"Dow futures today live" are slightly higher as corporate earnings season unfolds with mixed results. Banking sector profits are outperforming estimates, giving a lift to the index's financial heavyweights. Before we jump to that, we do have a few more reports today, though. On the final day of the third quarter, we have reports from Nike ( NKE ) , Paychex ( PAYX ) , Lamb Weston LW, and United Natural Foods ( UNFI ) . The companies had until Sept. 29 to comply, and if not, the federal government said it “will deploy every tool in our arsenal to protect American families from continued abusive drug pricing practices" if they did not follow through. A breakout could attract momentum buyers, but volume is still below typical January averages. Economic reports later this week could dictate the next significant move in blue-chip stocks.
