Tech Stocks Lift Futures Ahead of Nvidia’s Earnings

 




U.S. stock futures edged higher as investors positioned themselves for one of the most closely watched earnings reports of the season: Nvidia’s. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 futures all posted early gains, reflecting renewed optimism in the tech sector.
