June S&P 500 E-Mini futures (ESM26) are up +0.31%, and June Nasdaq 100 E-Mini futures (NQM26) are up +0.23% this morning as optimism surrounding artificial intelligence helped offset concerns about renewed U.S.-Iran tensions.
Stock index futures were boosted by a more than +2% rise in Nvidia (NVDA) in pre-market trading after the company late on Sunday unveiled the RTX Spark, which it called “the most efficient PC chip ever built,” designed to enable personal devices to run AI agents. Also, AI infrastructure stocks climbed in pre-market trading, with Micron Technology (MU) rising over +5% and Sandisk (SNDK) gaining more than +4%.
