U.S. stock futures steady as all eyes are on Jackson Hole, Yellen
U.S. stock futures on Friday were little changed in anticipation of a hotly awaited talk by Federal Reserve chief, Janet Yellen, in Jackson Hole, Wyo., later this morning.

Ahead of the speech, a second estimate of second-quarter gross domestic product underscored that the U.S. economy is still muddling along, growing at a lackluster 1.1% pace—slower than preliminary reading of 1.2% as corporate profits fell.

“Stocks barely budged after the GDP reading. “There wasn’t anything really surprising in the GDP data today and certainly not enough to move the markets ahead of Yellen,” said Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC Markets.

Financials mixed led by BAC and C amid broader market meltdown

 

With a stronger possibility of a rate hike the XLF is outperforming the SP500 of late. If the rate hike is given I expect BAC and C to lead the financial sector in that order and widen the gap between the XLF and SP500. If no rate hike is given then it would be 180 degrees from what I just wrote.
