Lots Of Earnings In The Mix as Market Digests PepsiCo Results, Awaits Costco
Don’t forget that this has been a very resilient market, but also keep in mind that with payrolls looming tomorrow, the big down-move we’ve had, and more jitters about geopolitics, it could still be a bumpy ride to end the week. The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) is still above 20 this morning, and 20 is sometimes seen as the level that indicates elevated fear. Today could be a day of stabilization with volume a little light, partly because payrolls is tomorrow.

Energy Shares Up, Transports Lower In Pre-Market Trading After Attacks On Saudi Arabia
Now, with half of Saudi Arabia’s crude production disabled by an attack over the weekend, the spiral in crude prices reminds everyone just how much impact this faraway place can have right here at home. Generally, though, things seem to be holding together relatively well so far Monday considering the crude supply shock over the weekend.
