- Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq futures wavered with oil prices slipping, and the Dow was set to slip at the open (Yahoo Finance, MarketWatch)
- American Express and IBM specifically dragged the Dow while Treasury yields ticked higher despite the oil dip (Barron's, MarketWatch)
Why it matters: Traders received mixed signals: falling oil typically eases inflation pressure, but rising yields pressure equity multiples. Barron's pinned the Dow's weakness on American Express and IBM specifically, naming where the selling concentrated rather than treating the slide as a broad-market move.
