The S&P 500 futures trade 35 points, or 0.9%, above fair value as the market tries to bounce from an oversold condition. The benchmark index enters the session down 16.3% for the year and below the 4,000 level.
A supportive factor has been the price action in the 10-yr yield, which is currently down seven basis points to 3.01% after hitting 3.20% in overnight trade on Monday. The 2-yr yield is down two basis points to 2.58%. The U.S. Dollar Index is flat at 103.65. WTI crude is down 0.6% to $102.46/bbl.
The growth-stock space, however, remains an unforgiving area, particularly for Peloton (PTON 10.21, -3.92, -27.7%), Upstart (UPST 35.80, -41.33, -53.6%), and Novavax (NVAX 41.16, -12.10, -22.7%) following their disappointing earnings reports and/or guidance.
