US stock futures were largely unchanged on Wednesday evening after Wall Street’s record‑setting rally, with S&P 500 futures up 0.1% to 7,545.20, Nasdaq 100 futures flat at 30,048.75, and Dow Jones futures up 0.1% to 50,772.0.
All three major indexes closed at record highs in the regular session.
Market sentiment was tempered by ongoing U.S.–Iran peace‑negotiation talks, fresh U.S. military strikes on an Iranian site, and uncertainty over the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Oil prices rebounded in Asian trading, with U.S. crude gaining 2% after a prior 5% drop.
Traders are awaiting the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index release later Thursday; analysts forecast a 0.5% month‑on‑month rise in headline PCE and a 0.3% increase in core PCE.
A hotter‑than‑expected PCE reading could reinforce expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates elevated for longer.
Treasury yields steadied, with the benchmark 10‑year yield hovering near 4.5% after retreating from recent highs.
