Equities were little changed during today's session. With no economic data to digest, investors expressed caution after Italy's Prime Minister Mario Monti announced plans to submit his resignation upon the successful approval of the country's budget. However, afternoon reports from the Financial Times indicated Italy's centrist parties are urging Mr. Monti to run on their ticket in next year's election. Domestically, trade was confined to a narrow range and volume was well below-average. As a result, the S&P 500 finished flat.
Today after the close the following companies are scheduled to report earnings: ABM, CASY, IRET, PPHM, SURG, TEA, MCC, ENZ
Futures are mixed after hours: S&P 500 futures are -1.28 from fair value of 1417.68 and Nasdaq100 futures are +0.50 from fair value of 2646.00.
