S&P 500 futures declined 0.5% on Wednesday night, marking a downturn after the index's nine-day winning streak. The Nasdaq 100 futures fell 0.6%, while Dow Jones Industrial Average futures showed a slight increase. This decline was largely driven by rising geopolitical tensions, particularly between the U.S. and Iran, which also led to a rise in oil prices and Treasury yields. Notable declines were seen in shares of Broadcom, which dropped 13% following a revenue miss for the fiscal second quarter, and CrowdStrike, which fell 10% due to lackluster revenue guidance. The S&P 500 index itself fell 0.74%, with the Nasdaq Composite down 0.89% and the Dow losing 620.72 points or 1.21%. Analysts like Keith Lerner from Truist Wealth suggested that a market pullback is expected after such strong performance, indicating that the bull market still holds potential despite this recent dip. Upcoming earnings reports from Ciena and Brown-Forman, along with labor cost and productivity data, are also anticipated by traders.
