Barring a couple of catalysts on the economic front, the market is left to the mercy of the ongoing earnings news flow as it struggles to take its next step amid the geopolitical challenges.&nbsp;IBM (IBM) and Tesla (TSLA), two key earnings the market looked forward to, disappointed investors. European chipmaker STMicroelectronics (STM) lowered its annual forecast, blaming the predicament on a softer auto and industrial machinery end-market backdrop.Energy stocks could be in the spotlight on Thursday as U.S. President Donald Trump announced sanctions against Russian oil giants.

The strategist highlighted the escalation in U.S.-China trade tensions, increased stress in funding markets, and the rolling over of Morgan Stanley’s earnings revision breadth metric after its historic rise since April.&nbsp;&nbsp;“Bottom line, I believe a new bull market began in April with a new rolling economic and earnings recovery that is now quite nascent,” he said, adding that “even new bull markets have corrections along the way, and that certain conditions argue we are at risk for the first tradable one since April.”“Keep your powder dry in the near term for what should be a great buying opportunity, if it arrives,” he added.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Key Catalysts To Watch Out For</h2>Among the key earnings due for the day are American Airlines (AAL), Alaska Air (ALK), AutoNation (AN), Dow (DOW), Hasbro (HAS), Honeywell (HON), Imax (IMAX), T-Mobile US (TMUS), Union Pacific (UNP), Baker Hughes (BKR), Ford Motor (F), Sallie Mae (SLM), VeriSign (VRSN) and Western Union (WU).The National Association of Realtors’ existing home sales report for September is due at 10 a.m. ET, with the headline number expected to come in at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.06 million units compared to 4 million units in August.Federal Reserve Governor Michael Barr is due to make a public appearance at 10:25 a.m. ET.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Other Markets Fared</h2>Gold futures moved higher early Thursday, although trading notably below the all-time high of $4,398 seen last Friday.

S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow Futures Point To Strong Start For Wall Street This Week 

American Battery Technology Company (ABAT), which manufactures and recycles battery materials in the U.S., is on track to extend its two-day slide, with the stock plunging over 26% in Friday’s early premarket session.On Thursday, ABAT plunged 36.65%, with the downside accompanied by nearly five times the average volume, after the company disclosed in an 8-K filing that the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) has notified it regarding the termination of a $57.75 million award, effective at the end of the budget period ending Aug. 31. The company said it has submitted an appeal to the termination.&nbsp;The government funding was initially approved for a project for the design, construction, commissioning, and operation of a commercial-scale facility for the manufacturing of battery cathode-grade lithium hydroxide. The company’s cost share was $57.75 million. As of Oct. 9, when the company was notified, about $52 million of the grant was outstanding.&nbsp;Undeterred by the adverse development, American Battery published the Technical Report and Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) for the Tonopah Flats Lithium Project (TFLP) near Tonopah, Nevada.

American Battery’s Meltdown Deepens: Stock Craters Over 26% Premarket, Retail Traders Bet On Rebound

Retail users on Stocktwits have largely overlooked the cancellation of the government grant. 

American Battery’s Meltdown Deepens: Stock Craters Over 26% Premarket

Wall Street could have another down day on Friday, with index futures firmly in the red early Friday.&nbsp; Yet again, there would be little news flow on the economic front due to the ongoing government shutdown. The imminent release of key tech earnings over the next couple of weeks could prompt traders to take a defensive stance.&nbsp;Fund manager Louis Navellier flagged the shutdown and the China trade uncertainty as the two major issues weighing down on the market. Credit concerns have also emerged as another significant headwind following disclosures from a few banks on Thursday.&nbsp;As of 1 a.m. ET on Friday, the Nasdaq 100 futures declined 0.51% and the S&amp;P 500 futures fell about 0.48%, and the Russell 2000 futures moved down a steeper 0.64%, while the Dow futures slipped a more modest 0.33%.The major averages fell moderately on Thursday amid a lack of any significant economic cues. Financials served as a big drag on the market after Zions Bancorp, a regional bank, disclosed a $50 million charge related to two commercial and industrial loans advanced by its California office, and its peer Western Alliance said it has sued Cantor for alleged fraud.&nbsp;Except for IT stocks, every other sector came under selling pressure amid the ongoing uncertainties.The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a>, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, and the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)</a> fell 0.68% and 0.37%, respectively, and the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/DIA">SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (DIA)&nbsp;</a>ended down 0.68% The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IWM">iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM)</a> slumped 2.11%, as small-caps, which have seen a nice run-up on rate cut hopes, experienced profit-taking amid signals of banking risks.&nbsp;Among the key earnings reports for the day are American Express (AXP), Comerica (CMA), Fifth Third (FITB), Regions Financial (RF), State Street (STT), Truist (TFC), Huntington Banc (HBAN), SLB (SLB), and Autoliv (ALV).Navellier said growth and momentum names led from the front amid the market volatility, with the fund manager confident of the trend remaining positive. He views the Federal Reserve’s rate cut and the end of the shutdown as near-term catalysts that can help the market take its next leg up.After ending Thursday’s session marginally higher, crude oil futures were marginally lower in the Asian session. The gold rally, which saw a let-up on Thursday, has resumed. On Thursday, the 10-year U.S. Treasury note yield broke below the 4% mark for the first time since early April and has fallen further early Friday. Falling bond yields reflect expectations that the central bank will lower rates. The U.S. dollar has weakened for a fourth straight session.&nbsp;The major Asian markets were swathed in a sea of red, as Wall Street’s dismal performance tempered risk appetite in the regional markets.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/why-csx-stock-rose-over-2-in-after-hours-trading/ch6rD5gR3FQ">Why CSX Stock Rose Over 2% In After-Hours Trading</a>

