Even the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures slightly increased, adding 47 points.

Beyond the shores of the U.S., Japan’s Nikkei 225 soared to a new zenith. It marked a significant milestone in its market history by hitting 39,029, eclipsing its previous 1989 record. Banking, electronics, and consumer stocks powered this leap. It reflects broader global optimism in equity markets driven by robust earnings and investor-friendly policies.
