U.S. stock index futures edged lower on Wednesday evening after Wall Street closed at fresh record highs, driven by growing optimism over a possible peace agreement between the United States and Iran, alongside a powerful rally in semiconductor stocks led by AMD.
S&P 500 Futures dipped 0.1% to 7,379.75 points, while Nasdaq 100 Futures slipped 0.15% to 28,672.75 points. Dow Jones Futures also declined 0.1% to 49,991.0 points during evening trading.
Earlier in the session, major U.S. indexes surged after reports suggested the White House was nearing a diplomatic agreement with Iran aimed at easing tensions and advancing negotiations surrounding Tehran’s nuclear activities. President Donald Trump also signaled optimism regarding the conflict, helping improve investor sentiment across global markets.
The possibility of reduced geopolitical tensions pushed oil prices sharply lower, while investors shifted toward risk assets such as equities. Analysts noted that hopes of stability in the Middle East particularly boosted confidence on Wall Street.
Technology stocks were another major catalyst behind the rally. AMD shares soared nearly 19% after the chipmaker posted stronger-than-expected first-quarter earnings and issued a bullish outlook fueled by rising artificial intelligence demand. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index climbed 4.5% to a record high as investors increased exposure to AI-related chip stocks.
The Nasdaq Composite jumped 2% to close at an all-time high of 25,838.94 points. The S&P 500 gained 1.5% to finish at 7,365.03 points, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 1.2% to 49,910.59 points.
Investors are now watching upcoming corporate earnings reports from McDonald’s, Gilead Sciences, Airbnb, Motorola Solutions, and McKesson. Markets are also focused on Friday’s U.S. nonfarm payrolls report, which could influence expectations for future Federal Reserve interest rate decisions.
