DJIA Futures: <\/b>-153 (-0.5%)<\/span><\/p>\n

SPX Futures: <\/b>-18 (-0.4%)<\/span><\/p>\n

NASDAQ Futures: <\/b>-52 (-0.4%)<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Futures are slipping amid economic growth concerns after another big profit warning.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Credit Suisse Slips On Profit Warning<\/span><\/h2>\n

Credit Suisse <\/b>(CS) shares are falling 7.1% in premarket trade after the company issued a Q2 profit warning.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a new <\/span>trading update<\/span><\/a>, Credit Suisse said it will likely report a loss in the current quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Swiss lender cited the war in Ukraine, Central Bank tightening, and the end of Covid stimulus as reasons for that downgraded forecast.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Credit Suisse said 2022 as a whole will remain a year of \u201ctransition\u201d and it will accelerate cost-cutting measures \u201cwith the aim of maximizing savings from 2023 onwards\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fed GDP Tracker Shows Economy Inching Toward Recession<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Atlanta Fed\u2019s <\/span>GDPNow tracker<\/span><\/a> now shows the U.S. economy expanding just 0.9% in Q2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s down from expectations for 1.3% growth a week ago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The revised outlook comes after the release of weak economic data in recent weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Consumer spending is now expected to rise 3.7% vs the previous 4.4% estimate.<\/span><\/p>\n

And real gross private domestic investment (GPDI) is expected to shave 8.5% off overall GDP growth, higher than the previous estimate for an 8.3% hit.<\/span><\/p>\n

GPDI is a measure of how much domestic businesses are investing in the economy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The GDPNow tracker is updated in real-time based on the most recent data.<\/span><\/p>\n

The U.S. economy contracted 1.5% in Q1 as the trade deficit soared to a record-high.<\/span><\/p>\n

That gap declined by more than $20 billion in April.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The trade deficit is now expected to shave off 0.13% in GDP growth this quarter down from the previous estimate of -0.25%.<\/span><\/p>\n

The official definition of a recession is two straight quarters of negative economic growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Campbell Soup Rises On Earnings Beat<\/span><\/h2>\n

Campbell Soup <\/b>(CPB) shares are up 2.8% ahead of the open after beating fiscal Q3 expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The food company reported adjusted earnings of $0.70 per share on $2.13 billion in revenue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That was better than analysts\u2019 expectations for adjusted EPS of $0.61 on $2.042 billion in revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Campbell\u2019s CEO said, “Our improved supply chain execution along with inflation-driven pricing began to mitigate the margin pressure we have experienced over the last 12 months.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The company expects full-year sales growth up to 1% vs its previous forecast for sales to fall up to 2%.<\/span><\/p>\n

That beat analysts\u2019 estimates for full-year sales of $8.411 billion which would be a 0.8% decline.<\/span><\/p>\n

Roku Rallies On Rumored Netflix Acquisition Discussions<\/span><\/h2>\n

Roku <\/b>(ROKU) shares are rising 5.2% in premarket trade following a Business Insider <\/span>report<\/span><\/a> that the company\u2019s employees are discussing the possibility of being acquired by <\/span>Netflix <\/b>(NFLX).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Management is reportedly aware of those discussions and abruptly closed the trading window for all employees in response.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That prevents employees from selling any of their vested ROKU stock.<\/span><\/p>\n

ROKU shares are down more than 70% over the past year while NFLX shares have tumbled nearly 60%.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spirit Extends Talks with Frontier, JetBlue<\/span><\/h2>\n

Spirit Airlines <\/b>(SAVE) shares are slipping 0.7% ahead of the open after the company postponed its shareholder meeting to continue talks with <\/span>Frontier Group <\/b>(ULCC) and <\/span>JetBlue <\/b>(JBLU).<\/span><\/p>\n

The company pushed that meeting from this Friday to June 30.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shareholders were originally set to vote on the cash-and-stock Frontier merger this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

But JetBlue sweetened its takeover offer earlier this week, offering $31.50 per share and a higher breakup fee if the deal is blocked by regulators.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mortgage Demand Tumbles To 22-Year Low<\/span><\/h2>\n

Mortgage demand has tumbled to the lowest level in 22 years as rates rise and supply remains low.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mortgage Bankers Association reported total application volume fell 6.5% last week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Purchase applications were down 7% weekly and 21% year-over-year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While refinance applications fell 6% weekly and tumbled 75% compared to a year ago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The average 30-year contract rate rose to 5.40% from 5.33%.<\/span><\/p>\n

New data from Mortgage News Daily shows those rates have moved even higher this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oil Prices Rise\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Oil prices are rising today as the market expects higher demand from China and as Norwegian oil workers prepare to strike.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

West Texas Intermediate crude futures are up 0.9% to over $120 bbl while Brent crude futures are rising 0.9% to over $121 bbl.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some crude output is at risk of being shutdown as Norwegian oil workers plan to strike over pay starting on June 12.<\/span><\/p>\n

The American Petroleum Institute reported Tuesday that U.S. crude inventories rose by 1.8 million barrels last week, while gas inventories also rose by 1.8 million barrels.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Energy Information Administration releases official stock levels at 10:30 a.m. ET.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs raised its outlook for oil prices over the next 12 to 18 months.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bank now expects Brent crude prices to rise to $140 a barrel as early as this summer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But the group says Americans will feel more pain as limited refinery capacity will push gas prices even higher than usual.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

U.S. Gas Prices Surge Again<\/span><\/h2>\n

The national average for a gallon of regular gas jumped sharply again overnight.<\/span><\/p>\n

AAA<\/span><\/a> shows that price rose to $4.955\/gal today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s up nearly 4 cents from just yesterday and nearly 30 cents from a week ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the current pace of gains, the national average is on track to top $5\/gal this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Uranium Stocks Pop<\/span><\/h2>\n

Uranium stocks are rising ahead of the open after rallying on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Global X Uranium ETF <\/b>(URA) is up 1.9% in premarket trade after closing 6% higher on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rally comes amid news the Biden Administration is looking to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign uranium, specifically from Russia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The White House has reportedly asked Congress to fund a $4.3 billion plan to buy enriched uranium from domestic suppliers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Novavax Jumps on FDA Panel Vote For Covid Vaccine<\/span><\/h2>\n

Novavax <\/b>(NVAX) shares are up 8.6% in premarket trade after an FDA panel voted to recommend the company\u2019s Covid vaccine for adults.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The FDA advisory committee voted unanimously on Tuesday in favor of the shot.<\/span><\/p>\n

It still needs full FDA approval but the agency typically follows the committee\u2019s recommendation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Officials expect the vaccine to be cleared by the FDA for distribution in the U.S. as soon as this week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The CDC would then need to approve the shots before they can be administered to patients.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Case You Missed It<\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • The World Bank slashed its global economic growth forecast on Tuesday and warned of 1970s-style stagflation on the horizon. The bank now expects the global economy to expand 2.9% in 2022, down from their January forecast for 4.1% growth. That would be a sharp slowdown from 5.7% global growth in 2021. The World Bank president said, \u201cFor many countries, recession will be hard to avoid.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
