Jakarta, Gotrade News - US stock futures are climbing just before the holiday-shortened trading week. This movement is a crucial signal for your investment strategy as we wrap up 2025.
Key Takeaways
- Major US index futures recorded positive gains at the start of this holiday week.
- The Tech and AI sectors are leading the market recovery again after last week's volatility.
- Stock exchange operating hours will have special adjustments during Christmas celebrations.
According to TipRanks data, Nasdaq 100 futures posted a 0.34% gain on Sunday night. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 indices also strengthened by 0.15% and 0.21%, respectively.
The market closed last week on a high note, thanks to a late rally in the tech sector. The S&P 500 managed to edge up 0.1%, while the Nasdaq posted a 0.5% gain.
Drivers Behind the Tech Sector
Oracle Corporation shares jumped after sealing a deal to manage TikTok's US operations via a new joint venture. TipRanks also reported that NVIDIA Corporation rebounded thanks to potential export permits for AI chips to China.
Investors are now watching if AI stocks can keep this positive momentum until year-end. TipRanks notes a shift of funds into cheaper sectors due to concerns over high tech valuations.
