10/23/2026
Good morning, market watchers! β Here's your pre-market peek for Friday, October 23, 2026.
Stock futures are slightly lower this morning, with S&P 500 futures down about 0.2% and Nasdaq futures roughly flat. The Dow's futures are also a touch lower, but the sources disagree on how much. The mood is still shaped by yesterday's tech sell-off, as investors worry that big spending on AI may be slowing. Chip names like Nvidia and AMD pulled back, and Tesla, Meta and SpaceX were all lower after their earnings.
Oil is the other big story. Brent crude is hovering near $110 to $114 a barrel, its highest level in about five months, on Middle East tensions. Gold slipped to around $4,040 an ounce, its lowest in about three months.
A few movers before the bell: RingCentral up about 15%, Crown Castle up about 10%, and Deckers Outdoor down about 8%.
