Wednesday’s Factors and Events

Stock index futures came well off session lows after Hillary Clinton conceded the presidential election to Donald Trump.

Dow futures were about 190 points lower after earlier falling 800 points. Stock futures fell and bonds rallied as markets feared Donald Trump could pull off an upset and take the White House.

Just before midnight ET, S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures plunged more than 5 percent. Around 8:03 a.m. ET, they held about 23 points lower and 76 points lower, respectively.

 That was just above levels identified as “limit down” by the CME, which confirmed to CNBC that S&P and Nasdaq futures can trade above but not below those prices until 9:30 a.m., ET, when the Wednesday U.S. trading session begins.
