Stocks began today's session on a negative note after the September Empire Manufacturing Survey registered its worst reading since April 2009. The bearish sentiment was then extended as unfounded rumors of tapping into the strategic petroleum reserve sent the major averages to fresh session lows. As a result, the S&P 500 ended lower by 0.3%.
Today after the close no companies reported earnings.
Futures are lower after hours: S&P 500 futures are -0.33 from fair value of 1454.23 and Nasdaq100 futures are -2.07 from fair value of 2849.32.
Tomorrow morning before the open two economic reports are scheduled to be released: 1) Current Account Balance (Consensus -126.8B), and 2) Net Long-Term TIC Flows.
Tomorrow before the open the following companies are scheduled to report earnings: FDX, MANU, SHF
