Shares of banks First Republic Bank FRC.N, Zions Bancorporation ZION.O and Pacwest Bancorp PACW.O rose between 1.1% and 4.1% in premarket trade. Netflix Inc NFLX.O slipped 1.6% after the video-streaming pioneer beat Wall Street earnings estimates for the first quarter but offered a downbeat forecast. While the start of the earnings season has been largely supportive for equities, investors will be closely watching updates from market heavyweights as well as consumer companies for signs of inflation and an economic slowdown hurting margins.
