IEX premarket price against the prior close.

Rising yields pull stocks lower premarket after a strong close.

Tone

The S&P 500 closed 0.53% higher, the Dow 0.93% and the Nasdaq 100 0.45%. The Russell 2000 added 0.1%. Premarket, the three large indexes are down between 0.37% and 0.53%. Russell 2000 premarket prices are not in yet. The S&P 500 structure score is 74, leaning bullish. It reflects a firm uptrend and a close near recent highs. Today's dip runs against that, but the trend is the bigger picture.

Rising US yields and crude prices weighed on Asian stocks overnight. Headlines tie the futures dip to yields and the rejection of a Hormuz deal. Saudi Arabia's oil pipeline resumed exports after repairs. Nvidia, a top weight in the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100, added $150 billion to its buyback, lifting the total to $235 billion.

No major economic releases are scheduled. Jefferies Financial Group and Vail Resorts report after the close.
