US stock futures stepped higher on Thursday as investors digested a fresh batch of megacap earnings alongside the Federal Reserve’s latest policy decision. Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ=F) led gains, up 0.4%, while those on the S&P 500 (ES=F) added 0.3%. Tesla (TSLA) gained around 2% after reporting quarterly results that exceeded expectations. Investors are now gearing up for Apple’s (AAPL) quarterly earnings, due after the closing bell. Still, futures markets are still pricing in two quarter-point rate cuts by the end of 2026, according to CME FedWatch.
