If early numbers are any indicator, Wednesday’s market jump may only have been temporary, plus stocks to watch today in the Money and Markets Wall Street Wake-Up.

The Top Story

Wall Street is poised for another roller-coaster ride Thursday after markets experienced big gains the day before.

On Wednesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped more than 1,100 points on what looked to be a solid rally. The S&P 500 moved up 4.2% and the Nasdaq Composite closed 3.8% higher.

However, Thursday’s premarket trading indicates an opening drop.

Why the fall: Additional fears over the spread of the coronavirus is creeping back and taking hold of investor sentiment. A 50-basis-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve also did little to calm Wall Street’s fears.

What’s happening now: As of 8 a.m. Eastern time, Dow futures were down 1.6%. The Nasdaq was off 1.7% while the S&P 500 dropped 1.7%. Those signs point to another raucous day for Wall Street.
