| Good morning! US stock futures were mixed on Friday as investors awaited Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium for clues on the central bank’s interest-rate strategy. Dow futures gained 0.13%, while S&P 500 futures were roughly flat and Nasdaq-100 futures slipped 0.28%, following Thursday’s tech-led rally. Markets remain focused on persistent inflation and divisions among Fed officials over rates. Treasury yields were little changed but remained near multiyear highs. Meanwhile, Nvidia’s bullish long-term outlook strengthened confidence in the AI trade, while Salesforce posted its best single-day performance since 2020, easing concerns over a potential “SaaSpocalypse.” | |
