US premarket on April 29, 2022

US stock index futures decreased again on Friday, as quarterly reports of tech companies, including Amazon and Apple, failed to give support to the market and rebuild confidence of traders. Nasdaq 100 futures fell by 1%, while Dow Jones Industrial Average futures lost 119 points or 0.35%. S&P 500 futures declined by 0.71%.

According to data released by the US Commerce Department on Thursday, US GDP fell by 1.4% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2022 after rising by 6.9% in Q4 2021. Economists expected the US economy to rise by 1%. However, some economists believe the report only illustrates the instability of quarterly GDP calculations, and does not indicate the weak state of the economy or an imminent recession. The Dow Jones gained 614 points or 1.9%, the S&P 500 increased by 2.5%, and the Nasdaq Composite jumped by 3.1%, as market players remained confident in the US economy.

This week was full of earnings reports, particularly reports by tech companies, which influenced the mood of investors throughout the week. Furthermore, investors remain concerned about the global economic slowdown, rising inflation, and monetary tightening by the Federal Reserve.Today, core PCE index data by the University of Michigan will be released. The Core PCE is the Fed's main inflation gauge. Furthermore, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and Philips will publish their quarterly reports.

Premarket movers

Shares of Amazon lost about 9% during the premarket after the company recorded a $7.6 billion loss on its investment in the EV manufacturer Rivian. Furthermore, Amazon issued weaker than expected revenue guidance for the second quarter. Apple decreased by 2% after CFO Luca Maestri CFO Luca Maestri said that supply chain disruptions could hinder fiscal third-quarter revenue. Maestri's statement overshadowed a strong first-quarter earnings report.

Intel slumped by more than 3%, following a weaker than expected forecast for the second quarter of 2022.

Shares of Robinhood dropped by 11%, as the company reported a wider-than-expected loss, shrinking revenue, and a fall in monthly active users in the first quarter.

On the technical side, S&P 500 bulls failed to settle above $4,265 today, resulting in another sell-off. The index needs to rise from the support level of $4,216 to put an end to the bearish sentiment of the past several days. However, such a bullish rally is unlikely to happen on the final trading day of the month. The S&P 500 has barely managed to bottom out near $4,162. If the index settles above $4,265, it could then return to $4,319 and regain $4,376. However, if bearish sentiment returns to the market due to weak US economic data, the S&P 500 could test the support at $4,216 - there are no positive news except for corporate earnings reports. A breakout below $4,216 would push the index towards the lows at $4,162 and $4,113. From there, the S&P 500 could fall towards the lows at $4,085 and $4,057.
