U.S. futures are pointing to a lower open this morning, influenced by rising geopolitical tensions that are also impacting Asian markets. The dollar has strengthened significantly following strong U.S. economic data and Federal Reserve meeting minutes.
Stocks to Watch: * Booking Holdings shares fell over 8% despite a quarterly earnings beat, as investors reacted to weaker forward-looking revenue guidance and concerns over AI disruption. * Deere & Co. jumped over 11% after its first-quarter earnings significantly surpassed analyst expectations. * Super Micro Computer surged after issuing a strong full-year revenue forecast, highlighting robust demand for its AI systems.
Looking ahead, with no major U.S. economic data scheduled, market focus will remain on geopolitical developments and their impact on oil prices and overall sentiment.
