Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures steady ahead of Nvidia results
U.S. stock futures hovered near the flatline early Wednesday as investors digested President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address and prepared for closely watched earnings from Nvidia.
Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq-100 traded roughly unchanged in early action, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.
The muted moves followed a strong regular session on Tuesday, when the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow all advanced as investors rotated back into technology shares.
