Market rally driven by earnings revisions and potential oil deal

  • S&P 500 closes above 5,000 mark for the first time
  • Stock futures hold steady
  • Earnings revisions driving market rally
  • Consumer price index data release could impact fundamentals
  • Potential major deal in the oil space

U.S. stock futures remained stable after the S&P 500 closed above the 5,000 mark, marking its 10th record finish of the year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell slightly, while the Nasdaq-100 futures increased. The market rally has been fueled by strong earnings revisions, with 76% of companies beating bottom-line estimates. However, the release of consumer price index data could impact market fundamentals. Additionally, there may be a major deal in the oil space as Diamondback Energy is reportedly set to acquire Endeavor Energy Resources.
