Summary

Suffice to add… market should find a floor by 11am.
Yesterday’s daily reversal candles are suggestive of positive indexes (at least briefly) at some point today.


notable stock: NKE

Earnings were mixed…  EPS 54cents vs 28est. Rev’ y/y -9.3% to $11.27bn vs 11.01est. The annual decline in sales merits alarm bells… as the consumer can’t afford new shoes.

notable weakness: FDX

Earnings were reasonable…
EPS $4.51 vs 4.54est. Rev’ y/y +2.3% to $22.2bn vs 21.9est.

notable stock: MU

Earnings were good…
EPS $1.56 vs 1.42est. Rev’ y/y +38.3% to $8.05bn vs 7.89est.

notable stock: LMT

Trump is due 11am… on a possible fighter contract.
I’ll post a feed nearer the time.
