US stock market today: futures stable amid truce in the Middle East.
- Stock market today with stable futures.
- Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq are directionless.
- Bitcoin reflects global caution today.
US stock futures traded with slight variation on Thursday night, reflecting caution even after the three-week extension of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. The announcement, made by current US President Donald Trump, had a limited effect on market sentiment.
The latest figures show a mixed picture among the main indexes. S&P 500 futures reached 7.155,00 points, up 0,16%, while Dow Jones futures fell 0,16% to 49.411,00 points. Nasdaq futures, however, advanced 0,66%, reaching 27.112,75 points.
Among the smaller capitalization indices, Russell 2000 futures fell 0,20% to 2.780,60 points. The VIX volatility index rose 2,06% to 19,31, indicating greater investor attention to short-term risks.
In the commodities market, gold showed a slight decline of 0,21%, quoted at 4.714,30. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is trading up 0,53% today, at US$78.381,28, following the moderate movement of global markets.
In the previous session, the main indexes reached new intraday highs, but lost momentum throughout the day. The S&P 500 closed lower, while the Nasdaq Composite recorded its biggest daily drop in almost a month. The Dow Jones also ended in negative territory.
Even with signs of diplomatic progress in the Middle East, the market remains sensitive to the issue. Tensions increased after Trump ordered the US Navy to "shoot and destroy any vessel" involved in mine operations in the Strait of Hormuz.
In the corporate world, Intel stood out by announcing better-than-expected results, with its shares rising about 15% in after-hours trading. In contrast, companies like IBM, Tesla, and ServiceNow saw declines after their earnings reports.
Furthermore, Meta and Microsoft announced job cuts in light of high investments in artificial intelligence. For the next session, investors are monitoring the results of Procter & Gamble, HCA Healthcare, and Norfolk Southern, as well as new data on consumer confidence in the United States.
