Stock futures climbed Wednesday morning after major U.S. indexes recovered some losses from the previous session<\/p>\n
Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 103 points, or 0.22%. S&P futures and Nasdaq 100 futures were also up about 0.2% each. <\/p>\n
In after-hours trading, shares of Marvell Technology<\/a> gained more than 10% as Wall Street reacted to its data center growth projections. American Eagle Outfitters<\/a> stock also rallied more than 10% after the retailer lifted its full-year forecast, saying the holiday shopping season was off to strong start. <\/p>\n The major indexes ended higher across the board on Tuesday as tech stocks such as Nvidia<\/a> rose and bitcoin gained, one day after the flagship cryptocurrency logged its worst day<\/a> since March. To be sure, the S&P 500<\/a> and 30-stock Dow<\/a> had, at one point during the session, traded in the red while the Nasdaq Composite<\/a> stumbled along the flatline as choppy sentiment around the artificial intelligence trade continues. <\/p>\n Investors are gauging the possibility of year-end rally, as December trading historically bodes well for U.S. stocks and because November was such a downbeat month as profit-taking trimmed valuations for some high-flying names. <\/p>\n Traders are optimistic about corporate earnings results and are looking ahead to the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision on Dec. 10. Markets are pricing a roughly 89% chance of a cut during the upcoming meeting, which is much higher than the odds from mid-November, according to the\u00a0CME FedWatch tool<\/a>.<\/p>\n The ADP employment report for November, which is set to release at 8:15 a.m. ET on Wednesday, is expected to reflect a relatively stable labor market and further inform the Fed’s rate decision.<\/p>\n “I think AI earnings are going to continue to be strong. … We’re going to see more contribution from more beaten-down sectors, and we’re starting to see some of the more short-cycle industrials and more beaten-down sectors starting to see better pricing power,” said Wells Fargo chief equity strategist Ohsung Kwon said Tuesday on CNBC’s “Power Lunch.” “I don’t think it’s a bubble yet.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on December 02, 2025 in New…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":327831,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[116,28,122,120,112,49545,121,3487,117,114],"class_list":{"0":"post-327830","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-breaking-news-markets","9":"tag-business","10":"tag-business-news","11":"tag-dow-jones-industrial-average","12":"tag-markets","13":"tag-marvell-technology-inc","14":"tag-nasdaq-composite","15":"tag-nvidia-corp","16":"tag-sp-500-index","17":"tag-stock-markets"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327830","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=327830"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327830\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/327831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=327830"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=327830"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=327830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
