미국 증시 개장: 소프트웨어 급락과 알파벳 하락이 지수에 부담; 미 국채 강세, 금속 약세

OPEN: Breadth is strong at the open; however, downside in tech/comms is driving losses at the index level. The big move is in Alphabet (GOOG -12.0%) after a weak earnings report (profit and revenue light, worsening negative FCF); GOOG losses have eroded upside in Microsoft (MSFT -0.8%) after its earnings beat as tech sentiment sours. Tech is also weighed on by heavy downside in software, led by ServiceNow (NOW -24%), which is on track for its worst day since 2016 amid underwhelming subscription revenue. Software is also dragged lower by cybersecurity weakness, as Fortinet (FTNT -20.8%) missed product revenue and next-quarter revenue forecasts and cut its FY services guidance. On the flip side, Healthcare is outperforming following strong earnings from Eli Lilly (LLY +7.7%) and Merck (MRK); Industrials is only modestly in the green, with gains limited by a top-line miss from Caterpillar (CAT -7.6%). Yields are lower across the curve, falling further after in-line PCE data and soft income/spending figures, with the move accelerating as Alphabet shares sank at the open on AI profitability concerns. US GDP Adv came in at 3.4%, higher than the expected 3.2% (prev. 2.2%), while weekly claims display an unalarming layoff environment. Meanwhile, the dollar has managed to hold onto modest strength against peers; EUR/USD is little changed following the ECB's expected decision to hold rates, with the Bank refraining from giving forward guidance on the next decision. Precious metals continue to show weakness, with silver making new YTD lows, while gold trades lower by ~USD 41/oz.
