US open: Stocks mixed following MLK Day break
(Sharecast News) - Wall Street stocks were mixed early on Tuesday as traders returned from the Martin Luther King Jr Day break to more bank earnings and headlines from the Republican Party's Iowa caucus. As of 1545 GMT, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.29% at 37,482.46, while the S&P 500 was 0.07% weaker at 4,780.26 and the Nasdaq Composite came out the gate 0.11% firmer at 14,988.78.
The Dow opened 110.52 points lower on Tuesday, extending losses recorded on Friday as the first batch of quarterly earnings came rolling in.
Corporate earnings were again in focus on Tuesday, with Goldman Sachs reporting fourth-quarter results that topped Wall Street expectations, driven by better-than-expected asset and wealth management revenues, while Morgan Stanley reported a slide in fourth-quarter income as costs in its core wealth management division jumped.
Elsewhere, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose more than five basis points early on Tuesday and was sitting just below the key 4% level. The two-year and 30-year notes were also higher after European central bankers talked down expectations for interest rate cuts in the immediate future.
Also drawing an amount of investor attention, Donald Trump won the Republican caucus in Iowa by a landslide, claiming 51% of the vote for the biggest win in history. He told supporters: "The big night is going to be in November, when we take back our country." Following the news, European Central Bank president Christine Lagarde warned that a second term in office for the former president would undoubtedly represent a global threat.
On the macro front, the New York Empire State manufacturing index fell to -43.7 in January, according to the Federal Reserve, the lowest reading since May 2020, pointing to a sharp drop in manufacturing activity in the state. New orders fell to -49.4 and shipments dropped to -31.3, down from -11.3 and -6.4, respectively, while unfilled orders continued to shrink significantly. Delivery times shortened to -8.4 from -15.6, inventories edged lower to -7.4 from -5.2, while employment and the average workweek declined modestly.
Still to come, Federal Reserve banker Christopher Waller will deliver a speech at 1600 GMT.
