Stock Futures are Slightly Higher as Investors Evaluate Latest Batch of Earnings

Stock futures increased on Wednesday night as investors took in bigger corporate earning reports. 

Futures tied to Dow Jones increased 63 points or 0.1%, those tied to S & P 500 increased by 0.1%, and Nasdaq 100 increased by 0.2%. 

Disney shares increased by more than 5%.

In the regular trading session, the Dow decreased 207 points or 0.6%. S & P 500 decreased by 1.1%. Nasdaq decreased by 1.7%.

The next phase would depend on the Fed’s next step on policy.

“The next level that the rally could go to would be about that 4300, which gets you back to the august high. But then once we would get to 4300, we’d be trading at 19 and a half times earnings- that’s really, really expensive unless you have a Fed that’s actively easing policy” Cameron Dawson said.

On Thursday another batch of earning reports was expected by the investors. Hilton Pepsico and Kellogs would be reporting their results before Thursday morning.
