Nasdaq, S&P 500 Futures Mixed As Earnings, Data-Heavy Week Loom: Why HIMS, WMT, TSLA, PONY, TGTX Are On Traders' Radar Today

• Caution lingers on Wall Street even after the Dow Jones Industrial Average crossed the psychological 50,000 mark on Friday.
• Goldman Sachs warned that continued weakness in the S&P 500 could trigger up to $80 billion in systematic selling.
•  Traders are also watching Fed commentary and a heavy earnings slate.
   

U.S. stock futures were mixed early Monday as investors geared up for a heavy week of economic data and earnings. Caution prevailed even with the Dow Jones crossing the psychological threshold of 50,000 on Friday. 

Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs sees more pain ahead for the markets. It has reportedly warned that if the S&P 500 continues to slide, systematic selling could reach $80 billion over the next month.

As of 3:10 a.m. ET on Monday, Dow futures gained 0.1%, while the S&P 500 futures were flat with a positive bias. However, Nasdaq and Russell 2000 futures were flat, with a negative bias.  

Meanwhile, retail sentiment toward the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), an exchange-traded fund that tracks the S&P 500 Index, has remained ‘bearish’, while the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) ETF, which tracks the Nasdaq 100 Index, moved to ‘neutral’ from ‘bullish’ last week amid high message volumes. 

In the commodities space, gold has reclaimed the $5,000/oz level, and silver is back above $80/oz. Retail sentiment on the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) and SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) has moderated to ‘neutral’ territory.