Credit concerns have also emerged as another significant headwind following disclosures from a few banks on Thursday. 

Shares of electric-vehicle (EV) battery manufacturer and storage solutions company Microvast Holdings, Inc. (MVST) are poised to open higher on Thursday,&nbsp;setting them on course for a fourth straight session of gains.In&nbsp;the early premarket session,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/MVST">MVST stock</a> climbed over 12% and is inching closer to the psychological barrier of $7, which it has not cleared since March 2022. So far this week, the stock has gained 44%, with the year-to-date gains at 202%. The stock was the top trending equity ticker on Stocktwits early Thursday.The newfound optimism toward Microvast could be traced back to the ongoing wrangling between the U.S. and China over the latter’s curbs on the export of rare earths, which are used for making battery materials.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment toward MVST stock moved further into the ‘extremely bullish’ territory, as of early Thursday, with the message volume at ‘extremely high’ levels.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:619/59;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_10_16_at_5_13_27_AM_png_d26a7d766e.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-10-16 at 5.13.27 AM.png" width="619" height="59"><figcaption>MVST sentiment and message volume as of 5:10 a.m. ET, Oct. 16 | source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>The stock is receiving strong support from retailers on Stocktwits, with one user suggesting it's time for the stock to reach the $10 level.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Michael_Milking/message/632524827</stembedurl>Another user said he was accumulating MVST stock, alongside other similar-sized “pillars of investment, grounded in reality of the company’s assets, IP, and global infrastructure.”<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/OsloSkier/message/632523703</stembedurl>A third user sounded even more bullish. Calling MVST a value stock, they, however, warned of a potential correction on the horizon. While noting that many stocks traded with a market cap of over $20 billion and no revenue, they said MVST’s market cap was no longer showing fair value. “This is no longer a meme name,” they added. Based on Wednesday’s closing price, the company has a market cap of $2.033 billion, placing it in the small-cap category.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/moneylizard/message/632522828</stembedurl>Wall Street analysts, however, are not optimistic about MVST’s stock trajectory, with the Koyfin-compiled consensus analysts’ price target at $5.50. This implies roughly 12% downside from the closing price on Wednesday. to Koyfin, the short interest in MVST stock is at 10.70%, the highest in more than four years, making it an ideal candidate for a short-squeeze rally.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tsmc-stock-rises-nearly-2-premarket-after-q3-earnings/ch6YxdUR3Vw">TSMC Stock Rises Nearly 2% Premarket After Q3 Earnings: Retail Traders Cheer Loudly</a>

The newfound optimism toward Microvast could be traced back to the ongoing wrangling between the U.S. and China over the latter’s curbs on the export of rare earths, which are used for making battery materials.

Early indications suggest a firmer, although cautious, start by Wall Street stocks as traders continue to contend with the uncertainties about the government reopening after the 16-day shutdown. The absence of any major government data due to the ongoing shutdown has also rendered the mood cautious.&nbsp;That said, earnings have provided an offsetting impact, with TSMC’s (TSM) stellar quarterly results confirming the strength relayed by Dutch semiconductor equipment maker ASML (ASML) on Wednesday.

More Federal Reserve speakers are scheduled to make public appearances on Wednesday, potentially giving cues about the rate trajectory, while the government shutdown lingers on.Speaking at the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, Boston Fed President Susan Collins sounded a neutral tone.&nbsp; While stating that it is prudent to normalize policy a bit further this year as inflation risks remain somewhat contained and the employment market has seen some downside risks, Collins said, “Even with some additional easing, monetary policy would remain mildly restrictive, which is appropriate to ensure inflation resumes its decline once tariff effects fade.”As of 12:15 a.m. ET on Wednesday, the Nasdaq 100 futures climbed 0.21%, the S&amp;P 500 futures added 0.19% and the Dow futures gained 0.18%.
