S&P 500 futures climb as U.S. tech stocks lift sentiment ahead of bell

U.S. stock-futures registered gains ahead of this week’s open, with the S&P 500 futures up about 0.26% and the Dow futures advancing 0.16%. Technology stocks such as Apple and Netflix helped drive positive momentum after recent strength in earnings and AI infrastructure spending. Meanwhile, commodity markets were mixed—Brent crude dipped, while gold rose roughly 1.5%. The broader optimism is tied to expectations of smoother Fed messaging, renewed risk appetite in Asia and pre-market flows supporting equities globally.
