Good Morning!The stock market was in a state of uncertainty on Thursday, with stock futures barely changing after the Federal Reserve increased interest rates by 25 basis points the previous day. But traders were not just focused on the rate hike; concerns about contagion in the regional bank space also weighed heavily on their minds.While futures tied to the S&P 500 remained unchanged, futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average saw a slight increase of 10 points, and Nasdaq-100 futures rose 0.25%.However, the pre-market trading for PacWest was a different story altogether. The California-based bank saw its shares plummet by more than 35% after the news broke that it was considering various strategic options, including a possible sale. Regional bank shares followed suit, with Western Alliance dropping by 18% and Zions Bancorporation by about 7%.The stock market closed on a sour note on Wednesday, as the Dow dropped by 270 points or 0.8%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also fell by 0.7% and 0.5%, respectively. Now, investors are bracing themselves for crucial economic reports that will dictate the Fed’s next move. The release of initial jobless claims on Thursday is expected to provide some insight, but Friday’s highly-anticipated payrolls report for April will be the main event. Experts are predicting that employment figures will surge by 180,000 jobs. Meanwhile, traders are keeping a close eye on several companies reporting their earnings, including Moderna, Apple, Lyft, DraftKings, and Coinbase.
