Dow Jones futures trimmed losses Thursday morning after the Labor Department’s initial unemployment claims. Earnings reports are due after the close from Amazon (AMZN) and Apple.




X



Early Thursday, first-time jobless claims rose to 227,000 vs. 221,000 in the previous week. They were expected to rise to 225,000.

Further, the U.S. Services Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) is due out at 9:45 a.m. with a 52.4 reading. Finally, the Institute for Supply Management services index, out at 10 a.m., is expected to ease to 53.0 in July vs. 53.9 in June.

Meanwhile, the Bank of England raised its key interest rate, from 5% to 5.25%, its highest level since February 2008.

Stock Market Earnings: PayPal, Qualcomm

Early Thursday, CF Industries (CF), DoorDash (DASH), Etsy (ETSY), Fastly (FSLY), HubSpot (HUBS), MercadoLibre (MELI), PayPal (PYPL), Qualcomm (QCOM), Shift4 Payments (FOUR), Shopify (SHOP), Unity Software (U) are key earnings movers.

CF stock inched lower Thursday premarket, while DoorDash shares rallied 4%. ETSY stock tumbled 9%, as Fastly shares jumped 8%.

HubSpot dived 7.6% early, as MELI stock advanced more than 5%. PayPal shares slid more than 7% in morning action.

Qualcomm plunged 8%, FOUR stock climbed 5% and Shopify lost 1.1% in morning action. Finally, Unity shares moved up around 6% ahead of the market open.

Late Thursday, tech titans Amazon and Apple (AAPL) are slated to report their highly anticipated earnings results.

Stock Market Today

Electric-vehicle giant Tesla (TSLA) traded down 0.4% early Thursday. Dow Jones tech giants Apple and Microsoft (MSFT) were modestly lower before today’s stock market open.

Other stock market leaders include Alphabet (GOOGL) and Meta Platforms (META). GOOGL stock lost 0.5%, while Meta shares dropped 0.8% in early action.

Broadcom (AVGO), Skechers (SKX), Splunk (SPLK) and UiPath (PATH) — as well as Dow Jones stocks Boeing (BA), Intel (INTC) and Salesforce (CRM) — are among the best stocks to watch in the now-struggling stock market rally.

Dow Jones Today: Oil Prices, Treasury Yields

Ahead of Thursday’s opening bell, Dow Jones futures dropped 0.2% vs. fair value, while S&P 500 futures lost 0.3%. Nasdaq 100 futures declined 0.5% in morning action.

Among U.S. exchange-traded funds, the Nasdaq 100 tracker Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) was down 0.5%, while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) fell 0.3% early Thursday.

The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield ticked higher to 4.15% Thursday morning. On Wednesday, the 10-year yield closed at its highest since early March, settling at 4.07%.

West Texas Intermediate oil prices pulled back from their recent highs, with big losses Wednesday. WTI futures extended those losses, falling modestly Thursday morning, to below $79.50 a barrel.

Stock Market Action

On Wednesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average sold off 1%, while the S&P 500 dropped 1.4%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite finished down 2.2%.

Wednesday’s Big Picture column commented, “The Nasdaq posted its biggest single-session drop in more than five months on Wednesday, and volume rose sharply. While earnings reports certainly deserved much of the blame, perhaps the primary news that helped stimulate sellers actually came from the debt markets. Long-dated U.S. government bonds fell hard after Fitch Ratings delivered the first downgrade of U.S. Treasury securities in 12 years.”

Now is an important time to read IBD’s The Big Picture column as the stock market pulls back from this year’s highs.

Tesla Stock

IBD Leaderboard stock Tesla skidded 2.7% Wednesday, falling sharply for a second day. Amid the pullback, Tesla shares are trying to find support around their key 50-day line. A decisive rebound would place the electric-vehicle leader in a new buy area.

TSLA stock threatened to add to Wednesday’s losses, trading down 0.4% Thursday morning.

Dow Jones Leaders: Apple, Microsoft

Among Dow Jones stocks, Apple stock dropped 1.55% Wednesday, falling from its recent highs. Still, AAPL stock is far above its 157.38 buy point and nicely above the 50-day line. Apple will report fiscal third-quarter results after the close. Early Thursday, shares fell 0.3% in morning action.

Microsoft shares closed Wednesday squarely below their 50-day line, a sign the stock needs more time to consolidate before a new buy point emerges. And on Thursday morning, Microsoft shares were down 0.3%.
