What’s in Today’s Report:

Futures are under pressure again this morning as the 10-Yr yield continues to edge further beyond 4.20%, the highest readings since July, while traders await more important earnings releases today and into the weekend.
Economically, Taiwan’s Industrial Production index, which includes the nation’s critical semiconductor output, slowed to 11.22% in September from a lower revised 12.54% rise in August signaling a potential slowdown in high-tech, AI-focused chips in H2’24.
Today, there is one economic report due out: Existing Home Sales (E: 3.90 million) but unless it is meaningfully “hot” it should not have a major impact on markets (although a cool report that influences less hawkish money flows would be well received by equity markets).
Additionally, there are two Fed speakers to watch: Bowman (9:00 a.m. ET) and Barkin (12:00 p.m. ET) from which markets will look for a less-hawkish, more accommodative tone than the recent “higher-for-longer” policy rate chatter.
Finally, earnings season continues with several notable companies reporting quarterly results including BA ($-10.34), KO ($0.74), and T ($0.59) before the open, and TSLA ($0.58), IBM ($2.27), and TMUS ($2.34) after the close.
