Stock futures are little changed as traders hope for a debt ceiling deal: Live updates
U.S. stock futures were flat Thursday as Wall Street hoped that the debt ceiling crisis would soon see a resolution.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rose 15 points. Futures linked to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 were also up slightly.
Regional banks were set to build on their strong gains from the previous session. The SPDR S&P Regional Bank ETF (KRE) traded 1.3% higher after rising more than 7% on Wednesday. Shares of PacWest popped nearly 6%.
Wall Street is coming off a strong session, with the major averages jumping more than 1% each on Wednesday, as hope for a possible debt ceiling deal grew.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Wednesday that he does not believe the U.S. will default on its debt. President Joe Biden also stated in later remarks that he was confident lawmakers would come together to reach a deal and avoid a default.
Meanwhile, Wells Fargo’s head of equity strategy Chris Harvey was skeptical that progress has been made in Washington on the debt ceiling talks.
“We still think that macro is going to start to weigh over things. We think people are getting too excited about the debt ceiling in the short term. And we think that there’s probably some more downside as we go forward in time,” Harvey said Wednesday on CNBC’s “Closing Bell: Overtime.”
“We think it’s going to get a little bit more tenuous as we go forward in time,” he continued. “We do think a deal [will] get done, but we think it’s too optimistic at this point in time.”
Investors will be looking toward retail giant Walmart’s earnings report Thursday for insights on the health of the consumer. China-based tech giant Alibaba is also set to report earnings before the bell.
Wall Street will also watch out for the weekly jobless claims numbers to gauge the strength of the labor market. The Philadelphia Fed’s manufacturing survey numbers for May, as well as existing home sales data for April, are also slated to be released Thursday morning.
