Stock futures pointed to a modestly higher open Wednesday, a day after major indexes sank as technology shares sold off. Meanwhile, gold and silver futures continued to rebound after retreating from recent highs.
Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 futures were up 0.3%, 0.2, and 0.1%, respectively.
Yesterday, the tech-heavy Nasdaq and benchmark S&P 500 closed a respective 1.4% and 0.8% lower, while the blue-chip Dow ended down 0.3% after setting a new all-time high early in the session.
All of the Magnificent Seven stocks were lower Tuesday as investors rotated out of technology firms. They pointed mostly higher before the bell Wednesday, with shares of Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL) up 1% ahead of its quarterly results after the close and those of Amazon (AMZN), which reports earnings tomorrow afternoon, up 0.3%.
Shares of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) sank 9% in premarket trading even though it reported better-than-expected quarterly results and guidance.
In other post-earnings moves, shares of Enphase Energy (ENPH) soared 24%, Super Micro Computer (SMCI) jumped 13%, Eli Lilly (LLY) surged 7%, Match Group (MTCH) advanced 7%, Take-Two Interactive Software (TTWO) rose 4%, and Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) was down 6%. AbbVie (ABBV) and Uber Technologies (UBER) also were set to report earnings before the bell, while Qualcomm (QCOM) was slated to do so after markets close.
Gold futures rose 3% to $5,075 an ounce and silver futures surged 7% to more than $89 an ounce. The precious metals rebounded sharply yesterday after traders locked in profits following their surges to roughly $5,625 and $121.75 an ounce last Thursday.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury—which impacts interest rates on a variety of consumer loans including mortgages—rose to nearly 4.29% from Tuesday’s close below 4.27%. West Texas Intermediate crude futures, the U.S. benchmark, gained 0.7% to nearly $63.65 a barrel.
Bitcoin, which briefly dropped to around $72,900—its lowest level since November 2024—on Tuesday, was little changed at roughly $76,000. The U.S. dollar index, which tracks the value of the greenback against a basket of global currencies, ticked 0.1% higher to 97.51 but remains near four-year lows.

100% Stocks? One Expert Makes the Case for an All-Equity Portfolio in Your Working Years

“The reason is that a lot of the advice out there does not take into account the biggest economic asset that working people have: their working capital. In other words, the future stream of wage income and Social Security retirement benefits they have coming to them,” Choi said. “The thing to realize is that shocks to your labor income or Social Security benefits are uncorrelated with the stock market’s return.”
