FX.co ★ US Futures Signal Cautious Open

On Friday, US stock futures showed minimal fluctuations, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures staying relatively steady, while Dow Jones futures declined by approximately 150 points. This conservative stance came after consecutive gains in major indices, driven by the alleviation of geopolitical tensions. In premarket activity, Intel experienced a significant drop of over 13% following the release of a forecast that fell short of expectations and highlighted persistent manufacturing challenges. Conversely, Nvidia rose by 0.9% and AMD increased by 2.5% amid news that Nvidia's CEO plans a visit to China soon, which might facilitate the reopening of a crucial market for the company. Meanwhile, Intuitive Surgical saw a 2.5% increase after exceeding earnings and revenue forecasts. Investors remain attentive to the forthcoming preliminary S&P Global PMI figures for the US, scheduled for release later today. For the week, the S&P 500 is down by 0.4% and the Nasdaq by 0.3%, marking the second consecutive week of declines, while the Dow Jones remains largely unchanged.
