Пазарите на акции: предпазливост преди Nonfarm Payrolls в петък, нива на съпритиви, вероятна корекция

U.S. stocks set to fall back from the previous day’s solid rally, as stock futures inched lower ahead of prominent earnings and factory-orders data.

Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average YMZ5, -0.15% slipped 26 points, or 0.2%, to 17,709 ahead of Tuesday’s opening bell. Futures for the S&P 500 index ESZ5, -0.19% fell 2.65 points, or 0.1%, to 2,092.75, while those for the Nasdaq 100 index NQZ5, -0.26% dropped 6.75 points, or 0.1%, to 4,687.25.

All three stock averages rallied on Monday as investors brushed off weak manufacturing data and focused instead on a raft of deals and earnings. The Dow industrials moved into positive territory for the year, while the S&P 500 hit its highest level since August.

“Yesterday’s close in the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average could indicate a possible trend reverse to the upside,” said Nour Al-Hammoury, chief market strategist at ADS Securities, in a note.

Earnings: A spate of corporate results could drive market action. Office Depot Inc. ODP, -1.84% Archer Daniels Midland Co. ADM, +1.36% Sprint Corp. S, +2.54% Cablevision Systems Corp. CVC, -0.28% and Kellogg Co. K, +0.13% are all slated to report premarket.

Movers: Ahead of the bell, shares of Activision Blizzard Inc. ATVI, -0.55% were down 0.5%, paring an earlier rise of 2.7%, after the videogame company late Monday said it is buying King Digital Entertainment PLC KING, +3.88% — maker of the popular “Candy Crush Saga” game — for $3.4 billion in cash plus debt. King shares surged 14% premarket.

Molson Coors Brewing Co. TAP, +0.69% could also be active after a Financial Times report said the brewer is in advanced talks to buy the majority stake in MillerCoors from its joint venture partner SABMiller PLC SAB, +0.19% SBMRY, +0.15%

U.S.-listed shares of Royal Dutch Shell PLC RDSB, +0.88% RDS.B, +2.14% may also move after the oil giant said it expects synergies from its planned $70 billion takeover of BG Group PLC BG., +1.36% to be 40% higher than previously announced.
