U.S. Dow futures fell nearly 200 points in pre-market trading Monday morning indicating a lower open for the closely watched industry. Inflation, rising fuel costs and supply chain disruptions are causing investors to worry about what the rest of the earnings season (and most especially next earnings season) may look like.
This week, major heavyweights Tesla, Netflix, IBM, Intel and Johnson & Johnson are all due to report.
Although last week’s strong earnings from major investment banks increased expectations for a better than expected recovery, now investors seem to be growing more worried about the effect of inflation on future earnings in other industries.
