Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:
1) Markets Getting Snowed Under
US stock futures are all pointing down ahead of the open as traders express disappointment over some quarterly results.
Shares in Microsoft (MSFT, Tech30) and Caterpillar are both declining more than 7% after releasing their latest earnings.
Microsoft reported a drop in quarterly profit, largely due to the ongoing restructuring of the company. But sales are growing for just about every product Microsoft makes, except for Windows.
2) Natural Gas Bounce
Natural gas futures are bouncing by about 3% in New York. Traders appear to be expecting a surge in heating demand because of the cold weather slamming the northeastern United States.
3) International Markets Overview
Most European markets are down in afternoon trading, with some major indexes off by more than 1%.
However, the Swiss stock exchange is up by about 1%. Swiss markets are clawing back some of the losses endured earlier this month after the central bank allowed the currency to float freely instead of being pegged to the euro.
Asian markets ended with mixed results.
4) Monday Market Recap
The Dow Jones industrial average gained a mere 6 points on Monday, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq both put on about 0.3%.
