Friday, July 2, 2021 Futures Up/Down % Last Dow -5.00 0.01% 34,509 S&P 500 0.75 0.02% 4,311 Nasdaq 25.00 0.17% 14,573 Stocks are generally flat in pre-market trading as the S&P seeks to hit a new record intraday high and close every day this week. Yesterday’s high was 4,312 and it appears the index is on track to open right around that level. However, things can quickly change after the nonfarm payrolls jobs report at 8:30. Economists are estimating that around 700,000 new jobs were created in June, though the consensus view was too optimistic for each of the past 2 months. However, monthly private payrolls and weekly jobless claims were both better than expected this week. In other news, yesterday’s OPEC+ meeting was extended to today, and reports said that the UAE blocked an agreement to raise supply by 400k bpd from August-September at the last minute. If the group cannot come to an agreement, current production levels will remain stable, likely leading to higher prices in the face of higher demand. Oil prices are slightly lower than yesterday when it hit its highest price since October 2018. In Asian markets, The Nikkei Index is higher by 76 points, the Shanghai Index is down 70 points, and the Hang Seng Index is sliding 575 points. In Europe, the German DAX is up 58 points, while the FTSE 100 has inched higher 6 points.

Merck said it plans the pullout in six months and does not affect other indications for Keytruda. Technology, Media & Telecom Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment ($CSSE) intends to offer stock Verizon ($VZ) told federal regulators it would keep supporting low-cost wireless service for three years if it is allowed to buy TracFone as negotiations continue with the FCC to close the $6.9B acquisition ContextLogic ($WISH) downgraded to In-Line at Evercore
