Today at a Glance
Previous Day Summary
Yesterday, the S&P 500 fell 4.36%, the Nasdaq fell 5.52%, and the Dow fell 3.44%. The technology sector widened the decline, dropping 8%, while communication, utilities, and consumer staples also fell but remained relatively resilient. The Volatility Index (VIX, the market's expected stock price fluctuation range) jumped to 28.18, increasing investor anxiety.
Current Market Sentiment
Following the sharp drop in tech stocks, some attempts at a rebound have appeared, but risk aversion continues across the overall market. As of 16:45 KST in delayed quotes, Nasdaq futures rose 0.79%, while S&P 500 and Dow futures fell 0.09% and 1.13%, respectively. This is based on futures inquiry data. As concerns over data center regulations clash with individual corporate earnings improvements, the key is whether today's employment data will heighten interest rate burdens or concerns over an economic slowdown.
Pre-Market News Roundup
Today's Events
* $ENB: The expected earnings per share is $0.36. The cash generation capability of the pipeline business and the progress of new businesses are key points to watch.
* $MRNA: It remains to be seen how much vaccine sales and cost reductions reduced quarterly losses. Future product sales outlook is also important.
* $HUM: The expected quarterly loss per share is $1.00. It is necessary to see if the annual adjusted earnings per share outlook of $9.00 is maintained.
* $VST: It is time to check if data center power demand leads to actual contracts and business outlooks. Costs required for capital expenditure should also be monitored.
Macro Schedule
This indicator shows job trends excluding agriculture. The estimate is 6.5, and the previous value is 2.9. The unit of the figure is unconfirmed. A stronger-than-expected result is expected to lower expectations for interest rate cuts, while a weaker result is expected to heighten concerns over an economic slowdown.
Both the estimate and the previous value are 4.2. It is easier to judge the employment situation when read alongside job growth. If a rising unemployment rate coincides with a slowdown in employment, it will also place pressure on the consumption outlook.
The previous value is 48, and no estimate was provided. This shows how households perceive the economic situation. Worsening sentiment is expected to lower sales expectations for consumer-related companies.
This refers to the level of future inflation expected by consumers. The previous value was 4.7, and no estimate was provided. If expectations rise, it may be interpreted as ongoing inflationary instability, which is expected to increase the burden of interest rates.

Stocks to Watch
NVIDIA is sensitive to the pace of data center investment. Today's key points of interest are whether regional regulations and permitting burdens will lead to delays in facility investment, and whether expectations for semiconductor demand are maintained.
Walmart is a stock to watch alongside employment and consumer sentiment. Checking how today's indicators reflect household spending capacity and willingness to consume will help in understanding the movement of consumer-related stocks.
