10 minutes before opening of Wall Street, futures on the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq indices heralded downward pressure for the first phase of trade. For both indices, as well as for the DJIA, considerable influence is exercised by Apple, following their weaker than expected quarterly results (a drop in phone sales and a decline in revenues by 16 and 13 percent y/y).

In the case of the DJIA, a counterweight can be fuel companies, which until the end of the week will announce quarterly results, but today will likely respond to the crude prices increase to over $ 45 / barrel.

U.S. Stocks open: Dow -0.20%, Nasdaq -0.59%, S&P -0.15%
