Closing Bell Movers: Trade Desk jumps 14% on S&P500 inclusion

In the opening hour of the evening session, U.S. equity futures are down about 0.1%, with S&P 500 just above 6,300 and Nasdaq 100 just north of 23,000.  In commodities, WTI Crude Oil is near its Monday’s low below $67 per barrel.  In metals, gold and silver prices have come in from multi-week highs seen earlier in the day.

Communication Services, Financials, and Real Estate were the best performing sectors in the S&P 500 while Energy was the worst performer amid slumping oil prices.  Among standouts, Palantir (PLTR) and Autodesk (ADSK) were among the leading names.   Also of note, Boeing (BA) and Coinbase (COIN) made new 52-week highs.

Investors are preparing for the release of the latest CPI inflation data on Tuesday morning and the possibility of stepped up pressure by President Trump on the Federal Reserve to cut rates sooner than later.
