FX.co ★ US Futures Waver, Earnings Eyed

On Friday, U.S. stock futures showed minimal movement, with a slight upward trend, following record highs for both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 in the previous session. Investors remained focused on corporate earnings as a key driver. In premarket trading, shares of 3M increased by approximately 2.5% after the company announced earnings that surpassed expectations and upgraded its full-year forecast. Additionally, American Express and Charles Schwab were poised to release their financial results before the market opened. In contrast, Netflix shares declined by 1.9%, even though the company exceeded forecasts for both revenue and earnings per share and improved its revenue forecast for 2025. Overall, this week, the S&P 500 has risen by 0.6%, the Nasdaq has jumped 1.5%, and the Dow Jones has increased by 0.3%, bolstered by strong U.S. economic indicators, including solid retail sales figures and lower-than-anticipated core CPI and PPI numbers, which provided reassurance about the vigor of the U.S. economy.
