9:31 am: Dow slips 100 points at the open

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell about 100 points, on track for its second straight day of losses, as fears around the deadly coronavirus linger. Apple is the biggest loser in the 30-stock index, down more than 1%.

9:05 am: Liquidity-driven bull market still in control, Morgan Stanley says

The rebound in stocks despite the lingering coronavirus fears showed that the bull market is still strong, Morgan Stanley's Michael Wilson said in a note to clients, and supports his first-half bull case of 3500 for the S&P 500. If economic growth snaps back after the virus is contained, the market may finally see a sustained rotation into smaller cap and value stocks, Wilson said, after several smaller rotations in recent years. "Bottom line, the liquidity-driven bull market is intact but it's too early to bet big on new trends in cyclical value or small-caps," Wilson wrote. — Pound

Tesla's stock rose as much as 9% in premarket trading on Monday as shares were poised to begin another week of speculative trading.

The stock is set to open near the $800 level. —Sheetz

8:41 am: Sanders nomination would raise Trump reelection odds: Raymond James

Though conventional wisdom in the 2020 election cycle thus far has been that markets would sell off if Democrats nominate Sen. Bernie Sanders for president, that appears to be changing according to Raymond James. Analyst Ed Mills writes that conversations with investors have revealed that many believe the nomination of the self-described democratic socialist would not only make President Donald Trump's reelection more likely, but perhaps increase the odds of an all-Republican government.That's why stocks haven't swooned in reaction to the Vermont senator's recent success in Iowa or expected victory in the New Hampshire primary, Mills wrote, as Wall Street views a second Trump term as a positive for the market. —Franck

8:32 am: Canaccord Genuity hikes S&P 500 target for 2020

Canaccord Genuity on Monday announced it upgraded its 2020 outlook for U.S. equities, telling clients it sees the S&P 500 at 3,440 by December. Strategist Tony Dwyer cautioned, however, that he's neutral on the stock market until S&P 500 earnings show more robust signs of growth and the threat of the coronavirus has passed despite positive fiscal and monetary policy backdrops. His new target implies just 3.4% upside between Friday's close and the end of 2020. —Franck
