Sentiment continues to be jittery, with the major index futures priming for a lower opening on Thursday as traders look ahead to the first read of second-quarter GDP data and more earnings. The tech space could once again drag the broader market after a few disappointing earnings reports from the likes of Franco-Italian chipmaker STMicroelectronics N.V. (NYSE:STM), which predominantly supplies to the automotive end market, and semiconductor test-equipment company Teradyne, Inc. (NASDAQ:TER). Traders may also stay glued to second-quarter GDP data to confirm the slowdown suggested by some recent data does not point to a hard landing.

"As we look to the second half of the year, Team Dow is focused on continuing to deliver sequential earnings improvements while navigating through the slower macro environment we remain in," said Fitterling. "While near-term demand in many markets that we serve is growing, building & construction and consumer durables are unlikely to significantly change in 2024. We will continue driving higher sales through our innovation portfolio and diverse product mix. And, through leveraging our global scale, strategically advantaged cost positions, and counter-cyclical growth investments, we remain on track to enable higher earnings and shareholder returns."
Dow (NYSE:DOW) reported quarterly earnings of $0.68 per share which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $0.72 by 5.56 percent. This is a 9.33 percent decrease over earnings of $0.75 per share from the same period last year.

About 14% of the S&P 500 companies have reported their June quarter earnings and the blended earnings growth rate for the companies constituting the broader index remains healthy. The coming week will see the official start of the tech reporting season, which could potentially decide the fate of the market, which has seen a steep pullback in the recent week. The Week That Was: The tech earnings season had a modest start last week with the earnings report from chip-equipment maker ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:ASML). The stock slumped about 16%, dragged by its weak third-quarter outlook and geopolitical concerns surrounding the China chip ban. Netflix, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:NFLX) guidance disappointe
