Closing Bell Movers: Snowflake jumps 7% on earnings

In the opening hour of the evening session, U.S. equity futures are down modestly, extending Wednesday’s broader declines.  S&P 500 is down 0.1% at 5,855, Nasdaq 100 is off by 0.1% at 21,139, and Dow Industrials are slipping 0.2% below 41,900 level.  In commodities, WTI Crude Oil is down 0.4% at $61.31 as rumors of escalation in the Middle East are replaced by worries over global growth, while Gold is up another 0.2% at $3,321 per ounce. 

Fiscal debt and deficit worries amid Congressional budget deliberations took center stage in U.S. hours today, punctuated by weak demand in the 20-year U.S. Treasury auction mid-day.  The yield on the 10-year rose to three-month highs of 4.6% and that of the 30-year eclipsed the 5% threshold.  Stocks were likewise spooked by the Treasury selloff as higher rates contributed to Real Estate being the worst performing sector on the S&P 500, followed by Health Care and Financials.  Communication Services sector outperformed  however thanks to strength in shares of Alphabet.
