00:08All right, futures mixed here this morning. S&P futures up 0.44%. They actually were up a little
00:14bit higher, but so far here in the pre-market, it's holding its VWAP and it's holding higher.
00:19The Dow futures were positive earlier, but have since crept into red. Now they're only down a
00:25percent. So Dow futures down 0.1% and they work in the green earlier this morning. NASDAQ leading
00:32the way higher and it has been doing this since the open of the futures last night on Sunday.
00:36NASDAQ up 1.18% here ahead of Monday's open. Now let's take a look at some cues from the
00:45last
00:45session here, as well as what we have on deck here for today. Healthcare, consumer staples,
00:51and utility stocks recorded the biggest gains on Thursday, driving most S&P 500 sectors to a
00:57close on a positive note. However, information technology and communication services stock
01:02closed lower. U.S. stock futures advanced on Monday as the Dow, NASDAQ and S&P 500 indices rose following
01:10Thursday's mixed close. The positive move followed a long Independence Day weekend, which saw the
01:16Nasdaq composite move down amid a decline of semiconductor stocks, even while the Dow Jones
01:21index surged to record highs during Thursday's session. Major updates this week include Elon Musk's
01:29SpaceX, or ticker SPCX, joining the Nasdaq 100 index before Tuesday's opening bell. This week's quarterly
01:38results from Pepsi, ticker PEP, and Delta Airlines, ticker DAL, will show investors how uncertainty
01:46and volatile oil prices have impacted consumers. SK Hynix will also list on the Nasdaq this Friday.
01:54Job growth cooled sharply in June, with payrolls rising just 57,000, well below the 115,000 consensus,
02:02and down from a revised 129,000 in May. April was also cut by 31,000, bringing the combined revisions
02:10to a net minus 74,000. Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.46% and the two-year
02:16bond was at 4.11%.
02:18The CME Group's Fed watch tool projections show that the markets are pricing in a 75.9% likelihood
02:23that the Federal Reserve leaves the current interest rates unchanged during the June meeting.
02:29Now, we've got several stocks in focus here for you today. The first one is actually going to be
02:33SanDisk here today. The ticker is SNDK, and shares rose 5.1% in the pre-market on Monday,
02:41rebounding from Thursday's sell-off. This comes as Samsung's third-quarter report, which is due
02:46Tuesday, and SK Hynix's Nasdaq listing on Friday would have a major bearing on the memory trade.
02:52And just as an aside here, it'll be interesting to see how all of the memory names trade leading into
02:58that listing for SK Hynix. The next stock on our list here is going to be Tesla. The ticker is
03:04TSLA,
03:05and it was 1.29% higher after it reported second-quarter deliveries of 480,126 vehicles,
03:13which did surpass estimates. The next stock on our list is going to be Intel, ticker INTC. It rose 3
03:20.46%
03:21after it reportedly hiked prices on its latest Arrow Lake desktop chips and select high-end data
03:29center processors, including the Xeon 8000 series. The next stock on our list is going to be CrowdStrike
03:37Holdings, and the ticker is CRWD. It was 0.16% higher after it began trading on a split-adjusted
03:44basis following its previously announced four-for-one stock split last week. Shareholders
03:51of record as of June 25th received three additional shares for each share held after the market closed
03:56on July 1st. The split did not change the company's market value, but reduced the per-share price and
04:01increased the number of outstanding shares. A big takeaway here on CrowdStrike is will it trade like
04:07other names that we've seen that split the price, namely Chipotle, which hasn't broken its downtrend
04:13since said split. The last stock on our list is going to be Ford Motor Company, and the ticker is
04:20F.
04:20It was 0.22% higher despite reporting a sharp drop in electric vehicle sales in the second quarter of
04:262026. A report published on Thursday Ford sold over 9,746 EVs in the U.S., which demonstrated a 40
04:34.7%
04:34year-over-year decline compared with second quarter 2025 numbers of 16,438 units.
04:45Thank you very much.
05:46You
