Dow Jones futures again turned lower late Tuesday, along with S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures, after Tuesday's coronavirus stock market rally jumped on U.S.-China trade news. Warren Buffett-backed StoneCo and Netflix headline these six top stocks in or near buy zones.
XThe coronavirus stock market rally continued its record-setting ways Tuesday, as the Nasdaq composite hit another all-time high. The tech-driven Nasdaq has risen an incredible 19 of the last 22 trading sessions. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 131 points.
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Netflix (NFLX), Warren Buffett-backed StoneCo (STNE), Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM), Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) and Wingstop (WING) are in or near new buy zones. Dow Jones stock leaders Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) advanced to record highs Tuesday.
Apple, Microsoft, Netflix and Vertex are IBD Leaderboard stocks.
Dow Jones Futures Today
The Dow Jones futures edged lower vs. fair value after the stock market close Tuesday, while S&P 500 futures also inched down. Nasdaq 100 futures were barely higher vs. fair value. Remember that overnight action in Dow Jones futures and elsewhere doesn't necessarily translate into actual trading in the next regular stock market session.
On Tuesday, the Nasdaq composite advanced 0.7%. The S&P 500 moved up 0.4%, while the Dow Jones industrials rallied 0.5%. The major stock indexes were boosted by China trade news and a tweet from President Trump.
Late Monday, White House trade official Peter Navarro told Fox News that the U.S.-China trade deal was "over." Navarro later told the media that his comment was not about the phase-one China trade deal, which remains in place. He said his statement was "wildly out of context" and that he was referring to a loss of "trust" with Beijing.
Then, President Donald Trump tweeted, "The China Trade Deal is fully intact. Hopefully they will continue to live up to the terms of the Agreement!"
Among exchange traded funds, Innovator IBD 50 (FFTY) turned unchanged Tuesday. The ETF of top growth stocks is about 7% off its 52-week high.
The Nasdaq 100-linked Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) ETF moved up 0.85% to close at 248.84. Meanwhile, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) moved up 0.5% to 312.05.
Within the coronavirus stock market rally, the tech-heavy Nasdaq hit more record highs and is up 12.9% for the year through Tuesday's close. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and DJIA are down 3.1% and 8.4%, year to date, through the June 23 close.
Coronavirus News
The coronavirus outbreak continues to spread across the U.S. According to the Worldometer data tracker, the cumulative number of confirmed U.S. cases topped 2.4 million Tuesday. While daily new cases are rising over the short term, the rise in deaths continues to decline.
The cumulative total of Covid-19 cases confirmed since the start of the outbreak worldwide is approaching 9.3 million Tuesday, with more than 477,000 virus-related deaths.
Coronavirus Stock Market Rally
According to IBD's The Big Picture, the coronavirus stock market rally remains in an uptrend after rebounding from lows three months ago on March 23. The major stock indexes confirmed the rebound as a new uptrend on April 2.
Per Monday's The Big Picture, "The Nasdaq composite climbed 1.1% and closed above 10,000 for the second time this month. The previous time was June 10, right before the composite plunged 5.3% on coronavirus worries. At a close of 10,056 Monday, the Nasdaq is inches away from the record high of 10,086."
