U.S. stock futures rose Thursday as Wall Street digested recent quarterly results from a slew of megacap tech companies. Investors are coming off a losing session after the Federal Reserve held steady on rates. S&P 500 futures added 0.4%, while Nasdaq 100 futures advanced 0.5%. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 177 points, or 0.4%. Shares of Meta Platforms and Tesla gained 1.8% and 2%, respectively, while Microsoft shares dipped more than 2% after the companies reported earnings. Meta beat on top and bottom lines, but Microsoft shares faltered after the company’s quarterly revenue forecast disappointed. Tesla shrugged off an earnings and revenue miss. Other “Magnificent Seven” names are set to report in the coming days, with Apple’s results being due for a Thursday release. Amazon will soon follow suit, as the megacap tech company reports next week. On Wednesday, all three major averages ended the session lower as a 4% decline in Nvidia weighed on the market. The declines came after the Fed paused its interest rate-cutting campaign, leaving its borrowing rate unchanged in a range between 4.25% and 4.5%. In their post-meeting statement, policymakers noted that inflation remains “somewhat elevated.” “The implication is that we’re on hold until the inflation rate goes down, and unfortunately it’s probably not going to go down very much in the several months ahead, so I wouldn’t be looking for rate cuts at the next meeting,” Jeffrey Gundlach, DoubleLine Capital CEO, said Wednesday on CNBC’s “Closing Bell.” “We have a relatively stable place where we’re standing, and it kind of supports the fact that the market is in a calm position right now, and so is [Jerome] Powell apparently,” he said. On the economic data front, the fourth-quarter gross domestic product reading is due on Thursday, and weekly jobless claims are out in the morning. Investors are also looking ahead to Friday’s personal consumption expenditures price index report for December. U.S. Treasury yields were slightly lower on Thursday as investors weighed the Federal Reserve’s first interest rate decision of 2025. At 5:42 a.m. ET, the 10-year Treasury yield was lower by 5 basis points at 4.506%. Meanwhile, the 2-year Treasury yield was down 2 basis points at 4.209%. Japanese and Australian markets climbed Thursday, breaking ranks with Wall Street that fell overnight as the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged. Several Asia-Pacific markets were closed for the Lunar New Year holiday. Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 and Topix advanced for the second straight day. The Nikkei 225 gained 0.25% to end the day at 39,513.97 while the broader Topix index was up 0.23% to close at 2,781.93. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 extended gains from the previous session to end the day up 0.55% at 8,493.70, its highest since Dec. 5. Oil prices slipped for a second day on Thursday after U.S. crude stockpiles rose more than expected, though attention remained on tariffs threatened by U.S. President Donald Trump on Mexico and Canada, the two largest suppliers of crude to the United States. Brent crude futures were down 43 cents, or 0.6%, at $76.15 a barrel. U.S. crude futures were down 46 cents, also 0.6%, to $72.16. U.S. crude futures had settled at their lowest price this year on Wednesday. Safe-haven gold prices rose on Thursday as investors worried about potential import tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump, while investors awaited a key inflation report to gauge the Federal Reserve’s policy path. Spot gold was up 0.7% at $2,776.79 per ounce, as of 1020 GMT. U.S. gold futures climbed 0.8% to $2,791.70. “Despite the fact that tariffs on gold in the States are extremely unlikely given that it is a reserve asset, risk managers are taking no chances and moving metal into the States,” said StoneX analyst Rhona O’Connell.
