Stock Futures Today

stock market news todayU.S. stock futures forecasted a 38-point decline from yesterday's close. A cyberattack on the data of four million federal employees across nearly every government agency was announced by U.S. officials late Thursday. Additionally, the May jobs report is in focus in today's trading session.

On Thursday, the DJIA fell more than 170 points after Greece announced plans to bypass a pending debt payment on Friday. German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced Greece and its international creditors are still far from a possible deal. Meanwhile, falling commodity prices weighed down the energy and mining sectors.

Top News in the Stock Market Today

  • The Stock Market Today: This morning, the Department of Labor announced the May unemployment rate hit 5.5%, with the U.S. economy adding 280,000 jobs. That's a strong performance compared to the 225,000 expected by economists. The figure will likely lead to significant speculation in the job market on whether the Federal Reserve will hike rates in 2015...
  • OPEC Oil: The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) delegates will meet in Vienna, Austria to discuss oil production targets for member nations. Delegates did not anticipate any change to policy or output levels heading into the event. Oil prices were on the rise.

Stocks to Watch Today:

  • Stocks to Watch No. 1, CHK: Shares of Chesapeake Energy Corp. (NYSE: CHK) fell nearly 4% yesterday to hit a new 52-week low.
