Cosmetics company Ulta Beauty and gunmaker Smith & Wesson Brands are expected to post earnings after markets close.\n\nStocks popular among retail investors rose in premarket trading, recovering some ground after sharp declines Wednesday. GameStop gained 2.3%, Robinhood added 2% and Tesla climbed 1.8%.\nThe latest data on weekly jobless claims, a proxy for layoffs, will be out at 8:30 a.m. ET. Economists forecasted filings to edge up from the 52-year-low posted last week.\n\nOil prices rose. Global benchmark Brent crude climbed 2% and traded at $70.22 a barrel. Traders are awaiting signals from OPEC and its allies about whether the group will halt planned production increases. Ministers are scheduled to speak in a video conference Thursday.\n\nBitcoin extended losses into a third consecutive day. It traded at around $56,650, down 0.7% from its level at 5 p.m. Wednesday, and around 18% lower than its last record high.\n\n\nOverseas, the pan-continental Stoxx Europe 600 fell 1%. Swiss drugmaker Vifor Pharma jumped over 14% on reports that biotech firm CSL may acquire it.\n\n“It does seem like European countries are a bit more reactive to Covid news. We expect European stocks to be more sensitive to what’s going on with Omicron, or Covid broadly,” Mr. Baig said. “Right now we have a significant preference for U.S. equities over European.”\n\nThe Turkish lira depreciated 1.1% against the dollar, trading at 13.4 lira to $1, after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan named a loyalist as the new finance minister. The lira has lost around 45% of its value this year on concerns about Turkey’s economic policy.\n\nIn Asia, major benchmarks were mixed.

But it wouldn’t surprise me if the market action reverses or loses steam later today.”\nThe yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note edged up to 1.443% Thursday from 1.433% Wednesday. The yield curve has flattened this week, with shorter-dated bond yields rising and longer-dated ones ticking down.\n\nMarkets are also still reacting to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s comments earlier in the week, said Georgina Taylor, a multiasset fund manager at Invesco. She said the central bank was prepared to accelerate the pullback of stimulus, as the risk of higher inflation has increased.\n\nHow do we balance this potential growth impact from Omicron, with more signals of policy tightening from the Fed, Ms. Taylor asked. “Markets are all over the place.”\n\nShares of WeWork dropped over 5% in off-hours trading.

Swiss drugmaker Vifor Pharma jumped over 14% on reports that biotech firm CSL may acquire it.\n\n“It does seem like European countries are a bit more reactive to Covid news. We expect European stocks to be more sensitive to what’s going on with Omicron, or Covid broadly,” Mr. Baig said. “Right now we have a significant preference for U.S. equities over European.”\n\nThe Turkish lira depreciated 1.1% against the dollar, trading at 13.4 lira to $1, after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan named a loyalist as the new finance minister.
