1. Stock market movers

Facebook (FB, Tech30) posted an attractive 11% earnings boost. It announced that most people are now using Facebook on their mobile phones, cementing its domination of the coveted mobile market. Its stock is up more than 4% in premarket trading.
Qualcomm (QCOM, Tech30) is suffering premarket with its shares down 6%. It posted better than expected results Wednesday, but investors were shaken after it announced a weak outlook for the current quarter and said it would no longer issue guidance about its annual earnings.
Whole Foods (WFM) reported its same-store sales were negative last quarter, sending its stock down 6% in premarket.
Adidas (ADDDF) shares are popping 5% in Germany. On Thursday it posted positive third quarter results, sales and earnings were up in almost all global markets and the sportswear company has raised its full year guidance.

Ralph Lauren's earnings mark the end of an era. Founder Ralph Lauren announced in September that he would step down as CEO. Former Old Navy President, Stefan Larsson took over as CEO this month.

Car-related topics are being watched today, from scandal fallout through luxury brands to the price of oil.
U.S. stock futures are edging higher, and global markets are firm.
Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:

Volkswagen (VLKAY) shares are plunging again, this time after the company said it had understated CO2 emissions and fuel usage for about 800,000 vehicles.

That news broke the day after VW disputed a claim by U.S. regulators that the diesel emissions scandal had spread to some Porsche Cayenne models.
Takata (TKTDY) shares closed down over 13% after Honda (HMC) announced it was dumping its longtime supplier over its deadly airbags. Takata is also facing fines of as much as $200 million in the U.S. over the exploding airbags.
Bucking the trend, Hyundai (HYMTF) closed higher in Korea after the car maker announced it is launching a global luxury brand called Genesis.
2. More market movers
Japan Post Holdings surged 26% after its mega IPO, which also saw its banking and insurance subsidiaries go public. It helped Japan's Nikkei index rise over 1%.
In London, Burberry (BBRYF) shares are up after it announced it is combining its brands under a single Burberry label. It also announced it's investing $77 million in a new factory for its trademark trench coats.
Tesla (TSLA) shares shot up more than 11% in after-hours trading. The electric car company reported revenue below expectations but said there is "growing demand" for energy-storing batteries and its vehicles. CEO Elon Musk said the company is poised for a banner year in 2016.

October was the best month for Stocks in the last 4 years. The good momentum may continue to November.
U.S. stock futures are climbing back up from earlier lows. The S&P 500 is getting closer to an all-time high.
Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:
1. Hot Turkey
Turkey's main Istanbul index is surging around 5% after the ruling AKP party won a surprise outright majority in parliamentary elections. The lira is also jumping versus the U.S. dollar.
"A period of prolonged political uncertainty has come to an end, hence the strong rally of the Turkish lira," explained Simon Smith, chief economist at FxPro.
Still, Turkey's economy remains vulnerable to any rise in U.S. interest rates because of its yawning current account deficit and some analysts say the gains may be short-lived.
2. Stocks to watch
Chipotle, HSBC: Chipotle (CMG) is in the spotlight Monday after the company temporarily closed dozens of restaurants in Washington and Oregon after an E.coli scare. Shares in the restaurant chain have dropped by about 15% since mid-October.
Shares in HSBC (HSBC) are dipping by around 1% in London as investors react to the bank's latest earnings results. Pre-tax profits in the third quarter rose 31% compared to the same period last year, but underlying revenues were down.
3. Earnings and economics
Visa (V), Estee Lauder (EL) and Clorox (CLX) are among the companies reporting ahead of the open.
Then Allstate (ALL), Avis Budget (CAR), AMC Entertainment (AMC) and Fitbit (FIT) will post earnings after the close.

4. International markets overview
European markets are not making any major moves in early trading, but there's a positive atmosphere in the markets.
Asian stock markets mostly ended with losses.
This comes as official data shows China's factory sector slowed for a third straight month in October.
China's Premier Li Keqiang also set a new medium term target for growth, saying the world's second biggest economy will need to expand by at least 6.5% per year over the next five years, according to state media. The Chinese government had been targeting 7% growth this year.

