Market is Closed
[BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +46.60. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +188.00.
The S&P 500 futures are up 47 points and trade 1.2% above fair value at the end of a tough week in which the benchmark index is down 3.1%. Risk sentiment has been aided by a strong showing in foreign markets, including Chinese markets following an unexpected move by China's central bank.
Specifically, the People's Bank of China unexpectedly cut its five-year prime rate by 15 basis points to 4.45% while leaving its key one-year lending rate steady at 3.7%. China's Shanghai Composite rose 1.6% on Friday. The Europe Stoxx 600 is currently up 1.6%.
The futures market is overlooking disappointing earnings results and guidance from another retailer, Ross Stores (ROST 67.05, -25.65, -27.7%), which is down 28% in pre-market action, as well as disappointing results and guidance from semiconductor company Applied Materials (AMAT 109.50, -1.24, -1.1%).
The Treasury market, meanwhile, is a bit more reserved right now. The 2-yr yield is up two basis points to 2.63%, and the 10-yr yield is unchanged at 2.86%. The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.2% to 102.95. WTI crude is up 0.1% to $110.00/bbl.
Separately, Russia is preparing to annex portions of southeast Ukraine, according to The New York Times.
In U.S. Corporate news:
Ross Stores (ROST 67.05, -25.65): -27.7% after missing top and bottom-line estimates, guiding Q2 EPS below consensus, and guiding FY23 EPS below consensus.
Deere (DE 347.00, -17.62): -4.8% after missing revenue estimates. Deere beat EPS estimates and raised its FY22 net income guidance.
Palo Alto Networks (PANW 489.90, +53.53): +12.3% after beating top and bottom-line estimates and guiding Q4 EPS and revenue above consensus.
Foot Locker (FL 30.90, +0.60): +2.0% after beating EPS estimates and reaffirming its full-year guidance.
Applied Materials (AMAT 109.50, -1.24): -1.1% after missing top and bottom-line estimates and guiding JulQ EPS and revenue below consensus.
