Tech stocks are leading the gains, supported by positive earnings and analyst ratings for companies like Oracle and SanDisk. The market is seemingly pricing in optimism regarding a potential US-Iran deal, contributing to the bullish sentiment.
Stock futures moved higher on Tuesday following a strong session in which traders shrugged off a breakdown in peace talks between the U.S. and Iran, yet were optimistic that a deal between the two countries was still possible. Traders also navigated a slew of fresh corporate earnings results.
S&P 500 futures rose 0.3%, while those tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 21 points. Nasdaq-100 futures climbed 0.5%.
Technology stocks supported the broader market for another day. Oracle rose nearly 5% in premarket trading, building on the more than 12% gain it saw in the prior trading day. Sandisk gained more than 2% on the heels of Evercore ISI initiating coverage with an outperform rating.
