Futures suggest quiet open for equities
2017-03-20 07:22:33
Stock futures are slightly lower to start the week with little news that may give the market direction. There is little scheduled for release on the economic calendar, suggesting a continued malaise to market trading. The lone economic data point on tap is the Chicago Fed national activity index due out at 8:30 am ET. Oil prices remain under pressure and the price of WTI crude is struggling to stay near $48 a barrel. In early pre-market trading, Dow futures are 3 points below fair value, Nasdaq futures are 3 points below fair value and S&P futures are 1 point below fair value.
