Stock futures drifted during the early session and closed below fair value. The futures action led to a quiet open but the averages have turned mixed in early trading, with the Dow leading and the Nasdaq lagging. The early economic reports, which included the housing starts and building permits data, had little effect on the market as the top story remains the trade war between the U.S. and China. In early trading, the S&P is up 4 points, the Dow is up 133 points and the Nasdaq is down 13 points.
