Bounced yesterday just above that psychological 20 level, seeing some follow thru today on broad market futures weakness. After the massive move we saw in January followed by the recent massive crush, little tremors back upward are the norm. How sustainable, and how much follow thru is key to watch for today/over the next few days.

The S&P 500 futures trade 37 points, or 0.8%, below fair value as the rebound momentum loses steam with Meta Platforms (FB251.25, -71.75, -22.2%) reeling on disappointing earnings news. The Nasdaq 100 futures underperform and trade 2.0% below fair value.
Shares of Facebook's parent company are down 22% in pre-market action after missing EPS estimates and guiding Q1 revenue below consensus due to ad-impression and pricing-related factors. The visceral reaction has pressured other growth stocks, which are also contending with an uptick in interest rates in front of key economic data.
Specifically, investors will receive weekly Initial Claims (Briefing.com consensus 245,000) and preliminary Q4 readings for Productivity (Briefing.com consensus 2.7%) and Unit Labor Costs at 8:30 a.m. ET. Afterwards, the January ISM Non-Manufacturing Index (Briefing.com consensus 60.0%) and December Factory Orders (Briefing.com consensus -0.2%) will be released at 10:00 a.m. ET.
The 10-yr yield is up three basis points to 1.80% while the 2-yr yield is up two basis points to 1.17%. The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.2% to 96.09. WTI crude futures are down 1.5%, or $1.33, to $86.93/bbl.
T-Mobile US (TMUS 117.95, +8.37, +7.6%), meanwhile, is bucking the negative trend with a 7.6% gain after beating EPS estimates. Dow components Honeywell (HON 201.00, -6.55, -3.2%) and Merck (MRK 81.75, -0.26, -0.3%) have underwhelmed investors with their results.
Elsewhere, the Bank of England hiked rates for the second meeting in a row, voting today to raise its bank rate by 25 basis points to 0.50%. The European Central Bank (ECB) left rates unchanged, as expected, but investors are wondering if ECB President Lagarde will pay heed to inflation risks in her press conference.
