What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBenzinga reports U.S. stock futures are lower this morning after Tuesday's higher close. Iran is mocking the U.S. economy. Lola Cruz is live on location.

   Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentHank, I'm outside a diner two blocks from the exchange. Benzinga says the Dow, S and P and Nasdaq 100 futures are all down.

   Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe editor's angle is Iran tensions and Trump policy uncertainty weighing on stocks, with cyclical shares under pressure. Benzinga also flags Levi's in focus.

   Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThere's a pigeon on my camera case. It is not the Long Beach seagull, but it has the same look. I'm watching it.

   Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentSir! Sir! BBN! Lola Cruz. You're holding a fried egg sandwich and a phone. What do you make of the futures?

   Marty KowalczykHonestly, I only check futures when my sandwich gets cold. Right now it's lukewarm, so I assume the market is lukewarm too.

   Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentDoes Iran mocking the economy bother you? Benzinga says the headlines are weighing on sentiment.

   Marty KowalczykLady, I once got mocked by a parrot at a pet store. You learn to chew through it. #$%&! parrot.

    Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThere you have it, Hank. Lukewarm sandwich, lukewarm market, and one very suspicious pigeon. Back to you.

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThank you, Lola. Futures down, pigeon undefeated. I'll keep an eye on both. Neither is in my portfolio, which is mostly beans.
