Dow Leads US Futures Higher Following Nvidia Earnings

 

In the wake of Nvidia’s recent earnings report, U.S. stock futures are showing positive momentum. The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures have risen by 0.5%, indicating a potential return to record highs. Meanwhile, futures on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 and the S&P 500 have also seen modest gains, up 0.1% and 0.2% respectively.
