Here Are Friday’s Top Wall Street Analyst Research Calls: BorgWarner, CoreWeave, Intuit, Marvell Technology, Netflix, Okta, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Trade Desk, and More

Pre-Market Stock Futures:

Futures are trading lower as we prepare to finally end what has been one of the most volatile weeks in recent memory, with oil hitting its highest level since 2024. After a snap-back Wednesday that saw all the major indices close higher, the tables were turned on investors once again as oil prices jumped briefly above $80 and the fighting and air strikes in Iran intensified. When it was all said and done, the markets gave back all of the gains from Wednesday and more. The Dow Jones Industrials took a huge hit on the day, closing down 1.61% at 47,954, while the S&P 500 closed down 0.56% at 6,830. The Nasdaq closed at 22,748 on Thursday, down 0.26%. After leading stocks on Wednesday, the small-cap Russell 2000 was hammered, down 1.92% to close at 2,585. The only good news is that all of the indices finished the day well off the lows.

Treasury Bonds:

Yields were higher across the belly and the long end of the Treasury curve, while some buying was seen at the front-end short maturities. Higher energy prices and the threat of an inflation spike put pressure on the government debt market and could persist if the jobs report is poor. The 30-year long bond finished the day at 4.75%, while the benchmark 10-year note was last seen at a 4.13% yield. 

Oil and Gas:

Needless to say, the biggest story was spiraling prices across the energy complex. Brent Crude closed higher by 3.92%, at $84.59, but the move higher by West Texas Intermediate, which finished up 6.90% at $79.81, and is trading at $86.43 this morning, is what gave the bears all they needed, as prices at the pump will start moving much higher in the near-term. Natural gas closed trading at $3.00, up 2.64%.

Gold:

As we saw earlier in the week, a stronger dollar and selling across all major stock and bond indices bled over into safe-haven precious metals. While JPMorgan was quick to say that the case for the gold rally to continue is in place, it wasn’t on Thursday, as the bullion closed down 1.22% at $5,077, while Silver finished the day down 1.86% at $81.88. 

Crypto:
