Wednesday, February 7th, 5:06am | | | | 1. Topsy-turvy stocks: The volatility of the past few trading days could continue into Wednesday. | | | | U.S. stock futures are moving down, indicating all the major indexes could drop by about 1% at the open. | | | | Meanwhile, European markets are in recovery mode after falling by 2% to 3% on Tuesday. | | | | News that German Chancellor Angela Merkel had struck a deal with her center-left rivals to form a coalition government could be supporting market sentiment.

The Dow Jones industrial average closed with a 2.3% gain, while the S&P 500 rose 1.7% and the Nasdaq surged by 2.1%. | | | | 2. Wynn steps down: Steve Wynn has stepped down as CEO of Wynn Resorts after allegations of sexual misconduct piled pressure on the billionaire casino mogul and sent the company's stock tumbling. | | | | Wynn Resorts said it has appointed Matt Maddox, who currently serves as the company's president, as its new CEO with immediate effect. | | | | Wynn, 76, has denied the accusations of misconduct, which gained widespread attention in late January after an investigative report by The Wall Street Journal detailed numerous allegations against him, citing dozens of sources. | | | | But investors were rattled by the allegations. Wynn Resorts shares have plunged more than 18% since the Journal report. The stock was down about 1.5% in premarket trading. | | | | Before the Bell newsletter: Key market news. In your inbox.
