Dow Jones Futures Today
Dow Jones futures rose 0.4% vs. fair value. S&P 500 futures advanced 0.4%. Nasdaq 100 futures popped 0.7%. Remember that action in Dow futures, Tesla stock, AMD stock and elsewhere doesn't necessarily translate into actual trading in the next regular session. That's often been true in the current stock market correction, with big moves intraday and after hours.
In Wednesday's stock market trading, the Dow Jones slid 2.4%, falling below its 200-day line even with Dow giant Boeing (BA) rising on earnings. The Nasdaq composite plunged 4.4%, and the S&P 500 index lost 3.1%. All three indexes undercut Tuesday's intraday low. The latest stock market rout wiped out all the Dow Jones and S&P 500 gains for 2018.
Bottom line: It's a stock market correction.
