[BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +11.40. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -12.30.
The S&P 500 futures trade 11 points, or 0.3%, above fair value as the market holds onto yesterday's rally while investors digest some key earnings news.
Netflix (NFLX 255.19, -93.42, -26.8%) is the main draw, as shares plunge 27% in pre-market action after the company lost 200,000 global paid subscribers in the first quarter and estimated it will lose another 2 million in the second quarter.
Weakness in NFLX is spreading to other stocks of companies with streaming exposure, but the broader futures market is holding up relatively well in the face of this disappointment. That could be because of a modest pullback in Treasury yields.
In addition, IBM (IBM 132.18, +3.03, +2.4%), Proctor Gamble (PG 161.50, +2.09, +1.3%), and Abbott Labs (ABT 121.00, +1.02, +0.9%) are picking up the slack following their better-than-expected earnings reports, as is lululemon athletica (LULU 413.20, +8.54, +2.1%) after announcing plans to double revenue by 2026 to $12.5 billion.
Currently, the 2-yr yield down two basis points 2.56%, and the 10-yr yield down four basis points to 2.87% after hitting 2.97% last evening. The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.6% to 100.38. WTI crude futures are up 1.5%, or $1.58, to $103.63/bbl.
Separately, the People's Bank of China made no changes to its one-year and five-year loan prime rates despite expectations for rate cuts. China's Shanghai Composite fell 1.4% on Wednesday.
On the data front, investors will receive Existing Home Sales for March (Briefing.com consensus 5.80 million) at 10:00 a.m. ET, followed by the April Beige Book at 2:00 p.m. ET. Earlier, the weekly MBA Mortgage Applications Index decreased 5.0% following a 1.3% decline in the prior week.
