1. Microsoft [MSFT]

2. BlackBerry [BBRY]

BlackBerry shares are skidding more than 5% in the pre-market. It isn't clear what the shares of the embattled smartphone maker are moving on.

3. EBay [EBAY]

FOX Business Associate Producer Julie VerHage says she's watching shares of eBay as billionaire investor Carl Icahn prepares a proxy battle to put his people on the firm's board and spin off PayPal. The shares are down 0.73% in early action.

4. Juniper Networks [JNPR]

Jana Partners unveiled a sizeable stake in network-equipment maker, sending its shares zooming close to 6% in pre-market trading.

5. Argentine Peso

It's not a stock, but it's worth watching. The Argentine government devalued the peso by 12.7%, according to Nomura. The biggest devaluation since 2002 is aimed at bolstering the country's foreign reserves and boosting its economy. The move is ricocheting into bigger marketplaces amid contagion worries.
