Dow Jones futures skidded lower Thursday after another hot inflation report came out before the market open. Key earnings movers were banking giants JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Morgan Stanley (MS), along with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM).

Shares of both JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley dropped in early trade after weaker-than-expected results. Chip manufacturer TSMC stock moved up almost 2% after beating second-quarter estimates and offering a better-than-expected forecast for the current period.

Chip giant Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) rose 1% after BMO Capital upgraded the stock from market perform to outperform with a raised price target of 115. Tesla (TSLA) declined about 1% early Thursday.

Elsewhere, Dow Jones tech leaders Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) were down around 1% each ahead of today’s stock market open. Dow Jones stock Cisco Systems (CSCO) fell more than 2% following an analyst downgrade.

In a volatile stock market environment, Dow Jones leaders Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Merck (MRK) and UnitedHealth (UNH) — as well as BJ’s Wholesale Club (BJ), Dollar Tree (DLTR), Northrop Grumman (NOC) and Quanta Services (PWR) — are among the stocks to watch. Keep in mind that ongoing stock market volatility is a reason to stay defensive.

Dow Jones Today: Treasury Yields, Oil Prices, Inflation Report

Before Thursday’s open, Dow Jones futures sold off 1.4%, S&P 500 futures dropped 1.25% and Nasdaq 100 futures were down 0.9% vs. fair value. Remember that overnight action in Dow futures and elsewhere doesn’t necessarily translate into actual trading in the next regular stock market session.

Among exchange-traded funds, the Nasdaq 100 tracker Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) moved down 0.9%. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) fell 1.3%.

The 10-year Treasury yield ticked higher to 2.95% Thursday morning, looking to halt a three-day skid. Meanwhile, U.S. oil prices extended this week’s losses, sliding more than 2% in early action. West Texas Intermediate traded near $94 per barrel — its lowest level since April 11.

The Labor Department’s Producer Price Index showed prices up 1.1% in June, higher than estimates that called for a 0.8% rise. Producer inflation jumped 11.3% year-over-year, much hotter than the 10.4% estimates and higher than May’s 10.8% increase. The producer price index is a measure of pricing strength based on selling prices received by domestic producers for their output.

Meanwhile, first-time unemployment claims rose to 244,000 vs. 235,000 in the prior week.

Stock Market Rally

On Wednesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.7%, while the S&P 500 moved down 0.45%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite pared heavy losses to 0.15%.

Wednesday’s The Big Picture column commented, “The S&P 500 marked its fourth straight decline. Thus, it gutted nearly all of the nice gains of 3% achieved during a four-day upswing. NYSE volume, meanwhile, rose slightly. That marks a third day of distribution since the market outlook changed to a confirmed uptrend with the June 24 follow-through day.”
