US stock futures fell on Thursday as investors assessed another wave of corporate earnings. In extended trading, Nvidia swung between gains and losses after topping analysts’ estimates on both revenue and profit, offering reassurance amid mounting concerns about a potential AI bubble. Meanwhile, Salesforce slid nearly 5% after issuing softer-than-expected fiscal 2027 revenue guidance, reviving worries about weakness across the embattled software sector. During Wednesday’s regular session, the Dow advanced 0.63%, the S&P 500 climbed 0.81% and the Nasdaq Composite surged 1.26%. Software shares led the gains, with Oracle rising 1.2% following a bullish analyst upgrade, while Microsoft and Palantir added 3% and 4.2%, respectively. Doubts surrounding AI-driven service models continued to ease after Anthropic’s latest integrations framed artificial intelligence as complementary to, rather than disruptive of, legacy software platforms.

US Stocks Extend Strong Momentum
US equities closed higher on Wednesday, building on Tuesday’s momentum as the S&P 500 added 0.9%, the Nasdaq Composite surged 1.4%, and the Dow 0.7%. Investor focus centered on Nvidia, which climbed 1.4% ahead of its highly anticipated earnings report scheduled after the bell. Software stocks spearheaded the rally, with Oracle jumping 1.2% following a bullish upgrade, while Microsoft and Palantir gained 3% and 4.2%, respectively. Skepticism over AI service models continued to fade after Anthropic’s new integrations positioned AI as a partner rather than a threat to legacy software. Meanwhile, AMD lost 1.4% paring Tuesday's 9% surge after Meta unveiled a multiyear agreement to deploy 6 gigawatts of AMD’s graphics processing units. Geopolitical focus remained on the new 10% global import duty implemented Tuesday, though President Trump’s State of the Union address prioritized domestic retirement and housing proposals over further immediate tariff hikes.
