

Interestingly, Treasury yields moved lower after the release of PMI reports. Bond traders are not ready to bet on a more aggressive Fed. Markets expect that the Fed will raise the interest rate by 25 bps at the next meeting and will not be able to push rates above the 5.00% level in 2023.

3M was the biggest loser in the S&P 500 today as traders reacted to the disappointing earnings report. The company missed analyst estimates and provided disappointing outlook.

Energy stocks have found themselves under pressure as WTI oil pulled back amid profit-taking. Concerns about the strength of global demand for oil have also served as a bearish catalyst for oil and energy stocks today.

NASDAQ (NAS100)

Dow Jones (US30)
