March S&P 500 E-Mini futures (ESH25) are up +0.11%, and March Nasdaq 100 E-Mini futures (NQH25) are up +0.28% this morning, partially rebounding from yesterday’s slump on Wall Street, while investors brace for U.S. business activity data.
In yesterday’s trading session, Wall Street’s three main equity benchmarks closed in the red. Walmart (WMT) slid over -6% and was the top percentage loser on the Dow after the world’s largest retailer issued below-consensus FY26 guidance. Also, EPAM Systems (EPAM) tumbled more than -12% and was the top percentage loser on the S&P 500 after the company provided a disappointing full-year EPS forecast. In addition, Carvana (CVNA) plunged over -12% after the company reported a decline in gross profit per vehicle and lower wholesale volumes for the fourth quarter. On the bullish side, Hasbro (HAS) climbed nearly +13% and was the top percentage gainer on the S&P 500 after the toymaker posted better-than-expected Q4 results.
