  • S&P 500 Chart: A Long Way to the 200 DMA

Stock futures are wavering between gains and losses this morning as a spike in COVID-19 cases in several global “hot spots” is raising concerns about the future of the economic recovery while NFLX earnings disappointed yesterday.

There are no economic reports or Fed speakers today but there is a 20-Year T-Bond auction at 1:00 p.m. ET that could move Treasury markets.

Aside from coronavirus developments, market focus will remain on earnings today following yesterday’s disappointing results by NFLX. Notable companies releasing Q1 results today include: VZ ($1.29), NEE ($0.61), CMG ($4.88), DFS ($2.88), LVS (-$0.28), and CP ($3.46).
