The Breakfast Briefing: Dow Set To Stabilize After Shedding 540 Points In 2 Days

Ted

FYI: U.S. stock futures were rising modestly Wednesday, putting the Dow on track to recover somewhat from a two-day drop in which it shed 540 points, or 2%.

Strategists said President Donald Trump’s relatively unsurprising State of the Union address could be helping the investing mood, as traders brace for a Federal Reserve statement, more earnings reports and a raft of economic data.
