What’s in Today’s Report:

  • Here We Go Again: Why Bad Data Isn’t Good for Stocks
  • EIA Analysis and Oil Market Update

Futures are moderately lower following disappointing tech earnings overnight.

META (down 13% pre-open), IBM (down 10% pre-open) and NOW (down 5% pre-open) all posted disappointing results and tech stock weakness is weighing on futures.

Economically there was no notable data overnight.

Today focus will be on economic data and earnings.  From a data standpoint, Advanced Q1 GDP (E: 2.3%) is the key report and markets will want to see a headline that meets (or slightly misses) expectations and price data that’s in-line or lower than estimates (if that occurs, July rate cuts hopes will rise).  Other data today includes Jobless Claims (E: 215K) and Pending Home Sales (E: 1.0%).

On earnings, there is a deluge of reports today, but the key potential market movers include:  MSFT ($2.81), GOOGL ($1.49), INTC ($0.11), AAL (-$0.28), RCL ($1.30), CAT ($5.12), TMUS ($1.89).