In the U.S., weekly jobless claims figures will come from the federal government at 8:30 a.m. ET.
At 10 a.m., watch for new existing home sales data from September. The last report from the National Association of Realtor showed sales were down 4.8% in August.

A new trading week kicks off soon.
Investors are keeping an eye on China's economy, commodities and quarterly earnings.
Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:
1. Chinese GDP
China's economy has posted its slowest growth since the financial crisis, with gross domestic product expanding by 6.9% in the third quarter compared to the same period last year, according to official data.
The growth was slightly better than economists expected, but it marks a deceleration from the 7% expansion seen in the first half of the year.
Chinese government officials are aiming for annual growth of around 7%.
Meanwhile, some observers are concerned the official data is painting an unrealistically rosy picture.
"The GDP figure of 6.9% has restored fresh debates over the accuracy of China's growth statistics with fears that the GDP growth is even lower than what the official statistics dictate," said research analyst Lukman Otunuga at online broker FXTM.
2. Commodities slump
Global oil prices are slumping by about 1% and prices for precious metals and industrial metals are all declining.
As a result, shares in mining companies are taking a hit, especially in London.
Commodity prices tend to drop based on concerns about a slowing Chinese economy, since a slowdown in the world's second-biggest economy means lower global demand for construction products, shiny jewelry and fuel, among other things.
3. Earnings
Morgan Stanley (MS), Halliburton (HAL) and Hasbro (HAS) are some of the companies posting quarterly earnings before the markets open.
Then after trading finishes for the day, IBM (IBM, Tech30), Six Flags (SIX) and Sonic (SAH) will report.
4. Stock market overview
U.S. stock futures are not making any big moves ahead of the open. They're sitting around the levels where they closed on Friday.
European markets are mostly edging higher in early trading, while Asian markets ended with mixed results.
Last week the Dow Jones industrial average posted its third week of gains. It's risen by 5.7% since the start of October.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq have also made impressive gains over the same period, up 5.9% and 5.8%, respectively.

All eyes are on Chinese shoppers and gamblers on Friday.
As the world's second biggest economy slows, Chinese are becoming more cautious about spending on luxury brands.
Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:
1. Chinese cut down on luxury shopping
Hugo Boss (BOSSY) is the latest company to feel the pinch from the slump in China. The German fashion brand is tanking 10% in London, after cutting its sales earnings outlook due to tougher conditions in Asia.
Burberry (BBRYF) and Louis Vuitton (LVMHF) both blamed China for weaker sales earlier this week.
2. Stock market movers
Yum Brands, Nestle, Wynn Resorts: Yum Brands (YUM) stock rose 2.2% in after-hours trading.
Wynn Resorts (WYNN), the casino and hotels operator, is down 8.5% premarket, after its Macau division reported a net revenue decline of nearly 40% Thursday.
Nestle (NSRGF) has cut its outlook for this year, pushing its shares down 2%. The company was hit by a temporary ban on one of its most popular products, Maggi noodles, in India after reports of lead contamination. Nestle disputed the findings, and won an appeal, but the company said the affair had a "material impact."
3. Earnings and economics
Companies including General Electric (GE) and Honeywell (HON) will report quarterly earnings before the opening bell rings.
At 10 a.m. ET, the University of Michigan will release its October consumer sentiment index.
U.S. manufacturing and industrial production data will be published at 8:15 a.m. ET, giving an insight into the health of the economy.
Investors will watch the data to get a sense of how likely is it the Federal Reserve could still raise interest rates this year. The Fed didn't raise rates in September and a rate hike in October looks very unlikely. But some Fed officials still want a rate hike in 2015.
Final data confirmed consumer prices across the eurozone fell by 0.1% in September. It's the first time Europe has slipped into deflation since March, when the European Central Bank began pumping 60 billion euros ($67 billion) a month into the region's markets in an attempt to boost prices and economic activity.
4. Market overview and recap
Most world markets are gaining Friday. European markets are all up in early trading. Asian markets ended the week with a positive session.
U.S. stocks closed over 1% higher Thursday. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 1.3%, the S&P 500 was up 1.8% and the Nasdaq climbed 1.5%.

