The Wall Street opened on Tuesday at a slight low as the recent rally momentum slowed. The S&P 500 declined 0.3% in early trading Tuesday, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased by 22 points and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.4%.
Treasury yields and the US dollar remained stable. Home Depot reported positive revenue exceeding analyst expectations for the year's beginning, maintaining its annual profit and sales growth forecasts.
The markets already hinted at a slow start prior to the opening bell as the earnings season approaches conclusion. During pre-market trading, S&P 500 futures declined 0.2%, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures remained flat, and Nasdaq futures dropped 0.2%.
However, Home Depot shares increased over 2 per cent in the premarket trading following better-than-expected sales figures and confirmation of previous sales projections, despite housing market challenges. Target and Lowe's are scheduled to report their results on Wednesday.
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon highlighted geopolitical risks as significant concerns for global and US economies during the annual investor conference. He noted that stagflation presents a serious risk scenario.
