U.S. stock index futures held steady Monday evening after Wall Street closed higher, with the Nasdaq reaching a new record high on optimism over a possible Federal Reserve rate cut next week.
S&P 500 Futures rose 0.1% to 6,510.25, Dow Jones Futures gained 0.1% to 45,618.0, while Nasdaq 100 Futures stayed flat at 23,810.0 by 20:07 ET (00:07 GMT). Earlier, the S&P 500 added 0.2% and the Dow closed 0.3% higher. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.5%, setting a fresh record close.
The rally was fueled by semiconductor stocks, particularly Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO), which surged after posting stronger-than-expected earnings. Investor sentiment was also boosted by growing expectations of monetary easing from the Fed.
