Stock Market Today: Dow Futures Gain, Nasdaq Drops As Trump Signs Bill To End Partial Shutdown— AMD, SMCI, LLY In Focus (UPDATED) – State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (ARCA:SPY)


Editor’s Note: The future prices of benchmark tracking ETFs, the lede, the headline, and the earnings data were updated in the story.

U.S. stock futures were fluctuating on Wednesday following Tuesday’s negative close. Futures of major benchmark indices were mixed.

ADP’s January employment showed that the U.S. private sector hiring slowed significantly, with employers adding a meager 22,000 jobs amid a broader three-year deceleration in job creation. Despite the lackluster hiring volume, wage growth remained resilient as annual pay for job-stayers rose 4.5%.

President Donald Trump signed a funding deal to end the four-day partial government shutdown, though the brief closure has already triggered delays for critical economic indicators.

Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.27%, and the two-year bond was at 3.58%. The CME Group’s FedWatch tool‘s projections show markets pricing a 91.1% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged in March.
