The stock market is kicking off the day with a bit of a chill, as investors watch the government shutdown drag on and earnings reports keep rolling in. Gold, which has been on a hot streak, is cooling off after a big drop yesterday. Meanwhile, Tesla is gearing up to share its latest numbers, and Netflix is feeling the heat after missing its earnings mark.
The Dow Jones hit a new high yesterday, but today's futures are playing it cool, barely moving. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are also taking a breather, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq slipping a bit. Bitcoin, which has been on a wild ride, is down from its recent highs. The 10-year Treasury yield is also taking a small dip, which could mean good news for mortgage rates.
Gold has been losing its shine lately, dropping for the second day in a row after a huge fall yesterday. Investors seem to be feeling less anxious, with hopes that the government shutdown might end soon and that trade talks with China could pick up. Silver, which has also been on a high, is taking a hit as well.
Tesla is up next in the earnings game, and investors are eager to see how the company is doing. They'll be looking for updates on new, more affordable cars, as well as progress on self-driving tech and that robot they've been working on. Analysts expect big things, but with Tesla's stock already up a lot recently, it's anyone's guess how the market will react.
Netflix, on the other hand, is feeling the pressure after its earnings fell short of expectations. A surprise tax issue in Brazil threw a wrench in their plans, and now investors are reacting. Meanwhile, DraftKings is on the rise after snapping up a new company, Railbird, which could help it expand into the predictions market.
