As investors assessed the most recent corporate earnings and braced themselves for private payroll data, stock futures saw a slight increase of 42 points, or 0.1%, in the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures, a 0.2% increase in the S&P 500 futures, and a 0.4% increase in the Nasdaq 100 futures.
HPE surged more than 14%, surpassing Wall Street expectations on both fronts in its fiscal second quarter, while CrowdStrike surged nearly 7% on the back of better-than-expected earnings and guidance.
These developments came after a quiet but successful day on Wall Street, with the Dow rising roughly 140 points and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each adding close to 0.2%.
