The futures indicate a potential moderate gain for the market, despite subdued sentiment in Asia and Europe, which impacted equity demand.

Index Statistics Ahead of Wall Street Opening
The Dow Jones Index rose slightly by less than 0.1%, trading above 47,700 points. Meanwhile, S&P 500 Futures and Nasdaq Futures performed better, gaining 0.7% and 1.2% respectively.
Federal Reserve and Interest Rate Outlook
US equities experienced a decline after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell expressed skepticism about expectations for an interest rate cut in December. He highlighted ongoing differences within the committee regarding employment and inflation outlooks.
Impact on Tech Stocks
Technology companies faced losses, with significant drops in Meta and Microsoft shares attributed to increased capital expenditures.
About the Dow Jones Industrial Average
The Dow Jones Industrial Average includes 30 major US stocks and is calculated based on stock prices rather than market capitalization. Despite its long-standing historical significance, the index is often criticized for its limited scope compared to broader indices like the S&P 500.
Wall Street is attempting to stabilize after Thursday’s reversal, but the underlying sentiment remains fragile.
Summary: Dow Jones Futures modestly recovered amid eased concerns over AI and rates, with cautious global markets and tech losses shaping a fragile Wall Street outlook.
