1) Where did stocks move before the open?
The Nasdaq-100 tracker gained 1.55%, while the S&P 500 tracker rose 0.29%. Both changes are measured against the previous regular close. Chipmakers and computer hardware companies stood out on the upside.
2) What did the latest company reports show?
Airbnb reported $4.9 billion in quarterly sales on November 5 and raised its full-year outlook for sales growth and adjusted profit margin. Axon reported a 28% rise in quarterly sales that same day, but its shares were lower before the open. Sandisk’s October 29 outlook points to continued sales growth, with data centers an important source of demand.
3) What could change the tone?
The October jobs report is scheduled before the open. A stronger reading could push investors to expect rates to stay higher for longer, while a weak report could raise concerns about the economy. Watch whether the early gains extend beyond technology stocks.
