The futures market is trading mixed after a bout of volatility, as the S&P 500 futures trade eight points, or 0.2%, above fair value while the Nasdaq 100 futures trade 0.4% below fair value.
Conviction seems to be lacking when considering the S&P 500 faded a positive start and sliced through its 50-day moving average (now 4542) yesterday. In addition, there's a Bloomberg report indicating that Apple (AAPL 159.77, -5.00, -3.0%) is telling suppliers that it's seeing less demand for the iPhone 13.
The Treasury market also seems wrapped up in possible growth concerns amid risks posed by the Omicron variant and a potential policy mistake from the Fed. The 2-yr yield is up three basis points to 0.59%, while the 10-yr yield is down one basis point to 1.43%. The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.2% to 95.87.
On the upside, Boeing (BA 196.50, +8.31, +4.4%) is up 4% in pre-market action amid a Bloomberg report indicating that Boeing and Airbus are in discussions with JetAir for a possible $12 billion order. Snowflake (SNOW 352.00, +41.00, +13.2%) is up 13% after beating revenue estimates.
Separately, the weekly Initial Claims (Briefing.comconsensus 255,000) and Continuing Claims report will be available at 8:30 a.m. ET, and OPEC+ should announce a production decision later today. WTI crude futures are currently down 0.1% to $65.54/bbl.
