S&P 500 futures rise ahead of Nvidia Q1 earnings
U.S. futures rose Wednesday as falling oil and easing Treasury yields boosted risk appetite ahead of Nvidia’s first-quarter earnings, putting major indexes on track to snap a three-day losing streak. Premarket contracts showed the Nasdaq-100 up 0.6%, S&P 500 contracts up 0.3% and Dow futures adding about 119 points. Nvidia is central to the move — it accounts for roughly 8% of the S&P 500 and has driven ~20% of its year-to-date gains — with options pricing an implied ~6.5% move around the report. Broader tech names led gains (Micron, Marvell, Intel) while uneven retailer results (Target, Lowe’s) and Fed minutes later in the day remain market catalysts.
