U.S. stock futures point higher as earnings season continues

Dow Jones2021-08-03

U.S. stock futures pointed to a return to winning ways Tuesday, as traders grappled with concerns over how the global economy will withstand a more deadly variant of coronavirus as well as Chinese regulatory action.

U.S. stocks couldn't hold early gains on Monday as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 each ended lower, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite squeaked out a slight gain. The combined volume on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq was the seventh lowest of the year

What's driving markets

Mask mandates have been reintroduced in various U.S. regions including Louisiana and San Francisco to confront the delta strain of coronavirus. The U.S. did achieve the 70% vaccination target set by President Joe Biden. China announced fresh mass testing in Wuhan, the city where the disease was first discovered.

There's plenty of earnings still coming. Mall operator Simon Property Group $(SPG)$ late Monday raised its full-year guidance and lifted its dividend payment after reporting 92% occupancy, while office building owner $Vornado Realty Trust(VNO-N)$ $(VNO)$ met second-quarter estimates and reported a 97% rent collection rate .

Outdoor clothing maker Columbia Sportswear $(COLM)$ lifted its sales guidance. Video-games maker Take-Two Interactive $(TTWO)$ guided toward a weaker current quarter than analysts expected, and Chinese video games makers including Tencent tumbled in Hong Kong trade after a report suggested authorities would take action against them.

In Europe, oil giant BP (BP.LN) and Chrysler maker Stellantis (STLA.MI) advanced after their quarterly results.
