DJIA Futures: <\/b>+230 (+0.7%)<\/span><\/p>\n

SPX Futures: <\/b>+22 (+0.5%)<\/span><\/p>\n

NASDAQ Futures: <\/b>+62 (+0.5%)<\/span><\/p>\n

Good morning friends!<\/span><\/p>\n

Futures are higher as traders gear up for a new month of trade.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get right to it!<\/span><\/p>\n

Market May See June Gloom<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The <\/span>Dow <\/b>and the <\/span>S&P 500 <\/b>eked out 0.1% monthly gains in May while the <\/span>Nasdaq <\/b>fell for the second month in a row.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The tech-heavy index ended the month 2.1% lower, still deep in a bear market.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSell in May and go away\u201d rang true as volatility gripped the market with the Fed hiking rates and the global economy showing signs of slowing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Stocks have historically seen weaker performance between May and October.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dow logged its first 8-week losing streak since 1932 last month while the S&P and Nasdaq dropped for 7-straight weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now traders are gearing up for another month of potential gloom as June includes another Fed rate hike and the beginning of the bank\u2019s balance sheet reduction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That drawdown of the balance sheet is set to begin today at a pace of $30 billion in Treasury securities and $17.5 billion in mortgage-backed securities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The market has become increasingly worried the U.S. economy will drop into a recession as interest rates move higher.<\/span><\/p>\n

Delta Rises on Upgraded Guidance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Delta Airlines <\/b>(DAL) shares are rising 2% in premarket trade after the company hiked its Q2 revenue forecast.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In an SEC <\/span>filing<\/span><\/a> today, Delta said it expects revenue to return to 2019 levels in the current quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s up from its previous forecast for revenue to be at 93% to 97% 2019 levels this quarter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The upgraded guidance comes amid a surge in travel demand and higher fares.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Salesforce Pops on Earnings Beat, Upgraded Profit Outlook<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Salesforce <\/b>(CRM) shares are rallying 8.9% ahead of the open after beating fiscal Q1 expectations and hiking its full-year profit forecast.<\/span><\/p>\n

The software company reported adjusted earnings of $0.98 per share on $7.41 billion in revenue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That topped analysts\u2019 expectations for adjusted EPS of $0.94 on $7.38 billion in revenue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Revenue rose 24% year-over-year while net income was down 94% annually as costs jumped.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Salesforce reported $13.64 billion in unearned revenue, which comes from subscriptions.<\/span><\/p>\n

That was just shy of expectations for $13.76 billion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The company forecast adjusted fiscal Q2 earnings between $1.01 and $1.02 per share with revenue between $7.69 billion and $7.70 billion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the full year, Salesforce sees adjusted earnings of $4.74 to $4.76 per share on revenue between $31.7 billion and $31.8 billion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That was higher than analysts\u2019 estimates for full-year profits of $4.65 per share.<\/span><\/p>\n

HP Inc Rises On Strong Fiscal Q2 Results<\/strong><\/h2>\n

HP Inc <\/b>(HPQ) shares are up 0.6% in premarket trade after topping fiscal Q2 expectations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The computer maker reported adjusted earnings of $1.08 per share on $16.5 billion in revenue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That was better than analysts\u2019 expectations for adjusted EPS of $1.05 on $16.2 billion in revenue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The results were also at the high end of the company\u2019s target for earnings from $1.02 to $1.08 per share.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Commercial PC revenue rose 18% year over year while consumer revenue fell 6%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

HP bought back $1 billion worth of stock during the quarter, bringing the YTD total to $2.5 billion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The company\u2019s CEO said it remains committed to at least $4 billion in buybacks for the full fiscal year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

HP forecast fiscal Q3 non-GAAP earnings of $1.03 to $1.08 per share vs analysts\u2019 expectations for $1.02.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company expects full-year non-GAAP profits of $4.24 to $4.38 per share, up from the previous forecast of $4.14 to $4.38 and better than analysts\u2019 estimates for $4.25.<\/span><\/p>\n

