Stock futures were higher on Tuesday evening after Wall Street snapped a three-day string of declines.
Futures tied to the S&P 500 gained 0.8%, while Nasdaq 100 futures jumped 1.1%. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rose 251 points, or about 0.6%.
In after-hours trading, shares of Super Micro Computer pulled back more than 13% after the server company’s fiscal fourth-quarter earnings missed analyst estimates. Airbnb slipped 16% after issuing disappointing second-quarter results.
During Tuesday’s regular trading, the major averages ended three consecutive days of declines. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite each advanced 1%, while the 30-stock Dow added nearly 300 points. On Monday, the Dow and the broad-market S&P 500 posted their worst session since 2022, fueled by recession worries and the unwinding of the yen carry trade.
The staying power of Tuesday’s rebound, which lifted all 11 sectors of the S&P 500, remains to be seen. Tumultuous times are likely still ahead, according to LPL Financial chief global strategist Quincy Krosby.
“The lingering question now is whether the concerns that pushed the market into a cascade of selling are alleviated,” she said. “Pockets of volatility are expected to continue as August and September give way to a calmer seasonal period, however, it’s important to remember pockets of opportunity are always on the other side of the storm.”
Investors may find some optimism in the second-quarter earnings season overall, according to Vital Knowledge founder Adam Crisafulli.
“We’ve had some earnings reports out in the past 12 hours that have been a little bit encouraging,” he said on CNBC’s “Closing Bell: Overtime” Tuesday. “There definitely has been a slowing and cooling of the economy, but corporate America is evolving in response to it and they’re generating reasonably healthy earnings.”
Earnings season continues in earnest on Wednesday with Disney and CVS Health reporting before the opening bell. Results from Shopify and Novo Nordisk are also on deck.
