As investors examined the most recent business profits and considered the impending Federal Reserve policy meeting, stock futures fell Tuesday morning. Awaiting news from big IT companies was another expectation for traders.
Although Nasdaq 100 futures had a little decline, S&P 500 futures saw a 0.1% decline. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures decreased by 0.2%, or 57 points.
Sanmina, an electronics producer, surged more than 18% after revealing good profits per share and current-quarter guidance, while cybersecurity stock F5 surged 10% on the strength of a better-than-expected financial report. However, Whirlpool, a manufacturer of home appliances, saw a more than 4% decline after disclosing a lower-than-expected estimate for the entire year.
