Closing Bell Movers: Palo Alto Networks jumps 5% on Q4 earnings beat

In the opening hour of the evening session, U.S. equity futures are up slightly, with S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow Industrials all up 0.1%.  Commodities are little changed, as WTI Crude Oil recovered from recent two-month lows above $62 and Metals traded flat – below $3,380 for gold and just above $38 per ounce for silver.

Monday’s low-volume session across the major indices saw little momentum for either bulls and bears, with investors seemingly inclined to await the Jackson Hole address by Fed Chair Powell later this week as well as notable earnings from retailing giants – Home Depot (HD), Target (TGT), and Walmart (WMT) report on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Industrials and Consumer Discretionary were the top performing sectors on the S&P 500 while the Real Estate sector lagged as Treasuries crept higher across the curve for the third consecutive session.
