FX.co ★ US Futures Steady After Record-Setting Rally

U.S. stock futures remained stable on Friday following another robust performance on Wall Street, where both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite achieved new record highs. During Thursday's trading session, the S&P 500 increased by 0.27%, the Nasdaq saw a rise of 0.09%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 0.43%. This upward movement occurred as investors largely disregarded the latest round of tariff escalations by the Trump administration, which included new 50% duties on copper and Brazilian imports. President Donald Trump also indicated that new tariff proposals could be dispatched to Canada and the European Union as early as today. In corporate developments, Nvidia rose by 0.75%, continuing its ascent after becoming the first publicly traded company to reach a $4 trillion market valuation, adding momentum to the AI-driven tech surge. Meanwhile, Tesla experienced a 4.7% jump due to optimism surrounding its expansion in the robotaxi market and plans to incorporate xAI’s Grok chatbot into its vehicles. Additionally, Delta Air Lines experienced a remarkable 12% surge after reaffirming its full-year earnings forecast, boosting confidence within the travel sector.
