Wall Street looks for ABM Industries to report softer Q2 earnings and revenue versus a year ago amid ongoing volatility from the Covid 19 outbreak. Mortgage applications rose 9.3 percent two weeks ago as rates stayed near record lows, but remained volatile due to unemployment and recession pressures.
