Reporting ahead of the opening bell this morning, Halliburton, Hasbro, and Kimberly-Clark beat Wall Street’s expectations. Netflix is scheduled to release earnings results after the close. | |||||||
| Advanced Micro Devices is up 9.8% to $4.03 a share. The chip-maker and Intel rival said late Thursday that it narrowed its first-quarter loss due to strong revenue growth in its graphics and visual solutions unit. | |||||||
| Oil prices showed little change today, holding near a six-week high hit last week on uncertainty in Ukraine and U.S. economic reports that have supported a stronger outlook for energy demand. May crude is off 0.2%, to $104.14 a barrel. | |||||||
| The National Association for Business Economics survey of 72 economists didn’t find a single respondent who thinks the U.S. economy will contract this year, the fourth-consecutive survey where that’s happened. The NABE polls its members quarterly, and most like Wall Street expect the economy to grow between 2.1% and 3% this year. | |||||||
