WALL STREET SLIDES AS TREASURY YIELDS, EARNINGS WEIGH
Shares on Wall Street are on the defensive early on Wednesday, pressured once again by the persistent rise in Treasury yields and as investors focus on earnings at Coca-Cola, Starbucks, and Boeing.
Treasury yields are rising to levels that have raised discomfort. The benchmark 10-year yield US10YT=RR hit a fresh three-month high of 4.26% and has surged 62 basis points (bps) since the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by a supersized 50 bps on Sept. 18.
U.S. rates are once again in focus on Wednesday with the Treasury's 20-year bond sale, the Fed's Beige Book, and existing home sales.
Meanwhile Coca-Cola KO.N, Starbucks SBUX.o, and Boeing BA.N are down, with the latter two hit by earnings disappointments.
Coca-Cola shares, on the other hand, are falling after the company reiterated its annual profit growth forecast despite expecting higher revenue, as U.S. demand for its sodas and juices increased.
Other corporate earnings, however remain solid. A total of 103 S&P 500 companies have reported results so far, with reported sales growth of 3.3% and earnings up 5.2%. Overall sales growth is on pace for a 4.9% rise and earnings to increase 3.0% overall, according to Evercore ISI.
In terms of economic data, U.S. existing home sales fell 1% in September, compared with a 2% drop in August. With housing numbers not as weak as the month before, that kept Treasury yields elevated, suggesting that the Fed will keep rate cuts modest.
