Good morning!
Amazon popped higher initially on its earnings after the close giving hopes that yesterday’s rally could carry over into today. But the stock reversed overnight and is now lower by more than 2%. With that, the futures are down slightly, a bit of a pullback from the strong close yesterday. Exxon Mobile reported this morning and is slightly higher. Chevron is slightly lower.
On the economic front, the PCE was just reported and was in line (to a tick hot.) The PCE is a key inflation metric for the Fed and like most inflation metrics is sort of sticky right now. As we’ve seen during earnings season so far, those higher prices are helping a lot of consumer companies beat expectations, despite sluggish product growth.
