Early Indicator: Stock Market Futures Wednesday July 22, 2009

As we enter another big earnings day for the U.S. financial markets, the current stock market futures are mixed. Still a long day ahead, but two of the three major indices point lower. The only major U.S. index that is up is the NASDAQ, and that is most likely because Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) blew away Q3 estimates and traded as high as 159 a share in after hours trade. Will earnings continue to surprise on Wall Street, or will Apple have to pull the rest of the market with it to keep the bulls pleased another day?

The DOW Futures are down 14 points, NASDAQ Futures up by 2.00 points, and the S&P 500 Futures lower by 1.60 points. Sphere: Related Content
