US Stock Futures Rise on Microsoft Gains Amid Fed Policy Uncertainty
US stock futures rose on Thursday, led by gains in technology stocks, as Microsoft’s strong cloud growth and optimistic sales forecast eased concerns about corporate AI spending. Dow futures gained 209 points, S&P 500 futures rose 0.5%, and Nasdaq 100 futures advanced over 1%. Meanwhile, Meta Platforms declined after missing earnings expectations and lowering revenue guidance. The market rebound followed a prior sell-off triggered by uncertainty over the Federal Reserve’s policy, with investors awaiting upcoming inflation data for further direction.
