Gores Guggenheim, Kraton, Exxon, Carnival, PG&E: What to Watch When the Stock Market Opens Today


U.S. stock futures wobbled as investors digested receding fears of contagion from China Evergrande Group and hopes for further economic reopening against supply-chain disruptions. Here’s what we’re watching as Monday’s trading gets under way.

  • Chemicals company Kraton jumped 7.8% ahead of the bell after it said it would be acquired by DL Chemical for $46.50. The stock had closed Friday at $41.52.
  • Blank-check company Gores Guggenheim climbed 2.1% premarket. It is nearing a deal to combine with Polestar that would value the Swedish electric-vehicle maker at $21 billion.
  • Crude prices are at the highest level in nearly three years, and shares of major producers are also rising premarket. Occidental Petroleum added 3.4%,  Exxon Mobil gained 2.2% and  ConocoPhillips rose 2.7%.
  • Cruise operator Carnival ‘s shares were up 2% premarket after it said it had set sail from the Port of Los Angeles over the weekend for the first time since last year. On Friday, it reported its third-quarter voyages had been cash-flow positive. Rival Royal Caribbean inched 0.7% higher.
  • Major airlines were also getting a boost ahead of the bell amid hopes for a further economic reopening from the pandemic. United Airlines added 0.7%, Delta Air Lines gained 0.8%, and American Airlines rose 1.3% and Southwest Airlines rose 1.1%.
  • But then, not everyone is excited for people to return to their normal routines. Zoom Video Communications fell 1.3% premarket.
  • PG&E shares slipped 0.6% premarket. A California prosecutor has filed an array of criminal charges against utility in connection with the Zogg Fire, which killed four people.
  • Rolls-Royce shares were up 8.9% in London. The luxury-car and jet-engine maker was chosen for the B-52 engine replacement program by the U.S. Department of Defense. U.S.-listed shares jumped 7.1% premarket.
