U.S. stock futures declined on Monday following Friday&#8217;s steep fall. Futures of all four major indices fell in premarket trade.
Friday&#8217;s decline followed a strong upmove in yields as the economy added 256,000 jobs in December, much above the economists&#8217; forecast of 165,000 jobs, the strongest since May 2024.
Traders now await the consumer price inflation data this week on Wednesday, which will further clear the case for the Fed to pause the rate cuts.
The 10-year and two-year Treasury notes yielded 4.78% and 4.42%, respectively. The probability of having no change in the interest rates for the upcoming Jan. 31, 2025 decision was at 97.3%, according to CME Group&#8217;s FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>.

Cues From The Last Session
Wall Street suffered significant losses last week, erasing all gains since the election. This was primarily driven by a robust jobs report, which increased concerns about persistent inflation and further interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. The week&#8217;s trading was also impacted by rising geopolitical tensions and increased inflation expectations.
The session witnessed considerable losses among growth equities, particularly those with high valuations and exposure to interest rate sensitivity. This included semiconductor companies such as Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), as well as technology firms like Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>).
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 1.63% lower at 41,938.45, down approximately 697 points. The S&amp;P 500 Index fell 1.54% to 5,827.04, while the Nasdaq Composite dipped 1.63% to 19,161.63. Russell 200, on the other hand, fell 2.22% to 2,189.23.

Insights From Analysts
On <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42939374/as-bond-yields-near-the-crucial-5-mark-last-seen-briefly-in-2023-and-global-financial-crisis-this-analyst-says-market-appears-to-be-overreacting">Friday</a>, the U.S. 30-year Treasury yielded 4.950% by the end of the trading session, however, it touched a high of 5.005% intraday. The 10-year Treasury, on the other hand, yielded an intraday high of 4.790% to settle at 4.762% on Friday.
&#8220;It is most likely that the pressure on interest rates is being driven by inflation fears from the soon-to-be-announced tariffs that Trump 2.0 will bring.&#8221; said Louis Navellier, the chairman and founder of Navellier &amp; Associates. &#8220;The market appears to be overreacting,&#8221; he added.
Ed Yardeni and Eric Wallerstein in their note called &#8216;Bond Vigilantes Spoking Stock Jockey&#8217; said, &#8220;If Tuesday&#8217;s CPI inflation rate for December is higher than expected, causing the 10-year Treasury bond yield to revisit 2023&#8217;s high of 5.00%.&#8221;
As the stocks struggled after Friday&#8217;s reports and bond yields&#8217; reaction, Yardeni and Navellier said that this dip was a buying opportunity.
Navellier said that the market could be additionally reacting to the uncertainty on what the Fed may do. Stocks, however, are taking the higher yields to heart, he added, saying &#8220;There&#8217;s no reason to panic.&#8221; as the pullback on higher rates is likely a &#8220;buying opportunity unless earnings disappoint.&#8221;
Yardeni also reiterated its forecast of 7,000 points on the S&amp;P 500 by the end of the year. &#8220;We still believe that the 10-year Treasury bond yield should trade mostly between 4.25% and 4.75% this year. So we think that the selloffs in the stock and bond markets are buying opportunities.&#8221;
Carson Research&#8217;s VP and global macro strategist, Sonu Varghese in a blog post said that it's not useful to read too much into market moves, especially short-term ones.
He argues that the interest rates are higher because the market likely thinks stronger job creation and economy, will put more upward pressure on inflation, which means the Federal Reserve will have to pause on rate cuts. &#8220;Markets are now expecting just one rate cut in 2025 (with a probability of under 25% for a second one) and don't expect it to happen before June,&#8217; he added.

