Futures mixed at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on Chairman Powell’s likely Fed meeting as Chair along with chatter that the US would stick with the blockade of Iranian ports. Oil on the move once again with a busy earnings day and economic calendar coming due.

From Bloomberg

  • "Stock traders are buying the dip in technology shares as markets get ready for earnings from four juggernauts in a crucial test of whether this month’s rally has room to run.

  • Nasdaq 100 futures rebounded 0.4% after the index slipped more than 1% in the previous session. Alphabet Inc., Microsoft Corp., Amazon.com Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc. are set to report after the close, with all four firms among the outsized drivers of a four-week rally that has pushed US stocks to record highs. The sector outperformed in Europe and Asia as well.

  • Treasuries, meanwhile, nudged lower ahead of the Federal Reserve’s latest interest-rate announcement at what is likely Jerome Powell’s final meeting as chair. Brent rose above $114 a barrel after the US signaled it would stick with a naval blockade of Iranian ports, leaving the Strait of Hormuz impassable."
