U.S. stock futures have shown an upward trend, driven primarily by gains in technology stocks, particularly in anticipation of upcoming earnings reports from major companies such as Apple and Visa. The Nasdaq futures rose ahead of a Federal Reserve decision, reflecting investor optimism. Recent comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, interpreted as dovish, have further contributed to this positive sentiment in the markets. As investors await inflation data, the focus remains on Apple's earnings, which are expected to significantly influence market movements.
