S&P 500 Futures Stabilize After Three Straight Days of Losses

S&P 500 futures stabilized on Thursday after the benchmark index posted a three-day losing streak. S&P 500 futures rose 0.1%, and Nasdaq 100 futures climbed 0.3%. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell 65 points, or about 0.2%.

After-hours trading saw Tesla shares rise more than 11% after the electric vehicle maker announced third-quarter earnings that beat analysts' expectations. Technology giant International Business Machines fell about 3%, as its consulting revenue missed analyst estimates.

The Dow Jones closed Wednesday with its biggest single-day loss since early September, dropping more than 400 points, or 0.96%. The S&P 500 fell 0.92%, and the Nasdaq Composite declined 1.6%. Wednesday's session marked the third straight day that the Dow Jones and S&P 500 indexes declined.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note has been on the rise this week, surpassing the 4.25% threshold on Wednesday for its highest level during the session. Rising yields have kept stocks under pressure lately.

Paul Hickey, co-founder of Bespoke Investing Group, said he wouldn't read too much into the recent selling in stocks.

"It's a rough day, but you just have to put it in perspective of what we've seen over the last six weeks (stock gains). Part of that rally was fueled by the fact that earnings results -- initially, the big banks -- were very strong, and their stock price reactions were also positive. It's a rough day, but these days happen," Hickey added.

Hickey cautioned that the market could see a slight pullback after the U.S. presidential election in November. However, he indicated that the market would find its footing after this expected dip.

"You might be prepared for some disappointment once the election comes and you see the sell-off in reaction to the news. But I don't think it will be anything too bad. The overall backdrop for the market is very good in terms of breadth, earnings, and the economy, and the Fed is supporting the market," he said.

More earnings results are expected to be released on Thursday. Among the companies scheduled to report before the market open are United Parcel Service, Honeywell, Northrop Grumman, Southwest Airlines, and American Airlines.
