Good Morning, Traders!…👋
Markets opened lower on Friday as investors navigated rising geopolitical tensions and persistent weakness in the tech sector. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures dropped 148 points, or 0.4%, with S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures each slipping 0.4% and 0.5%, respectively.
The declines come amid escalating concerns tied to Russia’s war in Ukraine. On Thursday, Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile targeting Dnipro, following Ukraine’s earlier long-range missile strikes into Russian territory.
Earlier in the week, President Vladimir Putin’s updates to Russia’s nuclear doctrine further unsettled markets. Despite these developments, investors remain cautiously focused on earnings and other economic indicators.
Among key market movers, Nvidia shares are trading lower following recent volatility. MicroStrategy is attempting to recover from Thursday’s steep losses, while Gap has surged after surpassing earnings expectations and raising its full-year sales guidance. As the week wraps up, traders are balancing these events alongside broader market uncertainties heading into the weekend.

Here's how to collect your next dividend.
