SP500 pulled back from session highs and moved into the negative territory as traders took some profits off the table after the strong rebound from recent lows. There are no important economic reports scheduled to be released today, so traders focus on earnings reports. Super Micro Computer, which is down by 19.5%, is the worst performer in the SP500 index today. The stock found itself under strong pressure as traders reacted to the company’s earnings report, which showed that Super Micro Computer’s margin missed analyst expectations. Airbnb was another big loser in the SP500 index. The stock was down by 14.6% as the company warned that U.S. demand was slowing.

Currently, SP500 is trying to settle below the support at 5220 – 5240. In case this attempt is successful, it will head towards the next support level at 5100 – 5120.
