US open: Stocks lower as traders await FOMC minutes
(Sharecast News) - Wall Street stocks were in the red early on Tuesday as investors looked ahead to minutes from the FOMC's latest meeting. As of 1555 GMT, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.21% at 35,077.15, while the S&P 500 lost 0.35% to 4,531.55 and the Nasdaq Composite came out the gate 0.78% weaker at 14,173.23.
The Dow opened 73.89 points lower on Tuesday, taking a bite out of gains recorded in the previous session.
Tuesday's primary focus will be on minutes from the Federal Reserve Open Markets Committee's latest meeting, scheduled for release at 1900 GMT. Traders will look for further signs that the central bank may be nearing the end of its aggressive interest rate hiking campaign after some key inflation data came in cooler-than-expected just last week.
Elsewhere on the macro front, the Chicago Federal Reserve's national activity index fell to -0.49 in October, down from -0.2 in September and its lowest reading for the last seven months.
On another note, sales of previously owned homes in the US dropped more than expected in October, according to data out Tuesday from the National Association of Realtors. Existing-home sales dropped by 4.1% last month to 3.79m, from 3.96m in September. Analysts were expecting a smaller fall to 3.90m. Compared with October 2022, sales were down 14.6% from 4.44m.
In the corporate space, retailer Kohl's reported a 5.2% decrease in net sales in its third quarter on Tuesday, amounting to $3.8bn, as comparable sales continued to decline. Elsewhere, Dick's Sporting Goods lifted its full-year outlook on Tuesday following a "strong" third quarter, while Best Buy cut its sales forecast as it issued a somewhat cautious outlook.
Chipmaker Nvidia and tech giant HP will report earnings after the close on Tuesday.
