Equities are looking to extend yesterday’s losses in this morning’s pre-trading session. The data schedule is light today with no major releases scheduled to hit markets in the morning, although in the afternoon investors will eye the Fed’s Beige Book, a comprehensive, anecdotal report on economic conditions across all 12 Federal Reserve Districts.
Just before 7:00, the Dow is trading 47 points lower after shedding 5o points yesterday, putting the industrial led index just below the 10,000 threshold. S&P 500 futures are trading 5.7 points lower at 1,083.70.
As the dollar continues to rebound from 14-month lows, spot gold has fallen to $1,058.50 per troy ounce. The euro has once again failed to break past the key $1.50 level.
In earnings, investors will be focusing on Q3 reports from Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley, among others.
