Good Morning, Traders!…👋
U.S. stock futures jumped Thursday, fueled by upbeat earnings from tech heavyweights Meta (META) and Microsoft (MSFT), along with optimism surrounding a new trade agreement with South Korea.
Meta impressed with a strong earnings beat and better-than-expected guidance, even as the company continues to ramp up spending on artificial intelligence. Microsoft also delivered robust results, highlighting continued momentum in cloud services and AI.
Later today, the spotlight shifts to Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN), both set to report after the bell.
On the macro front, investors await the latest reading of the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge—the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index—which could offer fresh insight into the direction of interest rates.

SECTOR SNAPSHOT
On the last trading day, most sectors closed in negative territory, with Energy and Materials experiencing the steepest declines. This widespread downturn suggests a cautious market sentiment, possibly driven by broader economic concerns such as inflation, interest rate anxieties, or geopolitical events. In contrast, Information Technology, Communication Services, and Utilities posted gains, potentially reflecting investor flight to perceived safer or growth-oriented assets, or sector-specific resilience amidst the general market weakness.

One of the biggest potential winners? Mode Mobile.
Mode's EarnPhone already reaches 50M+ users that have earned over $325M, and that's before global satellite coverage. With SpaceX eliminating "dead zones" worldwide, Mode's earning technology can now reach billions more in unbanked and rural populations worldwide.
Their global expansion is perfectly timed, and you still have a chance to invest in their pre-IPO offering at just $0.30/share. Final allocations are disappearing quickly.
Mode's recent 32,481% revenue growth and their newly reserved Nasdaq ticker $MODE puts them one step closer to a potential IPO.
