American stock futures pause at record peaks
On Friday, Wall Street futures actually pointed to a flat to lower start because American equities were brace for taking another breather at record peaks, with the Nasdaq reportedly intending to break a 10-day winning streak, which is its best outcome since February 2015. It’s because market participants are ready to price in big moves on earnings. They’re also awaiting a bunch of outcomes next week.
The blue-chip Dow futures declined 0.13%, the S&P 500 futures tumbled 0.05%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 futures sagged 0.13%.
With no key economic reports set for publication on Friday, investors paid attention to the ongoing flow of quarterly earnings, especially the outcomes of three Dow Jones components.
