U.S. index futures are mixed in pre-market trading on Thursday
following a sharp tech sector sell-off the previous day.
At 5:17 AM, Dow Jones futures (DOWI:DJI) rose 85 points, or
0.21%. S&P 500 futures lost 0.01%, and Nasdaq-100 futures fell
0.10%. The 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.228%.
In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude for September fell
1.46% to $76.46 per barrel. Brent crude for September dropped 1.41%
to around $80.56 per barrel. Oil prices declined due to weak demand
in China and the expectation of a Middle East ceasefire, despite
falling U.S. oil and gasoline inventories. Global economic
uncertainty and peace efforts are adding pressure to prices. Iron
ore prices fell nearly 1% on China concerns, and copper dropped
1.2%.
On Thursday’s economic agenda, weekly jobless claims for the
week ending last Saturday will be published at 8:30 AM by the Labor
Department. Simultaneously, June durable goods orders and the
preliminary Q2 GDP reading will be published by the Commerce
Department. At 10:00 AM, June pending home sales data will be
released.
Asia-Pacific markets faced a broad sell-off, reflecting the
impact of Wall Street’s decline. Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell 3.28%,
closing at 37,869.51, the lowest level since April, with notable
losses in companies like SoftBank and
Renesas Electronics. The yen strengthened for the
fourth consecutive day, reaching 152.28 per dollar, and the Bank of
Japan is expected to consider a rate hike.
In South Korea, GDP grew 2.3% annually, below expectations, with
the Kospi down 1.74% and the Kosdaq falling 2.08%, led by declines
in SK Hynix (KOSPI:000660) shares. Hong Kong’s
Hang Seng Index dropped 1.67%. The Shanghai Composite Index fell
0.52% as China cut the medium-term loan rate from 2.5% to 2.3% to
stimulate the economy. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 also fell 1.29%,
while Taiwan’s market remained closed for a second day due to
Typhoon Gaemi.
European markets are down, with investors closely watching the
earnings season, and the tech sector leading losses, reflecting the
previous day’s sell-off on Wall Street. Economically, focus is on
German consumer confidence and business activity in the eurozone
and the UK, anticipating the eurozone GDP release next week.
On Wednesday, U.S. stocks deepened their decline, with the
Nasdaq experiencing a drastic drop, reaching its lowest closing
level in over a month. The Dow Jones fell 1.25%, while the S&P
500 and Nasdaq declined 2.31% and 3.64%, respectively. The sharp
drop reflects disappointments in corporate earnings, particularly
from giants like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and
Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL), and adverse reactions to
the economic report on U.S. new home sales.
The U.S. Commerce Department’s report showed an unexpected drop
in new home sales in June, with a 0.6% reduction to an annual rate
of 617,000. This result contradicted expectations of a 3.4%
increase and marked the lowest sales level since November 2023,
when sales reached 611,000.

Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL), Southwest
Airlines (NYSE:LUV), Royal
Caribbean (NYSE:RCL), Honeywell (NASDAQ:HON), Hasbro (NASDAQ:HAS), RTX (NYSE:RTX), AstraZeneca (NASDAQ:AZN), Keurig
