<\/div>\n

Dow Futures were up about 70 points ahead of Friday\u2019s open, suggesting a modest rebound for the blue-chip index after a stretch of record-setting gains elsewhere and relatively muted sessions for the Dow itself.<\/p>\n

US stock futures traded in green early Friday, pointing to a quiet start after a strong week on Wall Street.<\/p>\n

S&P 500 futures edged up 0.1%, while Nasdaq 100 futures were flat. Dow futures ticked higher by 0.13%.<\/p>\n

Markets have been on a tear. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq extended their winning streaks on Thursday, each setting fresh all-time highs both intraday and at the close.<\/p>\n

The S&P 500 has now recorded 13 record closes so far this year, including four just this week after breaking above the 6,300 level on Monday.<\/p>\n

The Nasdaq joined in with its own milestone, closing above 21,000 for the first time on Wednesday and locking in three new records in as many sessions.<\/p>\n

5 things to know before Wall Street opens<\/h2>\n

1. <\/strong>Technology stocks remain the heartbeat of the market\u2019s recent strength, with Alphabet and Nvidia continuing to lead the charge.<\/p>\n

With better-than-expected earnings, but what really grabbed investor attention was their commitment to artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> Nvidia, still riding high on AI demand, added to its rally as investors remained upbeat about the chipmaker\u2019s dominant position in the space.<\/p>\n

Tesla, by contrast, weighed slightly on the sector after Elon Musk struck a cautious tone, warning of potentially \u201crough quarters\u201d ahead.<\/p>\n

Still, despite that drag, big tech remains the engine behind this year\u2019s market rally.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Investors are keeping a close eye on US trade talks. With a deal recently sealed with Japan, the spotlight has now turned to negotiations with the European Union and other key allies.<\/p>\n

A potential 30% tariff on EU imports is still on the table, with Washington\u2019s August 1 deadline fast approaching.<\/p>\n

The stakes are high: any breakthrough or escalation could ripple across markets, especially for industrial giants and global firms that make up a large chunk of the Dow.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Earnings season is off to a strong start, giving stocks a lift. So far, more than 80% of S&P 500 companies that have reported have beaten Wall Street expectations, according to data from LSEG.<\/p>\n

That trend has helped keep equity markets supported this week.<\/p>\n

Attention now turns to upcoming results from major consumer and industrial names. Any surprises, good or bad, could set the tone at the open and stir volatility in early trading.<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> Traders widely expect the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged at next week\u2019s policy meeting.<\/p>\n

President Trump\u2019s recent visit to the central bank<\/a> helped calm nerves, signaling that no sudden moves are on the horizon. Still, markets aren\u2019t entirely in the clear.<\/p>\n

Fresh inflation and GDP data due later today could shift the outlook, especially if the numbers come in hotter or cooler than expected.<\/p>\n

Any surprise on that front could move bond yields and stir volatility in equities as investors look ahead to August.<\/p>\n
