UPGRADEHere is what you need to know on Tuesday, January 18:
Goldman (GS) kept up the disappointing bank season so far when it missed on EPS, while revenue was ahead of estimates. The stock dropped 4% immediately after. This follows on from Citi (C) and JPMorgan (JPM) disappointing investors last week, and bank stocks will slump further today as a result.
Tech stocks looked set for a shaky opening as a yield surge led Nasdaq futures 2% lower at one stage this morning. However, Microsoft (MSFT) coming after Activision Blizzard (ATVI) in an all-cash deal may help to steady the Nasdaq ship slightly and certainly put gaming stocks on the offensive.
The dollar, meanwhile, is a touch stronger this morning at $1.1376 versus the euro. Oil is at $85.47 on supply concerns, and Bitcoin is at $41,400. Yields are higher across the board with the German 10-year nearly reaching positive territory for the first time in three years this morning. Gold is at $1,818.
European markets are lower: Eurostoxx -0.7%, Dax -1% and FTSE -0.6%.
US futures are lower: S&P -15, Dow -0.8% and NASDAQ -1.45.
