Wall Street has started off 2024 with two days of losses. Stock futures pointed higher Thursday after equities started off the first two trading days of 2024 with losses. Pushing stocks lower were the minutes from the Federal Reserve’s meeting from December in which central bank officials said interest-rate cuts were likely in 2024 but they also didn’t rule out further rate hikes this year, citing an “unusually elevated degree of uncertainty.” Here are the key highlights: – Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg sold about $428 million of company stock over the final two months of 2023. – Cal-Maine Foods’ fiscal second-quarter earnings widely missed analysts’ estimates and revenue declined. – Dyne Therapeutics has begun an underwritten public offering of $175 million of common shares. – Intel named Justin Hotard as executive vice president and general manager of its data-center and AI group. – MongoDB was downgraded to Neutral from Buy at UBS. Earnings reports are expected Thursday from Walgreens Boots Alliance, Lamb Weston, RPM International, and Conagra Brands.
