 is TFNN. The Tiger. Financial News Network. TFNN. Headline. News. Update. Good morning everybody. I'm Tommy O'Brien, coming to you live from TFNN headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida. 10 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday. 30 minutes into the trading day. We've got markets starting to the upside. All the indices, positive by just about 1%. We get the Dow up 252 points, trading at $26,215. S&Ps right now up 26 points, trading at $2926. NASDAQ leading the way up almost 1.1% or 85 points in the positive, trading at $8,033. We'll start things off this morning. We're going to take a look at the VIX. As you would expect, positive market. The VIX pulling back, we're now under 16, a 15-54 print, very little volatility in this market priced in as it continues higher, pushed by earnings as well. We're going to start things off, and we're going to start things off with some of the news stories this morning. So there's your chart of the Dow and what is pushing these markets? A lot of things. One of them though, we got earnings. So we're going to jump through a few of them. Lows as they soar after the retailer beats second quarter earnings and revenue estimates. We'll get into that in a moment in terms of their chart, but same-store sales up 3.2%. You also have Target crushing their earnings as their quarterly profit jumped 17% and they also had comp sales of 3.4% growth for the quarter. Quite a number. And to jump over to those two charts this morning, we'll start it off with lows. Quite an acceleration, 10% in the positive. There is their earnings announcement, 6 a.m. this morning. You have an earnings call started at 9 a.m. Looks like we've pulled back and paired some of those gains. Still, though, lows up more than 10% and Target, quite a number. Target up almost 17% on the day. All-time highs for Target reached a high of 101.50, currently trading at 99.84. With that in mind, let's jump through some of the indices. We'll start it off with the Dow, right near session highs, 26,214. We'll jump through these charts. NASDAQ 100, 77.60. S&P 500, any of the highs as well at 29.26. Jumping over to Crude Oil above $56 was above 57, briefly, 56.76 right now. Gold contract hovering around 15.12.55 and the Euro-US Dollar trading at 1.10.96. Stay tuned, folks. I'll be coming back at 10 o'clock. Mr. Man, Basil Chapman, I'll get it out. Going to be guest hosting with me. Of course, Fast Market at 11. Basil Chapman at noon. And don't forget, folks, Basil Chapman, a live workshop tonight for opening call subscribers. Check it out on the front page of TFNN. I'll be right back.