Victoria\u2019s Secret Beats Q1 Profit Expectations<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Victoria\u2019s Secret <\/b>(VSCO) shares are jumping 10.2% ahead of the open after beating Q1 profit expectations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The lingerie retailer reported adjusted earnings of $1.11 per share vs expectations for $0.84.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The company\u2019s $1.48 billion in revenue was in line with expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sales were down 4.5% year-over-year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Victoria\u2019s Secret warned business will be challenging through the second half of the year as it faces \u201csupply chain headwinds\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company expects adjusted fiscal Q2 earnings between $0.95 and $1.25 per share vs $1.19 expected.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chinese EV Makers Report May Deliveries<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Li Auto <\/b>(LI), <\/span>Nio <\/b>(NIO), and <\/span>XPeng <\/b>(XPEV) are all rising in premarket trade after the Chinese electric vehicle makers reported strong May delivery numbers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Li Auto said it delivered 11,496 vehicles last month, up 166% compared to a year ago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nio delivered 7,024 vehicles in May, up just 4.7% year-over-year. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Nio\u2019s deliveries through the first 5 months of 2022 are up 11.8% compared to the same time in 2021.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Xpeng delivered 10,125 EVs in May, up 78% compared to May 2021.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The company\u2019s YTD deliveries are more than double compared to last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Oil Prices Rise On EU\u2019s Russian Ban, Shanghai Reopening<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Oil prices are rising further today following the EU\u2019s agreement to ban Russian oil imports and as Shanghai, China lifts Covid restrictions.<\/span><\/p>\n

West Texas Intermediate crude futures are up 1.5% to over $116 bbl while Brent crude futures are up 1.6% to over $117 bbl.<\/span><\/p>\n

Supply fears are being fueled by the EU\u2019s phased in ban of Russian imports.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Shanghai emerges from a Covid lockdown, demand from that country is also expected to rise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

U.S. Gas Prices Surge to Fresh Record<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The national average for a gallon of regular gas surged overnight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

AAA<\/span><\/a> shows that price jumped to $4.671\/gal today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s up nearly 5 cents from just yesterday when the price hit $4.622\/gal.<\/span><\/p>\n

$FB To Become $META<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Meta Platforms <\/b>(FB) announced Tuesday it will change its ticker symbol from $FB to $META next week.<\/span><\/p>\n

That change will go into effect prior to the start of trade on Thursday, June 9.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company said, “The new ticker symbol aligns with the company's rebranding from Facebook to Meta.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Facebook parent company officially changed its name in October 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manufacturing Activity Expected to Slow<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Institute for Supply Management and S&P Global both release their May purchase managers index for the U.S. manufacturing sector at 10:00 a.m. ET.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The ISM survey is expected to slip to 54.5% from 55.4% in April.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Economists expect the S&P Global PMI to fall to 57.3 from 57.5.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Manufacturing has remained a bright spot in the U.S. economy but manufacturers are facing increased pressure from an ongoing labor shortage and global supply chain disruptions.<\/span><\/p>\n

JOLTS Preview<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Labor Department releases its Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) for April at 10:00 a.m. ET.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That report is expected to show the number of job openings slipped to 11.4 million in April from a record-high 11.5 million in March.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

U.S. employers have said their number one challenge is finding qualified workers as inflation puts more pressure on wages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the first big piece of jobs data this week with the ADP private jobs report due on Thursday and the official May jobs report on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Case You Missed It<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • U.S. home prices soared in March. The S&P CoreLogic Case Shiller national home price index jumped 20.6% year-over-year. The 20-city index jumped 21.2% while the 10-city index was up 19.5%. All three were an acceleration from February, even as mortgage rates rose. Tampa saw the largest increase, with prices up 34.8% annually. Prices rose 32.4% in Phoenix and 32% in Miami.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Consumer confidence fell less than expected in May as inflation pressures persist. The Conference Board\u2019s consumer confidence index slipped to 106.4. That was down from a revised 108.6 in April but better than expectations for 103.9. Confidence in current economic conditions fell to 149.6 from 152.9 while the six-month outlook fell to 77.5 from 79.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
