Stock Futures Point to a Higher Opening But EU Concerns Weigh. Stocks to Watch

April 19, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Wall StreetFutures are pointing higher this morning on earnings optimism, but investors cannot seem to shake the wariness over Europe. Jobless claims are also on tap this morning. Dow futures are currently up 34 points. Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures are also positive, up 14 and 4 points respectively.

The just released jobless numbers are likely to disappoint investors. Claims came in at 386k, a 2k drop thanks to the BLS revising the previous week upward. This time it was from 380k to 388k. Expectations were for a print of 374k. So the narrative that will emerge is that like the housing market, the labor market is beyond anemic and will likely lead to some sort of new stimulus.

This is based off the facts that austerity has been proven time and again not to work over in Europe. Only a matter of time at this point before the bailout talk regarding Spain begins in earnest.

Asia was a mixed bag overnight as Hong Kong rallied on US manufacturing news, while Japan slipped on the back of a stronger Yen. [Read more...]
