U.S. stock index futures fell on Thursday morning.

At around 2:30 a.m. ET, Dow futures were down 42 points, indicating an implied negative open of more than 45 points. Futures on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq were also lower.

The spread of the China coronavirus has placed renewed downward pressure on global equity markets, with the death toll rising to 17 and the World Health Organization set to reconvene Thursday to decide whether to declare a global health emergency.

 

On Wednesday, the number of confirmed cases of the new strain of coronavirus, which originated in China’s Wuhan city and has now been detected throughout Asia and as far away as the U.S., reached 571.

 

Asian shares tumbled overnight, while Chinese Treasury futures surged, as fears of an economic fallout from the virus sent investors running for cover.

E-Mini S&P 500

The Dow fell 9.77 points, or 0.03% to 29,186.27. The S&P 500 advanced 0.03% to end the day at 3,321.75. The Nasdaq Composite closed 0.14% higher at 9,383.77. Strong earnings from IBM sparked a rally in tech stocks, which lifted the S&P 500 and Nasdaq to record highs.

IBM posted a profit of $4.71 per share on revenue of $21.77 billion. Analysts polls by Refinitiv expected earnings per share of $4.69 on revenue of $21.64 billion. This propelled not only a jump in the stock, but also gains in the broader tech sector. IBM added to what has already been a strong start to the earnings season. However, some investors worry the market may be overly optimistic over the prospect of further gains. If euphoria takes over the market, it could eventually lead to a steep downturn.

 

Apple shares rose 0.36% and hit a record high. IBM was the best-performing stock in the Dow, rising 3.39%. Boeing, however, offset some of those gains with a 1.39% drop.

The weekly jobless claims data is set for release Thursday morning. NBCUniversal-parent Comcast, Procter & Gamble and American Airlines are among the companies slated to report earnings.
