Stock futures are little changed after Dow ends three-day winning run: Live updates

Published On Jan 16, 2025, 6:02 PM

On January 16, 2025, stock futures were mostly flat following the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500's three-day losing streak. The Dow futures fell slightly and are facing pressure from a disappointing earnings report by J.B. Hunt Transport Services, which experienced a 9% drop in extended trading. In contrast, Bank OZK shares rose by 1% after outperforming earnings expectations. Despite the declines, all major indexes are still projected to finish the week with gains. Analysts note that the market is currently uncertain due to fluctuating Treasury yields and unclear signals from the Federal Reserve regarding interest rates, leading to expectations of range-bound trading until clearer market catalysts emerge.
