Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures sell-off as government shutdown looms, inflation data improves but still sticky

Given the increased risk of a government shutdown, weakening inflation data, and disappointing earnings reports from major stocks like Novo Nordisk, the broad market sentiment appears negative. Investors may become more risk-averse, leading to more selling pressure, particularly in tech have stocks due to their previous high valuations and sensitivity to economic changes.

The significant drop in Novo Nordisk's stock introduces a potential buying opportunity for investors who can tolerate volatility, particularly if the market stabilizes and the company addresses the shortcomings of their drug in future updates. However, in the immediate term, the sentiment around NVO is strongly negative. Therefore, careful consideration is needed before investing.

Tesla's recall news likely adds downward pressure on TSLA's stock in the short term. Given the recent trend and potential operational challenges, the stock remains at risk in the upcoming trading sessions, especially in light of macroeconomic pressures.
