Auction relief

The Treasury sold a record $42 billion in new 10-year notes Wednesday, drawing nearly $105 billion in total bids and solid interest from foreign investors.

The sale saw indirect bidders, which are mostly comprised of foreign central banks, take down around 65.5% of the sale, a four percentage point increase from the early April auction.

The so-called bid-to-cover ratio, a key demand metric, improved to 2.49 from 2.34 even as the overall yield eased 8 basis points to 4.483%.

Oil's well

The Energy Department said domestic crude stockpiles fell by 1.4 million barrels last week, offsetting the market impact of private data from the American Petroleum Institute showing a modest increase over the same period.

That said, supplies at the key Cushing, Oklahoma delivery hub rose by 1.8 million barrels, suggesting some demand softness.

Brent crude futures contracts for July delivery, the global pricing benchmark, were last seen 42 cents lower on the session at $82.74 per barrel while WTI contracts for June, which are tightly-linked to gasoline prices, slipped 33 cents to $78.05 per barrel.

Tesla probe report

Tesla  (TSLA)  shares moved lower in early trading following a Reuters report that said the Department of Justice is probing the carmaker's Full Self-Driving claims.

The report says prosecutors are looking into possible acts of "securities or wire fraud by misleading investors and consumers" based on public comments by both the company and its CEO Elon Musk

Intel trim

Intel  (INTC)  shares extended their 2024 decline in early trading after the chipmaker trimmed its current quarter sales forecast following a move by the Commerce Department to block some of its China-bound exports.

The decision affects chip sales to China handset maker Huawei and will likely mean June quarter sales come in at the lower end of the group's $12.5 billion to $13.5 billion forecast.

Intel shares were marked 1.9% lower in premarket and indicating an opening bell price of $30.10 each, a move that would extend the stock's year-to-date decline to around 37%.

Uber Technologies  (UBER)  shares are deep in the red after the ride-sharing group posted a wider-than-expected first quarter loss and forecast gross bookings for the three months ending in June that also missed Wall Street  forecasts.

Stock Market Today

Stocks ended modestly higher in yesterday's session, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average shrugging off a 9.5% slump in Disney  (DIS)  to record its fifth consecutive session gain as treasury yields eased and broader earnings forecasts improved

With around 80% of the S&P 500 reporting so far, collective first quarter profits are set to rise 7.1% from a year earlier to $466 billion, according to LSEG data, an advance of around $4 billion from the start of the earnings season.

Last week's softer-than-expected April jobs report, which showed 175,000 new hires and a headline unemployment rate of 3.9%, has also soothed concerns about accelerating inflation pressures heading into the summer and revived bets on an early September Fed rate cut.

Benchmark 10-year Treasury note yields were last marked 1.5 basis points higher from yesterday's close at 4.479% while 2-year notes were pegged at 4.841% heading into the start of the New York trading session.

The U.S. dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of six global currencies, was marked 0.09% higher at 105.501 amid reports of fresh intervention into foreign exchange markets by Japan's Ministry of Finance. The goal is to strengthen the yen.

The yen was last marked at 155.391 against the U.S. dollar.

In other markets, global oil prices were marked firmly in the red following data last night from the American Petroleum Institute that showed a surprise increase in domestic crude stockpiles, suggesting a near-term slump in export demand.

The Energy Department will publish official data later this morning, with WTI crude futures contacts for June delivery marked 65 cents lower at $77.73 per barrel.

Heading into the start of the trading day on Wall Street, futures contracts tied to the S&P 500, which is up 3% for the month, suggest a 7-point opening-bell decline for the benchmark.

Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, meanwhile, are indicating a 2-point opening-bell gain while those linked to the tech-focused Nasdaq are suggesting a 22-point dip
