23-Feb-22 08:00 ET
Market is Closed
[BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +37.50. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +159.00.The S&P 500 futures trade 38 points, or 0.9%, above fair value as investors try to take advantage of the geopolitical-driven weakness. The benchmark index closed yesterday in correction territory, or down 10% from its record closing high.
Since yesterday's close, Ukraine has declared a state of emergency for at least 30 days and has begun mobilizing its reserves to prepare for armed conflict. President Biden canceled his meeting with President Putin, and Secretary of State Blinken canceled his meeting with Russia's foreign minister.
The indications outside the futures market signal a belief that the worst-case scenario isn't likely, at least for now with the multitude of sanctions imposed on Russia. The 10-yr yield is up two basis points to 1.97%. Gold futures are down 0.6% to $1895.50/ozt. The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.1% to 95.90.
The market also seems less bothered by hawkish Fed expectations, which continue to play out in the shorter-dated segment of the Treasury market. The 2-yr yield is up another five basis points to 1.60%.
Lowe's (LOW 219.99, +5.40, +2.5%), meanwhile, is an earnings standout after beating top and bottom-line estimates and guiding FY23 EPS above consensus. TJX Companies (TXJ 60.50, -4.75, -7.3%) is heading the other way after missing revenue estimates.
Separately, the weekly MBA Mortgage Applications Index dropped 13.1% following a 5.4% decline in the prior week.