WD-40 Earnings Review: Q1 Summary

Reiterated Fiscal Year 2025 Guidance
The Company reiterated the following fiscal year guidance on a pro forma basis, excluding the full fiscal year financial impact of the homecare and cleaning business portfolios the Company expects to divest in fiscal year 2025 and the impacts of a favorable non-cash income tax adjustment which the Company will discuss during its first fiscal quarter earnings call:
<ul>
<li>Net sales growth is from the pro-forma 2024 results is projected to be between 6 and 11 percent with net sales between $600 million and $630 million after adjusting for estimated translation impacts of foreign currency.</li>
<li>Gross margin for the full year is expected to be between 54 and 55 percent.</li>
<li>Advertising and promotion investments are projected to be around 6 percent of net sales.</li>
<li>Operating income is projected to be between $95 million and $100 million. This range reflects anticipated growth of between 6 to 12 percent compared to 2024 pro forma results.</li>
<li>The provision for income tax is expected to be around 24 percent.</li>
<li>Diluted earnings per share is expected to be between $5.20 and $5.45 based on an estimated 13.5 million weighted average shares outstanding. This range reflects anticipated growth of between 9 to 14 percent compared to 2024 pro forma results.</li>
</ul>
"Our first quarter results reflect strong execution and significant progress on our gross margin expansion initiatives," said Sara Hyzer, WD-40 Company's vice president, finance and chief financial officer. "We achieved gross margin of 54.8 percent, up 100 basis points from the prior year quarter, moving us significantly closer to our target of 55 percent. This improvement reflects favorable sales mix, and the benefit of various supply chain initiatives executed across the globe. As we look ahead, we remain confident in achieving our fiscal year 2025 guidance," concluded Hyzer.
This guidance is expressed in good faith and is based on management's current view of anticipated results on a pro forma basis. Unanticipated inflationary headwinds and other unforeseen events may further affect the Company's financial results. Net sales guidance is adjusted for estimated translation impact of foreign currency use weighted average fiscal year 2024 foreign currency exchange rates.

Technology stocks, specifically chipmakers, could lead from the front on Thursday as a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41373163/nvidia-supplier-tsmc-reports-q3-revenue-earnings-beat-amid-rising-demand-for-ai-chips"> stellar third-quarter earnings report </a>from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) is triggering positive sentiment toward all artificial intelligence plays. Oil prices have rebounded and gold traded at a fresh record, while bond yields held steady ahead of a slew of market-moving data that include retail sales, a regional manufacturing activity index, industrial production, and jobless claims.
Earnings news could provide an offsetting impact in the eventuality of the market construing the economic data as inclement. Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) is the first among the mega-cap earnings due after the market close and the results could evince interest among traders and set the tone for the tech reporting season.

Cues From Last Session:
Small-caps ripped higher on Wednesday, extending their recent gains amid hopes of a benign economic environment but the major averages opened on a tentative note. Solid earnings reports from financial companies and strong gains by real-estate and utility stocks helped the major indices close firmly in the green.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average turned solidly higher immediately after spending the better part of the session above the unchanged line. The 30-stock blue-chip average ended at a fresh high, although it did not have enough momentum to break above its Oct. 15 intraday high of 43,277.78.
The S&amp;P 500 Index and the Nasdaq Composite had a lackluster first-half before picking up momentum in the afternoon. 
Of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sector classes, only communication services and consumer discretionary stocks declined in Wednesday&#8217;s session.

Insights From Analysts:
Delving into the small-cap rally that has been on, LPL Financial Chief Technical Strategist Adam Turnquist said after being stuck in a consolidation phase over the past few months, small-caps have picked up some momentum in recent sessions, with the growth outlook recently improving — underpinned by better-than-feared labor market conditions — and increased visibility into Fed rate cuts, he said.
The strategist noted that the Russell 2,000 Index, or RTY, has rallied off the lower end of its rising price channel. &#8220;Recent strength in the banking space — the RTY's largest sector by weighting — has further supported small caps,&#8221; he said.
Technically, a close above 2,275 would confirm a breakout from its current symmetrical triangle and leave&nbsp;the 2021 highs (2,243)&nbsp;as the next resistance hurdle to clear, Turnquist said, adding that momentum indicators have also recently turned bullish, adding to the evidence of a topside breakout.
&#8220;Despite the improving absolute performance, the RTY vs. S&amp;P 500 ratio chart still remains in a downtrend and below its declining 200-day moving average (DMA),&#8221; he said. A close above the July highs would validate a trend reversal in favor of small caps outperforming, he added.
Meanwhile, a fund manager thinks AI-levered companies could be defensive plays. Louis Navellier said, &#8220;Semiconductor demand has become the new proxy for global growth trends, being incorporated into almost everything, and also has geopolitical implications with technology export controls in place and China continuing to saber rattle about taking Taiwan back.&#8221;
&#8220;The upshot here is the inference that AI will still have legs even if we slide into a global recession in &#8217;25,&#8221; he added.

<li>The Commerce Department will release its September retail sales report at 8:30 a.m. EDT.

<li>The National Association of Home Builders will release its housing market index for October at 10 a.m. EDT. The headline index, which measures confidence among homebuilders, is expected to rise a point from September to 42. A reading below 50 suggests a lack of confidence.</li>
