Dow Jones futures rose slightly early Thursday, along with S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures. The stock market rally closed mixed Wednesday, weakening in the final hour as the Biden administration backed removing patent protection for coronavirus vaccines, hitting
Pfizer (
PFE) while slamming
BioNTech (
BNTX) and
Moderna (
MRNA).
But a number of energy- and commodity-related names broke out or flashed other buy points, including Matador Resources, Rio Tinto and Dow Jones components
Chevron (
CVX) and
Caterpillar (
CAT).
Goldman Sachs (
GS), yet another Dow components, also cleared a
buy point.
Several oil & gas plays
EQT Corp. (
EQT),
Cimarex Energy (
XEC),
Callon Petroleum (
CPE),
Marathon Oil (
MRO) reported earnings late Wednesday. So did fertilizer maker
CF Industries (
CF), insecticide and herbicide specialist
FMC Corp. (
FMC) and crane maker
Manitowoc (
MTW).
