Winners and Losers

Major market ETFs, including the SPY, DIA, UYG and others, are flat as the broader stock market initially looked to go for its third straight gain. Futures have since pared early gains to trade flat to just firmer.

The PowerShares QQQ (QQQQ), which tracks the technology-studded Nasdaq Composite, is down 0.1% this morning. Technology Select Sector SPDR (XLK) is up 0.7%. iShares U.S. Technology (IYW) should see increased interest closer to the opening bell. iShares S&P North American Technology Semiconductor (IGW) and Semiconductor HOLDRs (SMH) could see increased interest closer to the bell. Microsoft (MSFT) has said it looks to resolve EU trade issues by year-end. Shares are up 0.1%.

Select Financial Sector SPDRS (XLF) is flat. The Direxion Financial Bull 3X fund (FAS) is down 1%; its bearish counterpart, FAZ, is up 0.8%.

SPDR Retail (XRT) is flat but two sector names reported results this morning. Costco Wholesale (COST) reports Q4 EPS of $0.85, including a $0.02 one-time benefit from a LIFO credit. That's down from $0.90, including a $0.02 benefit, in the year-ago period. The Thomson Reuters mean analyst estimate, usually ex-items, was for $0.58. Sales fell 3% to $21.89 billion. The Street looked for $17 billion. Family Dollar (FDO) reports Q4 EPS of $0.43 vs $0.38 a year earlier but is shy of the Thomson Reuters mean analyst estimate for $0.47. Sales rose 2.6% to $1.8 billion, about in line with the Street view.
