<\/div>\n

US stock futures were little changed on Tuesday as investors paused after Monday\u2019s record-setting rally and turned their attention to Kevin Warsh\u2019s first Federal Reserve decision as chair. <\/p>\n

The market mood was still supported by lower oil prices after the US-Iran peace framework, but traders were reluctant to add risk before the Fed\u2019s latest inflation projections.<\/p>\n

Technology remained the bright spot. SpaceX extended its post-IPO surge, memory chip stocks gained, and Qualcomm drew attention after a report that it was pursuing a major AI chip deal. <\/p>\n

The session is shaping up as a test of whether tech momentum can outrun rate anxiety.<\/p>\n

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

1. Futures drift before the Fed<\/strong><\/p>\n

US stock futures edged higher, with S&P 500 futures little changed, Nasdaq 100 futures up 0.2%, and Dow futures rising 43 points, or 0.1%.<\/p>\n

The muted tone followed a strong Monday session, when the Dow closed at a record after oil prices fell and inflation fears eased.<\/p>\n

The Fed is expected to leave rates unchanged at 3.50% to 3.75% on Wednesday. The bigger issue is how Warsh describes inflation, unemployment and the rate path.<\/p>\n

2. SpaceX rally keeps tech alive<\/strong><\/p>\n

SpaceX rose about 10% in premarket trading<\/a>, extending its post-IPO run and putting it on course to challenge Amazon\u2019s market value.<\/p>\n

The stock has become a key barometer of risk appetite after its blockbuster Nasdaq debut.<\/p>\n

3. AI chip trade broadens<\/strong><\/p>\n

Memory chip names also gained before the bell, with Micron, Western Digital and Seagate rising between 2.9% and 4.8%.<\/p>\n

Qualcomm climbed after The Information reported that the company was in talks to buy AI chip startup Tenstorrent for $8 billion to $10 billion.<\/p>\n

4. Oil relief is not complete<\/strong><\/p>\n

The US-Iran agreement has pushed oil lower, but shipping confidence around the Strait of Hormuz may take weeks to rebuild.<\/a><\/p>\n

That keeps airlines, cruise operators and energy producers in focus.<\/p>\n

Lower crude helps the inflation story, but it does not remove the Fed\u2019s problem. Inflation remains above target, and markets still see a meaningful chance of a December rate hike.<\/p>\n

5. Stock movers add to the split tone<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dave & Buster\u2019s fell sharply after missing quarterly earnings and revenue expectations. The weak report added a consumer caution note to a session otherwise led by technology.<\/p>\n

The Bank of Japan also raised rates to a 31-year high, reminding investors that global central banks are still fighting inflation even as Middle East risks ease.<\/p>\n
