The stock market is poised for a higher open, supported by a drop in Treasury yields and some modest gains in mega cap stocks ahead of NVIDIA's (NVDA) earnings report after the close. The 10-yr note yield is down six basis points to 4.27%. The 2-yr note yield is down five basis points to 4.99%.
The moves in the Treasury market are in response to some soft PMI data out of the Europe. Regional preliminary Manufacturing PMIs for August were mostly better than expected. However, the Service PMIs generally missed expectations.
Several retailers reported results, which have been met with mixed reactions. Foot Locker (FL), for example, is down more than 30% after its earnings report while Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) is up better than 15%.
Earlier, it was reported that the weekly mortgage applications index declined 4.2% with purchase applications down 5.0%, hitting their lowest level since 1995, and refinancing applications down 3.0%.
