Crypto turned around yesterday but Marvell Technology earnings appeared to disappoint. Today brings Salesforce results and ADP jobs data, along with Macy's and Snowflake.
Stocks rose and yields fell early, with stocks holding gains after ADP reported November job losses of 32,000. Fed rate cut hopes hit 90% on this new sign of economic softness.
Grain futures are mixed leading into Wednesday’s session. Corn and wheat futures are lower after finishing Tuesday’s session higher and soybean futures are looking to start the day higher after slipping Tuesday.
Marvell Technology and CrowdStrike results following the close will be watched for AI and tech demand trends, while crypto could again play a role after denting sentiment Monday.
Data this week touch on manufacturing, inflation, and jobs. The Fed is quiet ahead of next week's meeting, and stocks had a mixed November highlighted by strong late-month gains.
After a gangbuster stock market rally since the early-April lows, many of the prior highfliers have taken a breather amid AI bubble and valuation concerns.
