US stock futures held steady on Wednesday, navigating a balancing act between optimism stemming from strong blue-chip earnings reports and anticipation of key tech company announcements. The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures saw a modest 0.1% gain, while the S&P 500 edged up by 0.2%. The Nasdaq 100, however, dipped slightly by 0.1%, reflecting a market split on the outlook. Tuesday’s session marked a milestone for the Dow as it broke above 47,000 thanks to upbeat reports from Coca-Cola and General Motors. However, this momentum was tempered by Netflix’s disappointing earnings results that weighed on investor sentiment. Gold and silver prices also paused their rallies, adding further uncertainty, while President Trump’s renewed commentary on trade talks with China amplified the market volatility.
