U.S. STOCK INDEX FUTURES EDGE HIGHER AHEAD OF NVIDIA EARNINGS

U.S. stock index futures are higher on Wednesday as investors awaited Nvidia’s earnings after the closing bell.

Shares of Nvidia NVDA.O, the world’s most valuable company and a central player in the global AI boom, rose 1.7% in premarket trading.

Investors are focused on updates related to Nvidia’s next‑generation Rubin chips, even as demand remains strong for its flagship Blackwell processors, which underpin AI data centers worldwide.

Dow e-minis YMcv1 are up 0.34%, and S&P 500 e-minis EScv1 are up 0.35%. Nasdaq 100 e-minis NQcv1 are up 0.62%.

Meanwhile, Brent crude futures LCOc1 are down 2.59% at $108.38 a barrel after U.S. President Donald Trump again said the war with Iran will end "very quickly."
