Dow Jones Futures Fall On Moody’s Debt Warning; Boeing Surges On $52 Billion Order

Dow Jones Futures Plunge on Moody’s U.S. Debt Warning; Boeing Scores $52 Billion Deal With Emirates

On Monday morning, Dow Jones futures took a nosedive in response to a warning from Moody’s about U.S. debt. However, there was a glimmer of hope for Dow Jones aerospace powerhouse Boeing (BA) as it experienced a surge after Dubai carrier Emirates made a whopping $52 billion order for the company’s jets. This deal comes as Moody’s Investors Service slashed its U.S. outlook to negative from stable last Friday due to high budget deficits and political polarization.

Despite the warning, Moody’s maintained its AAA rating for U.S. sovereign debt. Nevertheless, the agency expressed concerns about the fiscal deficits and debt affordability remaining at significant levels in the absence of effective measures to reduce government spending and increase revenues.

This week, the focus will be on economic indicators such as October’s consumer price index, which is expected to show a 0.1% overall increase. Additionally, the producer price index and U.S. retail sales reports will be released.

On the stock market front, Boeing rallied 3.5% on Monday after landing the $52 billion deal with Emirates. Meanwhile, Monday.com (MNDY), Tower Semi (TSEM), and Tyson Foods (TSN) reported mixed performances.

As the market opened on Monday, Dow Jones futures dipped 0.1% while S&P 500 futures fell 0.2%. Amid this, the Nasdaq 100 tracker Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) lost 0.25%. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond ticked higher to 4.63%, and oil prices were on the rise.

In an overall positive market rally, Dow Jones leaders such as Amazon (AMZN), Intel (INTC), Walmart (WMT), and UnitedHealth (UNH) are among the best stocks to watch. However, such promising growth stocks are also being closely followed by Tesla (TSLA), Nvidia (NVDA), Apple (AAPL), and Microsoft (MSFT).

So, while Dow Jones futures may have initially suffered a setback, the stock market is expected to remain buzzing with activity and potential opportunities.
