The S&P 500 futures trade 31 points, or 0.8%, below fair value as inflation concerns pressure risk sentiment following a big rally effort yesterday.
Target (TGT 166.80, -48.48, -22.5%) is setting the negative tone with a 22.5% decline in pre-market action after missing EPS estimates on above-consensus revenue, citing "unusually high costs" that impacted profitability.
The disappointing news mirrors Walmart (WMT 128.75, -2.60, -2.0%) yesterday and has overshadowed Lowe's (LOW 188.50, -5.53, -2.9%) earnings beat today. Interestingly, TJX Co. (TJX 57.00, +0.81, +1.8%) is trading higher despite missing revenue estimates and issuing downside Q2 EPS guidance.
Persistently high oil prices ($114.42/bbl, +2.01, +1.8%) have added to inflation concerns while an uptick in long-term interest rates has dovetailed with the inflation-expectations narrative.
The 10-yr yield is up three basis points to 3.00%. The 2-yr yield is up three basis points to 2.70%. The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.3% to 103.63.
On the data front, investors will receive Housing Starts (Briefing.comconsensus 1.775 million) and Building Permits (Briefing.comconsensus 1.820 million) for April at 8:30 a.m. ET. Earlier, the weekly MBA Mortgage Applications Index dropped 11.0% following a 2.0% increase in the prior week.
