The Facebook parent tumbled as much as 15% in premarket trading after it projected second-quarter sales below analyst expectations and increased spending estimates for the year. Alphabet Inc., which reports earnings later along with Microsoft Corp., also dropped. S&P 500 futures slid 0.6%.Europe’s Stoxx 600 Index edged lower as traders processed a deluge of corporate updates on the busiest day of the earnings season. Anglo American Plc soared 14% after rival BHP Group made an all-share takeover proposal valuing it at £31.1 billion ($38.8 billion) in a deal that would create the world’s largest copper miner.The stakes are high for earnings from the tech behemoths after the frenzy around artificial intelligence powered Wall Street’s record-breaking rally. The market’s reaction is a sign of how expectations of the boost from AI to profits at companies developing the technology may have run ahead of expectations.“I think we are just hitting a little bit of a reality check,” Sonja Laud, chief investment officer at Legal & General Investment Management, said on Bloomberg Television. “This doesn’t take away the excitement around the potential going forward, but it’s probably valuation coming back to a more realistic pathway.”Aside from results, traders are keenly awaiting US economic growth figures due later after weeks of scaling back their expectations for Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg predict GDP likely cooled to around 2.5% in the first quarter, with the figures still potentially suggesting persistent inflationary pressures.“Any downside surprises could see markets bringing expected Fed interest rate cuts earlier — after having been pushed out to much later this year,” economists at Rand Merchant Bank in Johannesburg said. “However, upside surprises could see continued market volatility as the market tries to ascertain the risk that a hotter-than-expected economy poses to anticipated interest-rate cuts.”The yen extended losses after weakening beyond 155 per dollar for the first time in more than three decades on Wednesday, heightening the chances of intervention ahead of Bank of Japan’s policy decision Friday. The Japanese currency depreciated to as weak as 155.74 per dollar on Thursday, a new 34-year low. The BOJ is forecast to keep its interest rate settings unchanged, while the yen’s plunge makes it more likely the bank will tone down its stance on keeping policy easy.Governor Kazuo Ueda’s press conference “is expected to take a hawkish tone, and even if depreciation in the yen doesn’t accelerate, the government is likely to intervene at the same time and swing the yen stronger by about 5 yen,” said Eiji Dohke, a strategist at SBI Securities. The first intervention would probably be of trillions of yen followed by smaller long-term purchases, he said.Treasuries were little changed after yields rose in the previous session. Investors absorbed a $70 billion sale of five-year Treasuries on Wednesday at a slightly higher-than-anticipated yield, following an even-stronger show of demand for the auction of two-year notes on Tuesday. Another $44 billion of issuance is due on Thursday, with the sale of of seven-year notes. A gauge of dollar strength ticked lower.In Asian stocks, a regional gauge dropped 1% as shares in South Korea and Japan tumbled. Stocks outperformed in Hong Kong amid increased purchases by Chinese investors. Mainland traders have snapped up $20 billion of Hong Kong stocks on a net basis since March, putting the market on track for the biggest two-month inflow since 2021, BNP strategists including Jason Lui said in a note.Meanwhile, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the world’s largest economies must “lay out our differences,” as he began two days of talks in China, with the threat of US sanctions targeting Beijing over its support of Russia’s war in Ukraine looming over his visit.Corporate Highlights:Barclays Plc posted first-quarter revenue that topped analyst estimates after its stock traders collected a surprise windfall from tumultuous global markets.Deutsche Bank AG relied on its traders and investment bankers to make up for a slowdown in income from lending, as Chief Executive Officer Christian Sewing seeks to deliver on an ambitious revenue goal.BNP Paribas SA’s fixed-income traders trailed all of the large Wall Street banks in the first quarter, taking the shine off a strong performance in other parts of the investment bank.Unilever Plc sales jumped more than expected in the first quarter as Chief Executive Officer Hein Schumacher pushes ahead with his turnaround plan.Nestle SA sales growth sputtered in the first quarter as the maker of Nespresso coffee was hit by cooler demand in North America and supply constraints at its vitamins unit.STMicroelectronics NV reported weaker sales than analysts expected, exacerbated by a slowdown in chip demand from the automotive sector.AstraZeneca Plc’s profit rose in the first quarter, buoyed by demand for its cancer blockbusters Imfinzi and Tagrisso as well as newcomer Enhertu.Hermes saw Chinese buyers snap up its luxury products as the Kelly bag maker showed its resilience amid a broader slowdown in demand for the sector.Pernod Ricard SA said quarterly sales were flat as weak demand in the US and China markets for its pricey booze continued.Holcim Ltd. reported better-than-expected earnings for the first quarter as the Swiss manufacturer is pushing ahead with plans to list its North America unit.Key events this week:US GDP, wholesale inventories, initial jobless claims, ThursdayMicrosoft, Alphabet, Airbus earnings, ThursdayJapan rate decision, Tokyo CPI, inflation and GDP forecasts, FridayUS personal income and spending, PCE deflator, University of Michigan consumer sentiment, FridayExxon Mobil, Chevron earnings, FridaySome of the main moves in markets:StocksS&P 500 futures fell 0.5% as of 6:06 a.m. New York timeNasdaq 100 futures fell 0.9%Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.3%The Stoxx Europe 600 fell 0.2%The MSCI World index fell 0.1%CurrenciesThe Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index fell 0.1%The euro rose 0.3% to $1.0727The British pound rose 0.4% to $1.2511The Japanese yen fell 0.2% to 155.62 per dollarCryptocurrenciesBitcoin fell 0.3% to $63,858.46Ether fell 0.2% to $3,124.7BondsThe yield on 10-year Treasuries was little changed at 4.64%Germany’s 10-year yield declined one basis point to 2.58%Britain’s 10-year yield declined three basis points to 4.31%CommoditiesWest Texas Intermediate crude was little changedBrent crude was little changedGold futures  was little changed","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0},"commentList":[],"hasMoreComments":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
