U.S. Equity Futures Steady After Dow Record as Powell Signals Possible Rate Cut

U.S. equity futures were little changed in early Asia trading on Sunday, holding near record territory after last week’s rally. Contracts on the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up about 0.04%, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures hovered around the flat line, suggesting a quiet start to the final week of August.

The subdued overnight action follows Friday’s surge, when the Dow climbed 846 points, or 1.9%, to a record 45,631.74. The S&P 500 advanced 1.5% to 6,466.91 and the Nasdaq Composite gained 1.9% to 21,496.53. The rally was sparked by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole remarks, which investors interpreted as opening the door to a potential policy easing as soon as next month. CME Group’s FedWatch tool now puts the probability of a quarter-point rate cut at the September meeting at roughly 84%, up from 75% earlier in the week.

Attention is shifting to a heavy earnings calendar headlined by Nvidia on Wednesday and Dell Technologies and Marvell Technology on Thursday. The chipmaker’s results will test whether the recent rotation out of megacap technology stocks persists or reverses. Traders are also bracing for Friday’s release of the July core personal consumption expenditures price index, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge, which economists expect to show a 2.9% year-over-year increase.

Dow Jones Industrial Average rallies as ceasefire hopes lift sentiment

The Dow gained over 400 points as growing optimism around a potential US-Iran ceasefire boosted risk appetite across all three major indexes.
Nike tumbled after issuing weak forward guidance, projecting sales declines for the rest of the calendar year including a sharp drop in China.
Oil prices pulled back around 1% as President Trump signaled US forces could leave Iran within weeks, easing energy supply fears.
Strong retail sales and private payrolls data reinforced the view that the US economy is absorbing the energy shock, though ISM prices paid surged.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed around 400 points on Wednesday, or roughly 0.9%, as equities extended their rally into a second session on growing hopes that an end to the US-Iran conflict may be in sight. The S&P 500 rose about 1% while the Nasdaq Composite outperformed with a gain of roughly 1.6%, led by strength in mega-cap tech names.

Ceasefire talk drives broad-based rally

The session's bullish tone was set early after President Trump posted on Truth Social that Iran's president had requested a ceasefire. Trump added that the US would consider the offer only when the Strait of Hormuz is "open, free, and clear," while maintaining aggressive rhetoric toward Tehran. This follows Trump's remarks late Tuesday that he expects US military forces to leave Iran within two to three weeks. While Iran's foreign minister pushed back against what he described as threats and deadlines, the market read the situation as an incremental step toward de-escalation. However, with Trump set to deliver a national address later Wednesday evening, traders remain on edge. Without a definitive all-clear, volatility is expected to persist in the near term #DowJones #DowJonesIndustrialAverage
