2026.01.1523:50:46UTC+00US Futures Steady After Positive Session

US stock futures showed minimal movement on Friday after Wall Street experienced broad gains in the previous session, led by strong performances in the banking and technology sectors. On Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased by 0.6%, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite rose by 0.26% and 0.25% respectively, marking a recovery from a two-day losing streak for all three indices. Semiconductors were at the forefront of this upward trend, with TSMC surging 4.4% following robust fourth-quarter earnings and an announcement to boost capital expenditure for 2026, which bolstered optimism about artificial intelligence demand. In addition, Nvidia advanced by 2.1%, AMD increased by 1.9%, Applied Materials soared by 5.6%, Micron gained 1.1%, and Broadcom saw a 0.9% rise. The financial sector also experienced a rebound, with Goldman Sachs climbing 4.6% and Morgan Stanley increasing by 5.8%, compensating for earlier declines in the week. However, investors continued to exercise caution due to heightened geopolitical tensions involving Iran and Greenland, alongside ongoing concerns regarding the Federal Reserve’s autonomy.