Stock markets look up Thursday after two days of losses.
But even though markets are taking a step forward, certain stocks are taking two steps back.
Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:
1. Stock market losers
Burberry, Netflix, Twitter: Shares in luxury retailer Burberry (BURBY) are dropping by about 12% in London after the British firm said it was having a tough time in China and noted an "increasingly challenging environment for luxury customers."
Netflix (NFLX, Tech30) stock is declining by about 4% premarket after the company reported sluggish U.S. growth in the third-quarter.
Shares in Twitter (TWTR, Tech30) could also take a dip Thursday as investors worry that CEO Jack Dorsey may be spreading himself too thin. Dorsey's other company, Square, announced plans for an initial public offering Wednesday. The mobile payments company will list shares in New York under the ticker symbol "SQ".
2. We all scream for ice cream
It turns out that ice cream was a lucrative business this summer.
Unilever (UL), which owns a range of well-known food and personal care brands, reported better-than-expected earnings and credited ice cream for driving sales.
"Ice cream delivered very strong growth helped by better weather than last year," the company said in a statement, noting that it encouraged consumers to buy fancy ice cream from the Ben & Jerry's and Magnum brands.
Shares are rising by about 3.5% in London.
3. Markets sparkle
Nearly all global stock markets are rising Thursday and U.S. stock futures are firmly in positive territory.
Gold prices are sparkling as they rise another 0.5% to trade around $1,185 per ounce. Prices haven't been at this level since June.
Meanwhile, oil prices are falling back by 1% to trade around $46.10 per barrel.
4. Economics
Two important economic reports will come at 8:30 a.m. ET.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics will release its consumer price index for September, which shows national inflation levels. Inflation has been lagging behind the Federal Reserve's target of 2%.
And weekly jobless claims data will be released by the U.S. Department of Labor.
At 10:30 a.m., weekly data on natural gas inventories will come out, just before crude inventory data is released at 11 a.m.

Earnings season started off slow, but now the quarterly reports are coming in strong and fast.
Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:
1. Earnings season
Several corporate giants including Wells Fargo (WFC), Bank of America (BAC), Delta (DAL) and BlackRock (BLK) will post earnings before the opening bell.
Netflix (NFLX, Tech30) is reporting after markets close this afternoon.
Shares in Intel (INTC, Tech30) and JP Morgan (JPM) look set to dip at the open after the firms reported earnings on Tuesday afternoon.
Intel reported that third quarter sales were essentially unchanged compared to the same period last year, and earnings declined by about 6%. But the results still beat Wall Street expectations.
Meanwhile, JP Morgan results showed revenue slipped by 6% as it was hit by a double whammy last quarter: the Federal Reserve kept interest rates low and chaos slammed the financial markets.
2. Market overview
U.S. stock futures are holding steady, while stock markets in Europe and Asia move into negative territory.
Mike van Dulken, head of research at Accendo Markets, said you can blame the negative market mood on China, which released weak inflation data.
The U.S. dollar is weakening a bit, while the Aussie dollar is pushing up versus all major global currencies.
Yields on 10-year government bonds are dipping around the world, except in Greece and Portugal where they are inching up.

3. Stock market movers
SanDisk, Micron: SanDisk (SNDK) shares are rising by nearly 10% premarket after Bloomberg reported the chipmaker could be in merger talks with Micron (MU) and Western Digital. Micron's shares were also up 3% in extended trading.
4. Economics

At 2 p.m., Wall Street will look for the Federal Reserve's latest "Beige Book." The report outlines regional economic conditions.
