Market mixed as earnings and economy show improvement
2016-10-28 09:44:17
Stock futures improved, but finished the pre-market session mixed, following the release of better than expected third quarter GDP data. The favorable report follows this quarter's earnings to-date, which have been the best since 2014, suggesting a possible end to the "earnings recession." Investors will spend the day digesting the latest round of earnings data and look toward the consumer confidence reading due out at 10:00 am ET. In early trading, the Dow is up 43 points, the Nasdaq is down 9 points and the S&P is little changed.
