Daily Morning Note – 15 June 2020
PHILLIP SUMMARY
Stock futures fell in overnight trading on Sunday (Eastern Time), pointing to more losses ahead, as investors grapple with signs of a second wave of coronavirus cases amid the reopening economy.
Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped about 350 points. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures were also down 1.5% and 1.2%, respectively.
The overnight action in futures markets followed a big pullback last week triggered by rising fears of a resurgence in the virus as well as investors’ profit-taking after the massive comeback.
The Dow and S&P 500 lost 5.5% and 4.7% last week, respectively, while the Nasdaq shed 2.3%. All three major equity benchmarks suffered their worst week since March 20.
