Nasdaq futures dropped about 2% premarket, leading the other indexes lower — and more in Monday’s stock market recap.
Dow and S&P 500 futures were also down more than 1% premarket as bond yields continue to rise while investors doubt the Federal Reserve will get inflation under control.
Two key reports — the Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index — come out on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. That should give us a better idea of how inflation is affecting consumers and producers alike.
The earnings season sell-off continues with Rivian Automotive Inc. (Nasdaq: RIVN) down 19% in extended trading on news that Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) plans to offload 8 million shares. Rivian is down 72% in 2022 and reports earnings Wednesday.
New Money Crew Head Trader Lance Ippolito has been short this stock for a while now, and called for it to head lower in last Wednesday’s WealthPress Live Roundtable.
