Stock Moves Since

 
 
 

Wall Street futures are trading lower this morning as rising tensions between the U.S. and China weigh heavily on investor sentiment. Reports that Beijing, under President Xi, has restricted American shipping companies from operating with a South Korean firm sparked fresh fears of a deeper trade rift. The ripple effects began in Asia, spread to Europe, and now extend to the U.S. pre-market session, where the Nasdaq leads the decline with a 1.3% drop.

Chip stocks are feeling the pressure once again. $INTC is down 4% after Bank of America issued a rare sell rating on the semiconductor giant, citing concerns over competition and slowing growth. $NVDA is also trading 2.2% lower in pre-market, extending its recent pullback amid broader weakness in the tech sector.

Investors are bracing for a busy earnings day with several major banks reporting results. $JPM is up 0.2% ahead of its Q3 earnings release, with Wall Street expecting earnings of $4.85 per share on $45.5 billion in revenue. The stock has already gained 28% year-to-date. $WFC is edging higher before its report, while $GS is slightly lower as it prepares to announce earnings of $11.04 per share on $14.1 billion in revenue. Earlier this week, Goldman Sachs confirmed plans to acquire venture capital firm Industry Ventures for up to $965 million, expanding its footprint in private markets.

Outside of banking, $JNJ is trading modestly higher after outlining plans to split parts of its business to unlock shareholder value. Meanwhile, $BLK posted adjusted Q3 earnings of $11.55 per share, topping expectations of $11.30, with assets under management rising to $13.46 trillion a 17% increase from a year earlier. Shares are up 0.5% in early trading.

Among today’s standout movers, $AVGO is down 2.4% after surging nearly 10% yesterday. The earlier rally followed news of a multi-year collaboration with OpenAI to develop and deploy 10 gigawatts of custom AI accelerators by 2029. Despite today’s dip, $AVGO remains up 54% for the year.

One of the most talked-about names in recent sessions, $MP continues its meteoric rise up another 7.3% today after a 21% jump yesterday. The rare-earth miner has surged nearly fivefold in recent months as China tightens export restrictions and the U.S. government increases its investments in domestic supply chains.

Elsewhere, $PII soared 11% after announcing plans to exit the motorcycle business through the sale of its Indian brand to Carolwood LP, a Los Angeles-based private equity firm. The move is expected to boost annual adjusted EPS by $1. Meanwhile, Sweden’s $ERIC jumped 15% following stronger-than-expected Q3 results and hints of an upcoming dividend increase, supported by robust cash flow.

Rounding out the chip story, $NVTS exploded 24% after unveiling a partnership with $NVDA to develop power systems optimized for next-generation AI hardware.

On the crypto front, $COIN and $HOOD both fell around 4%, tracking the latest slide in Bitcoin prices.

As geopolitical tensions rise and earnings season heats up, traders are watching whether Wall Street can shake off global uncertainty or if this is the start of a deeper pullback.
