Good Morning, Traders!…👋
U.S. equities continued climbing on Thursday, buoyed by cooling tensions in the Middle East and speculation over potential Fed rate cuts. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 both pushed into record territory, with tech names like Nvidia leading the charge—its stock hitting a new high—as investors digested bullish AI chip demand and strong Q3 results from Micron (+2.1%) and Coinbase (+0.4%).
Oil prices remain steady near $65–68 as the tentative Israel–Iran ceasefire holds, easing inflation fears and supporting risk appetite.
Market focus now shifts to the next round of Fed commentary—particularly any hints of accelerated easing—as traders weigh a large gap between the Fed’s cautious policy tone and market expectations for rate cuts. Meanwhile, several big-cap earnings are in play: Nike, Walgreens, McCormick, and more are due after the bell, and could provide direction amid the current rally driven by geopolitical relief and AI enthusiasm.
Earnings Watch
Earnings hit today from Walgreens $WBA, McCormick $MKC, and Acuity Brands $AYI before open, plus Nike $NKE and Concentrix $CNXC after close.
Analysts expect WBA to post $0.34 EPS despite retail challenges, MKC to hit $0.66 EPS, AYI at $4.49 EPS, NKE to deliver $0.12 EPS amid tariff woes, and CNXC at $2.80 EPS.
